Hi Franky, I updated to the new version but the one event I’m trying to sync isn’t being imported, despite no error messages. I assume it has to do with the new API version, any ideas?

I would use the words “horrible and cruel” to describe Facebook’s versioning policy, rather than weird, but we’re in agreement.

Okay we’re making progress, thanks for your suggestion. Changing the PHP then making a new app allowed me to log in to FB from the settings page. However, updating does not actually sync events. I get a success message, but events still aren’t syncing. Any ideas?

Since all users from here on out will be using API v2.4, it is in your interest make a new app and test your plugin with v2.4, checking along the way for any errors or suspicious log messages. It sounds like we’re flying blind here…

Well obviously any app a developer creates will need to communicate with Facebook’s servers somehow, and that is done through an API.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that change, reloaded/updated the EME FB Sync settings page a couple times, also reset my secret and re-added my Facebook page to the settings, but I’m getting the same error.

Random thought: perhaps you need to upgrade the SDK? Just a wild guess here.

Thanks for your reply Franky — I would submit that it is relevant, since when creating a new FB app, a developer cannot select an old API version — I’m stuck with v2.4.

You ask me to log out using the button in the settings page (I assume?) but I was never able to log in in the first place. That Facebook support document you sent is definitely over my head.

It seems you will need to update the plugin to support the new FB API, as all your new users will be unable to sync unless you do, according to the article I sent, as user_groups permission was removed.

Looks like I was right — this is a change in the API after all:

Looking forward to your update Franky ??
