Hi there,

Currently it is how it behave as 'only me' is set to not shown to others and that is private streams. For it main purpose, why we wanted to share them to the whole world, as it is private things. Does that make sense?

Hope this helps

Hi Abdul,

The issue is how it currently behaves. I agree the 'only me' option should not show to others, as it's a private stream. I use it when I don't want anyone else to see my post in the EasySocial stream or in the Fb stream.

My issue is that it is not getting autoposted to the Fb stream when selecting "Only Me," as is implied when a User selects that option. Checking the automatic post to Fb check box and the "Share" option (whichever one), should post to Fb with the "selected option" respected in the Fb post.

I'm attaching an example where the "Everyone" share option gets posted in the ES stream for Everyone to view but in Fb for only Friends to view. I would think a user would expect the Fb post to be viewable by Everyone, i.e. the Public.

Am I not understanding how the auto-post to Fb option should work?

Regards,
Joshua

Hi there,

It is respecting the nature of the privacy itself actually. As 'only me' is choose, it wont be share on Facebook as it should not be viewed by others, as when you share it, those stream will be available on the Facebook, and it will shown you to all people those stream. It should not be private anymore. And also questions need to ask ourselves, why we need share things that we wanted to hide them from everyone. It should not works that way.

By the way, if you are required to share that somehow, you can do some modifications on this files .../media/com_easysocial/apps/user/facebook/facebook.php and change to codes below and see how it goes

//line 158

if ($streamObj->access > 40) {

			return;

		}

Note:
You have to re-apply this fixes again once there are update on this apps as this is consider customization and it will be overwritten once you have update this apps

Thanks for your understanding

Hello,

I've changed who can see my site posts on my Fb Timeline to Only Me and retested.
1) I've verified that currently a site posting to Only Me will not get shared with Fb, even though the automatic share to Fb checkbox is checked.
2) A site posting using a selection other than Only Me will get shared on the site as selected and the share with Fb will be shared with Only Me.

It still makes since, to me, that if a user checks the automatic share with Fb check box, then they would expect that the post be shared according to their selection when authorizing the auto-share to Fb app, regardless of the site posting selection.

Anyway, now that I understand the functionality and what to expect, we can close this issue.

Joshua
