Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
April 1, 20178 yr Purchased and installed, I'm very excited about this as I have been trying to campaign for this to be made. I can't seem to change the social tabs colour, it just stays wait on my theme. You can check this via my sites test page Newbie if you would like to look? Also, can you please provide details on how to set it up fully via the install download? I think other users will find this useful. I have setup YouTube and Twitter without any problem but I cannot get Instagram or Facebook to accept my IDs etc
April 2, 20178 yr Author Hello, I can't seem to change the social tabs colour, it just stays wait on my theme. Use the setting "Use background" Result Also, can you please provide details on how to set it up fully via the install download? What do you want to know? Some services work with API credentials only. Go to ACP - Plugins - (NB41) Social Count Fans - Settings You can omit "Custom background" and "Custom FA icon" to use default values. Example or Facebook Check Facebook Client Id. It should be number. It's simular as https://invisionpower.com/4guides/how-to-use-ips-community-suite/social-sign-in/facebook-r220/ App ID and App Secret I cannot get Instagram You need to fill the setting on ACP Instagram access token Click on Get access token You will be redirect to main page. The url will be looks like domain.ltd/access_token=TOKEN Copy TOKEN Quick guide how to create an app 1. Go to https://www.instagram.com/developer/clients/manage/ 2. Register a new client 3. Fill the fileds 4. On security tab uncheck Disable implicit OAuth Edited April 2, 20178 yr by newbie LAC
April 3, 20178 yr Check Facebook Client Id. It should be number. It's simular as https://invisionpower.com/4guides/how-to-use-ips-community-suite/social-sign-in/facebook-r220/ App ID and App Secret Can I use the same application as the one I have setup to allow FB login integration? Also, I assume the page name is the username? For some reason, I still can't manage to get FB to set up. Click on Get access token You will be redirect to main page. The url will be looks like domain.ltd/access_token=TOKEN Copy TOKEN Quick guide how to create a app 1. Go to https://www.instagram.com/developer/clients/manage/ 2. Register a new client 3. Fill the fileds 4. On security tab uncheck Disable implicit OAuth Likewise with Instagram, however I am wondering if it's due to still being in 'sandbox mode'. Also, do I need to request any permissions?
April 3, 20178 yr Maybe detailed instructions for each service would help. I only got Twitter to work. No luck with Facebook or YouTube. And since there is no error reporting for the API calls I have no clue what to do differently.
April 4, 20178 yr Author Can I use the same application as the one I have setup to allow FB login integration? If you want. Also, I assume the page name is the username? For some reason, I still can't manage to get FB to set up. Facebook changed API. I fixed on your forum. I need some time to update the plugin. Also, do I need to request any permissions? No. Maybe detailed instructions for each service would help I'll try. No luck with Facebook There is a bug. Read above YouTube Go to https://console.developers.google.com/ Create new project Go to https://console.developers.google.com/apis/dashboard?project=social-count-fans Click on ENABLE API Click on YouTube Data API Click on ENABLE Click on Create credentials Click on API key Click on Create (Optional) Click on HTTP referrers and add your forum domain Copy API key, go to ACP and add it in "Youtube API key". And since there is no error reporting for the API calls I have no clue what to do differently. It's a bug. Widget form doesn't respect errors. I can log them or show to admins under widget.
April 4, 20178 yr I still can't figure out why Instagram won't work. I followed your instructions @newbie LAC and nothing.
April 5, 20178 yr Author I still can't figure out why Instagram won't work. I followed your instructions @newbie LAC and nothing. Hello, There is a bug in a plugin. I fixed founded bugs and I'll upload new version coming soon
April 19, 20178 yr I just bought this plugin. Only Twitter is working... Facebook, Instagram, Youtube and Google+ I can't make it work. If anyone did, help would be appreciated. Thanks
April 19, 20178 yr Author I just bought this plugin. Only Twitter is working... Facebook, Instagram, Youtube and Google+ I can't make it work. If anyone did, help would be appreciated. Thanks Hello, Have you created applications for services?
April 19, 20178 yr Hello, Have you created applications for services? I have login handlers for facebook, google, instagram, twitter, linkedin, paypal, instagram... I followed the instructions above for youtube but it didn't work since it asks for the user channel link and not for the application id or the application secret. The same for the other social networks, except Twitter which is working well.
April 19, 20178 yr it asks for the user channel link and not for the application id or the application secret. Those are different things. The API key needs to be set in the ACP for the plugin, so it can call via the API. The channel ID is being set in the widget to specify which channel data to pull. That being said, I still can’t get it to work either. Google reports “client error (4xx)” in the developer console.
April 19, 20178 yr Got it working now somehow. Another question: How is the Feedly function supposed to be used? If I add a feedly URL https://feedly.com/i/subscription/feed/https… it doesn’t work. If I add my IPS RSS feed directly, it works and reports the Feedly followers, but it doesn’t link to Feedly but to the RSS feed directly, so I can’t gain any Feedly followers this way. Is that intentional?
April 20, 20178 yr I also got Facebook to work... and Twitter is still ok of course. Nothing else is working.
April 20, 20178 yr Author Hello, If I add a feedly URL https://feedly.com/i/subscription/feed/https… it doesn’t work. You should add a link without https://feedly.com part. If I add my IPS RSS feed directly, it works and reports the Feedly followers, but it doesn’t link to Feedly but to the RSS feed directly, so I can’t gain any Feedly followers this way. Is that intentional? Looks like a bug. I'll change the link. Nothing else is working. Any errors? I wrote instruction for youtube here https://invisionpower.com/forums/topic/436877-nb41-social-count-fans/?do=findComment&comment=2685441 For G+ it will be similar (you can use the same application) For instagram https://invisionpower.com/forums/topic/436877-nb41-social-count-fans/?do=findComment&comment=2685204
April 24, 20177 yr @newbie LAC I still can't get Instagram to work, I followed the steps mentioned in the latest upgrade but it still doesn't show. -Edit... Somehow now YouTube has disappeared and when I re-added service to the widget that no longer shows. Edited April 24, 20177 yr by Joey_M
April 25, 20177 yr Author Hello, @newbie LAC I still can't get Instagram to work, I followed the steps mentioned in the latest upgrade but it still doesn't show. See the setting "Instagram access token". Value is not url https://prideofnottingham.co.uk/access_token=%TOKEN% I changed. Result you can see on your test page.
April 25, 20177 yr Hello, See the setting "Instagram access token". Value is not url https://prideofnottingham.co.uk/access_token=%TOKEN% I changed. Result you can see on your test page. When using the metro style, would there be a way to make the 4th social channel the full size (as Facebook is on my test page?) so that it fills the white space @newbie LAC
April 25, 20177 yr Author When using the metro style, would there be a way to make the 4th social channel the full size (as Facebook is on my test page?) so that it fills the white space @newbie LAC Yes. I'll fix it in next release.
May 7, 20177 yr Is there a way to use this outside the drag-and-drop areas? I would like to put it in my custom footer and created a Social count block in the ACP. If I add it as custom block to a drag-and-drop area through the sidebar manager it works – but if I call the block in a template or another block like {block="social-count"} it returns nothing.
May 8, 20177 yr Author Hello, but if I call the block in a template or another block like {block="social-count"} it returns nothing. Because output depends on configuration. By default there are no services. Is there a way to use this outside the drag-and-drop areas? I think you can use php to call the widget
May 8, 20177 yr Because output depends on configuration. By default there are no services. I've set up the services (while creating the block in the ACP) and the block works. It just doesn’t work when called through {block="…"}.
May 8, 20177 yr Author I've set up the services (while creating the block in the ACP) and the block works. It just doesn’t work when called through {block="…"}. Give me some time to check
May 8, 20177 yr Author I've set up the services (while creating the block in the ACP) and the block works. It just doesn’t work when called through {block="…"}. It's a core issue and related with "orientation". applications/cms/sources/Blocks/Block.php public static function display( $block, $orientation=NULL ) When you use {block} tag you can't pass orientation variable. Solution Open plugins/nb41socialcountfans/widgets/nbSocialCountFans.php Find and comment if ($this->orientation != 'vertical') { return ''; } or change to if (isset($this->orientation) and $this->orientation != 'vertical') { return ''; } Edited May 8, 20177 yr by newbie LAC
