Custom Open Graph Action : Manual vs. On Page Load

Wasn't trying to withhold that nugget from you about the location.href, I just didn't want to get things too confused when there were still issues.

Keep us posted on how it goes, and hope you're not too frustrated. It seems like the light at the end of this tunnel is right up ahead

Thanks,
Alex

Awesome! Very glad to hear that got you going.

So, just to make sure.. where are we at? It sounds like things are working pretty well for you now. With the thread above, it sounds good, but I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything.

Either way, definitely making good progress and I hope you're happy with things.. even if it may have been a bit more difficult than you anticipated. We do appreciate the feedback and hope you're happy with your choice of JFBConnect.

Thanks,
Alex

Lisa,
I just realized that you're looking at the admin area of your site for the Activity Log. Since those actions are published, we don't allow you to delete them. The record of the action must remain in the database so that the user can delete the action from their Timeline. We also don't let you delete it so that you aren't altering (deleting content) from the user's Timeline, that's something they should do.

Once an action has been deleted by the user on the front-end, or the action was never published due to an error, you can delete it from your logs in the admin area. Hopefully, that makes sense. Better description text back there explaining why you can't delete them would probably be nice. I can see that an "Archive" button might be useful to at least hide some actions, if you'd want to, as well.

Home Page Open Graph
Your home page still does have a query string, it's just not necesarily shown in the URL. The same would go for an SEF URL.. there is an underlying query string you can still use. To do so, go to the Menu Manager and click into your home page menu item. There is a parameter for Link, which you can't edit. That will have the query string variables in it. You can click, drag, highlight and copy/paste that to notepad or something and use those values for the custom tag. It would look something like:
index.php?option=com_content&view=featured
From there, you should be able to create the Custom Object as normal.

Facebook Amex Big Break
Congratulations! We saw that contest going on and almost entered, but were pretty sure our work with Facebook would disqualify us. I'm excited to see that we're playing a part in your site, and that award, in the long run. Very well done, and we hope you the best of success. If you have to present to Facebook, feel free to drop our name... a lot

It's exciting to see what you, and a few other venturesome folk, are doing with the Custom Open Graph Actions. We will have easier implementation of those features over the next few months, and really appreciate your feedback so that we can tell where the difficult points are. That's how we improve our extension is by knowing what needs work. We know it makes Open Graph easier, because it'd be very difficult without JFBConnect, but also realize there are some rough edges right now.

Best wishes,
Alex

Lisa,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to this. For the custom tag, I meant when you create a "Custom Object". It sounds like you did that and added the following to the custom params:You're correct, that's wrong. I believe the link you got from your home page menu item was: index.php?option=com_content&view=featured
If so, your custom params should simply be:That's it. Basically, just break the query string URL up into the xxx=yyy and throw them into the parameters. Hope that makes sense, but if not, let us know.

Finally, thanks for your information on the Big Break program. Sounds awesome, and hope you're loving every minute of running the business! Lots of stress, but lots of fun.. for us at least

Best of luck to you, and keep us posted on how things go for you,
Alex
