Hello,

I want to change the fb meta tag in my own component to post open graph actions

it is always set as an 'article' in the source


it has to be 'table'



I can change this by javascript but it has to be done in php I suppose :)



can anyone help me with this issue?



thanks

Yes, it would have to be done in PHP as Facebook's crawler doesn't execute Javascript and wouldn't see those modifications.



What you should do is:

* Install the Open Graph - Custom plugin

* Enable it in the Plugin manager

* Go to the Open Graph -> Objects area of JFBConnect

* Click "New", then click "Custom Object Type"

* Set the name to whatever you want

* Set the Object Type to whatever you want it to be

* Then, in the right for URL Query Parameters, simply put something like:
option=com_yourcomponent

view=blahblah
You can just set the option, or you can be as specific as you want by adding more parameters for each line.



Hope that helps get you going, but if you have more questions, just let us know.



Thanks,

Alex

Okay My Read actions are being published on facebook but my other action 'reserve' is not being published because I want this to be published when a custom component is accessed and a button is clicked. I have set up a new custom object



with url query parameters like this



option=com_mycomponent

view=reservation

layout=complete





and open graph tags like this



type=randomrandom:table





in the activity log



(#3502) Object at URL *****?view=reservation&layout=complete has og:type of 'place'. The property 'table' requires an object of og:type 'randomrandom:table'. (http response code: 206)

Use the 
Facebook URL Debug Tool
to check the page that isn't posting properly and see what data Facebook sees. It should tell you if there are multiple 'type' properties defined or if there is only one, and it's defined as 'place' instead of 'table', which you want.



From that, we should know how to proceed a little better. You may also want to disable any other 'objects' you have defined in JFBConnect to make sure they aren't accidentally being used for the page you want.



Let us know how that goes,

Alex

Hi thanks



I have changed some strategies :)



I have created an article 'A table' and put some text in it



Created a custom object in backend with these options

option=com_content

view=article

id=12



and opengraph

myown:table



And in my own component I have added a button with the javascript code - which I found in other threads - with the url pointing to this article.

got the ID of my action and the code looks like this


a class="btn btn-large" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="jfbc.opengraph.triggerAction('1','http://www.example.com/table/');">
Click here to post the action to FB!
/a




for those who have problems with this code, you haven't probably enabled mootools, just put this above your code/template
JHtml::_('behavior.keepalive');






now when someone clicks on this button, it fires an action to Fb, thats great!



My question is How can I show this button to only Facebook users? is there a method or variable?



i can check a user if he is guest or not like this


if ($this->user->get('guest')):
	// The user is not logged in.

else:
	// The user is already logged in.
	
endif;



Im using joomla 3.0 and I have set Error Reporting to 'Development', so I see every little warning, and it gives me this warning


Strict Standards: Declaration of JFBConnectControllerOpenGraph::display() should be compatible with JControllerLegacy::display($cachable = false, $urlparams = Array) in /home/restoWeb/www/components/com_jfbconnect/controllers/opengraph.php on line 13


Okay I can hide this one, thats no problem :)





thanks alot

Glad to hear you're making progress and getting your Custom Actions going.



To check if the user is logged in through Facebook, you can use the following code:
$jfbcLibrary = JFBConnectFacebookLibrary::getInstance();
if ($jfbcLibrary->userIsConnected() )
{
  // Do something here
}
We're always looking for strict errors we have missed. We'll look into fixing that one in the next release, but it's something that can be safely hidden.



Hope that helps,

Alex

everything works fine now, but what does the error 'action not ready for this user' mean?



and how can I delete this css file

/components/com_jfbconnect/assets/jfbconnect.css



where is it being imported in the dom?

I couldn't find it

The "Action not ready for this user" means that the action is being triggered too frequently. So, if you've configured the action to only occur once every day, for instance, and the user has already triggered that action, if the user tries to trigger the same action later that day, they'd see that message. Hope that explains, but if you need more information, let me know.



As for the jfbconnect.css file, that's only included in the /components/com_jfbconnect/views/opengraph/view.html.php file. It should only be included on our pages listing the user's actions in JFBConnect.



Best of luck,

Alex

system/jfbcsystem/jfbcsystem.php



on line 449



I am using less css to generate my css files, thats why I needed to remove it

I'll have to look, I didn't realize it was in that file as well. Glad you got it going though. Should you need anything else, just let us know.



Thanks!
