Yes, you need to overwrite old updates or resubmit sitemap.xml in webmaster.

I'm using the PHP SDK for adding reviews/ratings of books. Whenever someone updates the rating of a book or a review on my site, I am sending in an update request through the API for the original open graph id associated with the rating/review and it does update the rating/review values but the timestamp on the action is still set to whenever it was first submitted. I want to have the time be reflected of the last update so it shows up in their activity feed/timeline in the right place.
I've tried modifying end_time,start_time and publish_time based on the documentation here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/using-actions/
but nothing does anything to modify the timestamp of the action. Any ideas?
My recommendation would be to delete the action and create a new one altogether.
I am working on a major site migration for alpinezone.com . As part of that migration, I moved all the news articles from vbulletin into wordpress cms. The vbulletin articles were previousyl pulled out via a plugin called GARS.
In any event, I have 3400 news articles over the course of five years or so. They are presently in the following format:
news.alpinezone.com/12345
If the title of the news article was "Sugarloaf Sets World Record" then the new location will be
alpinezone.com/sugarloaf-sets-world-record/
Is there a way for me to automate creating the necessary redirects that take the title from the literal page 12345 and convert into a URL?
Finally; the additional trick is that since I did a VB upgrade the existing news articles no longer show up. So going to news.alpinezone.com/12345 won't show anything right now, you need to pull up the forum thread (which is typically hidden) by taking that identifier and going to http://forums.alpinezone.com/showthread.php?12345 to see the actual title. I can pull all this from the WP database, (since all the posts are from a user AlpineZone News).
Any ideas? I'm fairly new to this and the added complexity of subdomains is somethign I am trying to figure out. Thx!
you could make your own showthread.php file in the correct location it was previously located.
have it use the passed id, retrieve the associated record from your database.
Construct the new url by turning the title to lowercase and changing spaces to - and do a redirect via header('Location: new url here');
As I submit an application for "read" action on Open Graph I received the following response.
Status: Changes needed
Unfortunately, your article.read built-in submission does not meet the read requirements specified at: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/actions/builtin/#read. You must give users the ability to turn sharing off/on globally as well as remove an article that was shared within the app. In addition, read actions should only be generated when there is a strong indication that the user is actually reading the article. Please note that we cannot accept resubmission as this time due to technical limitations, so you will need to create a new submission. We plan to have this resolved within the next couple of weeks. We suggest making the required changes and checking back. We appreciate your patience. Note: If you are creating an aggregation based on the object, you need to add 6-7 unique sample objects, and then create a corresponding sample action acting on each of these unique objects. (You can not just create 6-7 sample actions pointing to the same sample object). Submission Checklist: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/checklist
Please make changes below and resubmit for review.
Unfortunately, this "guide" is not helping with anything. Firstly, I have no idea where to do this:
You must give users the ability to turn sharing off/on globally as well as remove an article that was shared within the app.
Second of all, I don't even know how to "resubmit"!
Any help would be appreciated.
I was experiencing the same thing. You have to click on the name of your action that you submitted. Once you do that, Facebook provides detailed instructions why they didn't approve the action and what you need to do before you resubmit. Once you review the message, you can make the necessary changes and save the action again. Then you'll have the option to resubmit. In my case Facebook said that I need to provide more detailed instructions what the user needs to do to get an action published. They provided this example: "User must create an account, enable Timeline sharing in the settings, view a product within the app and then click the “want” button underneath the product image to trigger a story". I did that and resubmitted. Hopefully it works this time around. Good luck.
To resubmit, just delete the rejected action and create a new one. You can use the same action name as before. You then go through the submission process again as you did the first time.
Facebook have recently updated their guide to implementing their built-in action types. For the Read action type, see https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/actions/builtin/#read. You will see a sample application that meets the following criteria required for the use of this action type:
Turn sharing on/off globally on each page an article appears.
Remove articles they shared within your app on each page an article appears.
Only generate read actions when you're sure someone is interested in reading the article.
Built-In actions can't be resubmitted. It is a FB Bug:
https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/364663400220101?browse=search_4f44876aabaef7501649601
From this answer on FB tools and support I got this:
You can start a new submission at the bottom of the "Items in Review" page:
https://developers.facebook.com/apps/337449599791917/review-status/items-in-review/
That link didn't work for me.. so I just went to the app dashboard and clicked on status and review
clicking on the start a new submission button loaded a dialog that prompted me to select which items to "re-review".. so I only selected the problematic one:
after that it loads a form for you to resubmit, so here you gotta re-upload the iOS simulator build etc..
and that's it!
Is there any way to transfer comments from a "deleted" Facebook app (that is still receiving comments) to a new app id? The app was deleted by accident quite some time ago but we now have thousands of comments that have been entered using it. I'm afraid I will lose all of the comments if I simply switch to a new app. The app id seems to function just fine with the commenting mechanism, but I can't manage it or use it in any other way.
AFAIK, there is no automated way of doing this. However, you can read them programatically from your deleted app (provided you have the permissions) and then post it again on your new app.
You can get the original app's feed using the following (PHP) code:
$response=file_get_contents("https://graph.facebook.com/".$id."/feed&access_token=".$facebook_access_token);
$response_array=json_decode($response,true);
// $id: ID of the page where the comments are
You can also customize this query by adding pagination parameters like since,limit,until etc. Please refer to https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/ for documentation.
And can be reposted to your app by HTTP POSTing to the same URL. See https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/page/#posts for details.
Please understand that you can't post as the original author - so you can only post the text and perhaps manually add the context of the original author. so i.e:
"Shreeni: 'This is a cool app' "
will have to become
"App: 'Shreeni said: 'This is a cool app' ' "
I have a problem that vBulletin seems to be automatically reposting new threads in another forum.
The new threads have identical topic titles and show the first 1 or 2 lines of the original forum post with a 'More...' link to the original post.
The new posts are made under my user account.
What could cause this behavior? I have disabled pingbacks. It seems this is some sort of built-in behavior, since it's been an issue since I did maintenance 2 weeks ago. I have however no idea what it is I have done, that could have caused this.
(I will not post links for example purpose, as this might be considered spammy)
Sounds like you have enabled an RSS Feed for your forum?
I suspect that I could re-create your problem by adding the RSS feed for my vBulletin site (eg: http://www.mysite.com/forums/external.php?type=RSS2) to the RSS Feed Manager and have it post new entries as posts in one of my forums.
You don't mention which version of vBulletin, so I'm going to assume v3.8.x (v4.x might be slightly different). Login to your vBulletin admincp, then look for the RSS Feeds > RSS Feed Manager option on the left.
You should be able to disable or remove the feed in question.
To enable an RSS feed of your own forum's posts you must go to Admin CP -> Settings -> Options -> External Data Provider -> Enable RSS Syndication.
use https://mysite.com/forum/external?type=rss2 to your forum latest posts
