The plugin page for Simple Facebook Connect has moved to here: http://ottopress.com/wordpress.....k-connect/

I’m closing comments on this post. Please take any comments to the new site.

How to implement post thumbnails: http://markjaquith.wordpress.c.....il-images/

Anyone have any suggestions on where to read up on it? I will edit the code if I knew where to start in it… I attempted to write the theme creator but their website is in another language and the “Contact Us” link has a Captcha in another language. So utterly screwed.. haha

I’ve tagged 0.15 to fix the problem.

I’m running into an issue with the SFC – Publish component. When I activate it, the publish box in the Post Edit window displays the following error msg:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function has_post_thumbnail() in [...]/wp-content/plugins/simple-facebook-connect/sfc-publish.php on line 186

This breaks the edit window, which no longer displays the main body of the interface.

I’m running on the latest/greatest WP & SFC.

Any ideas?

It appears that some how my cookie for my website had become corrupted and hung on to my FB session. Since I had not connected my facebook account to my profile it had no way of knowing that I was the same person.

Hope that this helps anyone else that runs into the same problem.

Appreciate you Otto for having this sounding board for users to iron out any wrinkles we run into!!

I edited my comments.php correctly, and the connect button shows in the comment area. When it’s clicked though I just get a popup window that goes to my blog’s home page.

I think it’s worth mentioning that originally when I clicked it the popup said that I had to set up my connect URL, and it’s after I rectified this that this has started to happen.

My blog is: http://blog.richardmilne.net

This is my first time working with XFBML, but I figured my connect URL must be the root to the blog, which contains xd_receiver.htm is this correct?

Hope someone can help!

No plans on making it use first name only, but it’s an easy change if you want to do so. In the sfc-comments.php file, around line 295, you’ll find this line:
$_POST['author'] = $user_details[0]['name'];

Change “name” to “first_name” and you’re done.

However, this is not necessarily a privacy issue. Facebook makes this information available publicly, to anybody, without any form of approval whatsoever: uid, first_name, last_name, name, locale, current_location, affiliations (regional type only), pic_square, profile_url, sex

Source: http://wiki.developers.faceboo.....rs.getInfo

I then over wrote the sfc-publish.php file from your trunk to my plugins folder and was able to publish both to my blog and FB automatically.

Let me know if you need more details.

One other unrelated question since you mentioned privacy… when commenting while connected w/ FB the comments show the commentors full FB name. Any plans to have an option to only show first name, like the fan box does?

thanks,

I removed the change for the privacy thing, to see if that solves the problem. I still cannot replicate the problem myself, but that was the only change I had made in that area, so backing out the change should resolve the issue.

When I use the “Facebook Share” from the “Addtoany” and hit the cancel it does not error out in IE 7. I am not overly concerned as I do not use IE 7.0. Figured it may be a problem with how the plugin references something or a setting I have in the application on FB.

Appreciate the response and your time spent developing the app. It works pretty good. I am currently setting up a instruction post on how to add accounts to my site based on your facebook login.

Bottom line: If it’s something that happens in a popup, Facebook did it.

Still, try this version: http://plugins.svn.wordpress.o.....ublish.php

I removed the privacy setting thing from the publish there. See if that solves it.

Fatal error: Call to protected method FacebookRestClient::get_uid() from context ” in /wp-content/plugins/simple-facebook-connect/sfc-publish.php on line 380

Hope this helps either resolve the bug or post up it is a known bug to prevent others from experiencing the problem.

Temporary workaround: Add this to your theme’s functions.php:
add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’ );

I’ll have a fix in for this issue soon.

Edit: And done. It’s in 0.14. Wait 20 minutes, then download it and the fix will be in there. Also in the Share plugin, which also uses thumbnails.
