Reward users when they post to Facebook with Rules
Last updated on

Here is a tutorial on how to create a custom link that posts to Facebook, then rewards the user through rules (userpoints, downloads, role, etc)
Install https://www.drupal.org/project/fb_autopost by following the detailed video tutorial at http://vimeo.com/56026903
You should now be able to post to Facebook:
- When new content has been added
- After flagging some content
- Let user's announce on their Facebook profile they have just bought a product (and link to it)
- Welcome new Drupal users on your site's Facebook fan page
What we now want is to reward users when they click on a link:
Install https://www.drupal.org/project/rules_link
1. Create a Rules Link
- Create a Rules Link of Entity Type: Content
- Content Type: Example 'Article'
2. Create a Reaction:
- Condition is of Type: Article
- Create a new entity: Facebook Publication, type link
- Set a data value: entity-created-for-fb:field-facebook-link
- Value: mysite.com/node/1
- Publish to users timeline: entity-created-for-fb
Now when a user clicks on the link you set up it will post to the users timeline.
