Problems with Facebook app connection

David,
JFBConnect can post to Facebook or Twitter in a 2 ways: automatically or manually.

The manual way is to use the social toolbar, which you asked how to disable a few posts up. When enabled, an admin for your site (ie, you) can use the 'Create Post' button on any page of your site. In the popup that appears, type a message that goes along with the post, select the Channels (your Twitter streams and Facebook Pages) to post to and click "Post". That should send them to your channels. The benefit with manual is that it should work right now and works with all extensions since you go to whatever URL on your site you want to post from, regardless of component for that page.

The automatic method requires you to enable the Open Graph plugin for the extension you want to post from. JFBConnect comes with a few, but my guess is you want to publish the Open Graph - Content plugin. Then, in each channel's settings, select the "All objects (articles) from Joomla Content" in the Autopost Plugins setting. That will configure JFBConnect to automatically post and new Joomla articles you create whenever they are published.

There is also a way to control autoposting so it only posts from certain categories. If you'd like to set that up, let us know and we can help with that.

I hope the above helps get you going, but if not, let us know and we'll gladly help however we can.

Thanks,
Alex

If you set up an Object in the JFBConnect backend > Social Meta area, you can direct it to only apply to certain categories. Then in the channel edit area (in the backend), select that object for the "Autopost Objects" setting.

Yes, when the article is published, that is when the autoposting will occur. If you check out this documentation , it explicitly states the times when the auto-post will occur.

Do you still have anything set in the "Autopost Plugins" setting? Can you un-select that and just use the "Autopost Object" setting?

I've made a minor change to the article and resaved it. But it still doesn't show. although it shows now in the Stream Test

The posts in the stream test show what we've pulled from Facebook. When you say that "it still doesn't show", do you mean the article is not showing in A) Facebook or your Social Stream module on your Joomla webpage?

If A - Go into the JFBConnect backend > Channels > History tab and see if there are any errors
If B - Turn JFBConnect backend > Configuration > General > Cache Duration to 0 to force JFBConnect to fetch new posts. If it's like 15, that means JFBConnect will only fetch new posts every 15 minutes and cache them to save on page load times.

We're close, I can feel it! It's good Twitter is working, though we're unsure what's up with Facebook.

Can you Private Message us super admin credentials for your site so we can investigate a little more? Additionally, please send us a link to the Facebook Page that you're posting to so we can see what's showing up there.

Thanks,
Alex
