    Hey,

    I downloaded the plugin, installed and activated it, and…nothing.

    I’m not seeing the editor window. I tried manually adding the ID tag to a page for a Facebook album, and I get nothing but a link to my client’s FB page.

    Your plugin sounds like a good idea, but I gotta be missing something here. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Is the Facebook page really a page?

    This works for pages if you follow the shortcodes. To test it out, go to http://graph.facebook.com/___gallery_id____/photos/ if this displaying something that looks like an error, then it’s actually a facebook profile. (The id, is the first set of numbers in the url bar, when you’re viewing the gallery on facebook).

    The icon should be beside the upload images icons on the edit post pages, above the editor window.

    If you could post the response you get from the above test, that would be awesome.

    I have seen this on one user’s site, where the plugin just didn’t work. I’m not sure why, maybe cURL isn’t running, or maybe the permissions aren’t set right.

    The start of a proper graph response:

    {
   "data": [
      {
         "id": "314595568599196",
         "from": {
            "name": "Aye, Dead On",
            "category": "Movie",
            "id": "164056000319821"
         },
         "picture": "http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/422819_314595568599196_1455797286_s.jpg",
         "source": "http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/422819_314595568599196_1455797286_n.jpg",
         "height": 230,
         "width": 507,
         "images": [
            {
               "height": 929,
               "width": 2048,
               "source": "http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/s2048x2048/422819_314595568599196_1455797286_n.jpg"
            },

    Thanks for the response! I found the icon, right where you said it would be.

    And here’s what cam back using the URL you provided:

    {
   "data": [

   ]
}

    Also, when I tried using the editor popup I entered the FB user ID, and immediately below it saw this –

    What is the page name of the gallery? (Enter it then tab out)

    And below that was a drop-down box which I thought would give me a choice of available galleries. However, the only option in the drop-down was ‘Select a Gallery.’ When I try to hit the ‘insert form’ button I’m prompted to choose a gallery, which I’m unable to do.

    I hope we can get this running. My client is excited to have his gallery included in his site. Thanks again for the assistance.

    This only works for Pages. Unfortunately Facebook has completely different permissions for personal profiles.

    If you message me privately I can check it out for you. I think this might have to be done through FB itself.

    I was afraid that would be the problem. I’ll pitch the client on migrating to a page.

    Thanks again for the assistance. I appreciate it.
