Facebook Likes & Interests

Gary,
Can you try it out on our Demo site? I know you can't log in with Chrome, per your other message, but with something else. I just changed all 4 of those fields to "test", logged out, and logged back in, and all 4 of those fields were imported. My profile:
www.sourcecoast.com/jfbconnect/demo/your.../66-alex-sourcecoast

We're using 4.0 on the demo site. Not sure why they wouldn't work for you, but as always, we have suggestions
1) Obviously, make sure those fields are filled out in your profile
2) Check your privacy settings for the user (in Facebook). Too private can prevent certain fields from being accessed, even if given permission.. Facebook in those cases acts like the Hotel California for some of the strictest settings. You can enter the fields, but they can never leave.
3) Try decreasing the amount of Like's you have for those fields. If you have lots, it's possible there's an issue there. We test with only like 5-10 in a profile. If it doesn't work with a lot, that's something we need to fix, but would help.
If you don't want to remove fields, just let us know roughly how many you have, and we can add that many to one of our test profiles and try it out.

If the above doesn't work, then let us know. The other possibility is that Facebook's changed how it stores data, and we simply need to update our test profiles to get the data stored differently and try it out again. This is rare, but has happened where 'old' profile data works, while new stuff doesn't.

Thanks again for the feedback,
Alex

Oh yeah.. another thing to try is go into Facebook and delete our SourceCoast website from your approved applications. That way, you'll get the permissions pop up when you try again. Do so on the demo site and see what permissions are requested. Facebook changes them here and there, and don't remember if they still ask specifically for "Music" or if they just call it "General interests" or something like that.. either way, it should hopefully be called out.

I'll have to look into that and see. That's exactly what I was talking about with the 'rare' comment above. The old field may still work, if a profile hasn't been updated using the new structure they have.. but if I go set those fields again, it may 'break' since JFBConnect may be trying to pull using the old method. All conjecture, but definitely possible.

We're planning a 4.0.1 release for next week for any bugs that are found in 4.0 (so far, very little, thankfully). We'll definitely investigate this more for that update.. but no answers now.

Thanks,
Alex

Great sleuthing, Gary! Appreciate the feedback. We'll include this update in the 4.0.1 release for later this week. Once you get that version, you won't have to include the extra permission in that box, but won't be a problem if you leave it (we filter out duplicate permission requests).

Again, thanks, we like it when work is done for us
Alex
