Seems to be broken again #1

Closed michaelwschultz closed 11 years ago

Page albums are still working, but personal albums are unable to be viewed.

phil-w commented 11 years ago

Indeed. Worked perfectly yesterday, but today they seem to have stopped it running. The http://graph.facebook.com/ request is returning nothing at all, just times out I think.

phil-w commented 11 years ago

Fixed again now... an FB problem perhaps?

michaelwschultz commented 11 years ago

Still not working for me. Does this plugin ONLY work for Facebook Pages and not Personal Profiles?

apumapho commented 11 years ago

The plugin only reliably works with Facebook Pages that contain photo album which are public. It will not work consistently with personal albums. Facebook mucks around frequently with the permissions and access to personal profile albums, and until (unless?) things become more stable and better documented, you're probably best to avoid using the plugin except for albums associated with pages.

Sounds good @apumapho. Thanks. I guess it would be nice if this was more clear in the documentation, or even in the title of the plugin.

Fair enough.

I'm not sure precisely what the difference between a "personal album" and a "page album which is public" is. I'm trying to show pictures from a Facebook page, which contains an album which is public. Should that work, or should it not? It seems to work at the moment. I appreciate this is FB mucking around, but I have complete control over this FB page so if I can figure out what works, then I can do it that way, but I'm not completely sure what I need to do..

It should work for both but Facebook permissions have been very fussy lately. Glad to hear it's working now for you. Let's keep monitoring the situation (until Facebook breaks permissions again!)
