| Version | 10.0.30 |
| Addon | General / Uncategorised |
| Description | Many things have changed since the facebook_support addon was last heavily worked on. 1) Many profile fields removed 2) Many app permissions removed 3) New manual review requirements for many permissions 4) No more posting to user's own walls 5) Heavy timbre of forced API updates due to version deprecations 6) Logging out had stopped working 7) Requirement to use HTTPS to interface with Facebook 8) Requirement to use HTTPS for Facebook to interface back with the website 9) Need to request "long life" access tokens, as default tokens from oAuth are short life We already kludged through some of this in a hacky way over the years. This addon properly reviews it and comes to satisfactory resolutions that should last a few more years. It is fully compatible with Graph API 6.0, which only just came out. It is still the case the Facebook SDK integrated is extremely old. This does not matter practically, but in v11 the SDK is being updated as a part of a much more active protocol for maintaining SDKs and APIs. |
