Facebook Posting on Wall

Did you fully setup the Channel in the JFBConnect configuration area and select the proper Facebook Page to post to? If so, when you create a post, what message is displayed after you click the "Post" button: a Success or Fail message?

Not sure what could be going wrong, but any info on the setup or what's happening when you try will help.

Thanks,

I do not want to post on a page, but the user should be able to automatically post in his stream.

Posting in a user's stream is done with Open Graph Actions, not with the Channels feature. Channels are for admins to push content to their own promotional pages, like Facebook Pages, Twitter Streams, or LinkedIn Company Pages that you own.

With Open Graph Actions, an 'action' can be posted automatically or manually to a user's Activity Log. Automatic actions, like "I read an article" have much less weight since it's automatic, while if you choose to create a button that the user explicitly clicks, like "I cooked a recipe", it will show more prominently in their Timeline.

So, with that said, you shouldn't be asking for the manage_pages permission since it sounds like you want to post in the user's own timeline, not a specific Facebook Page, correct?

If that's the case, can you explain a little more about the other site you have working and what it's actually doing? I'm a bit confused if you're using Channels on the other site to post into a user's own Timeline, which isn't what they are meant to do...

If the error in using the https protocol are?

Your site does not require an SSL certificate in order to post content back to Facebook.

Thanks,

It sounds like you want any posts that user's make in the JomSocial activity stream to also go to their Facebook stream. Is that correct?

If so, please make sure you have enabled the "Push status to Social Networks" setting in the JFBConnect -> Profiles -> JomSocial tab. That setting is what instructs JFBConnect to post activity updates to Facebook.

Beyond that, please note that JFBConnect will only push "Public" status updates to Facebook. If the status update is marked as anything but Public, JFBConnect will not push it to the users Timeline.

Please let us know if that helps narrow things down some more and sounds like what you're looking for.
