Submitting open graph action

Hi Alex,
Just a quick questions before i submit my og actions! When i clicked on the submit link in facebook, the notice in the text area told me i needed to provide any information they need and gave a example (e.g stage url, username and password). Would the stage url be my website address? And what username and password would they want? My Facebook one i take it!!! Not sure:/
Just a little bit stuck what info i should give them!!!

Thanks neil

]Hi Alex,
Yes i followed your documentation and everything is working as explained in your docs. I've done all the testing and everything seems to be fine. The actions are posting to my activity log and my girlfriends activity log, who i'm using as a test user!

My problem is that when i click on the submit link facebook is asking me for information that is not in your docs.
Here's the exact text from facebook:



Please outline each step a user should take to publish your action. Include any information we need to complete these steps (e.g. staging url, username, password). Here's an example:

1. Go to www.clothingapp.com and sign up with your Facebook account
2. Click on any outfit
3. Click the Comment button
4. Enter your comment
5. Click the Add Comment button. Your comment will post to your ClothingApp account and Facebook timeline.

If you are submitting actions for a native mobile app or a game please upload screenshots with your submission. When submitting app screenshots, please show us the entire in-app user flow including optional action properties and the action published back to timeline."


It's just the part where it says: (e.g. staging url, username, password) I dont see this in your docs. Everything else seems straight forward!

I've also attached you a screen dump of it.

Thanks. Neil

Alex,
thanks for the info. That's got me sorted now. I've submitted my first action, with your help. Thanks:)
I wasn't aware i had to make a test user for my app! I simply made my girlfriends account a test account for the app. Whoops!

Sorry i have another problem now:(
After submitting the action (that when well) it said it would take 3 working days to publish! So i went ahead to the second step of my open graph mission and set up the jomsocial join group action. The action publishes ok to my admin account and my girlfriends test account, but when i try the action on my test user account the action does not post to the test users fb activity log and i get an error in jfb back-end saying:

An active access token must be used to query information about the current user.

Do you have any idea why this is happening? Is it because its not a built in fb action?

Would love to go to the next step, but just a bit worried about this error.

Thanks neil

Thanks Alex,
clearing the browser cache did the trick. The join group action seems to be working fine on all 3 account now:)

I think i remember getting the email address and password of my the user and signing out of my admin account and signing bad into fb with my test users details instead of clicking on the (switch to) link in the test users section.
Maybe a access token has to be brought over from the admin account in order for the action to work. Just a guess!! I'm not a coder or anything:)

Here's a screen shot of the published actions in jfb backend

Really happy thing have gone so well:)

I will now submit my joint group action and then go on to set up upload photo.

I'll let you know how everything goes after facebook get back to me.

Thanks for the first class support

Neil

Mmmm, Ha maybe i was a little hasty saying everything was going well. lol

The action has just been sent back for review!!

It seems like the article i instructed facebook to test the action on is not working correctly. Basically i have 8 categories with at least one article in each cat, i tested 7 categories and left the one category for facebook to test on, Just my look that:). Now i realise i should of tested each and every category with my test users instead of just presuming they would be ok. So i suppose my first question is;

When my test users action is published correctly how do i then delete the action in the jfb activity log? So i can recheck the action a few times? I know the actions can be deleted in the fb activity log, but in the back end of jfb their is only a check box next to actions that have an error.

..........................................................................................................................................................
Ok now i'll go over my Submission review.

Here's what i sent fb in the submission:

This action is implemented using JFBConnect for the Joomla CMS.

1.Log into facebook with my test user account.

2.Go to www.wingchun-kungfu.co.uk and click the login with facebook button on the right hand side of the site.

3.After you've logged in click on the link called articles at the top of the page under the site logo. This will take you to the articles front page!

4.when on the articles front page choose any of the top articles by clicking on the read more link or the article name link. This will take you into the main article!

5.now that you are on the article the action will trigger within 15 seconds!

I have tested this action on my account and 2 test accounts and everything seems to be ok with no errors and the actions are posting to the users activity log.
Thanks neil

Also sent them screenshots..
Is this information ok???
........................................................................................................................................................
And here's what i got back
Approval Status:
Changes needed
Please make the changes below and resubmit for review.
We are unable to test this action according to the usage instructions provided. Please test your action with the test user created during the submission process called Open Graph Test User. Do not submit for approval unless you have been able to consistently publish actions to the timeline of this test user with the reproduction steps provided. developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/authentication/

What do fb mean by this: (Please test your action with the test user created during the submission process called Open Graph Test User.) Do they mean the one(s) i created in my developers role section???

Ok so after getting back the review i went back over all you docs and rechecked everything. Here's what i found!

When i ran autotune again i noticed that i had this error warning!
Test: Facebook Javascript library inclusion
Warn: Another Facebook extension is installed, including the Facebook Javascript library, and may conflict.

How would i find out where the other javascript library is coming from and is it a problem?

...........................................................................................................................................................

I tested the read action myself that i had given them and yep the action failed and a error turned up in the back end of jfb. Its just one category with 2 articles in that i'm having problems with.

Screen shot of jfb errors

...........................................................................................................................................................

Also when i when to the article page i noticed a bit of stray code out of place or not being rendered and a twitter button that looks lost:) (top of page)
Here's a screen shot

Could this be my problem?

Sorry about the long post Alex.

And thanks for any help in advance:) Neil

Thanks Alex,
Changing the settings in the configuration tab to (strip tags from head), worked a treat:) The 2 pages in question now have no error when testing!! and the weird tag has gone!
I still cannot find the conflict with the JavaScript library. I had 2 modules from itp share and have disabled them both, but still get the error in jfb back end!!

All READ actions are now publishing correctly to all test users accounts.

But before i submit the action do you think the library issue will be a problem? Also when i do the debug i get 2 errors back from the scrap.

Message from scrape
Like Button Warnings That Should Be Fixed
Like Button Tag Missing
og:image is missing. The og:image meta tag is necessary for Facebook to render a News Feed story that generates a high click-through rate.

Open Graph Warnings That Should Be Fixed
Meta with name instead of property
The meta tag on the page was specified with name 'author', which matches a configured property of this object type. It will be ignored unless specified with the meta property attribute instead of the meta name attribute.

Although all actions are publishing correctly do you think the couple of warnings will be a problem when facebook come to test my action.

Gonna do lots more testing while you get back to me!

I'm close i can feel it! Just no fat cigar yet:)

Thanks
Neil
