| Summary | 4198: Facebook addon needs overhauling | ||||
| 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. | ||||

Fixed in git commit a3c050ea4 (https://gitlab.com/composr-foundation/composr/commit/a3c050ea4 - link will become active once code pushed to GitLab) A hotfix (a TAR of files to upload) has been uploaded to this issue. These files are made to the latest intra-version state (i.e. may roll in earlier fixes too if made to the same files) - so only upload files newer than what you have already. If there are files in a hot-fix that you don't have then they probably relate to addons that you don't have installed and should be skipped. Always take backups of files you are replacing or keep a copy of the manual installer for your version, and only apply fixes you need. These hotfixes are not necessarily reliable or well supported. Not sure how to extract TAR files to your Windows computer? Try 7-zip (http://www.7-zip.org/). |
