Can't post open graph to facebook
31 CommentsSorted by Oldest First
Adnaan, You still have not fixed the error. You need to remove the "s" from "products". It should only be "product".
Hi, I changed it to products on facebook. See attached screenshot.
Is going to this link supposed to pop an authentication window asking for username and password? http://baas.kinvey.com/rpc/kid_VV6bhk7MNq/patadeali:add/53580edf239cd57c2104513d/patadeali:products/_objView.html
I'm stuck on why the og:type is beign returned as "website"

I think I know what the issue is. I fed the URL through the facebook debugger and got this error:
'http://baas.kinvey.com/rpc/kid_VV6bhk7MNq/patadeali:add/53580edf239cd57c2104513d/patadeali:products/_objView.html' of type 'patadeali:products' is invalid because the given value 'Product_27da115c-c988-4385-b2f9-fb8ba7fb2fc8_IMAGE.png' for property 'og:image:url' could not be parsed as type 'url'.
What is the imageURL as stored in Kinvey?? I'm just using the filename as shown in the CityWatch example:
ent.setImageURL(filename);

This path for the product image doesn't work as it asks for a username/password hence the image is not displayed on the facebook post. (see attachments). Please help....

This sounds like a permissions issue. What is the current setting for your [collection-level permissions](http://devcenter.kinvey.com/android/guides/security#Collectionlevelpermissions "collection-level permissions")?
It's on Shared
Hi,
Any update on this issue? This seems like a bug in your system as Facebook needs a URL for the image (starting with http://) and Kinvey supports only image filenames. At least the examples that are given in the tutorial use filenames and not full image URLs. Hence if there is some logic to determine the image URL after it is uploaded then please let me know.
You can verify this issue by going to the URL generated by you for Facebook scrapping. You will get this error:
'http://baas.kinvey.com/rpc/kid_VV6bhk7MNq/patadeali:add/53580edf239cd57c2104513d/patadeali:products/_objView.html' of type 'patadeali:products' is invalid because the given value 'Product_27da115c-c988-4385-b2f9-fb8ba7fb2fc8_IMAGE.png' for property 'og:image:url' could not be parsed as type 'url'.
Thanks,
Adnaan

Hey,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
This does look like a bug in the CityWatch code, I will push a fix out as soon as I can.
In the meantime, there are two changes required.
First, modify how the file is uploaded to use a `FileMetadata` object and `setPublic(true)`. Then, within the onSuccess block, set the imageURL of the entity to match the downloadURL from the upload operation.
These changes are in the saveImage() method of CityWatchEditDetailsFragment.java
FileMetaData meta = new FileMetaData(filename);
meta.setPublic(true);
InputStream inputStream=new ByteArrayInputStream(stream.toByteArray());
kinveyClient.file().upload(meta, inputStream, new MetaUploadProgressListener() {
@Override
public void progressChanged(MediaHttpUploader uploader) throws IOException {
//To change body of implemented methods use File | Settings | File Templates.
}
@Override
public void onSuccess(Void result) {
Log.i(TAG, "image saved successfully");
ent.setImageUrl(getMetadata().getDownloadURL());
saveEntity();
}

Thanks Edwards. We are getting close :smiley:
The only issue now is that getMetaData().getDownloadURL() returns null

The main debug line got jumbled above:
04-28 15:42:20.650: I/Facebook(9052): 'image saved successfully imageURL:null'
04-28 15:42:20.650: I/Facebook(9052): 'image saved successfully imageURL:null'
Any idea on why getMetadata().getDownloadURL() returns a null above? Is there another call to get the url for the image?
try `getMetadata().getUploadURL()` instead, sorry about that!
Nope, that returns a null too...
can you visit console.kinvey.com and ensure the file is properly uploaded? It will appear in the file addon
