Franky – I fixed my issue.
FB API switched out place for location and venue, plus some of the events had a different time format .. I can send my changes to you if you want.

I’ll be more than happy to include your fixes!
But I think I need some more info: is your facebook app already using API 2.4 (mine uses 2.3 and there “place” works just fine …)?
I’m not totally sure what’s going on .. it says I’m using version 2.3, but the location & event fields that I’m getting were deprecated in 2.3 ..
I do have user_managed_groups in the scope of my token because I turned in on for my own FB plugin that I wrote to import the feed from my ‘secret’ group .. so maybe I’m getting a different result because I manage the group?
I’m going to do some more research to see what’s really going on .. but I did find this ExpressiveDate class really helped with your myDateTime createFromFormat with all the different possible formats Facebook might return .. you might find it useful in the future –
https://github.com/jasonlewis/expressive-date/blob/master/src/ExpressiveDate.php
$date = new ExpressiveDate();
$myDateTime = $date->setTimestampFromString($event['start_time']);
ok – the location/venue seems to be returning from my {group-id}/events queries (listing all of a group’s events) .. but {event-id} objects (single events) use place .. I have no idea why my results are different .. but that’s what I’m getting using v2.3 API explorer & your plugin.
I sent my version of your plugin to the email I got when I signed up for your support forum on e-dynamics.be
Maybe it’ll help somebody else 🙂

ok, the datetime parsing changed back to a simpler form in 1.0.16
Concerning group-id: an example I can test (public)?
Its a private group .. I actually created my own secret testing group to test with .. threw some posts and events in there .. I’m the only member .. you could probably do that for yourself easily since you have to be the manager of the group to recreate the ‘managed_groups’ permission

Well, personally I try to stay away from fb as much as I can, so no extra groups for me.
However, according to their API doc, the group/events node should return regular facebook events and thus should not have “venue”. Maybe update your facebook app to api 2.4?
Yeah I have a feeling its just something unique with my setup .. thanks for trying to look into it 🙂 I hacked it together for now .. I just have to be careful with your updates
Thanks again .. keep up the good work!

I tried to find a facebook api call that would return the supported list of fields one can ask, but apparently that doesn’t exist. Adding “?metadata=1” to a node gets me something, but not what I want …
Maybe the new SDK can help …
Hi there,
