I followed the directions to source the content of our paper, but regardless the publishing schedule (weekly) we can't see any of the posts we recently posted on our Facebook page.
Can you explain why?

  Hello,

  I am not seeing any recent content shared on your Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/ICCITradeMarketing/

  On your Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/ICCI-EventsNetworking-245109912357716/, I see that two videos were pulled into a recent edition of your paper. See http://paper.li/f-1473047845#!videos

  Regarding the images you shared on https://www.facebook.com/ICCI-EventsNetworking-245109912357716/, I am not sure why they were not pulled in, but I will check with a developer. I''ll provide an update on this thread asap. Thanks.

  Hi, Back with an update... I learned that when using Facebook as a source, we are able to pull in shared links to articles or links to videos (via youtube for example) but are not able to pull in images when they are uploaded directly to Facebook. :/ Sorry for this limitation!

  Hi Julia,

  sorry but I don't understand. The problem is that I'm not able to fetch my posts from Facebook. Any of them, regardless if they include images, videos or just text.
  I'm sure that I'm missing something, but I cannot understand what. Can you help me please?
  Thanks
  Elaine

  Hello,

  Sorry that I didn't give a clear explanation... The way our platform works generally is that we pull in content that's shared on Social Media (or from a website if the website has an RSS feed, which most do).

  In the case of twitter as a source, we don't pull in the actual tweet itself (although it can be seen if you click on the shared by icon under an article.) Rather, we pull in the link shared in the tweet to an image, article or video that is shared and present it on a paper in a readable format.

  For Facebook, similarly, we don't pull in the post itself but rather the link that is shared in a post to an image, video or article.

  That's why the videos you shared were pulled in. You can see them presented in your paper here: http://paper.li/f-1473047845#!videos but not the images.

  The other posts I see on your Facebook page are posts that include images that were uploaded directly to Facebook. I didn't see any links to articles going back one week (which is how far back we search for a weekly paper).

  What I was told was that at the moment, we are technically not able to pull in images that were uploaded to Facebook but that we may be able to develop that ability in the future. (It's been added to our task list for future development).

  Let me know if the above is a better explanation or if I can clarify further.
