It doesn’t look like Facebook has an API to support hashtags yet (only generic searches, so a search for #pizza would also return any results with “pizza” in the post, not just instances of the hashtag being used).
it might be a good addition to Tagregator if they do implement an API endpoint for it, though, so thanks for the suggestion.
In any event, Tagregator is very extensible, so it’s pretty easy to add additional modules to it without having to fork it or change the code at all. You’d just need to write a second plugin that runs alongside it and registers your custom module.
If you ever plan on doing that, let me know and I can point you in the right direction.
Yeah, you’re right..
I know that Facebook haven’t API for hashtag retrive.
i would like to implement it with the generic word search.
When someone use “FB HashRetrive”, have to know that it’s a little different from the other Social (until they realize API for it) :
if i use an hashtag that is impossible that compare in a “normal phrase”.
I’m very interested to create a separate module that can live along plugin update…
if you can explain it to me, i thank you a lot..!!
(i see something like
tggr-source-<social>.php
have i to create
my tggr-source-FB.php..??)
THANKS AGAIN..!!
Exactly. I’ve put together an example that you can download and get started from:
http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/tagregator/assets/tagregator-custom-media-source-example.zip
Let me know if you have any questions or run into any problems.
Once you get it working, it’d be awesome if you added it to the WordPress.org repository so that others could use it 🙂
When you submit that form, do you get any results back? I get results when I search for #wcbh on facebook.com itself, but I don’t get any results when using the API explorer.
Hi,
Was wondering if you managed to get Facebook posts using the generic word search? I’m looking to do the same thing for my current project using this plugin!
No, nobody has contributed a Facebook media source yet.
