I am trying to publish user stories on a facebook user's wall using graph api.
My use case is like this:
the user wrote an article that regards a specific community
I created one action 'writes' and two objects 'article' and 'community'.
The two objects have each their pages on my website, where I created all the corresponding meta data for open graph. Tested with the Open Graph Object Debugger and it looks fine.
Now I wanted to customize the way the story is shown.
The default sentence is for example
"[user] wrote [article.noun] via [appname]"
(brackets are there just to identify placeholders)
but I would like to include information about the community.
So what I did is add a property to the write action, called community that expects a reference to a community object.
Then I changed the sentence to:
"[user] wrote [article.noun] on community.title via [appname]"
via triboom demo"
but community.title is just treated as plain text and not as a placeholder.
Is there a way to tell FB to use the property value in the sentence?
I could not find any documentation on this.
TIA

Ok, just found out you need to use {object.property} syntax (doc is here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/creating-custom-stories#variations)
Will investigate more and update the answer if it works.
Thank you very much for posting that!
How can the placeholders be referenced if there are more than one objects in the sentence? Like, for example, in the "One to Two" sentence:
"[user] wrote [article1.noun] and [article2.noun] on community.title via [appname]"
Please excuse for posting this as an answer. Unfortunately, I lack the reputation to comment.

I am the admin of a Facebook group and am trying to keep track of how many people each user has added. I cannot seem to nail down how I can easily write a script to:
Determine how many people a User has added.
Echo that to a file in the format $User:$number_of_added_members.
I've been made aware I cannot do this with the API, I am banging my head against a wall here. If anyone could at least point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
I just did this...
actually i am a programmer and did it in the hard way because i needed group by users. I hoped that the graph api at least give me an xml of user with added by in order to make my code read it but it did not so what i did is just to copy the table on the members page and paste it on a txt file and make a python code read it and make a dictionary of user: number_of_users_he_added.
it was quick but there is a problem that the members page does not give u all the results, its infinity scroll and i have a lot of members.
u can write a js script that read the dom instead of copy paste or even a chrome extension but still have the problem with the infinity scroll.
if facebook provide the added by field in their graph it will be great
Maybe you can work with the site which lists all members and look for the string below the member which says "added by on " But I'm not sure, how long this stays before it switches to "in the group since"
Edit
Use a crawler software like the one in Symfony to traverse the HTML of the page. You will need a PHP CLI for this tool. DOMCrawler from Symfony
Until recently I was able to find all my public comments using a link on my profile page. I was using this functionality to keep track of all issues where I have commented, but not contributed anything. It was under a section called "Public Activity".
This function seems to have been removed. I can not find anything about it on the help page about profiles.
Does anybody have any information on when and why this was removed?
You can do this with an advanced search query. In the Issues search box, enter "commenter:username".
Or if you want to search a specific repo: "RepositoryName commenter:username".
This link is quite useful, it's a live feed of all issues you've commented.
https://github.com/notifications/subscriptions?reason=comment
Alternatively, this link is also helpful and is probably what the OP asked (issues where one has written comments):
https://github.com/search?l=&q=commenter%3AVadorequest+is%3Aissue&type=issues
Replace "Vadorequest" by the username you're looking for
You can also use the global search with commenter:Vadorequest is:issue to achieve the same result
Also, if you want to track discussions you participated in, this link might help:
https://github.com/search?l=&q=commenter%3AVadorequest&type=discussions
Replace "Vadorequest" by the username you're looking for
You can also use the global search with commenter:Vadorequest to achieve the same result
This 4th (and last) is not related to the OP's question, but might come in handy. It lists all PR you were requested as reviewer.

Type involves:<username> in the search box on the GitHub's main page. This will find all the issues that the specified user commented on, was assigned to or mentioned in.
For example, if the user's name on GitHub is unclebob, the search query should look like:
involves:unclebob
Or when searching information about yourself if you're logged in to GitHub, simply:
involves:#me
Note, that unlike involves similar search qualifiers - author and commenter - will omit certain results from the search:
author will find only the issues that were started by the user; if the specified user comments on the issue that was started by someone else, author query won't return it in the search results.
E.g., compare involves:unclebob and author:unclebob type:issue.
commenter will find only those issues where the specified user commented second or later (creator of the first comment in an issue is considered its author and not a commenter); if the user starts an issue and then never comments on it, the commenter query won't return it in the search results.
E.g., compare involves:unclebob and commenter:unclebob.
In other words, when it comes to searching comments, author and commenter return only a subset of involves' results. So I recommend using involves not to miss anything.
Since GitHub Universe 2016, the profile page has changed.
It still has a "Contribution activity" though, which includes your own comments. But you might need to click on "Show more activity" to see past the last few weeks.
And you can email yourself your own activity since last June: "Email updates about your own activity".
If you want a list of all issues where you either created them or were a commenter on them, this link works best:
https://github.com/notifications/subscriptions?reason=author,comment
I want to link my personal webpage on parse.com, so that I can implement the verify_email_success.html file. But I don't find a text field where this works.
Any ideas how to achieve this?
Looks like you need to first sign up at Parse.com and then create a new application (which will represent your website).
From quick Googling, I've found this tutorial which looks to focus on the type of thing you are trying to do:
http://blog.bizzi-body.com/2015/05/17/adding-email-verification-to-the-parse-com-sign-up-process/
UPDATE:
From looking into this a bit more, it appears that Parse.com works very much like many other web-based services/APIs, in that to "link" your application (website in your case) with Parse.com, you need to specify the Application Key that Parse provides when you create a new application via their website.
Untested example based on Parse.com documentation:
Parse.initialize("APPLICATION ID", "JAVASCRIPT KEY");

I've got a staging and live site I'm working on (not my code base). I've accidentally replaced the live server with some staging code (no backup (slap me)) and I'm getting weird urls for articles on the sites 'blog' page.
Basically everything's being called into the page correctly but the page header link is being screwed.
Rather than being
http://www.example.com/a-nice-url
it's giving me
http://www.example.com/news,recent,pr,etc
which appears to be the list of categories of the article.
Where/How can I easily fix this?
I'm only calling [[*content]] and can't find where that is.
Linking to an article I know is there with the correct url works still.
any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I assume your blog page has some sort of listing somewhere, maybe a getResources call? If you can't find it in your blog list template (as you're saying you only see a *content), it means the list is probably "hardcoded" in the blog list resource content field.
You'll want to find the chunks being used to output each blog entry on the lists and check which page parameter is used to construct the link. It should probably be *alias, and if it is and your aliases are correct you have some deeper trouble going on.
I have a number of non-page content items that are used as "callouts" on the side of pages throughout my website that I am building in Sitecore. Ideally I would like to be able to define the presentation information for these callouts independently. Then when a CMS author selects callouts for a particular page in the site, they know how to display themselves. I read an excellent blog post about how to do this here: http://www.awareweb.com/AwareBlog/InversionControl2.aspx. I used the first method that he describes in the post.
However my implementation of that code doesn't completely work. It seems to get the correct rendering and it iterates properly through the selected non-page callout items. But when it displays them on the page it seems like the callout items are still using Sitecore.Context.Item as their source item and not the source item that was passed in to them via the strDataSource variable as seen in the example code.
Do I have to do anything special in the code behind for the sublayouts for the callouts to tell them not to use Sitecore.Context.Item and instead to use the source item that was passed in? Otherwise I can't figure out why it's not working. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Corey
Setting the DataSource in a sublayout doesn't explicitly set the Context.Item to a different value, it just sets a property in a sublayout that it can use itself.
Rather than write up the solution again, John West's blog already covers this subject here, so I'd recommend you read that - http://www.sitecore.net/Community/Technical-Blogs/John-West-Sitecore-Blog/Posts/2010/11/How-to-Apply-Data-Sources-to-Sitecore-ASPNET-Presentation-Components.aspx
I would recommend using the SublayoutParameterHelper Shared Source library which provides a Helper and a base class to use with your sublayouts for accessing the Item represented by an ID set in the DataSource; John also cites this library in his blog post.
