Hi, Found that a lot of people is trying to put "Facebook Comment" addon instead of Review in products. See example http://jvpets.com, just press on any product

I found the way to do it without purchasing module and paying money.

Here is how I did it:

I've downloaded "Modules Anywhere" extension from here: http://www.nonumber.nl/extensions/modulesanywhere
I've downloaded Nurte Facebook Comments from here http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/social-web/social-comments/18065

After successfully installing both modules just put {module Nurte Facebook Comments} in the middle of end of every single item description.

To make sure that on user facebook wall they will say at least correct link to your homepage you need to edit Nurte Facebook Comments extension files. I don't have enough php knowledge to make sure it writes current page, but homepage is enough for me.

Go to: public_html/modules/mod_nurte_facebook_comments/ and find mod_nurte_facebook_comments.php

CHANGE LINE 49 to

.'<fb:comments href="'.'http://PUT YOUR SITE HERE.com'.'" '


Also make sure you disable review system in Admin Area > Components > VirtueMart > Configuration > Shopfront > Shopper Review/ Rating System.
