HI,

I'm trying to make open graph work with my web site to take full advantage of it.

Id like a post to be made to someone's facebook wall when then post on our forum, post,comment or like on our joomsocial part of our site and if they vote in one of our polls on the main site.

What would action would I need to do the following and hoping for a begninners step by steo to set up.

I followed the demo video and kind of undetstand but I don't see options for what id like it to do.
No when I look at my developer page on facebook does it show like how your semo does with the pictures and all.

PLease help .. banging head on monitor now...

Are you saying it does show or does not show in the developer page?

In general, our Actions documentation needs some help.. we'll agree. There's a large update coming for JFBConnect over the next month or so, and we'll be overhauling some documentation regarding Open Graph at that time.

As to your questions though, for setting up Actions, the easiest ones to setup are for ones our Open Graph plugins already support. Unfortunately, we don't support any from the extensions you mention. We support uploading photos or joining groups in JomSocial, but not likeing or commenting on things yet. We support voting buttons in Joomla articles, but not the polls component (which I'm assuming you're using). You didn't mention the forum software you're using, but right now, we don't support actions for any forums.. we're hoping to add support for Kunena Open Graph Actions in the future.

To integrate with existing features in extensions, it takes some development work on our end to 'hook' into those features. We try to add new actions/integrations with each release, but it takes a bit of testing and development to do so.

With that said, you can create custom buttons on your site for actions.. so things like "I voted" could be a button you put near your polls page that would post back as an action to the user's feed if they click it or a "My favorite" button next to threads in your forums. If you need help with creating custom actions, let us know and I'll gladly try to help explain.

Thanks,
Alex

I have an app made and the auto log in works. I've been trying to setup any open graph item to work and have zero luck.

I followed your examples for joining a group in jomsocial and uploading a picture.

Your documentation fails to show how to set it up on the developer side in facebook.
So I have no idea what action or such to use.

Also, when will support of kunea forums posts be done is that in the april update?

The release in April will not have Kunena Open Graph support. We're looking to add that to a different release later this year.
