Facebook proper integration!

ISSUE SUMMARY:
I need to get real instruction how to finalize FB integration.

There is no real documentation about FB integration, existing is old and can't be used.
I made FB app, but seems like it doesn't work correctly!
When I login via FB JS gets status from FB, but status comes without picture and looks quite stupid, just comment to picture which doesn't exist.
Post to FB from JS doesn't work at all.

I see topic www.jomsocial.com/forum/facebook-connect...facebook-integration
Marked as 3rd party issue and that is absolutely incorrect, there is no issue related to FB, it's just unclear and undocumented.
At that topic, instead to provide instruction, support person just making something for one person...
As example, here advice www.jomsocial.com/forum/facebook-connect...k-integration#123927
to add read_stream, gives notification from FB
"This permission is granted to apps building a Facebook-branded client on platforms where Facebook is not already available. For example, Android and iOS apps will not be approved for this permission. In addition, Web, Desktop, in-car and TV apps will not be granted this permission."


STEPS TO REPLICATE:
That is exactly a problem, need clear steps to setup app!
RESULT
FB integration doesn't work properly
EXPECTED RESULT
FB integration should work
BROWSER

Hi, Dimitri.

I agree that our documentation needs update - this will be done soon.
Meanwhile make sure that application on Facebook is enabled.
Proper site URL is provided.
Go to settings and and then Advanced tab. At the bottom "Embedded browser OAuth Login" enable this option.


- Instead of saying: 'it's not working', explain the problem in detail.
- Screenshots with the URL visible in them and the problem marked are more than welcome.
- Tell us how to replicate the problem, we can't fix it if we can't find it.
- Make sure that your site/server meets JomSocial System Requirements
- Make sure to setup JomSocial Cron Job
- Always provide us with access details to the backend and ftp. We need it to debug problems.
- If you have a similar problem, but a solution you found isn't working, open a new thread instead of 'merging' with an existing one.

Thanks for reply Michal,
Now it works bit better))).

Looks like that doesn't work as I expected. I am not sure is it integration problem or just missing functionality.
I attached screenshot with my Facebook timeline where you can see three posts.
Posts 1 and 2 done by JS automatically when I made simple posts at my site. It looks like works now, but it comes like simple FB posts without any link to my site.
Post 3 I made manually via link to post at my site and that post comes exactly how I want to see it in my FB timeline. It has link to my site and now click at it opens my site. That is crucial for me (and I believe that not only for me) because in this way (post 3) I can promote my site and get visitors.
Post 1 and 2 doesn't show my site at all and in this case my site absolutely invisible.

Next I found, that I can get link only to simple JS posts, when it's photo, there is no link to post with photo (at least I didn't find how to get it), simple post allow me to click on time below name (same as in FB) and get direct link to that post, then I can share it in FB as I did in Post 3 at screenshot. When JS post has photo, time below name unclickable anymore, I can't get direct link to post with photo. If I click on photo, it opens but there is link only to main site. There is share in options, it open social share, but again it doesn't share photo, it gives link to JS timeline only. G+ doesn't work with photo, I just see spinning ball and it never stops. (didn't check other options).

Post with video (youtube) also goes with unclickable time, and if I share it via Options, it post just only link to youtube, my site invisible again(((. G+ works and posts only link to youtube. My comment from JS doesn't go anywhere.
Photo and Video post share via Options works differently Photo Share gives link to JS timeline, Video Post Share posts direct link to video source only.

I don't know it might be my mistakes in settings or really major functionality missing in general, please clarify this for me.

Hi, Dimitri.

All you mentioned here is correct and expected:

1. Posts from JS will be posted as regular FB posts. The one you posted (third on printscreen) is in a fact not a regular post but link share. That's different thing and to post it og meta data is used.

2. Also it's correct that there is no option to link to single photo or video activity. There is no need for it as they are just kind or "mentions" of certain activity like adding video. You should rather use direct URL to video or photo than to activity.

If you think that those features or way they work like are crucial, please, post it here:

uservoice.jomsocial.com/forums/101561-feature-request
www.jomsocial.com/community/groups/viewg...stions-for-the-staff

That's the only way to do a feature requests.
