In reply to: [FB Photo Sync] Photo limits and sync buttonNot really, currently I’m only using the JavaScript SDK for ease. I will need to switch over to the PHP SDK for this sort of functionality and have it run a pseudo cron (WordPress has a function called wp_schedule_event) that would need to make the call out to Facebook over a certain interval.
If you want to hack or extend the plugin you can probably do what you need to with a cron and using the PHP SDK, and then hooking into the function I use to save the data. All data is saved as a serialized object in the options table.

In reply to: [FB Photo Sync] Photo limits and sync buttonHi kred99,
Can you send me the Facebook page and the album you are trying to import? I can look and see if there’s a bug there and fix it.
The “sync” button will update the album with new images or meta data that may be there. Currently, the plugin doesn’t autosync, though that is planned for the future, at least to some capacity. So yes, you can manually click that and the album will sync with any new data that may be available. Let me know if you notice any other issues, I just quickly pushed out an update to fix a huge issue, so there may be some unexpected bugs.
Take care,

In reply to: [FB Photo Sync] (#4) Application resquest limit reachedHaha, thanks, and I’m glad it fixed your issue! Hopefully this API version is a bit more stable so I can focus on stuff like that and focus less on keeping the plugin working. The next phase is options and such like you just described.
Marking this issue as resolved. If you experience any other issues, please don’t hesitate to put in another ticket. 🙂

In reply to: [FB Photo Sync] Photo's not showing in galleryHi DeBuy,
I pinged you on Facebook, but letting you know here that 0.5.4 has been released and I think it will (hopefully) fix the issues you have been experiencing. Let me know if you see any other issues. Thanks!

In reply to: [FB Photo Sync] (#4) Application resquest limit reachedHi heddo,
Please try the newest version 0.5.4. This should (hopefully) fix all your problems with the plugin since it is now compatible with v2.4 of Facebook’s Graph API. Let me know if you have any issues and thanks!

In reply to: [FB Photo Sync] (#4) Application resquest limit reachedI’m going to look into creating an app outside of the plugin. Stay tuned.

In reply to: [FB Photo Sync] (#4) Application resquest limit reachedTurns out the issue is that Facebook did a significant change to their API going from version 2.3 to version 2.4. My plugin was using version 2.3. It really really messed up my plugin and I’m working through the issues now. In the mean time, if you have a Facebook App that is less than 2.4, that will probably work.
Facebook is making me really regret ever working with their API. The people that work there have no concern for backwards compatibility. It almost makes me want to abandon this plugin. Seriously, what a pain…

Can you post the Facebook page URL you are trying to import albums from? Have you tried another page to see if you get the same error?

In reply to: [FB Photo Sync] Photo's not showing in galleryHi DeGuy,
I did not. I just put in a support ticket with my hosting provider because it USED to work but have confirmed that it is not currently working though all my settings are correct.
Feel free to find me on Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn and private message me there.
Thanks,

In reply to: [FB Photo Sync] (#4) Application resquest limit reachedHi heddo,
I haven’t heard of anyone reporting this issue before, but I will look into it. I’m not sure how a new app can reach a request limit like that right off the bat. Are you using the App ID for something else as well or did you just create it for the sole purpose of interacting with my plugin?
The plugin used to be much much easier, however, Facebook made it much more strict how people interact with their API. This forced me to make a large update a few months ago that requires an App ID and all sorts of things. I’m still trying to sort things out with the little time I have to make the plugin more user friendly. I’ve made progress, but there is still a lot of work that needs to be done.

In reply to: [FB Photo Sync] Photo's not showing in galleryRight, I do notice the images are not coming through on your site, but most of the other data is.
If you want to create me an admin user, I can see what’s going on when you try and import the album. You can contact me via my contact form at my website mikeauteri.com to take this conversation over email. Hopefully we can figure out the issue and improve the plugin.

In reply to: [FB Photo Sync] Photo's not showing in galleryNo problem, DeGuy,
My plugin is still in beta since there seems to be some bugs and issues still, so this is helpful to me to move it forward with fewer and fewer issues. Or at least that’s the hope. I guess we can try a few other things, just to find the root of the issue. First, can you send me the Facebook page and the name of the album you are trying to import (URL of the page and the album name)? I can then at least test it on my end and make sure there’s nothing obvious with the page or album that it can’t be imported. Second, if you can set up a WordPress installation on a server somewhere and try to import there, with your theme, plugins and all, that would at least give us an idea of whether it’s a permission issue on your development environment (I know MAMP can have permission issues with WordPress) or if it’s an issue with the app or album specifically.
The plugin used to be very simple when it used Facebook’s 1.0 Graph API, but since April and the deprecation of the 1.0 API, everyone had to move to 2.0, which was much more strict, even for read-only public data. It was for the best, but now there’s a lot more issues. Thanks for helping me work through them.
Take it easy,

In reply to: [FB Photo Sync] Photo's not showing in gallerySounds like it could be permissions issue when it tries to download and save the images. You can also try UN-checking the “Import images to media library?” box and clicking sync again. By doing that, you are just serving the images right off Facebook rather than serving them from your site.
Also, not sure if you saw above, but I put in a disable for lazy load with lazy_load=”false” if you add it to the shortcode.

In reply to: [FB Photo Sync] Photo's not showing in galleryHi DeGuy,
I just pushed out a new version 0.5.3. You can now add the attribute lazy_load=”false” to your shortcode to disable lazy load for the gallery. Let me know if that fixes the issue.
Thanks!
Mike
