Sorry you're running into issues with the Channels feature. The problem comes from a change in Facebook's API that occurred on May 1st. The current release of JFBConnect doesn't fully support the change yet for apps created after that date that are also using the Channels feature to post.
To fix it now, please open the /components/com_jfbconnect/libraries/provider/facebook.php file. Around line 295, you'll see the following block of code:
public function getUserScope($uid)
{
// get current scope for the user
$return = array();
$params['access_token'] = JFBCFactory::usermap()->getUserAccessToken($uid, 'facebook');
$currentScope = $this->api('/' . $uid . '/permissions', $params, true, 'GET');
if (isset($currentScope['data']) && isset($currentScope['data'][0]))
{
$currentScope = $currentScope['data'][0];
foreach ($currentScope as $scope => $val)
{
if ($val == 1)
$return[] = $scope;
}
}
return $return;
}Replace that whole function with the below, which will properly detect the user's granted permissions using the older Facebook methods or the newer ones implemented in new Applications after May 1st:
public function getUserScope($uid)
{
// get current scope for the user
$return = array();
$params['access_token'] = JFBCFactory::usermap()->getUserAccessToken($uid, 'facebook');
$currentScope = $this->api('/' . $uid . '/permissions', $params, true, 'GET');
if (isset($currentScope['data']) && isset($currentScope['data'][0]))
{
foreach ($currentScope['data'] as $scope)
{
// Check for v2.0 of Graph API
if (array_key_exists('permission', $scope))
{
if ($scope['status'] == 'granted')
$return[] = $scope['permission'];
}
else
{
foreach ($scope as $permission => $val)
{
if ($val == 1)
$return[] = $permission;
}
}
}
}
return $return;
}That change will definitely be in the next release of JFBConnect, so you won't have to make this change again in the future.
Please let me know how that goes, and best of luck,
Alex
