Hi,
Have setup easy Discuss, very easy to do! Posting to my facebook page when I ask a question, and if I start the question with a tag, posts the tag into the facebook page.

I need to make sure that all the questions post a tag, so where can I add the tag in the code so it posts automatically?

i.e. - where can I find somewhere to stay? will post #mytag Where can I find somewhere to stay?

I'd also like to post responses and answers to facebook too, how can I edit the code to do this?

Many thanks,

Derek
Hello Derek,

I am sorry but unfortunately it is not possible to submit tags to Facebook in the auto posting features. Currently, the auto posting functionality only works with "new discussions". It is not possible to auto post replies currently.

I want to add the tag to the beginning of each post to facebook. Where in the php code is the section that creates the post to facebook so I can add my tag i.e.

$post=$whatevervariableisused;
$facebookpost="#mytag".$post;

Cheers,

Derek

Hello Derek,

Take a look at the file /components/com_easydiscuss/classes/facebook/helper.php in the share method.
