facePLANT Windows Live Writer Plugin UPDATED

DOWNLOAD: facePLANT.zip (264.68 kb)

It’s been a while since we touched upon the facePLANT plugin we created for Windows Live Writer. We had some people that had trouble getting it to work, so we did some testing of our own. We created some new facebook accounts, did some debugging and as it turns out facebook is now implementing some new permissions requirements when it comes to updating your status.

Facebook now requires all applications to get “Extended Permission” in order for them to update your facebook status. We did some tweaking of the code, and now it will prompt you to grant permission for the “Windows Live Writer” application to update your facebook status.

Once you have granted access, facePLANT should have no problems updating your status. So give it a download and let us know if you experience any problems.

Installation Instructions:

  1. Download the Zip file from above.
  2. Extract the DLL’s into your WLW Plugins directory (Ex. C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Writer\Plugins)
  3. Run Windows Live Writer
  4. Optional: You may configure the default message by going to Tools > Options > Plugins > facePLANT > options button

How can I update not my personal status but the status of my company's facebook page? I'm the administrator of that page and everything. Please help! Thanks so much...

Martin, Currently the plugin is only made to post to your personal status. I have played a little with updating a fan page but it is a little more involved on the facebook and live writer side. I'll let you know just as soon as I come up with a good solution.

You have to go to Blogs> Edit blog config.>plug-ins to see if it is enabled for that blog you're running... If it is, when you try to post a little window will pop up a la Twitter Notifier, where you can copy the status update and then allow the app to conect to Facebook (you'll only do this second part once)
