Facebook Links

[oldboots]

Sorry to resurrect this old thread but I figured it was probably better than starting a new one.

For several months now we have been unable to add Facebook links to pub pages, attempts get the following response:

Alert!
Currently unable to process Facebook links, Dave is working on it


I'm assuming the underlying technical issue is that for some reason the PuG site is unable to scrape the Facebook data from those pages to incorporate on the web site (eg latest post and opening hours).

However it would still be useful to be able to add the Facebook links for pubs and they just act as standard clickable links, even if only as a workaround until the underlying issue is resolved (assuming it will/can be).

Can a magic wand be waved?

When we add the facebook links it appears to be the same basic process as adding any other link including an automated check by accessing the URL.

I think the workaround would be to put the link into a review either as text or a hyperlink.
