copied!<p>There in lies the problem. Facebook provided the migrate function when it transitioned from the first incarnation of the comment plugin to the second, and now it's completely eliminated in the third. The problem however is that the comments made while using the "migrate=1" option in the second version, are lost when you switch to the new version (to get rid of the warning).</p> <p>Integration into blogs/cms etc are now losing comments if they hadn't switched over to the href rag in the second incarnation, which a lot didn't since they didn't want to lose the original comments from the fist round of using the plugin.</p> <p>Does anyone have a working query to pull comments via XID from the old code? At least then we can include it as an add-in below the new comment plugin to add any old comments at the bottom.</p> <p>Edit: So I recall when the first plugin came out, there was a comment manager tool on the forums that Gil had made. The forums are still (mostly) accessible, so I took a look through and he had removed it. I recall there was a way that it pulled all your commments via XID in a loop if I recall. </p> <p>I'm gonna try to dig up/mock up a remake of that where we can at least have something pulling the comments so we can reference them. I think it all depends on how the XID was stored. I recall storing my href (before the href was an option) as the XID because I knew it was unique. However now when I attempt to do a lookup via the comments.get test tool it gives an error about the XID formatting, so I'm afraid they may have actually mashed/cleansed it of old http:// data.</p> <p>Frustrating to say the least, but not the only time something has changed without warning or any real thought process behind it.</p>
