I added a Facebook comments block that can be added on user pages, for example by adding it to the Content area. This was added in #1470946: Adding a Facebook Comments block

Hi wmostrey, I add the block to the content area, then what? I thought I just had to put a token like "[user:name]" where it says "Only the listed pages" to avoid making it appear twice everywhere it's used, but that didn't do it. So I tried manually putting something like "user/1", and it did show up, but got the dreaded message:

"Warning: http://mysite.com/user/1 is unreachable."

I'm also trying to see if Facebook comments for user profiles can either be an alternative to Statuses (http://drupal.org/project/statuses), or maybe used with it. What do you think about this idea?

Ok, I realize that Facebook comments cannot be used with Statuses, because apparently it has its own comments. So this means Facebook comments is in and Statuses is out, which means I really gotta figure out how to use Facebook comments on user profiles. So if someone knows something I don't know, please let me know. In the meanwhile, I'll keep toiling at it until it works.

I finally got it working:

1) The warning appeared because I used the wrong app id among the many I have.

2) All I had to do was use "user/*" instead of a token.
