I use the JA Social Feed Plugin with Facebook in the JA Minisite template and it worked very well. Is exactly what I was looking for. But when I only have a video in the Facebook post it will display an image with "?".

I think this is a failure in the plugin. Maybe it has to differ if the main image is an image or a video.

Otherwise if there is no image in the post it should be possible to define a standard image which will be displayed (or leave it blank for no image to display).

Hi @noffy,

You can update the admin login info of your site so we can have a look and check for you.

Hi noffy,

I tried to import from that FB page but it always get images correctly. Could you try to remove these articles (which have image with question mark) and configure the FB profile in JA Social feed plugin like this screenshot? http://prntscr.com/e0ipmw

Then run the cron job again.

Regards

Hi Saguaros,

these settings will change nothing. All posts with an image will still imported correctly. Only posts with an VIDEO will have the "?"-image as result. Therefore I think the extension does not differences between image and video. It still tries to display the video with an img-Tag. The result is the img-Tag.

It’s the same for se JA slideshow extension. It only knows images and no videos.

Maybe you check these extensions and give them the possibility to differ between images and videos.

regards.

Hi noffy,

FB limits the imported feeds each time you run the cron (only 20 items) so I can’t see the issue, could you post a new feed into above FB page so I can check?

Which slideshow are you referring to? If it’s JA Slideshow module, it can support images only, not video.

Regards

Hi.

You could try this.
Edit the file /plugins/system/jasocial_feed/jasocial_feed.php
Look for line :321

$dt->desc      = '';

Add this under.

$dt->type      = $item->type;

Look around line 425:

$post['source_images'] = $this->getFacebookImage('<img src="'.$dt->img.'" />',$img_caption, $img_caption);

add this above

if ($dt->type == 'video') {
                        $dt->img = 'https://graph.facebook.com/'.preg_replace('/^(.*?)_/','',$dt->id).'/picture';
                    }

And for now we can only get small thumbnail of video post in public mode without access token.
