OpenGraph Actions and EasyBlog

Glad you figured out the restriction. That error message was because your Joomla - Content object of "article" was not marked as a Built-In Object. I enabled that, and things look right now. I can't test though, since I'm not an admin of your app.. so give that a go, and let us know how it goes!

Thanks,
Alex

Fantastic! Glad to hear that's going for you! For your last point, we agree that Open Graph Actions are going to be huge. It took an enormous effort to implement it how we did, keep it simple, yet flexible, and make it all work together. There are, and will be, hiccups for a while, so thanks for your patience. We definitely think its worth it though. There's a lot we *could* do in JFBConnect, but don't due to possible issues or it not being worth the effort. Actions are something that are going to be a support nightmare for a while, but totally worth it!

With that said, what are you trying to do for 'review'. If it's simply looking at a user's profile, that probably isn't possible. Only built-in Facebook actions should be triggered automatically on Page Load (yeah, we need to clarify that now, I realize). Other actions should only happen on a user-action on your site. So, if you have jReviews on your site, and a user can actually leave a review for a user, you can post that action to their timeline. If they're just reading a profile, that can't be done. You could however add a "I'm reviewing" or "Recommend" or "I like" or "Great user!" button and create an action for that, if you want. The user would have to click it to post to their Timeline, but it is something you can do now with JFBConnect (though a little effort will be required).

Auto-posting is something Facebook wants to limit due to abuse they've seen over the last 6 or so months since Open Graph Actions were enabled.

Hope that all makes sense, but if not, or you have questions, just let us know!

Oh, and finally, when you get through the weeds of Open Graph Actions, we hope you'll consider leaving a rating and review for JFBConnect, Open Graph Actions, or our support on the Joomla Extension Directory. It's not required, but certainly appreciated!

Thanks, and best of luck,

The Like button is a good choice. Again, you can create your own "Action" button if you wanted, instead of theirs, but I'd recommend that. With the JomSocial Open Graph plugin, you can define the type for profiles. However, by just enabling the Open Graph plugin, it will automatically set the Open Graph image tag for the profile page to their profile as well as the title (their name) and description (I think this is their "About Me" field, but possibly last status update). That's all without even creating a "Profile" object type. Some of the cool stuff our Open Graph plugins can do automatically by just enabling them

We just re-built the EasyBlog plugin with the missing files and did a quick test. Everything looks good, which means we'll push it to our update server in a few hours. So, in 6 or so hours, go to the Joomla Installer - Update Manager and hit Refresh. v4.3.1 should show up there, update, and work without a hitch.. hopefully

As for categories, the category you select will work for all sub-categories. So, just select a main parent category, and you should be good to go. Then, if you, for some reason, don't want a sub-category to have the action applied to it, just create a new object for that specific category and don't assign the action to it. It's flexibly confusing, is the term I think we're going to call it... the biggest issue with EasyBlog or K2 is that the category drop down doesn't show the hierarchy. Something we will be adding, but right now, it's a flat and confusing list. Enjoy!

Finally, a Kunena specific plugin is something we'll create just for the "I posted" action. However, for the auto-post on read action, you'd need to mark all your posts as "article" since the news.reads action only works with articles. If that's something you'd want to do, you could actually do what you're looking for right now with our Custom Object plugin. Create a new Custom Object and add the following parameters:Then, give the Object type of "article". I'm actually not sure of the view=thread thing, just giving you the idea, you'd have to know their non-SEF structure.. but that's the power of the Custom Object plugin.. you can now assign an object-type to any extension, even if we don't have a specialized plugin for it. The specialized plugin would just add some new specific features.

Hope that helps explain, as always, but if not, keep us posted on what you need! Loving to see that actions are being created and submitted and, most of all, WORKING!

Best of luck,
Alex

Dave,
For JomSocial photo upload, what we've done is:
* Facebook Open Graph Object name: "gallery" (can use album or whatever)
** Create that in JFBConnect as well for "Album Images" in the JomSocial plugin. It's *not* a FB Built-in Action
* Facebook Open Graph Action name: "upload" (or whatever)
** Create the action in JFBConnect for "Upload Image" as "upload". It's also *not* a FB Built-In Action
** Associate that to the Album Images Object

Publish both and hopefully, you're good to go!

Best of luck, and we'll chat tomorrow
Alex

Awesome! Keep us posted on the approval process. Hopefully, it will go smoothly, but curious to start hearing about some 'live' actions using JFBConnect outside of our demo site!

The EasyBlog plugin was put in the upgrade server a few hours ago. If you go to the Joomla Installer and click on the Update tab, it should show and be installable from there. If you can't get it, let us know.

Thanks,
Alex
