Installing the Friendica/Facebook connector
|
|
|
|
1. Visit https://developers.facebook.com/apps to register an app.
|
|
a) Click "Create a new app"
|
|
b) We'd be very happy if you include "Friendica" in the application name
|
|
to increase name recognition.
|
|
c) Edit your app settings on the setup page. The Friendica icons are present
|
|
in the images directory and may be uploaded as a Facebook app icon. Use
|
|
images/friendica-16.jpg for the Icon and images/Friendica-128.jpg for the logo.
|
|
d) In the App Display name enter the name of your app (this should default to the
|
|
name you chose in part a).
|
|
e) Enter YourDomain.com in the App Domain field and hit return.
|
|
f) In "Select how your app connects with Facebook select "Website" and enter the
|
|
full URL to your Friendica install including HTTPS and a trailing slash.
|
|
|
|
2. Enable the Facebook plugin by clicking on the icon next to it's name on the plugin
|
|
page of your admin panel.
|
|
b) return to the Facebook plugin page in your admin panel, and fill in the App-ID
|
|
and Application Secret settings you got from Facebook.
|
|
c) Click save.
|
|
d) Finally, return to the Facebook settings page, and activate real-time updates.
|
|
|
|
i. If you for any reason prefer to use a configuration file instead of the admin panels,
|
|
Activate the plugin by including it in .htconfig.php, e.g.
|
|
|
|
$a->config['system']['addon'] = 'plugin1,plugin2,facebook';
|
|
|
|
and set the following values:
|
|
$a->config['facebook']['appid'] = 'xxxxxxxxxxx';
|
|
$a->config['facebook']['appsecret'] = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
|
|
|
|
Replace with the settings Facebook gives you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. To use the Facebook plugin, visit the "connector settings" area of your settings
|
|
page. Click "Install Facebook Connector".
|
|
4. This will ask you to login to Facebook and allow the plugin to do it's stuff.
|
|
Allow it to do so.
|
|
5. You're done. To turn it off visit the Plugin Settings page again and
|
|
'Remove Facebook posting'.
|
|
|
|
Vidoes and embeds will not be posted if there is no other content. Links
|
|
and images will be converted to a format suitable for the Facebook API and
|
|
long posts truncated - with a link to view the full post.
|
|
|
|
Facebook contacts will not be able to view private photos, as they are not able to
|
|
authenticate to your site to establish identity. We will address this
|
|
in a future release.
