Open Graph won't work with K2

The object type needs to be "article" and it's a built-in FB Object. The "article" object type will also need to be setup in your Facebook Developer Area. The news.reads action only works for "article" types.

If you're not getting any popups after that, please try the following:
* Make sure you're logged into your site with a Facebook user that is an administrator of your FB application
* In the Configuration -> FB API area of JFBConnect, enable the "Show Facebook API Errors on Front-End". That may show an error popup if the action isn't triggering properly and hopefully explain why.

If that doesn't work, please post (or Private Message) a URL of the K2 page we can test with.

Thanks,
Alex

Something's not configured right. I don't see the Javascript we should be inserting in the page to trigger the popup for the action.

That has nothing to do with your Facebook App configuration, it's all in JFBConnect somewhere. That doesn't mean your App is right, but the Javascript needs to be working first.

Please check:
* Your object is setup for the proper K2 category (or parent category of the one containing that article)
* Your action is 'associated' to the Object you created for that category of K2 content with the proper checkbox(es)
* The Action Type is set to "On Page Load" and the Timer is set to 10 (or more).

I know you mentioned those above already, but as long as the action and object are properly associated, JFBConnect should *try* to post the action. That doesn't mean it will work, but that's the beginning. If that still doesn't work, try changing the "Object Type" for your K2 category to "testtesttest" and then check (or tell us to) the HTML for the og:type property. It should change. If not, it means your Object is not properly being used for that page.

Let us know how that goes,
Alex

Randolph,
Changing it to testtesttest wasn't going to make the actions work. It will help diagnose if your object is setup correctly. Looking at your page, the Object type still looks to be "article". Can you change the Object Type to "testtesttest" again and then use Facebook's Debug Tool, below, to test the K2 Item you're working with:
developers.facebook.com/tools/debug

In there, look for the "og:type" tag. If it isn't updating to testtesttest, it means your Object is not working for the K2 article you set it up on. Check your category settings in the Object and make sure it's published. Until the page is properly setting the type tag, the action won't be able to trigger at all.

We'll try to look at your site later today if time permits, but it may not be until tomorrow that we can investigate on-site.

Hope that helps,
Alex

It sounds like it'd be best to look at one of your sites to understand where something's going wrong. There's definitely some confusion somewhere, but I'm not sure where it is. Hopefully when we get in, we'll be able to see what's going wrong.

If you could, please Private Message me:
* Super Admin access credentials
* The K2 article name and front-end URL that you are trying to test with

We'll do what we can to help figure out what's going wrong.

Thanks,
Alex

Randolph,
Thanks so much for access to your site. We were able to find the issue and implemented a fix there. We'll release an updated K2 Open Graph plugin in a few days.

Phil/Anyone reading this,
To fix, edit the /plugins/opengraph/k2/k2.php file. Around line 44, you'll find:Change that to:With that change, you should be able to properly start configuring K2 objects and actions.

Hope that helps, and as always, let us know your results,
Alex
