After installing JFBC I noticed that my status updates on my FB page shows in the Jomsocial feed. Kind of cool!
But only a part of the status update shows, and there's no link to "Show more" (or something). Have I missed something in the settings?
And where do I translate "had a status update on Facebook"?

Edit:
Rolf hasn't connected to his FB account yet. Makes a bit hard to fetch his posts... :)
But the issue is still there. Only one of my FB posts shows.

How much is cut off of the status? In general, we should import the text of any status updates you create. Things like images and links won't get the preview that you'd get in Facebook though. The whole status text should be imported though, so I'm not sure why that would be cutoff.

The translation file you're looking for is en-GB.plg_socialprofiles_jomsocial.ini. The specific string to edit would be:
PLG_SOCIALPROFILES_JOMSOCIAL_STATUS_UPDATE_HEADLINE

You can edit that in the .ini file or use that string in the Translation Manager in the admin area of your site to create an override.

Thanks,
Alex

It's cut of before the smiley. I'll guess JFBC can't handle that...
Would be nice to have a link to the FB post though. If I post an image and add some text, it might be a very confusing text without the pic... :)

Ok, got the translation. I didn't look in admin lang folder. But now I know. Thanks!

Can you do some tests with posts that don't have the extended characters? I'm not sure why that would be breaking it, but would be good to know if that's the case. . It's also possible that JomSocial is having an issue with some of those characters and causing the break. Either way, we'll gladly look into getting that fixed.

As for a link, that's a good idea. Not one any has requested before, but I added it to our to-do list to investigate and implement in a future release.

Thanks,
Alex

I did a post on my FB page (yes, it's public). Didn't show up in the JomSocial feed. Strange thing this. When I think about it, the post I mention above is the only post that shows in the JomSocial feed.
My client Rolf, has also made posts on his FB page that doesn't show.

Why is this?

The only time status is imported is when the user logs in with their Facebook account on your site. We don't automatically fetch status updates as their posted.

If you are authenticating with Facebook and the status isn't importing, let us know, and we'll gladly investigate further.

Thanks,
Alex

All right! :)
Logged in with FB and yes, my latest post was fetched. All is good! :)

Back to the original subject:
The entire post was fetched. Even the smiley. Don't know what happened to the other post.

But it all seems to work now.

Thanks for your time! :)

Glad that it seems to be resolved, but please let us know if you run into the strange behavior with the text cutoff again.
