Embed Facebook BBCode

[Paracelsus]

Hi dougiefresh,

Your MOD works really well.  The only thing I noticed so far is the fact that embedded posts don't seem to scale/work responsive. Videos scale nicely, but not posts. According to facebook, "On mobile web, Embedded Posts automatically scale to the width of the container." (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/embedded-posts) but it doesn't seem to work on mine.

I'll work on this request.  I've got to perform some magic mumbo-jumbo in order to get everything to work properly, though....

Uploaded v3.4 - September 26th, 2016
o Altered code to make regular and permalink post URLs responsive.
o Altered code to make video URLs responsive using Facebook code.
o Fixed regex pattern to accept photo.php URLs without the theater param.
o Removed BBCode-Facebook2.css from the mod, since it was unused.

The only thing I noticed so far is the fact that embedded posts don't seem to scale/work responsive.

Thank you for the bug report!  I'm pretty sure I've fixed it with this version....

I don't believe either mod changed anything other than the Subs-BBCode-Facebook.php file (and Subs-BBCode-Instagram.php for the Embed Instagram BBCode mod).  So you should be able to upgrade simply by replacing the old file with the new.....

Do you know why I'm getting [ Invalid Facebook URL ] ?

Thanks 

[dougiefresh]

Do you know why I'm getting [ Invalid Facebook URL ] ?

Probably because there are other possiblities that the mod doesn't recognize as valid.  I can't fix the mod without more information, such as the URL you are trying to use.....

[Tiribulus]

Sorry man. I guess the address would have been good huh?

Yeah.  The URL is helpful....  The reason that the mod is giving you that response is that the URL is pointing to your Facebook page, not a specific post.  You need to specify a Facebook post.  The easiest method of getting a post URL from Facebook is right-clicking on the time underneath the Facebook name (in this case: Grayson Gilbert), then paste it where you want it in your post.

Oh, it has to be a post. I didn't realize that. Sorry and thanks

I'll give it a try

This mod is not displaying on my forum. it only gives blank page

would it be possible to embed events pages?

I'm not sure if Facebook offers the ability to do that mind?

here's an event page to see if it does?

https://www.facebook.com/events/443557269360601/

[dougiefresh]

would it be possible to embed events pages?

I modified the code to attempt to do so, and got the result shown in the attachment....

So, I did more digging on the internet.  I found this on How to Embed Facebook Events on a Site website:

The event page can't be embedded, but a post about the event can. If you can't easily find a post about the event you can create one. From the event page, copy the URL from your browser's address bar. Browse to the public page on Facebook to which you want to post the event. In the status box, type something about the event, and then paste in the URL of the event. Wait for Facebook to recognize the URL and generate a preview. After that you can delete the URL from the text of the post, if you wish, and the link will remain.

Hope this helps....

Thanks for this great mod. Just installed and really like it much.

But just noticed that following facebook link gives " Invalid Facebook URL" error. Could you please check it and make it to work if possible ?

What a great and fast support  It is working perfect now.

One more item I want to share.

Sometimes without writing any extra comments, we only want to share the Facebook link. But in that case, I get a warning that the message is empty.

Is it possible to fix this warning ? For example we can share a YouTube video or a picture link without writing an extra word.

Again many thanks for your great interest.
