SA Facebook Integration

[Texan78]

I have to switch to my personal page too to get access to all Facebook functions

That is correct, same for me too. I can only use FB on my forum as me, not as my fan page.

The strange thing is that it stops publishing after a while or when I log out for a while. Even then the publisher should continue publishing, me logged in or not...

I never log out, but yes you would think it would keep publishing.

Have you tested by not ever logging out? It appears from what I can gather that it works when you are logged in, but it doesn't when you are logged out.

Simply, the best mod!

SA, Is the additional information really needed? If I remove it will it cause any problems? I found the code for it, is all I need to remove is those input fields and the CSS enclosing the information?

-Thanks

just disable it in fb admin no need to remove things

[Texan78]

Thank you SA, I wasn't aware of that setting.

Disabled it, and all is gravy!

-Thanks!

Another small issue I have come across. I have it set up to send the PM to the member upon registration, that works great.

Problem is when it sends it from the Administrator it sends it as a Guest. That is a problem because only the Administrator can use the  bbc tag to parse the html in the message from the language file.

So is there a way to add to the code to send it from the registered Active Administrator?

Code Select Expand


      //Set up the pm
    $title = 'Facebook Forum Password'; //the title of the pm
    $message = sprintf($txt['fb_password_welcome'], $password); //the body of the pm
   
    $pmfrom = array(
        'id' => 0, //user id where the pm is from
        'name' => 'Administrator', //name of the user who the pm is from
        'username' => 'Administrator', //username of the user who the pm is from
    );
       
    $pmto = array(
        'to' => array($memberID),// array of ids to send the pm to
        'bcc' => array()//bbc array
    );

    //Now send it
    sendpm($pmto, $title, $message , 0, $pmfrom);

updateMemberData($memberID,
        array(
    'fbname' => $fb_object->user_info_fbname,
        'fbid' => $fb_object->user_info_fbid,
    )
    );


-Thanks

in the code theres

'id' => 0, //user id where the pm is from

just change the id to a registerd member

[Texan78]

Wow, I missed the obvious on that one! LoL

Thank you SA, you are they man!

Sure would love to hire you to help me sort some other small issues unrelated to this mod if you're interested. I am sure it would take you mins to fix them.

-Thanks

shoot me a pm if you want

Ok I have been doing some testing with this QuickReply for members who have registered with FB.

I have removed the social buttons from the page (I.E. Google +1, Twitter, Facebook). Quick reply still doesn't show for FB members logged in. For normal registered members it shows no problem.

Uninstalled the WYSIWYG QuickReply Mod below...

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=251436.msg3378774#msg3378774

And then installed this one. Which I like much better anyways. Thinking maybe it was just that mod above that was causing the issue as suggested above.

http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=3246

QuickReply still doesn't show for registered FB members.

Thinking maybe this could be a permissions issue with how FB members are registered with the forum? Just taking a guess since members who registered normally can see the QR with no problem.

Any suggestions or ideas?

-Thanks

Ok I got this sorted. This should work for the other QuickReply mod too but not sure. I do know it works with this one....

To get your QuickReply to show for Facebook register members do this.

Go to your Admin CP > Configuration > Themes and Layout > Member Options > "YOUR THEME" > "Change current options for all members using this theme".

On that page find "Use quick reply on topic display" select Change then Show, On by default. Click save and test.

This worked for me

Texan78,

Good, I re-entered all my details in the admin panel, saved it again, did the permission thing again, and never log out, not even when I shut down the computer. For now, the publisher is working for a few days without any problems. It doesn't help me to locate the problem, because it works, lol. Sometimes I use my PC and my notebook at the same time and i am logged on Facebook and my forum on both. Could that be a problem?
Anyway, still testing and I keep you posted on this.

Another question, more CSS I think.
When I want to use post button which appears on top in a forum post, placement is not good - see image. I think it has something to do with CSS. Any tips to solve this and get this button placed as the others?

Tx!

To be honest, I am not really sure what exactly the cause is except for maybe being logged in and using your FB as your fan page and not your personal page. If you are using FB as your fan page your forum should tell you to switch back to use the social plugins. I wouldn't think being on two different computers would cause any problems, but you never know. I think it just may be because FB is logged out.

Yes that looks like a CSS issue. The containing div looks like it may not be wide enough. Locate that div and play with the width of it. If you use Firefox and have the Web Developer Add on. It is really could for finding which is in what div to look at.

Can somebody tell me how to remove the dropdown option on the menu bar?

Is that in your Admin CP?

What theme is that?

Edit: I just saw you're the same person who posted the relative date mod. Can you help me all any? I would like to enable day, month, and year support as well. I went ahead and posted a reply on the official topic a couple of days ago. Also, any way to show "just now" instead of "in 0 seconds"? Sorry. I know this isn't the right place, but I'm really hesitant.

That's not my mod, I don't have any mods.

Back to your OP. Is this dropping down from your admin link from the menu?

Yeah it's dropping down from the admin link on the menu. It's kinda annoying really.

Ok try this, find this.... In Sources > Facebook > FacebookAdmin.php it will be at the bottom

Find

Code Select Expand

$context['settings_title'] = $fb_hook_object->txt['fb_main1'];

Replace With

Code Select Expand

//$context['settings_title'] = $fb_hook_object->txt['fb_main1'];

See if that works for you.

Do you know which file is responsible for the button(s) in the post area?

Publisher still working, yipppieeeeeeee
