I installed both Media Facebook, Facebook Connect and emfield. I setup a new content type and tried to embed my first album/image from facebook. When making a new posting, I've tried both putting a link to the album, wall, direct image under emfield area "Enter the URL or Embed Code here. The embedded third party content will be parsed and displayed appropriately from this. The following services are provided: Facebook"

It doesn't matter what link I try to put in, I always get the same error: "You have specified an invalid media URL or embed code."

The album/images I'm trying to embed are here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=17446&id=100001491116922&l=79821faa72

What is the correct embed code? There's no documentation for this module, so I'm a little unclear if this is a bug, or if I'm just doing it wrong.

Thanks,

-Andy

Never mind, doesn't work with personal profiles, only pages. Which is fine, I would rather pull the images from the business page vs. the personal profile anyway :-).

It should work with Personal Pages (it does for http://ratemytree.co.uk/ for which it was developed)...

When you pair your user account with a Facebook account (via FBConnect's OAuth), which permissions does it ask for?

Nicholas, I'm not sure, I've already paired the account... Is there a way for me to check? Is there a setting in my FB app I should check? I can setup up a new user account and pair it, but let me know if there's something I should change on the FB side, I don't think it asked for any special permissions when linking the account.

Also, is there a way for me to pull an album feed with this? That would be really helpful, right now I have to post every image individually as they come in, which can be time consuming.

BTW, thanks for making this app, before I had to save each image on my hard drive and upload them to our site. This is way better, thanks :-)!

I've installed emfield, fbconnect, media_facebook and media_image_flotsam, configured emfield and fbconnect as instructed, but only the images from media_image_flotsam providers showed up. I can log in to my site (at localhost) through my facebook account but after pasting the image link got from my facebook profile, no image showed up, nor did any error messages. Have I missed anything?
