The 'Object Type' field in the JFBC object will need to be filled in with one of the built-in Facebook object types, such as article, and have the 'Built-in Facebook Object' setting enabled. As of 2.8, FB does not allow the creation of a new custom Open Graph action or type. (See the Graph API changelog here ).

The URL Query Parameters would be something like the following, 1 per line:
option=com_content
view=article

The Open Graph tags would be any tags you want to set like description, image, etc - 1 per line:
description=Test Custom Description
image=http://YOUR_WEBSITE/images/sampledata/fruitshop/apple.jpg

To set up the Autoposting, you'll need to set up a channel and select the Autopost object to be the custom object you just created. I'd suggest following the Quick Start Guide for the "Post Content to Social Networks" section to get started on auto-posting.

Hello Melissa

Thank you for response, but i do not quite get what you mean..

I added EasySocial and Easyblog to the channels, it s clear on new element from these systems I will get update in social.

I do not have Joomla Article (not using this)

There is another option your component offers - > custom objects - > prntscr.com/g5o6yc

My question is - How to configure these?

There are 2 params which are configurable - >

1) URL Query Parameters ( You said -option=com_content view=article.. but it is applicable only for Joomla Articles, which you have inbuilt already.. ) , if you can give me an example of non-standard component like quick2cart which i have or any other, much appreciated!
2) Tags, - > do not get your example.. should it be in tag form like, - . "Car,,ship,transportation.." or smth else??

My initial will is to configure them for products which get published via online e commerce component. If you can suggest how to do it, it would be great!

Thank you!
Alexander

Alexander,
The opengraph plugins that come with JFBConnect can allow you to autopost specific content from those extensions when they are created. However, if you're using an extension that we don't have a Open Graph plugin for yet, you'll need to post that content manually using the social toolbar at the bottom of every page with the "Create Post" button.

The steps Melissa gave above are for setting up the open graph tags so that each ecommerce page has the Open Graph type or other details you may want set when it's shared. However, there isn't a way in JFBConnect to have content automatically shared if it's not in an extension that we have an Open Graph plugin for (or if your extension doesn't provide an open graph plugin for JFBConnect).

Ultimately, I'd suggest trying the "Create Post" button to see if the content is shared correctly to your Facebook Page, Group or Profile. If the share doesn't look right (wrong title, image, type, etc), then you can use the Open Graph - Custom plugin to setup special open graph tags for each of the ecommerce items you have. There likely isn't a way to have it auto-post though since I'm assuming your ecommerce extension doesn't have specific open graph support for JFBConnect.

I hope that helps explain,
Alex

Thank you, Alex, I still in the process of understanding, not quite clear for me..

So I tried to create standard action on Easyblog comment action (inbuilt plugin)
I got hte following error message - prntscr.com/g71vno

While facebook is properly set up and Iam able (other users too) to login with facebook. Not sure why is it asking for autotune???
Also There are 3 only social networks for channels set up, fb, twitter and linkedin, is it possible to add vk, as that majority of my users are loging in with vk?

That error means you need to go to the Autotune configuration area in JFBConnect. In the FB App section, hit the "Refresh" button so that JFBConnect fetches all the data it needs to know about your FB application in order for Open Graph tags to function properly. Then, you should be able to setup the Action properly.

We don't currently support VK. I'm unsure what sort of channels they expose by their API. Can you let me know more about what kinds of actions you'd want posted and an example page from VK that they'd go to? It's something we can investigate, but I can't give any estimate on when it may be implemented.

Thanks,
Alex

You have entered the User ID instead of the subscription ID. To get your correct subscription ID, log in here on sourcecoast.com and navigate to My Account > My Profile. The subscription ID is on the righthand side of the page.

Alex, regarding your question -

The same as facebook, as it is identical to facebook.
The same type of actions (I Am not too robust in sourcecoast)

For example what is the object type, its category, what is facebook inbuilt object?
