Fotobook connected

Leave a reply

Alright, so here is the deal. After a week trying to figure out how to connect and make Fotobook work in my WordPress plugins, I got it done and figured out. 😛

Here is what I did. Let say that you have WordPress already installed and configured. So you are going to go to Fotobook and download the last version. Once you download follow the installation instructions.

So here is what I did under the installation instructions that it made so special.

Steps:

  1. Make sure that you are logout of facebook and your cookies are clear in your web browser
  2. After activating my Fotobook I went and open the Fotobook settings
  3. Click on “Grant Permissions”
  4. A new window is going to pop up.
  5. Enter your facebook user name and password, then sign-in
  6. Is going to tell you that you could close this window. Close it.
  7. Then go back to your Fotobook setting, which would be step 3.
  8. Click “Apply Permissions”
    NOTE: DO NOT REFRESH OR HIT THE GO BUTTON IN YOUR WEB BROWSER OTHERWISE YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FULLY CONNECT YOUR FACEBOOK WITH YOUR FOTOBOOK.
  9. Then your facebook account should appear under “Grant Permissions”
  10. Now click on “Go to Management”
  11. Click “Get Albums”

Now, you should your facebook and fotobook linked. If you are having any difficulties please contact the developer not me. I didn’t made the code.

Export friend and blacklist from Mailwasher

Leave a reply

This is a tutorial that it will illustrate how to export your friend and black list from Mailwasher 5.3 on Windows XP.

I been using Mailwasher for quite while now and it is a really good application to catch spam, but I was wondering how to come up with something that I could export my friend and black list from their application. Unfortunately you could only import *.csv files into their app and not export any data. Well, I bet that you are wondering how to export your list and post it on another email account of yours.

Steps:

  1. Open “Windows Explorer”
    Make sure that “Show hidden files and folders” it is chose. Don’t know how to do this click here.
  2. Replace “your_user” for your Windows XP account user name
    Go to “C:\Documents and Settings\your_user\Application Data\MailWasherPro“
  3. Copy “Blacklist.txt” to your Desktop or desire folder
  4. Open “Blacklist.txt” with your desire application. Add and remove all the email addresses that you want from it.
  5. “Save As” Blasklist file and make sure that you change the extension to the extension that your email account is asking for you to import your email friend and/or blacklist. Usually they always use *.csv format.

Now you are done. That was easy wasn’t it. 😛
