When trying to create the "photo" custom object, I am getting the following message box on Facebook:

Please use the common photo type instead of creating a custom one.

Facebook's creation tool can be a little silly. When you type in the word "photo" for the object name, make sure you hit 'tab' or click on the word "Photo" in the drop down from the box that appears. If you don't do that, you'll be creating a custom object type instead of using one of FB's pre-defined ones.

Hope that helps,
Alex

There is not a choice for photo. The only one I can find that would be similar is collections. I am trying to setup the open graph for Jomsocial when someone creates an album and uploads photos.

To make sure that I am setting things up right is that I have created the app for logging into my site and all the open graph objects and actions will be created in this app. Correct?

I figured it out what I was doing wrong. I was on the Dashboard page in Open Graph on Facebook. I went back to Getting Started and created my action and object. Now everything is working fine now.

One question...when creating the action and object for the Jomscoial photo upload for an album which layout should I choose: list or gallery.

Glad you figured out the object settings. It can be confusing. If there was something our documentation that was difficult to follow, let us know. We're in the process of overhauling a bit of the docs, and would love your feedback.

Where are you seeing those options? I'm actually not familiar with those in the Open Graph creation process, but it changes often enough that I may have missed something. If it's something in JomSocial, let me know where I can find it or a some information about the differences.

Thanks,
Alex
