EQ2 Share (Social Media thing) - not working?

Vitriol · 12-08-2011, 10:00 AM

So, I updated my UI to see the tab for this, ticked the box to enable, as directed http://www.everquest2.com/share there, and nothing happens.

I don't get the box to log in or authorise it. When I try to use the /share or /facebook command, I get a message saying I've not authorised it.

Help?

Bakual · 12-08-2011, 11:01 AM

Doesn't work for me neither.

When I activate the checkbox it takes some seconds till the internal game browser opens with it's default page (none for me). According to http://www.everquest2.com/share a facebook login popup should be visible, but it's not.

I'm so glad it's not just me SMILEY

Caela · 12-08-2011, 11:10 AM

It worked for me just fine last night. Took me to a log in page, was able to authorize the app, and thankfully even tell it who could see it (you get public, friends, or you can choose a single list - but not multiple lists). I was able to use the /facebook command to post something.

But I didn't see it post any achievements - maybe mine were not good enough SMILEY I was on my baby beastie - I got the lvl 10, beginning quester, and biggest winner while playing.

So, anyway - wanted to report that it's at least working somewhat for some people. (I'm using the latest Drums UI)

Vitriol · 12-08-2011, 07:58 PM

bump for more comments?

Jovie · 12-08-2011, 08:11 PM

I got logged into it just fine as well.

Perhaps popup blocker?

What exactly gets udated? Is it just acheivements or do thins like dings get posted as well?

Twinklin · 12-08-2011, 09:06 PM

I set mine up yesterday and have gotten many achievements like dinging 10, 20, etc and none have been posted to my Twitter.

Dawkitty · 12-08-2011, 09:27 PM

I'm thinking that it's a feature that will go fully live when the updated eq2players is rolled out.

Zoltaroth · 12-08-2011, 10:48 PM

If you are having issues with the in-game browser send me a PM and I will try to take a look at what is going on. Is the browser poping up for you guys? Is it just blank? Have you tried again since this morning?

For everyone else who did get this working you should be able to post screenshots now as well using the /social command.

Caela · 12-08-2011, 11:51 PM

The screen shot is cool! but it's too far away. I took a screen shot of the duck I can't have... It looks so tiny - and I was right up on it- I was way closer than what the picture shows. (I don't know if anyone can actually see this picture since it's linked to my facebook profile)

It'd be nice if it had seperate commands for the picture capability (like /tweetpic or some such) so we didn't have to deal with the pop-up box if we just want to send a message. SMILEY

Bakual · 12-10-2011, 05:36 PM

Works for me now. Zoltaroth apparently hit the hamsters for Splitpaw or something

Vitriol · 12-10-2011, 05:41 PM

yay it works SMILEY

Paaleon · 12-16-2011, 10:17 AM

I am unable to use EQII Share. Did as suggested on http://www.everquest2.com/share, type /share and /facebook but nothing. No pop up, each time stating I have not authorised.

Well... did you authorize it? The checkboxes to enable it are on your character/persona window and that will popup a browser where you can login to your facebook/twitter account and authorize.

Caela · 12-16-2011, 11:13 AM

I had it working previously, but last night it would not work.

I did the /share and it brought up the window, but Twitter box was not checked. And I couldn't check it - it said it was not set up for that character. So I closed the window, went to my Persona and checked the box again.

Typed the /share again - and again, Twitter was not checked.

Went back to the persona - Twitter wasn't checked. Did some more back and forth checking and unchecking.. eventually I lost the Facebook checkmark as well.

Never could make it work. I didn't try other characters as it was getting late. I'll look at it again today.

But up until last night it was working great.

Don't reply with stupid crap, read my post again stating that I had no popup to authorize. Troll somewhere and post something meaningful. kkthx

Caela · 12-16-2011, 11:36 PM

My twitter seems to be broken.

It was working great a few days ago. But now, the twitter box is unchecked. When I do /twitter (update) it says I need to authorize the app in the persona window. I go to the persona window and Twitter is unchecked - I check it - try again, says I need to authorize it. Go back - twitter is unchecked.

I've also tried going to twitter and revoking access - and doing it all over again, but I don't get the option to authorize the app any more.

Authorization worked great the first time - but not any more.

Did you patch your client? We added the ability to set the character name you want to tweet/facebook as and I dont think it forced a client update so unless you run the patcher it will be broken for you.

Caela · 12-17-2011, 02:20 AM

I believe my patcher did patch last night (when all this started). Tonight, I went in and did "validate" - which I think makes sure you have the latest files.

But still, the twitter part is broken.

Is there any way to force it to re-authorize the Twitter app? My twitter account doesn't show the EQ2 Share app is authorized (because I revoked it trying to fix this). Checking the box in the character screen doesn't do anything - the check mark won't "stick" either - if I close the window and re-open, it's unchecked again.

I just *know* all 1 of my followers on Twitter is dying to know what JumJumm is wearing.... SMILEY

denmom · 12-17-2011, 07:54 AM

I also am not getting anything when I check the Facebook box. It also won't stay checked after I close the Persona window.

I don't get the pop up at all, tho I can use the in-game browser. I use it all the time by clicking on the links to EQ2i and Zam from the quest journal.

When I /facebook or /share, I get that I'm not linked etc.

I have checked files and run the patcher.

Thank you in advance.

Zoltaroth · 12-18-2011, 03:21 PM

Some custom UIs seem to have incorrectly setup this part of the persona window unfortunately. You can manually enable EQII share using the following commands:

/socialmedia twitter enable 1

/socialmedia facebook enable 1

Oh that is awesome! Worked great. Thank you. And I was using a custom UI.

Now my one follower on Twitter can see me look like a mermaid SMILEY
