[Facebook]

Welcome to the new and improved Facebook Initialize and Login by Locke Games. For the first time ever, this plugin is compatible with all other Facebook plugins free or commercial. This will make transitioning to our family of Facebook plugins an absolute breeze that can be done at your own pace. Error handling is also vastly improved over every previous version. Finally and the big clencher is the plugin is now for the very first time MINIFY FRIENDLY“.

FEATURES:

Initialize your application using all of the available initialization options.

Initializes the users experience based on their browsers set language preference.

–So if they are browsing Facebook using Leet Speak, than your app will also be showing them dialogs in Leet Speak.

You may now minify your Construct 2 App on export for a more secure app building experience.

Works with other Facebook Plugins

–So if you are using the Standard plugin by Scirra you can use this plugin to extend the core capabilities.

Log users into your application and returns a list of permissions they have actually granted your application that session.

Retrieve the complete listing of permissions they have granted and denied to your Facebook application.

Retrieve the session specific variables

-User ID

-Session expires in x number of seconds

-Access token for making graph API calls using other Facebook plugins or the standard Ajax plugin.

-Return the users browser language so you may code your own multi-language support.

Another perk of this plugin? If you purchase and utilize our Datepicker plugin, new features will be added. For example, rather then knowing the number of seconds until the access token expires, you can know the actual time the access token expires for the user. You can even decide how you want that delivered to you. For example a unix timestamp, or a human readable timestamp are both options available.

This plugin does not work on mobile exports(Sorry Phonegap folks). It does however work well with all other website versions of a Facebook plugin. So initialize with an older version of my plugin or the current Scirra Facebook plugin and use my plugin just for the login and permission info if you really want.

Hi Lanceal, this looks very promising.

However if I am to buy your addon I need to know if this is possible:

I want to be able display a comments box for every level of my game.

To do that I need to pass some sort of a level ID to Facebook so that it knows what the particular comment box is about.

Could you provide a screenshot of the comments box functionality and describe how it is used in C2?

Does this work through CocoonJS? If so, I may consider getting it..

pirx yes you can, all you need to do is add a parameter to the URL ie level 1

—

I honestly don't know. I've never tested it. I can never seem to get cocoonjs to work for me. My gut tells me , no. But I just don't know.

pirx

Here are the settings. Each instance is setup to accept their own properties. By default a like box is populated. To change it to a comment box you would click on socialboxtype and select in order 1:Reset 2:Comment box. This will bring you the settings shown below. The only settings for a comment box are url, number of posts, colorscheme, and order of posts. To make a different box for each level, layout, monster...... you would just add a parameter to the url such as ?level=1. The order of posts can be social relevance, time, or reverse time. That controls how the comments are shown. The number of posts would be the number of comments people can see at the start(They can opt to view more) Finally colorsheme is dark or light. This can be useful if you have an overall dark layout or light layout(so it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb)

The other great thing is unless people uncheck "Also post on Facebook", the comment is posted on their wall through a clickable link directing them to the url linked above. Great way to generate interest in your app.

Hi lanceal,

I'm implementing your plugin and so far it is going well.

I see how adding a parameter to the url changes the contents of the comments box. That's great, but how do I change the url while in game?

I need something like a dynamic SET URL action to be able to change the comment box when a level changes in my game.

— is your plugin working with Intel XDK? If so, do you have some instructions on how to integrate them with XDK? Thanks

To be honest, I do not know about compatibility with any mobile platform other than phonegap. I'm currently working on expanding the language capabilities in the plugin. Once I'm done I will begin to look into adding support for other platforms. Just be aware that with the new facebook api, some items will not work from a mobile app(c: drive or Localhost). Well it will work but you might need to take additional steps to implement.

— Ok , but nobody uses Phonegap here on Scirra...since XDK has such a better performance, And Ashley will deprecate export to old XDk

Cipriux I understand the point you are making. There are a few who use Phonegap and it was a relatively easy addition to make so I added it. As I have said, I will be looking into adding other exporters after I finish expanding the language capabilities. I don't have a time frame as of yet but my outward guess is the beginning of next week I will be looking into the other mobile platforms.

hi lanceal,

is there a trial version of this plugin to test it before purchasing it??
