Hello.

I would like to import facebook posts by the social feed plugin, but the articles have to be always featured. How can I do this?

Hi giusti2,

The feeds are not always look good so it should be modified before being set it to featured.

JA Social Feeds does not provide this function by default. You need to customize a bit

Open
pluginssystemjasocial_feedtablesjoomla.php

and set $item[‘featured’] = ‘1’; on line 66

If you use K2 you can set the same $item[‘featured’] = ‘1’; on line 78 in file pluginssystemjasocial_feedtablesk2.php

Hope it helps,

Regards

Hi Again Wall Crasher :).

Thanks for your help, but does not work.

I made the change in joomla.php an set $item[‘featured’] To 1 … imported with social feed and now I see that all articles are featured.

Problem:

I don’t see the article on the frontpage … I have first to open the article and save it, after that I see the article also on the frontpage.

Do you have also here an idea?

Hi giusti2,

Sorry, I miss this code.

Please replace
return @$this->table->store();

to


if(@$this->table->store()){
$db = $this->getDbo();
$query = $db->getQuery(true);
$query->insert($db->quoteName('#__content_frontpage'));
$query->values($this->table->get('id') . ', 0');
$db->setQuery($query);
$db->execute();

return true;
}
return false;


Regards

Thanks for your message, but I do not find the code to replace (return @$this->table->store();). Do you know where it is?

Hi Wall Crasher.

I made the same site with Joomla 3 and JA Wall.
I made also your changes like described above, but something does not work.

When the articles are imported by social feed, I see the articles already FEAUTERED in the Admin Panel (that is great), but not on the Front Page. I have to feature all the articles manually again.

Do you maybe have an idea?

Thanks

Giusti

Hi Wall Crasher. The hack for featured articles works no more with joomla 3. Do you maybe have an alternative idea? Thanks in advance and best regards. Giusti
