I still can't see how this mod can work on a fan/business page at all, you must have a profile attached for the app to work.

It is probably just a setting, but struggling here.

Re: X-Cart Facebook automation module

Well it works, I needed to redo the token as well, that sorted it :D

Bad news is we are back to the business page problem.

To have the app, you must have a profile. You cannot have a profile on a business page apparently.

So I have added a personal account as admin to the page to get round this.

You cannot use the app when logged into facebook on the business account.

You must sign out, then sign in again on the personal account.

The app will then work, but it posts to the wall of the personal account, not the fan page.

Dongan, you do state it will work in a business page, can you, or anyone tell me how this can be done :D

Thanks

Re: X-Cart Facebook automation module

Hi Guy,

Let me try to explain in detail.

Yes. You need to create an app using your business profile (Login) one time and Configure it. Yes. You can post the updates in your wall of a business page, not on the wall of an app page.

The reason why we allow to create an individual app for every user is "in future when we add more features, it is easier + these updates will appear in Facebook Global search results that will increase your product visibility".

My facebook account for my business has a wall for the profile, a wall for a page and a wall for the app so I would prefer to get rid of the app and just market via the page as this seems to be far more popular than asking people to connect to an app, especially with all the security fears going around.

Thanks Dongan

Also, the way I see Facebook being presented to me is that an 'app' is listed with apps whilst 'page's are listed with other pages, they are different things.

Since I last approached the use of this mod I have seen an increasing amount of news and concern about security issues with apps gathering profile data from people so I dont see marketing on FaceBook with an app is going to gather as many followers as a safe, straight forward page.

Can I not point this publishing mod to publish to my existing page? I have seen a number of site or device apps out there which simply allow you to post to a profile or better still, a page.

Essentially what I am asking is, if I have existing pages that have lots of likes, this is where I would want to publish all my x-cart store news to, not have to create a new 'app' / 'page' thing to then have to start again gathering 'likes' from everyone.

Thanks

Guy
