Creating a Facebook App for Importing Posts
In this video, I will demonstrate how to create a Facebook app using the CB o matic plugin to import posts from Facebook groups. This plugin allows you to import posts from groups that you are an administrator of or any person listed in the app’s roles as an administrator. To create a new app, simply click on the “Create New App” button and provide a name for your app. After creating the app ID and entering the CAPTCHA, remember to keep the app in development mode and not make it public.
Next, go to the “Settings Basic” section to retrieve the app ID and secret. Please note that the latest version of the plugin requires two sets of app ID and secret. The first set is used for importing posts, while the second set is used for exporting posts. Enter the credentials accordingly based on your desired actions. Keep in mind that these fields are optional, but they help differentiate the importing and exporting tasks to Facebook.
Now, let’s move on to creating an access key. Click on “Tools Access” and search for the newly created app. Grant the necessary permissions and copy the user token generated for you. Paste this token in the access token field and save the settings. In the Facebook section, select the group ID that you are an administrator of, and paste it in the designated field. Save the settings, and now you can run the import process. As you can see, the plugin successfully imported the posts from the selected group.
If you want to import posts from pages that you are not an administrator of, you can use the app ID and secret as credentials. In this case, you do not need an access token. The plugin supports both methods to import posts from various pages and groups. Stay tuned for future updates on Facebook API and this useful plugin. Until then, goodbye!
Accessing the App ID and Secret for Importing and Exporting
To access the App ID and Secret for importing and exporting, you will need to create a new app. Simply click on the ”create new app” button and give it a name. After clicking “create app ID” and entering the CAPTCHA, you will have successfully created the app. Remember to keep the app in development mode and not make it public.
Next, navigate to the “settings basic” section to find and copy the app ID and secret. Please note that in the latest version of the plugin, you will have two sets of app ID and secret. The first set is used for importing, while the second set is used for exporting. You can enter these credentials in the designated fields, but please note that they are optional.
To create an access key, click on the “tools access token tool” and search for the app you just created. Grant permission by clicking “need to grant permission” and continue. Search for the app once again and copy the user token generated for you. Paste this token in the access token field and save the settings.
Now, you can go to Facebook to select the group ID that you are an administrator of. Paste the ID in the specified field and save the settings. This will enable the plugin to import posts from the groups you manage. If you want to import from pages that you are not an administrator of, you can use the app ID and secret credentials, and no access token will be needed. These two methods are available in the plugin to import from different pages and groups that you manage.
Generating an Access Token for Importing Posts
