Whew.. sorry for the back and forth in getting this resolved! The good news is that things are working properly. This is a pic from your site:
File Attachment:


The Create Post button is actually working. However, it's hidden behind your template. I was able to get that through adding the right style to change the z-index directly in the browser. If you can add this to your template's overrides area somewhere, it should show to you too:
.ui-dialog.ui-widget {
    z-index: 100;
}

With that showing, you should be able to post any page from your site manually to both Twitter and Facebook at the same time. Additionally, you can use that view in your screencast of how you use the publish_pages permission.

I hope that helps, but if you need anything else, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Thanks,
Alex

Okay I see the floating widget now with the fix, I will show that in the screen cast. Thanks for the help.

Before I thought you were talking about when a user was creating an article in the front end using the editor, that was were you see the create a post button for the social channels. I was talking about the auto posting of an article to Facebook when I publish it. That was why I was asking about if it is visible in the back end as well. I assume I will still be able to auto publish an article to Facebook using the permissions below as I do now?

For Screen Casts:
manage_pages - Show how you can select a page that you own in the Channels area. If you're showing a stream of that feed on the front-end, show the stream in your video as well.
publish_pages - Show the "Create Post" button on the front end of your site. Show that you can select your Page, add a message and post it. It's good to note that only admins see that button as well.. it's not for the general audience of your site.

There isn't an option in the admin area to post specific content. That can only be done on the front-end when you're on the page you want to post. The admin area lets you setup what channels you can post to and setup automatic posting of content only.

I assume I will still be able to auto publish an article to Facebook using the permissions below as I do now?

Those permissions are what allow JFBConnect to post content from your site, whether it's automatic or manual using the "Create Post" button. As noted, Facebook has added new notes that automated posting is a no-no, but we're trying to get clarity on what that means.. for a general audience, that makes sense.. don't automatically post content to all of your users pages. That's just annoying. For your own page as an admin, automatic posting that's really controlled just by you 'seems' ok, but again, I'd recommend submitting the publish_pages permission request showing the manual option.

In another thread about app permissions , I touched on how confusing the app review process is right now and how it may turn out that app review isn't even necessary in these cases, like it wasn't 6 months ago.. but we'll see.

Thanks,
Alex

Another quick question regarding the question in the app review:

"A member of our review team will test how your app uses manage_pages. Please give them detailed step-by-step instructions for how to see this permission the same way people using your app would."

I will give them step by step instructions on how we use it but they can't really test it since they will not have Admin access. Is Facebook fine with this?

Sorry to keep bugging you about this. :-)

I did the screencasts and was about to submit the app for review when I saw I needed to set the "App Verification Details" form for the review process.

On that form it asks for a "Page For Testing" and an optional Test user. It says I have no eligible pages. It also states:

Before you can submit for review, complete the following:
You must provide a page with your Page Tab app installed.

From my understanding a Page tabs load content from your webserver using an iframe. I don't have one setup and don't plan on using one with my Facebook Page.

After checking my Facebook App Setting I notice that their is some information for the Page Tab with the name called "JFBConnect". I think the JFBConnect Autotune may have set this up? Can I delete it? Or what do I need to do?

Thanks

That's what we're hoping and believe. We're putting together all the details of one of our submissions now and will be writing it up, but you can take a look at our video for the Pages permissions:


In our description, we do *not* give admin access, note that it's for admins only and state that general users will never have this permission requested of them.

After checking my Facebook App Setting I notice that their is some information for the Page Tab with the name called "JFBConnect". I think the JFBConnect Autotune may have set this up? Can I delete it? Or what do I need to do?

Yeah, if you're not using the Page Tab feature, delete that section in the app and hopefully that will get you going.

Thanks,
Alex
