I've been reading for HOURS looking for an answer to this. I have done EVERYTHING EXACTLY like the examples. Which are not consistent. In some places it shows the URL without the http://www. and other times it shows it with it. I typed mine exactly as it showed in the examples and it didn't work.

So I went back and made ALL of the domains the same http://www.mydomain.com and went through it all again.

THIS time I get this error when trying to post to FaceBook:
(#200) The user hasn't authorized the application to perform this action

Why is this so hard? So many people have the same issue. Everyone seems to have to provide their login information to have someone else help them. Maybe that's what I'll have to do too.

Please help.
Hello Pam,

Recently Facebook has changed their API for their apps. Can you download the attachment below and place it inside your /components/com_easyblog/classes/facebook folder and then re-authenticate the apps again and see how it goes?

If the problem still persist, kindly provide us with your Joomla backend, FTP access and Facebook access so we can help you with the issue directly. Please advise

Hello Pam Besteder.

Can provide the answer for Facebook security question? http://screen.stackideas.com/2015-05-06_1018.png

Did you already replace your helper.php file in .../components/com_easyblog/classes/facebook folder with ezrul's attachment file?

Looking forward for your reply

Hello Pam.

Can you replace this code in your helper.php file at .../components/com_easyblog/classes/facebook folder with ezrul's attachment file at line 65-- 72 ?

	public function getAuthorizationURL( $token , $autoSignIn = false , $display = 'page' )

	{

		$scope	= array(

							'publish_actions',		// Allows publishing content to stream

							'manage_pages',			// Allows managing user's pages.

							'user_groups',

							'user_status'			// Provides access to user status and checkins

						);


with this code

public function getAuthorizationURL( $token , $autoSignIn = false , $display = 'page' )

	{

		$scope	= array(

							'publish_actions',	// Allows publishing content to stream

							'manage_pages',	// Allows managing user's pages.

							'user_groups',

							'user_status',	// Provides access to user status and checkins.

							'publish_pages'	// Grant permission the ability to post, comment and like as any of the Pages managed by page owner.

						);


I can't do it because got permission issue when I tried to edit that file. http://screen.stackideas.com/2015-05-06_1157_001.png

Sorry....the permissions are updated now I think.

I'd be much more comfortable if you tried it again....I have no confidence in my ability to make this particular change.

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! IT works

Now I'll have to figure out how to set up my Twitter autoposting WITHOUT a mobile phone...because I don't text.

Any suggestions around that?

Hello Pam

I am really sorry because to create twitter app is required the mobile phone details from your twitter profile. That is Twitter security for prevent those user SPAM create the Twitter apps.
