[Plugin: Wordbooker] Problem with WPG2 images

So I see two issues:

1. The image URL is reported correctly in the debug section:
http://will.sitch.org/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=2296&g2_serialNumber=2

But the image doesn’t show up in the facebook post.

2. The image tag number IS showing up in the facebook post (the text of which is:
test1 3975 test2

In wordbooker.php, it looks like one possibility could be the json_encode of the $attachment block:

$result = $fbclient->stream_publish($message,json_encode($attachment), json_encode($action_links));
wordbooker_debugger("Publish to Personal wall result : ",$result,$post->ID) ;

I get the result:

2010-10-11 13:53:51 Publish to Personal wall result : ( 543335236_10150269320925237 )

Does the json_encode allow URLs with embedded variables? It should. I dunno, I’m grasping at straws here.

Thanks,

Hi Steve,

Yep, I’m figuring that out too. I put in some debug code and get the following:

JSON attachment : {"name":"test2","href":"http://will.sitch.org/blog-archive/2010/10/test2","description":"test2 3975 test3","media":[{"type":"image","src":"http://will.sitch.org/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=3977&g2_seri

I’m assuming it’s being truncated by the diagnostics display, which BTW is a fantastic feature. Makes debugging a hell of a lot easier!

The URL in the img src looks correct. Is there any way to read back what facebook accepted as the post and display that as a debug line?

Thanks,
Will

Hi Steve,

The code you have (from Wordbook) currently does this. It converts:

<wpg2>2296</wpg2>

to:

http://will.sitch.org/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=2296

The problem is that the fb stream attachment, when set to attach “image” media, doesn’t seem to want to accept the GET content of the URL. At least, that’s what I think is happening. I can’t read what FB accepted and there’s no error code thrown.

Ideas? I’m fresh out.

Okay I wrote some .htaccess rules to map:

http://will.sitch.org/gallery2/view/2296

to:

http://will.sitch.org/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=2296&g2_serialNumber=2

The .htaccess doesn’t rewrite the URL the browser thinks it’s viewing, so it seems pretty foolproof. I tried adding the following code to your strip_images function but it didn’t work:

if (stripos($var['src'],'main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId='))
    {
        $var['src'] = str_ireplace("main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=","view/");
        $var['src'] = str_ireplace("&g2_serialNumber=1","");
    }

This seems like a total hack. Are you sure the facebook stream attachment is really ignoring the GET elements of the URL for the image media? That seems wack.

Thanks for all your help.

Will
