Facebook API Error: Unknown method (3)

I have the same problem here "Facebook API Error: Unknown method (3)" - do I have to change something special in the Facebook App in order to avoid this error?

Hi, which answer did you get from facebook developers?

Yes. It's through the administator directory... and this is the file where I think the fix can be done, isn't it? :

I wrote Facebook Developeners now.... better I tried to, only way i found is with the stackoverflow-help-system.

http://facebook.stackoverflow.com/quest ... in-gallery

[Trinbagoman]

Thank you for posting that makimuxx. Hopefully we will have an answer soon.

[Trinbagoman]

no one has yet replied on the facebook developers forum. this is really frustrating
. i tried it from the beginning with another Facebook user account, and again, same problem.

[Jan]

Hmmm, testing now on different servers, on localhost with different applications (new, old, ...) and get normally connected and can manage albums and images normally



Really no idea what exactly can be wrong there
(tested with Phoca Gallery 3.2.3, 4.0.0 Beta)

[makimuxx]

Still no answer... But this time they've not just deleted the Question... maybe theres a solution comin...

Anyway, here the Quastionlink: http://facebook.stackoverflow.com/quest ... in-gallery

For more info: Unknown method can be called API_EC_METHOD (string which FB returns) ... but unfortunatelly, still not found any useful information about such problem and I have tried to simulate different settings and still not got such error ... really no idea for now Are you able to test it on different servers?

Hello everyone,

I am also having the same problem with loading Facebook albums. I've tried about every setting I could but nothing is working. When setting up/loading the facebook data, everything works fine, it is just when I go to categories and want to load FB albums is when I get: Facebook API Error: Unknown method (3).

Nothing really to add....just hoping for solution soon. I am not big on FB, just trying to set it up for a friend, so not a lot of experience with it.

One Q that come to mind: Can it be affected by the fact that under the FB profile that I am loading he has various FB accounts/pages.
So when I login to FB, I get his main account with is name, but he also has 2 or 3 hobby/bizz pages with FB under that same account .....Could this be affecting the Phoca component? (I don't have a FB account myself so I can't test it with an other FB account)......

ps: using Joomla 2.5.11 with Phoca gallery 3.2.4 and all recommended settings as shown under the "info"tab in the component.
