Phoca Gallery: Error with Intergration of Facebook Albums in Gallery - facebook

So, same Problem like the Guy before and alot more people on the web, but this time i try to make a good discription. My english is not perfect, but please realise that i really try to tell you the details here.
There is a Function in the Famous Phoca Gallery Plugin for Joomla to integrate whole Facebook-Albums into the Gallery-System and show them next to the local ablums and pictures of the website in the same style and css.
here the detailed description by the deveopener of phoca gallery, how this integration normaly works, please look here:
http://www.phoca.cz/documents/2-phoca-gallery-component/443-displaying-facebook-albums
So, easy to tell: U have to create an facebook-application, give phoca galery the usernamem & pw, App-ID and secret-nr and it gets the rest of the needed data automatically via facebook.
Then, you have to create an new category inside of the phoca galerysystem and define the Facebook-Album you want as source. this is finally the step, that doesnt work with my page. U have to select the choosen facebook user, this is working, but if I try to select an fb-album of this user, i just get following error:
Facebook API Failure: Unknown method (3)
Normaly, on most Systems its working, but there are a few systems, where its just not working. Have a look on this forum, a lot of people have the same error like me.

Developeners of Phoca tried to fix, but finally they started to tell the people, they should ask the developeners of facebook, because since now nobody was sucessfull to fix or just find the error.
So, this is now the try to tell u about this problem, maybe there is a way
Hopefully u are not just closing this, if anybody knows the problem and and have a fix, PLEASE tell

Not sure about phoca gallery, but I've developed a plugin for showing your Facebook albums (fanpage only) into your Joomla site. Thousands of people are using it successfully on their sites. It also has a WordPress version.
BTW, It's not free.

Venmo Deeplinking

I have been looking into how to venmo deeplinking schemes and am trying to open a user's account based on their username. I looked all over the internet for this and closest I came was this blog post. The person in the blog post is so close to achieving what I'm going for but I still can not figure it out. I tried changing up the "venmo://users" multiple times trying to open up a profile with a username but nothing has worked. How can I accomplish this?
Thank you in advance
I found a tricky way to finding out Venmo's deep link to a user's account. On this site https://app.urlgeni.us/ you can paste the URL you're trying to get the deep link for and it'll provide iOS and Android information.
Also, by reviewing how it works, it provides an API (https://app.urlgeni.us/api/internal/test_url) to which you must invoke (POST method) and it'll return the deep link, by sending a JSON input as the following:
{"url":"venmo.com//UserName"}
Response will include something like:
"android_scheme": "intent://user?user_id=XXXXXXX#Intent;package=com.venmo;scheme=venmo;end",
"ios_scheme": "venmo://users/XXXXXXX"

our fb comments plugin integration is not generating any fb activity feed entries..?

i'm not extremely involved in all the possibilites of a facebook integration - but the code configurator/params the comments plugins support, there is not very much room for mistakes/customization.
So i'm actually really wondering myself why our comments plugin is not generating any facebook activity?
i can write a new comment on our website just now:
and afterwards i can check my activity feed and still, the last entry is from march 18.
i can't find anything about that, there is no config param or anything to control this as far as i know or the docu tells me.. and i tought that this is really a thing that we should have out of the box..right?

Facebook showing page not found when sharing link

I'm sharing content from a website and every time I paste the link into Facebook it says 'page not found'.
Sometimes it works when I manually add the 'www.' in front of the URL in the address bar.
EXAMPLE
Shows page not found:
http://roundreviews.co.uk/reviews/speakers/native-union-monocle-speaker/
Works when you manually place www. in front:
www.roundreviews.co.uk/reviews/speakers/native-union-monocle-speaker/
I honestly have no I idea why it's doing this, any thoughts on how it can be fixed on the web side?
Also...
I have tried with the link below with both the www. and without yet it doesn't work with either of them, this is all very strange. This is the only link I have tried and it doesn't work with both:
www.roundreviews.co.uk/microphones/spark-digital-microphone/
Any help is much appreciated, thanks.
For me what it worked was to access the Facebook Debugger, as Goose said.
I saw that the scrape was about 12 hours ago, looks like it fetches the first time and saves it as caché or whatsoever...
What it worked for me is to debug the url, then click "fetch new scrape information" after the previous information has been shown.
Hope it works!
For those running across this today, you might find that you also need to verify your domain and link it to your page.
To do this you need to
Set up a Facebook Business Account
Add your page to the business account
Verify your domain (using DNS TXT or adding a page facebook gives you)
Under domains, connect your page as an asset of that domain

get facebook page full public photostream

there's only one similar question and it's not been answered. not for me at least.
There are public pages on Facebook, suppose i want to get their photostream ? their album pictures ?
I don't see how the Graph API allows me access since i can't get an access token, if i browse from my browser, NOT LOGGED IN, i can still see this public information, so how do i use the AI to access it.
BTW, i tried scrapping with python+mechanize and it's no go as if u get the regular we photo stream u get only partial, no all of it and the rest you need to scroll or to know how to build the same request the browser is building, but suprise suprise the JS doing the request is obfuscated pretty well...
Any help ?
in short it's not possible to do what i wanted annonymously, moreover at the moment, only some of the API works in the web site by accident only, if u are not logged in FB do not want to let u see any page and anyone, considering the last article about their cooperation with the US gov. it's not surprising.
In any case i just use grease money and FF to get a full page\album and then download the whole thing and i i need scrapping i'll do it on those pages with a script.
basically if i log in i can get a full page using the scripts in script monkey.... though script monkey is easier since he has the browser to parse all the data and works inside the browser...
I gave up after 3 weeks...

Need help - FB Like button does not post to wall

Hello fellow community members,
I was unable to find a helpful answer, so I will give this a try: I recently developed a website that has a FB "Recommend" (same as "Like") button implemented. I have never dealt with this before, hence my complete lack of knowledge.
Now, I implemented the code the FB developer's Like page (--> http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/) creates correctly into the website (both the script and the DIV-tag, yet something that is not automatically generated seems to be missing and needs to be added for the button to work correctly. It currently does not post to the FB wall.
Upon doing a debugging check, I received the following results: [...]
Unfortunately, I have no clue what to do with that data. How and where exactly in the HTML code do I implement those missing TAGS and PROPERTIES? Any help would be highly appreciated...
Kind regards & many thanks in advance, :-)
Doc
It looks like you're missing the Open Graph meta tags. Those go into the head of your page.
Facebook has a generator to help you create the tags, but you'll need to add them into your markup.
