I noticed the FB tab on some posts.

I looked on FB for JT but

Will JT have a page on FB like some others in the future?


Thanks,
Jim

Try looking again. Jeep Talk has one but it's empty. We have the facility for members to connect to Jeep Talk via their FB account. I have to look at this when I have time.

As of now you can share a topic or post to your FB account by clicking on the FB icon.

If anyone would like to volunteer to maintain JeepTalk.net's Facebook page let us know. Page will need to be configured with a basic write up. Please let us know if you know how to get around Facebook, should not be too hard. Updating once a week with some quick maintenance should be enough. When you are no longer able we would appreciate passing the project once it is setup instructing another on the workings.

We have now configured JeepTalk with a Facebook API. What does this mean?

1. We needed to create a quick Jeep Talk account and a Jeeptalk.net page. Jim B took care of this in a basic manner since his knowledge of FB is very limited.

2. By Jeep Talk having and API key we were able to sync it to with Facebook members that are also members of Jeep Talk.

3. You will now see inside the Sign In box an F icon. If a member wishes to sync their FB account with their JeepTalk account click on the FB icon to login instead. You will receive instructions how to link your account. By doing this you now can switch from your FB account to your JT account seemliness. If your email address and member name on JeepTalk is different than your FB account be sure to have this information when you first do the setup.

4. What are the benefits of doing this? The benefits are to you the user. You can share content from the forum on your Facebook pages, you can have your status updates pulled to the forum, push forum status to FB, pull FB Avatar/photo, etc and.. It's a real quick one-click login of the F icon on the Sign In box.

We have not tested this. Let us know how it works.

Our Facebook account is Jeep Talk, our Page is JEEPTALK.net. Please go to the page first and not our account to friend yourself and be part of the community. If you wish to friend yourself to the account as well feel free to do so.

We would like to give Admin login to the jeeptalk.net FB page to someone who can volunteer to maintain and dress up the page a bit. For this kind gesture we will give away free of charge a Premium Membership with Gallery to the Jeep Talk member. If someone is already a premium member we would increase their storage capacity all around. Thank you for considering.

Have fun,
Admin

What a nice way to say that I'm pretty much clueless when it comes to FB.

I don't see why this would not be possible once the JeepTalk.net Facebook is completed by some talented individual. (not me)

[LadyJeffson]

I have put up some pics on the community page and as time goes by, I will put up more. I wrote a few things on the basic info. as well. I tried to "suggest to friends", but for some reason FB is not letting myself or Dave do it. Must be a glitch somewhere. The personal page (Jeep Talk) has 36 friends, but the community page has only 8 likes, so come over to the community page and like it up and pass it on!

Nice job. Don't know too much about FB but it's a shame the account stuff does not carry over the FB jeeptalk.net community page. I see where you can send notices but it's not working. Maybe their is a support section over on FB.

There is a support section. It's not moderated quite like it is on chat forums such as this. You have to weed through previous Q&A to hopefully find your answers. If not, then maybe someone will eventually answer your questions if they are new, but you have to continue to check back for the answer as you are not alerted from what I have found.

Someone must have said something or it fixed by itself. The notices are working now. Hey Steph there are 2 Admins over on that page, I can add another, I know your time is limited but every few minutes count.

Sure, you can add me as an admin. Not sure how often I'll check in on it but will be glad to help keep it free of spammy stuff. I'm on FB a lot.

[Jim B]

Your good to go.

[Lulu Smiles]

If you haven't found it already, you can "Like" JeepTalk on FaceBook directly from the sidebar on the homepage of JeepTalk.

You can also "Like" and share your favorite discussions/threads at the bottom of each page.

I noticed that people post on the Jeep Talk account but not the jeeptalk.net site on Facebook. I'm new to all this and can't understand it. Is there a link that is supposed to link to the site rather than the account Do you have to drop a link with image on friends Wall?

I got asked on how to post on the "Wall", could not give an answer, can someone explain.

As a visitor to JeepTalk (person) vs. JeepTalk.net (page), it's easy to post on either wall by selecting what you want to do - post picture, link, etc.
As a visitor that has a photo in their own album that they want to "tag" such as the one I did of me Jeepin' topless, you can only tag people (JeepTalk) not pages (JeepTalk.net).

For you as JeepTalk, when you post to other people's walls you are logged in as a person so it will show as JeepTalk not JeepTalk.net. Because you (or the other Admins of the page) mangage JeepTalk.net, you can "Like" another page and specify that your page (JeepTalk.net) likes it rather than you as a person (JeepTalk).

Hope that clears this up for you.

JeepTalk.net just "liked" the JeepBeach2011 page. To do something like this as the admin of your page, do not select the Like button at the top of their page (this will get you Liked by JeepTalk). Instead, look under the page's profile pick and select to Add to my Page's Favorites.

If you happen to manage more than one page as an admin then you can select which page it is a favorite of.

[Jim B]

Thanks Lulu. I see some of the Admins on the Facebook have been helping out from time to time.

What the heck is a POKE

Why? Who have you been poking?

[Jim B]

Seriously, what does the feature poke that I see do

[Rollbar]

Just a wake up call, or nudge.

Just poking fun @.

Latest update for those who manage a FB page.

Mashable article

Jim, this is how you want to have your setting switched so that you are posting out as the page and not the profile. Will save you a step.

Since I manage more than one page, this is not an option I care to do or else I'd be switching back and forth a lot.

[Jim B]

So what are you saying, you want to switch it Go ahead if it makes your life easier.

Basically I really did not not understand much of what you said.

No, it wouldn't make sense if I switch mine to be posting as JT page.

When you log in as JT person you want to switch YOUR setting to be JT page as your default posting status.

I have at least 3 pages I manage. I can't do it from my persona unless you want all my personal stuff associated with JT and I seriously doubt you want that.
Besides, it would confuse the hell out of all my peeps too.

Interesting! I just started a new community page called Trailabite 4 x 4 and I'm still trying to figure/understand all this stuff. Most of it is pretty cool though.

[Lulu Smiles]

Hey Jim, don't worry about it. I'll set it all up for you. I'm going to link some other stuff too so don't worry if you see some strange stuff in your email asking to confirm. I'll let you know when I do it. Gotta get ready for a photoshoot and work now.

[Jim B]

I think I got what Lulu meant after looking around. There are a few that are managing the JeepTalk Facebook. In order to start it as a community you would start your FB account such as Jeep Talk, than you create a community JEEPTALK.net, you then choose to run it as the community instead of as a user account. We just clicked on it and now we look like the page and not the profile.

Not sure what the pros and cons are. Lulu is this how you want it

Do you then post all to the community page?

I noticed that all was lost on the profile page once we did this, should we go back, can this be transfered over?

I doubt it will transfer over automatically. Both will still be viewable, you want everything on the community page. If you switched it then anything you post now will get it there. I'll call you later this afternoon.
