Some status Facebook posts with links to Facebook events are not displayed correctly #36

Some status Facebook posts with links to Facebook events are not displayed correctly because information about the event to which they are linked is missing. See this bug report. Links to Facebook events are problematic anyway because graph API results are missing data about which link they are pointing to when graph API is used to search or read feeds. You have to access post information directly to get information about link to the event. And then from that link parse event ID. And fetch the event itself to be able to display link to that event. But even all that is not always true and there are some posts which do not have link information even when accessed directly through graph API.

(For some we can reconstruct link if the link was left in the post message content. Although this could introduce some errors if message content was changed to some other event link after the initial event link was set on the post.)
