Hey folks – thanks for getting in touch, my apologies for the slow response. I’ll look into this asap, but please confirm you have installed Otto’s SFC and it is working properly. Could you also provide me with a link to your WordPress site?
Cheers, Roggie

Great, many thanks for getting back to me. FYI the text in the “Using the shortcodes” setting section has the shortcode incorrectly listed as [cookie_delete].
Thanks again, Roggie

Well that’s very strange – the error refers to your WordPress functions.php file, and in mine, those line numbers are part of “function add_query_arg()”

Given that the code works for me, and no other users have reported this issue, I’d suggest:
1)make sure you don’t have any old SFCe directories on your plugins folder, if so, please move them (I know this sounds pointless but hey)
2) disable all your plugins except SFC and SFCe

If the above doesn’t fix things try a different WP installation, it looks like your running on Windows, so maybe try WordPress on a Linux VM?

Hi – I’ve uploaded a test version to the branches directory – its numbered 4.00.3 and includes a text ‘access token override’ box on the setting page that you ca use to enter an access token. If you put something in that text box SFCe will use that instead of any other access token.

So you need a User access token to do user related stuff – eg create a User event, and you need a Page access token to do page stuff – eg create a Page event, so use the override box with caution.

This version also saves the result from facebook in a custom field called fb_event_id. If successful it should have the event id, if not, it should have other interesting info.

You can download this version by clickng on Subversion Repository on the right of he www.ads-software.com plugin page, then click on branches…

Please let me know how it works out.

Mmmm, it is strange, if only because SFCe doesn’t actually use its own access token – it uses the same one as SFC.

However, SFCe needs to get permission from facebook to create events, which is the main purpose of the permissions code on the settings page. (I was testing getting an SFCe specific access token to automatically invite people to events, but that feature is very much in beta at the moment)

Anyhow, it would be fairly easy for me to add a text box that you could use to store an access token – a sort of SFCe access token override. So I’ll get that done in a day or two and issue an update. It’ll be interesting to see if your access token owuld work (or be any different) to the SFC one.

I’m sorry but I cannot reproduce the problem, when I start with a clean system things work properly.

A couple of things for you to check:

Have you loaded the auto-publish option and granted all Publish permissions in Otto’s SFC plugin? If not please do and re-try.

If SFC Publish is loaded and working, please go into Facebook – Privacy Setting – Apps and websites — and revoke all permissions for your WordPress blog’s app. Then go back to Otto’s SFC and grant permissions there again, then go to SFCe and grant permissions there again.

Hi, This sounds like a conflict with another plugin you have loaded. Could you give me a list of those plugins? And in order to track down the problem, also please try disabling them to see if login-and-logout then works properly.

Thanks for the feedback, and my apologies for the problem. I’ll take a look at the code and get back to you.

Hi – my apologies for the delay in getting back to you, I have just released a major update that should fix this problem. Please download version 4.x of this plug and use it with version 1.x of Otto’s Simple Facebook Connect. Please let me know if you still have any problems with this plugin.

My apologies for the problems above, I have finished a major update to the plugin.

Version 4.x of this plugin now works with Otto’s Simple Facebook Connect v1.x.

I’ve tested it with a few different WordPress blogs and Facebook IDs, and all working well now. I’ll be monitoring this forum and will fix bugs asap.

Please try version 4.x of this plugin, which does work with Otto’s SFC plugin 1.x

Thanks.

Firstly, sorry but I don’t know anything about mailchimp. Secondly, sorry again but SFCe works with the first version of SFC – version numbers like 0.3 etc. I need to update the code to work with version 1.x of SFC.
I hope to get this done fairly soon.

Which version of Otto’s SFC are you using?

For the benefit of anyone with the same problem, the solution is to check the data you enter for the event. In this case, the “photo path” was a web link – e.g. https://…. but Facebook does not accept this as a valid path. A valid path must be local to your computer’s file system – e.g. /var/www/wordpress….

I can’t offer much help unless you provide details about what you did. My guess is either a cacheing problem, or there is something contained in the data you are using to create the event that is causing the problem. Could you try with very simple test data so you can post it publicly if the problem is still there.

FWIW, common problems are having another facebook plugin active (obviously you need Otto’s SFC installed and working – if it doesn’t work, neither will SFCe). You also need your facebook account linked to your WP account, pop-ups not blocked in your browser, and be logged into facebook when you create the event.

If there is a bug I’d really like to fix it, so I’d be very grateful if we can get to the bottom of this.
