How to Use Blogger and Google+ Comments System Together With Toggle

Google+ comment is a cool new and improved commenting system for blogger, which allows you to create a strong bond with your readers. This new commenting system not only provides extra coverage but also brings additional engagement to any Blogger site. This system provides them the flexibility to share and discuss much more quickly. However, before anyone could leave a comment, they have to get themselves registered on Google plus. It would work for some users, but not everyone wants to put barriers around their site and content. Who does not like freedom? Same thing applies here too. You do not want to force your visitors to starting using platform because, you are endorsing them. Today in this article, we will show you How to create toggle Google+ and Blogger comments in blogger

We have created a toggle method that would allow you to enable the new Google+ Comments, but without losing your old Blogger commenting system. Users can continue to comment like they use to do in the past but Google Plus users can hit the “G+” toggle button and can comment, share and view the activity you post has had using that.

What are the Disadvantages of Google+ Comments?

First and foremost to use this feature, it is must that a person should have an account on Google plus otherwise he cannot leave a reply. Now not every single person on this earth is using this platform so this probably would annoy your visitors.

Secondly, this commenting system depends upon the URLs. Unlike Facebook Application ID, it does no stores anything in your API. You would lose your all previous comments if you change the URL of your article or think about re-branding your domain.

It does not send notifications to your Email Address whenever someone either leaves a reply to your blog or posts a new comment. On the other hand, all comments are published instantly without any review so it may become an ideal place for Spammers.

The Solution:

Step#1: The first thing you need to do is to backup your template. After logging in, from the dashboard go to Template >> Edit HTML. Now enable the HTML Editor’s built-in search box and search for the following code. (Quick Tip: Click anywhere on the HTML editor and Press CTRL+F to enable the search box).

**********************************************************************************

<b:includable id='threaded_comments' var='post'>

.
.
</b:includable>

**********************************************************************************

Step#2: After finding the code mentioned above, replace it entirely and accurately with the Following code. (Remember: Make sure that the tags are properly closed otherwise you would face errors).
**********************************************************************************

<b:includable id='threaded_comments' var='post'>

height:32px;
position:absolute;
margin-left:-20px;

}
.tooltipContainer {
position:relative;
display:block;
width:100%;
height:100%;
top:0;
left:0;
}
.tooltipContainer a {
width:100%;
background:transparent url(https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeF0rP2gFwtMqxWbIwwpZsc1oFtPMcWIp8GDvNdFPnNSNvMm-abChrb9ILS-PMNQ0s0T7DZoJ9LFo7BrF06Df6IdMhyVcQUQRQ2Wbqq8BXYgkxcK5CNZxKnCtFD2nsw6uLYlIDz7WS90vh/s1600/sprites.png) 0 0 no-repeat;

height:100%;
text-decoration:none;
display:block;
padding:0;
}
.sharingLink {
display:block;
position:absolute;
text-indent:-9999px;
}

After adding the above CSS codes, again in the template search for ending </head> tag and just above it paste the following jQuery code:

<script type='text/javascript'>
/*<![CDATA[*/
$(document).ready(function() {
textToShare = '';
$(document).mousemove(function(m) {
generateTooltipPosition();
});
});
$(document).mouseup(function() {
$(document).mousemove(function(m) {
generateTooltipPosition()
});
var textToShare = getTextToShare();
var MBLSharetip = document.getElementById("MBLSharetip");
if (textToShare != '') showMeTooltip();
});
$(document).click(function() {
var textToShare = getTextToShare();
var tooltipTitle = null;
var newTooltipTitle = $("#MBLSharetip").attr("title");
if (newTooltipTitle == "") return;
if (newTooltipTitle !== tooltipTitle) $('#MBLSharetip').animate({
opacity: 0
}, 30);
if (textToShare != "") showMeTooltip();
});
$(window).resize(function() {
if ($('#MBLSharetip').show()) {
$('#MBLSharetip').animate({
opacity: 0
}, 30);
}
});
function showMeTooltip() {
var pageURL = window.location.toString();
var twitterLink = "https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=" + getTextToShare() + "&via=" + twitterAccount + "&url=" + pageURL;
$('#MBLSharetip').show();
$('#MBLSharetip').animate({
opacity: 1
}, 30);
$('#sendToTwitter').attr('href', twitterLink);
}
function getTextToShare() {
shareTxt = '';
if (window.getSelection) {
shareTxt = window.getSelection();
generateTooltipPosition();
} else if (document.getSelection) {
shareTxt = document.getSelection();
generateTooltipPosition();
}
return shareTxt;
}
function generateTooltipPosition() {
var selection = window.getSelection && window.getSelection();
if (selection && selection.rangeCount > 0) {
range = selection.getRangeAt(0);
pos = $(window).scrollTop();
selection_text = selection.toString(), rect = range.getBoundingClientRect();
$('#MBLSharetip').css({
top: (rect.top + pos - 20) - 32 + 'px',
left: rect.left + (rect.width / 2) + 'px',
});
}
}
/*]]>*/
</script>

Now lastly, to display the widget we need to add the HTML code in the template. Search for the ending </body> tag and just above it paste the following code:

<script>var twitterAccount = "mybloggerlab";</script>
<div class="MBLSharetip" id="MBLSharetip">
<div class="tooltipContainer"><a id="sendToTwitter" href="" class="sharingLink twitter"><span></span></a></div>
</div>

Once everything is done press the "Save Template" button present towards the top of your screen and you're done. Congratulations, you have successfully installed the widget on your site. Now visit your blog and select any text to see what happens next.

How To Add Html5 Facebook Recommendations Bar to Blogger

After publishing a post on our blog on adding HTML5 version of Facebook like box which have the potential to boost your Facebook fans, we mentioned that Facebook has lot of other plugins to offer for bloggers and website owners. So, in this post we will going to discus and adding Facebook Recommendations Bar plugin, which basically increases the page views of your blog by showing recommended posts to your readers after the reader has reached to the specified percentage of your blog page. This plugin will give recommendations of only the posts that were previously liked or shared on Facebook by anyone. The number of likes are displayed below the recommended post title with a small thumbnail. It also won’t annoy your readers because it can be expanded and collapsed and it also has a Like button which can increase the likes of your articles. Facebook previously offered a similar plugin named Recommendations Box which didn’t gain much popularity due to lack of user engagement. But this new Facebook Recommendations Bar plugin does have the potential to increase the page views and impressions which leads to increase in traffic. Today we are once again going to add the HTML5 version and not XFBML version to Blogger. IFRAME version is not supported by this plugin.

How to Install Facebook Recommendations Bar on Blogger?

The installation involves 2 steps. In the first step we will obtain the App ID and the second step is to install the plugin in Blogger. There is also something related open graph markup which we will discuss at the end of the tutorial to avoid confusions. So let’s get started.

Step 1: Obtain Facebook App ID

The Recommendation Bar plugin requires an “App ID” to work properly which is pretty easy to get. Just follow the steps.

Go to your Facebook Apps account and click the ‘Create New App’ button at the top right corner
In the pop-up box enter the “app name” you want and “Choose a Category” and then click Create App ID button. In our case it is ‘MBB Recommendation Bar‘
Enter CAPTCHA code and click submit
Below page will be displayed after entering the CAPTCHA code.
Now click Settings menu.

a. Copy the 15 digit “App ID” as shown in the image above and store it somewhere as we will need it in further steps
b. In the form, change email ID in the “Contact Email” field if you want Facebook to communicate with you on different email ID for anything related to this app.
c. Below the “BasicTab” just click “App Domains” and enter your blog URL and click Save Changes.

Step 2: Install the plugin in Blogger

Now we will install the HTML5 version in Blogger.

Go To Blogger -> Template -> Edit HTML -> Proceed
Search For <body> (Tip:- Use Ctrl + F to search)
Just below <body> paste the following code

<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {   var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];   if (d.getElementById(id)) return;   js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;   js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1&amp;appId=***************";   fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;static_page&quot;'>
<div style='z-index:999999; position:absolute;'>
<div class="fb-recommendations-bar" data-trigger="40%" data-read_time="10" data-action="like" data-side="right" expr:data-site="data:blog.homepageUrl" data-num_recommendations="3"></div>
</div> 
</b:if>
</b:if>

Now, remember the 15 digit App ID we saved before? Copy that and replace *************** with it and save template.
Great!!! You have now successfully installed the HTML5 version of Facebook Recommendation Bar. To test it out, just go to any of your blog post and scroll down to about 40% of the page and wait to around 10 seconds to see the recommended posts in action. This plugin will be displayed only your blog post pages and not on your home page or static pages.

Changes you can make:

data-trigger is the attribute used to expand the Recommendations Bar after the reader has scrolled to specified percentage. We have set it to 40% and you can change that to any percent you want but make sure you don’t exceed 100
data-read_time specifies the time the plugin will take to load after the reader has reached the specified percentage which you set above. We have kept 10 seconds which is the minimum time and you can increase it to any time in seconds.
data-action is used to specify which verb will be display for like button. By default it is kept to ‘Like‘ though you can change it to ‘Recommend‘.
data-num_recommendations specifies the number of recommended posts that will be displayed. We have kept it to 3. You decrease it to 1 or increase it to a maximum of 5 posts to show.

What about the Open Graph Markup?

Yea, we do remember that. Facebook says you must include the open graph markup (or you can say open graph metadata or meta tags) in your template or else the Recommendations Bar will give you an error. It is actually not compulsory but it is recommended to prevent any present or future errors. So, if you want to avoid the errors, then just paste the following code right after <head> tag and save your template.

<!--OPEN GRAPH metadata STARTS-->
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
<meta content='article' property='og:type'/>
<meta expr:content='data:blog.title' property='og:site_name'/>
<meta expr:content='data:blog.pageName' property='og:title'/>
<b:if cond='data:blog.postImageThumbnailUrl'>
<meta expr:content='data:blog.postImageThumbnailUrl' property='og:image'/>
</b:if>
<b:else/>
<meta expr:content='data:blog.title' property='og:title'/>
<meta content='website' property='og:type'/>
</b:if>
<meta expr:content='&quot;en_US&quot;' property='og:locale'/>
<meta expr:content='data:blog.canonicalUrl' property='og:url'/>
<!--OPEN GRAPH metadata ENDS-->

If you were getting errors before, then it should have been solved now.

In these days social popularity is very and most important thing for a blog because the social media popularity brings tons of traffic and page views to a blog. This widget has a set of five social media properties i.e. Facebook, Twitter, RSS, Google plus and Pinterest. This widget works on some very simple but effective CSS and java-script coding. The widget has sliding effect whenever a visitor will hover on a social profile, it will appear with a slide effect of that profile.

Where This Widget Will Appear:-

Before, we get on to our Tutorial let us first learn where this widget will appear in a website. Since, this is a Sleek Widget. Therefore, it is extremely small in size so it wouldn’t take a large space on a website. We have integrated a Slide out Functionality that would produce sparks in the eyes of visitors. It will appear at the Top-left side of the screen.

After adding the above CSS codes, again in the template search for ending </head> tag and just above it paste the following jQuery code:

*********************************************************************************

<script type='text/javascript'>
/*<![CDATA[*/
$(document).ready(function() {

});
$(document).mouseup(function() {

var MBLSharetip = document.getElementById("MBLSharetip");
if (textToShare != '') showMeTooltip();
});
$(document).click(function() {
var textToShare = getTextToShare();
var tooltipTitle = null;
var newTooltipTitle = $("#MBLSharetip").attr("title");
if (newTooltipTitle == "") return;
if (newTooltipTitle !== tooltipTitle) $('#MBLSharetip').animate({
opacity: 0
}, 30);
if (textToShare != "") showMeTooltip();
});
$(window).resize(function() {
if ($('#MBLSharetip').show()) {
$('#MBLSharetip').animate({
opacity: 0
}, 30);
}
});
function showMeTooltip() {
var pageURL = window.location.toString();
var twitterLink = "https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=" + getTextToShare() + "&via=" + twitterAccount + "&url=" + pageURL;
$('#MBLSharetip').show();
$('#MBLSharetip').animate({
opacity: 1
}, 30);
$('#sendToTwitter').attr('href', twitterLink);
}
function getTextToShare() {
shareTxt = '';
if (window.getSelection) {
shareTxt = window.getSelection();
generateTooltipPosition();
} else if (document.getSelection) {
shareTxt = document.getSelection();
generateTooltipPosition();
}
return shareTxt;
}
function generateTooltipPosition() {
var selection = window.getSelection && window.getSelection();
if (selection && selection.rangeCount > 0) {
range = selection.getRangeAt(0);
pos = $(window).scrollTop();
selection_text = selection.toString(), rect = range.getBoundingClientRect();
$('#MBLSharetip').css({
top: (rect.top + pos - 20) - 32 + 'px',
left: rect.left + (rect.width / 2) + 'px',
});
}
}
/*]]>*/
</script>

**********************************************************************************

Now lastly, to display the widget we need to add the HTML code in the template. Search for the ending </body> tag and just above it paste the following code:

**********************************************************************************

<script>var twitterAccount = "mybloggerlab";</script>
<div class="MBLSharetip" id="MBLSharetip">
