Details, demo and other info here: http://www.oc-extensions.com/Facebook-Game-Contest

Just bought it. Several questions:

1. I already had a FB page and an app ID for my website. So I used these in the settings. Hope that's ok.
2. When and how does the module have FB ask for permissions to use FB data? I used Static HTML app recommended by you, along with fangate. However, when I tried with an FB account, I was just able to play after becoming a fan of the page.
3. When and how is the OC/my-shop account for the player created?
4. Where can the player see his points?
5. Games played counter doesn't seem to advance.
6. The product slider picks up the correct price and special. But the tiles only seem to pick up the price (not the special). This needs to be fixed.
7. I am having trouble with some characters like ő,í,ű..even though I said yes to Charset Problems

Hi,

First time when user try to play your game facebook api ask for permissions.
First time when you play like in not required, second time you can unlock game until you like page.
When an visitor complete an level, then extension will check if exist an customer with that email address. If not will create an new account (send generated pass to customer)
Player can see his points (day/week/month) after level complete or pressing rank button
Games played counter - many games/levels completed = more points
Check encoding used when you translated language file (you know about what we explain here cause i saw you are an developer)

Thanks for your reply.

That's what I expected. But that's not what happened. Can you check if I send you link to the FB app by PM?

So, in the static HTML app, I should disable fangate?

How does a visitor complete a level? By eliminating all tiles from board? That does not seem to take me to the next level somehow. Nor is an account created.

oc-extensions wrote:Player can see his points (day/week/month) after level complete or pressing rank button

That's what I see in your screenshot. But in my actual game, I only see a Play Again button. Can't see scores.

oc-extensions wrote:Games played counter - many games/levels completed = more points

Again, that's what I thought, but the counter doesn't seem to be working. It seems stuck at zero.

Use support@oc-extensions.com to ask support, or at least ad comment on extension page.

Be sure you followed help instruction when create facebook app to be sure you filled required fields

Will send email. I just figured forums are better for support because others having the same issue(s) won't have to bother you again and again.

Commenting in extension page doesn't work well for support as I wouldn't get any email notifications of your response (here on forums I do)

P.S. Yes, I followed instructions and filled all required fields, as I also mentioned in my earlier post above.

Feature requests for next version:

• When a player finishes a game, a popup is shown with points earned and a Play Again button. Points are shown for this game, today, this week and this month. If he shop admin said he won't give weekly awards, then points for this week are not shown. So far so good. The problem is this: The text for weekly points is still shown. It should not be shown. You need to bring the text inside the IF...THEN statement. e.g. This is what happens at my site when I say I wont give any credits to weekly winners:
  • Points earned in this game: 71
  • Points earned today: 71
  • Points earned this week:
  • Points earned this month: 338
• The link posted on the player's wall when they complete a game is wrong. This is simply because you are generating the link based on the app ID for the login app created by store owner. But the link players should go to is actually different - this link is the link to the tab where the static HTML app is located.
• Posting on players' walls is a great idea. But posting after every game is excessive and bound to piss them off. This should happen only once a day. In other words, the trigger should not be end of game, but rather a cron job.

• Are daily/weekly/monthly winners picked automatically?
• Are the daily/weekly/monthly winners sent an email when they win? Is the news about the win posted on their walls?
• Are store credits automatically alotted to winners?
• Are winners' names automatically posted on store's FB page wall?

If answer to any of the above is NO, then consider adding this functionality in next version.

Hi,

If you look in our help will see there instruction to define a cron job.
Cron job role:
- choose winner, send notification to winner (winner receive an email and is notified that receive x credits )

When user complete one level and are displayed his points same time is posted a message on his wall, to allow other customer to see that he played game on your site.

When winner is choosen extension DON'T add/post a message to his fb wall. (is sent an email)

oc-extensions wrote:Cron job role:

Oh, yes, I forgot having read that; I had already set up the cron job in Control Panel.

Please take it as a feature request to post message on shop's facebook page wall when a winner is chosen. The names of winners should be included as mentions in these posts.

Hi,

Thanks for suggestions.

Is there away to add more boxes (possibly 32 boxes) instead of the 28 boxes that are there? This makes it that much harder to win and requires the FB Gamer to play and stay on your page longer.

Is there away to limit purchases made with FB Game credits. My fear is that a customer will play until they build enough points to buy whatever they want without every making an actual purchase.
