Facebook import recent pictures only

Post by ThinkAgain »

Hi all,

I was wondering is there any way to just import the last pictures added to a certain Facebook album? I only seem to be able all pictures and that way all the titles I have given to the previous ones disappear as well, and I will have to rename them all again by hand, which takes forever.

OR is there any way to import pictures from Facebook along with the description they have on Facebook, as I'd want that to be the title of the images (they're paintings and drawings for an art group, so the description would be "title of work - medium - (size)".

Thanks in advance.

Hi, Facebook Picture is an import function - so you should manage everything on facebook (titles, description, etc) - everytime you will import, you get the information from Facebook (so if the title is set in FB, you will get it, but if you change it in your gallery, and you will make new import, you will get the information which are set on Facebook) If you are running import function - in fact it is not possible to decide which information is valid (of the one on your site or the one on Facebook) Commonly the information on the external site is the one which has valid information.
