Pre-sale questions

That message means that the user you selected has not authenticated again on the front-end and granted the 'manage_pages' permission. When the user re-authenticates, JFBConnect will automatically ask for that permission after you setup the channel for that user.

Once that permission is granted, JFBConnect will be able to fetch the names of all the Pages the user manages so that you can properly select the right one.

I hope that helps,

I'm not sure why it wouldn't. I'd try:
1) Deleting the channel you created
2) Re-creating the channel
2a) When you recreate it, select the same user that you already had authenticate on the front-end using Facebook
3) If the error about requiring that permission appears again, re-authenticate on the front-end again one more time.

We had one other user who created a channel and the permission wasn't asked. After starting over (which is pretty quick), it worked the second time. We're not sure why that's required, but are looking into it.

Please let me know how that goes.

Thanks,
Alex

Are you sure that user is the administrator of any Facebook Pages? From what you show, JFBConnect isn't able to read any information about Pages that user owns.

When logged into Facebook, if you click the down arrow in the top right, is there a section for "Use Facebook as". Thats the section that lets you choose pages that the user is the administrator of. If that section isn't showing, it means that user is not the admin of any Pages.

That's my only guess as that's the only time we've seen nothing listed there.

Thanks,

The Channels feature has built-in caching, otherwise, there would have to be a request going to Facebook (and other streams you've configured) for every page load of your site.. which would really slow things down. You can control the caching time in the JFBConnect -> Configuration area.

As for posting photos, right now, JFBConnect only supports pushing a status update along with the URL. JFBConnect will set the Open Graph tags for your pages, which should include an og:image tag, setting the image to use in any previews for that page. We don't have support for uploading a photo to Facebook right now, as the recommended way is to share your page which already has the image.

I hope that helps explain, but if you have any other questions, just let me know.

Thanks,
Alex
