Hi,

I’m trying to pass the app Facebook App Review, I mentioned I’m using this plugin but they require me some technical information:

– Clearly indicate exactly where in your app the Facebook integration is
– Describe, with as much detail as possible, your apps functionality

Which is the plugin script that executes the sync? Which query is using? Where can I find this information?

Thx

The plugin worked some days ago but the last days it throw this error: “Trying to sync events for {id} Graph returned an error: (#4) Application request limit reached”
In the Facebook dashboard I see that the application rate limit is at 13% and the user rate limit is at 0%. The plugin is configured to call it only one time a day.

I tried to do open a bug to Facebook but they asks for this information: “Could you please provide a Graph Explorer Session + Access token of the exact API call that is returning this error so we can investigate further? If you’re unsure about what API call is being made, you’ll need to contact WordPress for support.”

What API call uses this plugin to get events? Thx

It appears that Facebook has made changes to their API that cause the plugin to return an error when the Clear Session Cache button is clicked.

Error message:
“Trying to sync events for 106185912868803Graph returned an error: (#10) This endpoint requires the ‘manage_pages’ or ‘pages_read_engagement’ permission or the ‘Page Public Content Access’ feature. Refer to https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/review/login-permissions#manage-pages and https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/review/feature#reference-PAGES_ACCESS for details.”

FB Message:
“On May 5, 2020, we released six new Page permissions to replace the manage_pages and publish_pages permissions. The manage_pages permission has been replaced with pages_manage_ads, pages_manage_metadata, pages_read_engagement, and pages_read_user_content. The publish_pages permission has been replaced with pages_manage_posts and pages_manage_engagement.

Please visit our V7.0 Blog post, Graph API Changelog, and Pages API Overview for more information.”

Is this plugin still being maintained?

As I’m no longer keen on maintaining this plugin (I had to rename it due to Facebook asking me, and I’m no longer using Facebook anyway), I’m searching for a maintainer.
If nobody is interested, I will just close the plugin before the end of the year.

I think facebook changed something this week because all my sites stopped importing facebook events this week. If I try to import a single event it gets a permission error.
Until this week I could mark that I was interrested in a facebook event and the import worked. One site stopped working 2 days ago and the rest yesterday.

Unfortunately the plugin doesn’t really work.

I get this error:

...No valid Facebook session for this app detected, please logout/login using the button....

Check List:
Facebook App ID (checked)
Facebook App Secret (checked)
Turn Facebook App on (checked)

Plugin doesn’t sync with Facebook events after last update of main plugin, i think because of the field “External link (If this is filled in, the single event URL will point to this url instead of the standard event page.)”

Hi,
is it possible to import and display the cover image of a facebook event?
I tried with some #_EVENTFIELD{xx} but not working.
Thanks a lot
Enrico

Hi Franky
It looks like development of this plugin is stopping which is a shame.
While playing with some customisation of my events at my end I noticed that events inserted by this plugin don’t set the creation date into the events table.
I had a look at the code and thought it might be as simple as changing the following line of code below:
$event['event_start_date']=$fb_event['start_time']->format("Y-m-d");
to:

      $event['event_start_date']=$fb_event['start_time']->format("Y-m-d");
      $event['creation_date'] = date("Y/m/d");

But it appears the eme_new_event() isn’t setting the creation_date value which is actually in eme_localized_db_datetime()
Any ideas of a quick fix for this?
Thanks,

Tom

Hey Franky,
merry X-Mas afterwards.

Since some days the plugin doesnt sync every event.
Most events are synced without problems. But some – and it seems to me that the number is growing – doesnt sync.

It seems that the plugin detects the events, but doesnt sync them. In the list after the performed sync the events appear with “Inserted event:” but without a specific event-number.

For example these events doesnt sync:
https://www.facebook.com/events/313314502859310/

https://www.facebook.com/events/515931508901904/

And this event which is an event of the same Facebook-site does sync:
https://www.facebook.com/events/260631011296031/

Do you have an idea whats the reason for this differently behaviour?

Thanks a lot and best greets.

Hello,

We just installed your plugin and are getting the following error when trying to login from the plugin settings:

Invalid Scopes: user_events. This message is only shown to developers. Users of your app will ignore these permissions if present. Please read the documentation for valid permissions at: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions

Thanks!

Another nice option for me would be a field/option to sync single FB-Pages.
So that not the whole FB-Pages in the list going to sync.
Because some pages have more often new events than others.

I would like to make the whole list sync only once or twice a month. But some pages I want to sync two times a week or spontanous when they have new events on it.

Hey Franky,

is there a way to include the event-images on the website without download them?
So that the image-files stay at facebook and get still included into the website via the fb-image-url?

Thanks for your help.
Best greets,
Andreas

I’ve followed instructions but can not import events. Even though it advised no errors and the event was imported, it does not show. Is it possible that due to FB changes this plugin is not presently working?

Is there a solution to get sync working again?

Hey Franky,

I stupidly entered a fb-page with a blank at the end into the sync-list.
Guess thats the failure why I can not clear it by clicking the remove-button.

I am searching thru the mysql but cant find where I can delete or correct it.

Can you give me an advice please?

Thanks for your help!

Hey there,

As soon as I save my FB information, the settings page for EME Sync Facebook Events goes blank.

I can’t change or edit because it’s blank.

What’s the course of action here?

Thanks,
Bryan

A general inquiry.

I’m running through the facebook app review for the plugin (what fun). I’ve worked out we are using the user_events permissions, but they want a screen cast of the app in action.

Obviously the app itself isn’t ‘ours’, so the question is does anyone have a screencast that we can submit for review?

Cheers

Dear Franky,

Thank you for this great plugin. It worked great for me.

Only, since a few weeks the ‘sync events’ doesn’t update, it says it has updated but only the old events that were synced before are showing. See: https://www.bewustvoorneputten.nl/events/
and https://www.facebook.com/pg/bewust.voorneputten/events/?ref=page_internal

Normally after updating by hand it would give a green list of everything that it had done, but now the plugin (eme sync fb events) only says in the top in red: ‘Events Made Easy updated with current Facebook events’. On the bottom of the page I don’t see the green list anymore.

Can you say anything about what the problem could be?

Thank you.

With kind regards, Carry Maria

Hi!

No sync anymore. All sync has stopped working since April 11 in the afternoon. Button, Single, and cron is the same. Has FB changed anything making the plugin not working anymore?

I am getting the following error when trying to sync events from FB:

Trying to sync events for (redacted) returned an error: Please reduce the amount of data you’re asking for, then retry your request

Is there a way to limit the total number of records being retrieved at once?

Hey Franky,

sorry for hijackin. So I start a new thread for this new problem.

I tried the event you metioned and even with this I get the following failure message:

Graph returned an error: Unsupported get request. Object with ID ‘182093175885521’ does not exist, cannot be loaded due to missing permissions, or does not support this operation. Please read the Graph API documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api

I tried many events and none event works at my site.
It can not be caused by the permissons of the events.

Thanks for your help!

My settings are “Draft, No, Yes, Yes”
Site: https://www.skaneplus.se/hem_s

Now coordinates are save with more decimals. The effect of this is that old locations are created again as a new location.

Hey Franky,

has there been any change within the last update of the plugin?

Some locations are now recreated for each event. I know the location in facebook is wrong. But till the last update the location wasnt recreated everytime. And the strangest thing is that the new created location isnt connected with the event. The created event has no location and all the new created locations have no event.
You can see here for example:

https://mainz.partyphase.net/events/1329/male-nudes-black-white-fotoausstellung/
https://mainz.partyphase.net/locations/410/bar-jeder-sicht-hintere-bleiche-29-55116-mainz/

The location has been created over 20 times now. For each event a new location, as you can see here in the list: https://mainz.partyphase.net/locations/
But none of these are connected to any event.

The FB-page of the location is here:
https://www.facebook.com/pg/BarjederSicht/events/

Is it possible that the settings of the sync-tool like use the name have no effect since the last update?

My settings are: coordinates: no; name: yes; skip: yes

Thanks for your answer.

Greets,
Andi

P.S. I have read the other thread about this topic.

When I try to use this plugin it says no valid fb session detected. I’m logged into FB and believe I’ve set up the app correctly but the documentation is outdated so I’m not sure.

Now I soon give up! Now all existing location are added again. I have 1800 location I manualy added categories, logotypes, text and pictures to. They now all created as a new locations again. It look like you added one decimal in the coordinates so it now thinks its a new location. Please this is destroying everything in my webpage. All the hard work and things done. How to solve this????

Also loctins with the “yellow warning” are now added over and over again every sync. I have some with same name and 10 copies…..!!!!

Please!!! I need help!!!

Hi!

Two problems:

1) Now every cron sync the same events are added over and over again. This came with one of the new versions.

2) With cron sync new events are added but new locations not. Is i take the event id and add as a single event the location is added, so it’s only related to cron sync.

Hi,

I noticed thousands of event images generated in Image Library. Found that the issue was supposed to be fixed already (https://plugins.trac.www.ads-software.com/changeset/1651027), yet having the latest version 1.0.33 I still get new images generated with every sync.

Great plugin but for me in-text hyperlinks are being stripped from the urls on import – is there anything I can do about this? They show in the text of the Facebook event, but the hyperlinks disappear on import.

e.g. on Facebook
https://www.facebook.com/events/156157331806709/

after import
https://salisburytriclub-com.stackstaging.com/events/2018-06-10/?notcategory=1

Thanks

It doesn’t matter what schedule I set the events to sync/update from, they will only sync if I go into the dashboard and settings for the plug-in and click the ‘Update’ button. Everything syncs fine when I do that, but it is not happening automatically.
