[Facebooker-talk] fb_comments and fb_board not working

[Allen Walker]

I tried the following it posts don't take:

<fb:comments xid="my_wall" callbackurl="<%= url_for(:controller => 
"home", :action=>"index", :only_path => false, :conditions => {:_method 
=> :get}) %>"><fb:title>some title</fb:title><fb:comments>
