Issue With Posting To Facebook From JomSocial

Currently, JFBConnect will only push status updates that meet the following requirements:
* The user has authenticated with Facebook
* They granted the "publish_actions" permission so that your site can post to their timeline for them
* The JomSocial post is a text post
* The privacy for the post is public and does not have any privacy restrictions

Let me know if that helps narrow things down. If you think posts that meet the above should be posted, but aren't, just let us know and we'll gladly investigate further.

Thanks,

The permissions I was talking about were when you create the post in JomSocial. There's a way to set the update to "Public" vs "Private", and it needs to be Public for JFBConnect to try and post it.

As for testing, I just tried to register on your site using Facebook. I was properly brought to the JFBConnect registration page to fill out additional profile information. After I clicked "Register" on that page, I saw a blank white page.. which means there was a PHP error. Are you seeing that issue if you try to register a new user? If so, please set Error Reporting to 'Maximum' in the Global Configuration area and let us know any error messages that show on that blank page, which will help narrow down the issue.

Most of those PHP warnings aren't from JFBConnect (at least not directly). Most warnings reference com_jeemasms, which I'm not sure what that is. None of those messages are fatal errors though, and shouldn't be preventing JFBConnect from importing user information.

The 'blue box' messages at the top seem to be from the User - Profile plugin, which is a basic profile add-on that comes with Joomla. If you're using JomSocial, you likely don't need that plugin enabled. I'd recommend disabling that and the Social Profiles - Joomla plugin, which is JFBConnect's integration for that User - Profile plugin.

So, with all that said, my guess (though I can't tell for sure) is that if you scrolled down on that page, you'd see the form-based registration flow of JFBConnect. If you see that, it would likely work to let you register the user. That form is just pushed way down because of the other messages shown above it.

If you're not interested in the form-based registration and you want to enable automatic registration, you can do that with the "Enable Automatic Registration" setting in the JFBConnect -> Configuration area.

I hope that helps explain some things and gets you some forward progress. If you have any questions or issues though, just let us know!

Sorry for the issues you were running into. We think we just narrowed down the posting back to Facebook issue. You can read the issue, and the code change required in this forum post .

Please try the suggestion there and let us know how that goes. This update will be in the next release of JFBConnect, but we'd love to have your feedback on if it fixes your problem as well.

Thanks,

Your JomSocial version shouldn't have anything to do with it. The code above simply updates our posting logic to work for JomSocial 3.2. It's possible that change was necessary for JomSocial 3.1 as well, but we're still investigating that.

The code change, however, leaves older compatibility going back to JomSocial 2.8 intact. So, if you're using 2.8-3.2, you should be good to go.

but it looks like it has stopped posting to facebook completely.

Can you explain this? What posting was working before that isn't working anymore? My understanding from the above was that the status updates created in JomSocial were never being posted to Facebook. Were some getting through? Is there some other posts your talking about that are now not working after the change?

Let me know any more information you can about what is, and isn't, working now, and how that compares to before the change in the other thread.

Also, it never hurts to know... what version of JomSocial and Joomla are you using?

Thanks,
Alex
