Topic-icon Submitting Action to Facebook to be approved

Active Subscriptions:

None
Hello Alex. I got the load time down to around 2.5 seconds and now I am ready to submit the "Recommend" button for approval, I am just not exactly sure what I have to do at this point and your instructions seem a little fuzzy and Facebook isn't very clear either.
see: "Need all JavaScript and Images to be local" for some history on this issue.

As I said I have tested the "Recommend" button and it performs as expected and the results post to the test account I set up on Facebook. I just need to submit it for approval now, and I don't see a straight forward way to do that.

Did you create a custom Recommend button, or are you using the standard Facebook Like button configured to show the text "Recommend"? Any information about what you've setup and what you've configured will be helpful.

If you're doing an Open Graph Action, you shouldn't be creating your own action of type "Recommend". You should instead be creating an action in JFBConnect of a 'built-in Facebook Action' type of 'og.likes'. That button would be the same as clicking the Like (or Recommend) button that is standard across Facebook.

I hope that helps, but if not, let me know more and I'll help however I can.

Thanks,
Alex

In Facebook -> OpenGraph -> Stories, I created a Story called, "Recommend an Article", and assigned it an Action Type of "Recommend," and an Object Type of "Article." In Facebook -> OpenGraph -> Actions, I created an action called, "Recommend." In Facebook -> OpenGraph -> Objects, I modified the Object Type "Article,"

In Facerbook -> Status and Review, I have an app called "9/11 Truth Outreach on the Move," I set "Do you want to make this app and all its live features available to the general public?" to "Yes." There is an information box below that question that reads, "Continue your submission," and below that there is an instruction. "To continue with your submission please visit Items in Review." When I click on Items in Review a page opens that has two columns, "items" and "Add Items to this submission." I added "Recommend-Recommend an Article" to the list of items for the submission. I uploaded all the screenshots for the "Recommend" button on the website, starting with the page that has the "Recommend" button, to the popup that opens asking for comments and to confirm, to the post that appears on the Facebook page for the test user.


The problem is that "Facebook Login Integration" is filled in, "Test User" is filled in, "Page for Testing" says "no available pages" "Create a New Page?" I don't understand what they are asking for here. Screen shots are filled in including a screenshot of the JFBConnect "Overview Panel."

I can't continue the review process until the "Page for Testing" tab is filled in on Facebook.

Our Facebook page is "www.facebook.com/911truthoutreach.org"

In Joomla -> JFBConnect -> OpenGraph -> Actions, I have "Recommend," Which has an "Object Association" of "Article", which is a "K2" "item." In Joomla -> JFB Connect -> OpenGraph -> Objects I have "Article" defined which is a "K2 extension" with "Layout," "Item" and "Object Type" "article," which is a default object type.

Is there something I have done the wrong way here?

If you're not using the Page Tab feature of JFBConnect, please go into Autotune and delete the Page Tab URL and Secure Page Tab URLs. Then, it won't ask for your Page in the submission process.

With that said though, you shouldn't be creating a custom Like (or Recommend) action. Facebook will deny it. Instead, in JFBConnect create a new (or update your existing) action as:
Type: og.likes
Built-in Facebook Action: Yes

For more information on the og.likes action, see:
developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/o...action-type/og.likes

I hope that helps,
Alex

OK, thanks Alex.

But I have the Social Media Plugin displaying at the bottom of the articles, I did this because I wanted to convey a slightly different meaning that like, which was Recommend. And the behavior of Recommend is slightly different than like. I can modify the standard Like to convey this slightly different meaning and display the content in a slightly more novel way?

Actually, I may have mis-spoke. I found a much better article describing the og.likes button:
developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/guides/og.likes

That button still needs to be submitted for approval and is meant to be used if you already have 'like' buttons on your site, like in an extension. That like button could also push to Facebook.

With that said, I think you could create your own custom action button for "recommend" if you wanted to.

I'm not sure what the Social Media Plugin is, so I can't really speak to that. I would point out that the Facebook Like button can be configured to show the text "Recommend" instead of "Like", if you'd like to do that. That may be beneficial as it will be a Facebook branded button which is what you may be looking for anyways.

Thanks,
Alex

I meant whatever plugin goes with "scsocialbuttons"

Also, should I delete the entry made in "Page Tab Default Name" as well?

I can't get rid of the Page Tab data either in JFBConnect or on developer.facebook.com

I didn't notice that the domain got changed in JFBConnect -> Autotune -> Facebook App. I had made a duplicate copy of the site on our dev site (I cleared everything on the dev site including database before copying the live site to the dev site) and though I didn't touch anything on JFBConnect, the domain got changed to the dev site sub-domain and all the Facebook entries were updated to reflect that. After I finished updating everything on the dev site I copied the dev site to the live site (I cleared the live site of everything including the database) and made the necessary changes to ,htaccess and configuration.php and thought I was goo to go. Now JFBConnect is complaining that I am not using the JFBConnect Recommendations which suggest the dev site URLs. Must be somewhere I can go to get rid of those dev site suggestions.

In the developer.facebook.com area, to remove it, click the 'x' in the top right corner of that section. It should get rid of all your Page Tab settings without any issues.

Autotune
To make it re-detect the proper settings, click the "Refresh" button in the top menu bar to fetch new recommended settings.

I hope that helps,
Alex

Did as you advised, Got rid of Page Tabs on Facebook, and refreshed in Autotune -> Facebook App, which fixed the URL issues, but under Page Tab, it has the Page Tab URL and Secure Page Tab URL filled in. If I try to removes the Page Tab URLs manually and save, the removal fails. Do I have to wait for a specified interval before JFBConnect can detect that the Page Tab has been removed from Facebook?

I got the App resubmitted to Facebook, but the Autotune -> Facebook App -> Page Tab still has the Page Tab URL and Page Tab Secure URL filled in. No matter what I do the program logic adds the URLs back when I save. I assume that it is checking Facebook. But I have removed the Page Tab from Facebook. Actually if I save in Autotune, the Page Tab gets added back to the Facebook App on Facebook.
