rebraf Posted December 19, 2020 Posted December 19, 2020 (edited) This is the support topic for the Instagram and Facebook oEmbed plugin. Edited December 19, 2020 by rebraf
omgenghis Posted December 19, 2020 Posted December 19, 2020 So I created an app and added the oembed product. I put in the App ID and App Secret in the plugin, but it's not working. Is there anything additional I need to add to the Facebook Developer App?
rebraf Posted December 19, 2020 Author Posted December 19, 2020 https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/oembed Requirements a Facebook Developer account, which you can create at developers.facebook.com a registered Facebook app the oEmbed Product added to the app an Access Token The Facebook app must be in Live Mode Make sure you’ve followed the requirements on Facebook’s end. You need the developer app, but he oembed product added to it, and the app must be in “live mode”. If you’ve checked all this and it’s still not working, please let me know what error you are getting if any. Also, check the System Logs in the AdminCP and let me know if any errors are being registered when you try to paste an appropriate Facebook or Instagram link.

So excited to get this in motion! @rebraf I purchased the plugin and tried setting up all the criteria in FB developer app, but I still didn't have any luck getting IG embeds to show. I think the part I'm stuck in is creating the Instagram App ID. It's asking me for this information in FB and I'm not sure what to put:
rebraf Posted December 20, 2020 Author Posted December 20, 2020 Do you have a Facebook developer account set up? Are you being required to set up Facebook login, which is where OAuth redirect URIs come into play? You could try setting (siteurl)/oauth/token/index.php for the redirect URI.

I've set up all the required items in the list above, and it's still not working. I'm probably missing something in the app I created, , but I can't figure it out. There aren't any errors in the system log.
rebraf Posted December 20, 2020 Author Posted December 20, 2020 Go ahead and send me a PM with ACP and FTP access and I’ll check it out to see what’s wrong. Thanks.

Yes I have a FB developer account set up :] Here's what it looks like: I'm not quite sure what you mean with this: You could try setting (siteurl)/oauth/token/index.php for the redirect URI. I tried this URL: https://www.breatheheavy.com/exhale/oauth/token/index.php But it's also asking me to fill more fields out. 3 hours ago, omgenghis said: I've set up all the required items in the list above, and it's still not working.

Haha sorry. Just updated my post previous to this one. I got it working by making the IG and FB ids in the plugin settings the same :]]] Thank you thank you! @Kjell Iver Johansen And thank you @rebraf for making this!

omgenghis Posted December 21, 2020 Posted December 21, 2020 Is Facebook Login required for this to work? If not, I'd rather not add it to my site.

This plugin allows you to paste Instagram and/or Facebook links and have them embed automatically in your community. This functionality used to work out of the box, however Facebook (who also own Instagram) made changes on their end that makes this more complicated now. 6 hours ago, omgenghis said: Is Facebook Login required for this to work?

Robert222 Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 What does this app actually do? Can anyone provide a LIVE view?
maddog107_merged Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 Can anyone confirm if it works with 4.4.x?

b416 Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 Well, I installed it, it seems to do something (i.e. it says the video has been embedded, but.... the video doesn't show up, only the description (the blue frame is because I clicked in the empty space ) :
Jordan Miller Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 Hey @rebraf! Interesting turn of events. The Instagram embeds show still, but they all look like this now (see below). Wondering if that's happening to you? We are still a little ways a way from 4.6 (which includes this IG and FB embed fix) so I'd love to see if we can find an answer sooner than later haha 😆 Let me know what you think!

Do you have any extensions or add-ons to your browser to block tracking or something similar? I had Duck Duck Go installed in Google Chrome, and once I turned that off I could see Instagram posts fine. I just checked this morning and had no problems. I was originally confused since I could see the IG posts fine on my phone but not in my browser.
