[Plugin: WPBook Lite] Question regarding access tokens and groups

    One more question, this one related to WPBook-lite and groups:

    Assuming I have multiple blog contributors, each one a member of my group, and I want each contributor’s posts to migrate to Facebook, will each contributor have to generate his/her own access token before posting? And if so, will each contributor also need to update the Facebook Profile ID in the WPBook-lite setting area before generating his/her access token?

    I think the answer to both questions above may be “Yes”. I’m still new to all this, but it seems as if there needs to be consistency between a logged in Facebook user, the Profile ID entered into WPBook-lite, and the access token, as well as appropriate group permissions for everything to come together. Is that right? If so, I’m wondering how multiple contributors can post to Facebook without jumping through a bunch of access token hoops.

    Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide (and apologies if this is a silly question),

    Not a silly question at all.

    WPBook (and WPBook Lite) stores just one global token for a user. That user grants WPBook the right to post to his/her profile, group, or page.

    So in your case, only one user – the one setting up the WPBook application in facebook, with access to post to the group, needs to go through the setup process.

    Other users will be able to publish to the group – though it may look like they are contributing as you (or whomever granted permission).

    I’ve explored the potential of storing an access token per user, as well as therefore a Facebook profile ID and publishing target per user, but it has not been implemented.
