[Plugin: Simple Facebook Connect] Trunk – some problems

1. xid doesn’t work anymore anyway. I thought I’d removed it, but I guess not. Well, I did now. ??

2. Did you try resaving? Failing that, regrant the permissions. To do this, go to your facebook settings here and remove the app, then go back to that page to grant the permissions: https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=applications

3. No trick to it. Just put in the CSS you want to put in for the fan box to use. You won’t see the CSS on your page, because it’s loaded by the iframe that Facebook creates.

Thanks! Working now.

I’m trying one other thing: I want to add a customfield value when autoposting. Can’t figure out how to call this data and send it with the autopost function.

I tried this:

$attachment['link'] = get_post_meta($post->ID,'event_link1',false);

But I guess this can’t be called upon posting.

Any insights?

Any thoughts on this isue (sending customfield on autopost)? Can’t find solution to this in codex or other posts.

I don’t think you can just invent fields like “link” on the fly. Those attachments have a defined structure:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/attachments

true, bad example. I was actually trying to auto add an event to facebook, not using stream. I need a customfield to populate the ‘start_time’. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/event

This snippet https://pastebin.com/TFaWR3HY already adds an event, but with a hardcoded start_date. I can’t add the event time from custom fields (I try this in the snippet with ‘end_time’. This isn’t send to facebook).

I dunno. Your code looks fine to me, assuming the content of your _eventtime field is right. There’s no trick to it.

I would make sure your string is being built correctly. Maybe var_dump your attachment, see if anything is obviously wrong there.

Other than that, no idea.

got it working now! Made a stupid mistake: I was using custom meta-boxes for the date in this theme -> I needed to send those metabox post fields to facebook.

Did it like this:
$attachment['start_time'] = $_POST['_year'].'-'.$_POST['_month'].'-'.$_POST['_day'].'T'.$_POST['_hour'].':'.$_POST['_minute'].':00+0000';

Thanks for helping.
Would you like a write-up when I finish this event function, maybe as a starting point to add event functionality to the plugin somewhere down the road, or is this out of the scope of your plugin?
