We haven't created all the documentation for the new release yet.. that will be done over the next few days and, after that, we'll send out a newsletter about the actual launch.

As for creating an Autoposter, the general steps are:
* Enable an Open Graph Plugin for the extension you want to integrate with (i.e. Open Graph - Easy Blog)
* Create Channels in JFBConnect for the social networks you want to post to
* There is an "Autopost" section within the Channels that you can choose which extensions and features you want to autopost, like "All EasyBlog Posts".

You can also create an Open Graph object (in the Open Graph admin area) for a specific Open Graph category that you only want to have auto-posted and then choose that object in the Channel configuration. That allows you to have some specificity in which content within EasyBlog gets autoposted.

Definitely let us know if you run into any issues with the above, and we'd love to hear your feedback!

Thanks,
Alex

If i want post all blogs entries of easyblog in my public page on FB (no my personal timeline), do i have to set my fb account as Channel owner? SO do i have to have authenticated with Facebook before?
And which type of channel do i have to choose in my case? (Profile, page or group?)
And for the last the autopost feature will share the image of post and the intro text to social network or truncate text of my blog post or it share the entire post? Or do i have to create object to do that?

If i want post all blogs entries of easyblog in my public page on FB (no my personal timeline), do i have to set my fb account as Channel owner? SO do i have to have authenticated with Facebook before?

The channel owner will need to be an administrator of your Facebook page. You will need to authenticate with the FB user first on your site and then set up the channel. During the creation of the channel, you will probably be prompted to log in again as that user on the front-end in order to accept new permissions that are needed for posting.

And which type of channel do i have to choose in my case? (Profile, page or group?)

You will choose 'Page'. After you have selected a channel owner, the list of pages that the owner is an administrator for will be populated to choose from.

And for the last the autopost feature will share the image of post and the intro text to social network or truncate text of my blog post or it share the entire post? Or do i have to create object to do that?

For the image, there will need to be an og:image tag on the page. I don't recall off the top of my head if EasyBlog sets those tags on the post view, but if they don't, then you should set up an Object in our JFBConnect > Open Graph > Objects area. The text of the autopost will be retrieved from the post regardless of whether an object was created or not.

Please let us know if you have any more questions or any problems that arise. I wrote some pretty extensive automated tests for Autoposting. However, this is a new and pretty large feature, so there are bound to be some hiccups.

Ok, thanks for your replies. So if the text in truncated in easyblog post it will be truncated too in the post shared on fb, correct?

We just had to double-check the code. Right now, it looks like we made it a bit inflexible in that the auto-post will take the first 20 words of the post and use that. It's not configurable. We've already added that to our to-do list and the next release will likely have this as configurable option.

I hope that helps,
Alex

I get this message on Jfb connect. So i suppose i have to add "manage_pages" permission about my FB app, correct?
If it is so before request FB permission i have to complete the note of this request by telling how app use manage_ pages permission, where use this app (website, mobile or other) and also i have to upload a screenshot to show How a person logs in with Facebook and How a person sees this permission used in your app.

All you have to do is re-authenticate on the front-end of your site with your Facebook account. JFBConnect will automatically request any new permissions that you may need.

If the Facebook user that you're creating a channel for is an admin of your Facebook App, then you don't need to go through the review process. You only need Facebook to review your permissions if you'll be requesting them of your general users. Admins can grant any permission always.

Thanks,
Alex

Now it works, thanks. Yes it's good you'll add the possibility to customize how to share the post.
A last question please: about Show Only Admins field do i have to set NO, correct? To show post to all users of my fb page.

Actually, that field is actually for displaying the FB posts on your website in the SCSocialStream module, not for posting to the Page. Any post visibility options should be set in the Facebook Page's settings configuration area.
