Stalking Facebook with Filemaker

Featured Replies

A year ago, I used the Web Viewer to create what I affectionately refer to as a Facebook stalking page, so we can better recognize people who have attended our conference. ("Was that the tall dude or the guy with the beard? Oh yeah...that guy.")

This worked great...until it didn't. We studied the URL created when we search for people, we turned it into a formula within the Web Viewer, and it worked great.

Until it didn't. Now we just get error messages about FB not being able to display the page.

We also created a similar page for LinkedIn, and that worked great...until it insisted that we were not logged in to LinkedIn, even though we were.

I would like to know if others have attempted similar things -- using the Web Viewer to show Facebook data or photos of people, etc. Many thanks for any help that can be offered.

Correct. I posted this query there, also.

Hi Rick,

It's not against our policy for you to post  your question on more than one site (it against our police for you to multiple post your question here). When asking your question here and another site, please note so in your question (preferably in the first line). A link would be handy to.

That way our members will know this, and can make their own decision weather or not they want to try and follow your question, in multiple places. If you have ever tried to follow a multiple thread, it can be a real PIA trying to keep track  who has suggested what and where..
