  • @lkjs the problem comes from the new format they're using for the code of the plugins now. Instead of that version I'm going to have to update it to something similar to this:

  • I don't understand why they have to make a public warning notice to scare your users. Why can't they just tell you in developers section it is changing and that you need to as well...

    Is there a quick fix that will work losing all the post data? I sure hate to lose it especially since google now can read iframes and indexes the comments.

    What is weirder is that anything with a comment doesn't have this stupid warning. I'm all for progress but not unneeded error messages for users!
  • lkjs email me (contact on my site) I'm gonna send you an updated zenFBComments.php to test with
  • Sent, cheers.
  • Looks bad for the old comments, but new plugin solves error message, at least until Facebook decides to change it again.
  • Yeah, I'm still working on trying to dig up an answer all. Basically, if you used the plugin and used the "migrate" option that Facebook included to transition old comments from the FIRST plugin to the second, you might end up losing comments on upgrade, however upgrading is the only way to get rid of the Warning message. I'm still working on it though, so keep your fingers crossed...
  • Let us pray.
  • Hey micheall,

    I'm unable to get zenFBLike to display on my website. I just tried to send you an email using your form on your website but I'm not sure if you received it (no email was sent to me as a result). My email is chris[at]ckgd.net

    Thanks!
  • Hey Chris, thanks for alerting me that you sent an email, it reminded me to add that account to my email client. I had reformatted and not added it. I have responded so will help you there.

  • As a reference for anyone curious, your themes must have the proper theme_filter hooks for the plug-ins to work as they are called via those hooks.
  • Hey Mike,

    Sorry for bothering you again. A couple of issues I'm having with the plugin. I have the 'Comments' and 'Like' plugins enabled (and common of course).

    1. With the comments, it all seems to be working fine except that the comment doesn't post to Facebook even though the checkbox is ticked.

    2. The Like button is fine however I get this error when it displays on the feed: `: Unterminated comment starting line 103 in /.../.../.../.../.../themes/joshuaink/image.php on line 103 Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /.../.../.../.../.../themes/joshuaink/image.php on line 106`

    The error doesn't appear when I type in a comment in the Like box rather than leave it blank.

    I get the same error as ReeRee on the previous page:
    Object at URL 'http://url.here' of type 'article' is invalid because the given value 'admin' for property 'article:author' could not be parsed as type 'profile'. I made a new user in zenphoto with my Facebook user ID too.

    If you are able to help me and you'd rather email me at the above address, that's fine too.

    Thanks for your time!

    1) I'm not sure about the comments showing up on the feed unfortunately. It's that way on some of my sites and not on others. I think it's a permission issue with Facebook, I'll dig a bit more into that.

    2) Sounds to me like the like button was placed in some code and some stray bits were either left in or added unintentionally when you pasted the zenFBLike stuff in.

    3) To disable the linting error about the article:author bit, open zenFBCommon.php find the following section.
    Look for the lines starting with:
    `
    // Set og:author meta-key
    // Set default author to admin name.
    `
    And delete all the way through (and including) the following line.
    `
    echo '';
    `
    Be sure to leave the rest of the braces etc. Should be lines 140-167 in your file (if you downloaded the zenFBCurrent that's on the site at the moment).
  • Also as a note, I hope to be able to hammer out the rest of the updates on this this weekend, sorry for the delays all.
  • Thanks again Mike, that's made it better!
  • @kocho glad that got worked out. Holler if you need anything else. Oh and I might send you an email for a little help from your end of the spectrum.
  • Hi.

    I have a question. Is there a function for auto publishing news or images to the canvas of a Facebook site?

    I think it's possible but i don't know how to use it. Maybe you can help me to understand how i can fix it.

    Thanks...

    We have an official plugin for Twitter that does that. Micheall may correctly me but I don't think his plugin suite does that.

    I am not use FB but I heard there is a FB app called RSS Graffiti that can just post an RSS feed.
  • Correct, the zenFBSuite doesn't automatically publish to the site. I stayed away from that because I didn't want things to end up getting marked as spam and getting the app blocked initially.

    Things have changed quite a bit since then and people now register their own apps so I might look at adding something like that in.

    It'll be put on the @todo list.
  • Thank you for your answers.

    @ acrylian
    I try RSS Graffiti. Seems to be nice but doesn't work correctly for me till now. Only shows the feeds from last year :(. Don't know why...

    Maybe I try to solve it in another way...

    @ micheall
    Sounds real. Nobody likes spam ;)

    @micheall: I don't think that that is that fast marked as spam. Actually this is what most bigger sites do as surely no one posts the most things manually.
  • Yeah, it wasn't the fast part that I was worried about. It's basically a left-over from the first incarnations of the plugins. The plugins were defaulted as the zenFBSuite app etc, but then as Facebook migrated their platform things changed forcing people to create their own AppID's etc.

    What I was worried about initially was that the zenFBSuite app would end up being marked as spam from other people's app instances causing it (when they were still using the same app ID). Now that it's not a concern anymore I just have to look at implementing the graph api posts.

    I'll use the twitter post as a guide for it and see if I can hack something together for it.
  • acrylian Administrator, Developer
    Ah, thanks, I understand.
  • Just a quick update!

    I've dusted off the code, tested it against 1.4.3, and made some other changes as noted below. So get your updated, more efficient, more compliant zenFBSuite now!

    Also, I've moved servers and dns management, so should hopefully no longer have any server/site access issues.

    Still on my to-do list is the ability to auto-post updates to your wall/app page. It's in the work but still has a ways to go and sadly my time is still fairly limited.
