Question

I’m trying to integrate both the Facebook login button and the comments plugin on my page.

I have them working separately, and when someone logs in via the login button, the comments plugin responds (and logs the user in), but my issue is the other way around; when someone logs in to post a comment via the comments plugin, there is no event to pass to the login button from the comments plugin.

Is there any way around this?

Thanks,

You should register to a FB javascript event on comment, or better yet to login. The login event should be triggered when the user logs in from a like or comment action:

    window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
                FB.init({
                    appId   : 'xxxx',
                    status  : true, // check login status
                    cookie  : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session
                    xfbml   : true // parse XFBML
                }); 
   FB.Event.subscribe('auth.login', function() { 

                      /*create a reload in wich you login the user, because now you have the cookie. Or via ajax */
             });
}
