Got the plugin to work yay!

This is what the facebook feed looks like:
http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?id=201090053973&format=rss20

I want the joomla article title to be the same as the title in the feed. However there are only two options in the plugin, author name and custom. Could there be a third option? Face book title?

In the JA Social demo it has the correct title.

Also the caption is cut off after 5 words. Could this be longer? Like maybe two or three sentences?

And one more question.
The thumbnails have links that go to facebook, is there a way that those links can be opened in a new window?
Or could they be opened in a lightbox or something?

@Nazario A

Yay Titles kinda work.
Close, but no cigar!

So technically it is working perfectly, it is pulling the text from the feed and using it as joomla article title.
In reality however, some characters need to be parsed. Have a look at the example below

Examples:

Title on Joomla article:

Lovin' it!81 YEAR OLD CRAZY STRENGTH!!Frank
Should be Lovin

Timeline Photos”Why a ballet dancer never
Should be: Timeline Photos “Why a ballet

Seth's Blog: What does, “it's too
Should be: Seth’s Blog: What does, “it’s too

For some reason facebook doesn’t like ‘ or ” so far. There might be other characters, these are just the one I have come across.

Thanks for adding the title functionality, it just needs to go a step further.

Here is the feed in case you want to check it:
https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?id=201090053973&format=rss20

Here is the blog to compare:

To resolve this issue, please open the plugins/system/jasocial_feed/jasocial_feed.php file, find the code below which is inside the code block of cutTitleFromContent function:

[PHP]$content = strip_tags($content);[/PHP]

And replace it with:[PHP]
$content = strip_tags($content);
$content = htmlspecialchars_decode($content);[/PHP]

Hope it helps.
