=== Exporting dive information to _Facebook_
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Export of dives to _Facebook_ is handled differently from other types of export. This is because
|
||||||
|
export to _Facebook_ needs a connection to _Facebook_, requiring a _Facebook_ userID and password.
|
||||||
|
If, from the Main Menu, one selects _File -> Preferences -> Facebook_, a login screen is presented
|
||||||
|
(see image *A* to the left, below). Ensure that there is not another active _Facebook_ session
|
||||||
|
using an Internet browser outside of _Subsurface_. Provide a _Facebook_ userID and password.
|
||||||
|
Once successful login to _Facebook_ has been achieved, the panel
|
||||||
|
in image *B*, below is presented. This panel has a button that needs to be selected in order to close the
|
||||||
|
_Facebook_ connection.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
image::images/facebook1_f20.jpg["Figure: Facebook login",align="center"]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*Important:* By default the login to _Facebook_ is terminated when _Subsurface_ is closed. However,
|
||||||
|
the checkbox labelled "Keep me logged in to Subsurface" in image *A*, above allows one to keep the
|
||||||
|
connection even after _Subsurface_ has been closed. This allows one to launch _Subsurface_ at a later
|
||||||
|
stage and transfer more dive profiles to _Facebook_ without first having to log into _Facebook_. Keeping the
|
||||||
|
_Facebook_ connection open has two penalties: a) a security risk for the open connection to be exploited by
|
||||||
|
unwanted outside parties; b) the Internet bandwith required can be increased when a _Facebook_ connection
|
||||||
|
is kept open.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Having established a login to _Facebook_, transfer of a dive profile to one's _Facebook_ timeline is easy.
|
||||||
|
A _Facebook_ icon appears in the *Dive Notes* panel of _Subsurface_ (See image *A* below). Ensure that the dive
|
||||||
|
that needs to be transferred to the timeline is depicted in the _Subsurface_ *Dive Profile* panel. Select the
|
||||||
|
_Facebook_ icon, and a dialogue is shown, determining the amount of additional information transferred
|
||||||
|
with the dive profile (see image *B*, below). In order to transfer a dive profile to _Facebook_, the name of a
|
||||||
|
_Facebook_ album needs to be provided. The checkboxes on the lefthand side allow one to determine how much
|
||||||
|
additional information should be transferred with the dive profile. This information is shown in the text box
|
||||||
|
on the right hand side of the panel (see image *B*, below). Having specified the additional information, select
|
||||||
|
the _OK_ button which triggers the transfer to _Facebook_. After a while, an acknowledgement dialogue appears,
|
||||||
|
indicating successful transfer to _Facebook_.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If required, then close the _Facebook_ connection by either closing _Subsurface_ or by selecting _File -> Preferences -> Facebook_ from the Main Menu, and clicking the appropriate button on the Facebook Preferences panel.

If one provides a valid Facebook userID and password, a
|
||||||
|
connection to Facebook is created. By default, the connection to Facebook is closed when one
|
||||||
|
closes down Subsurface. If one checks the checkbox labelled "Keep connection to Subsurface",
|
||||||
|
then the connection to Facefoob is kept so that, if one launches Subsurface again at al later stage,
|
||||||
|
one does not need to log into Facebook again. See the section xref:S_facebook[Exporting dive profiles to Facebook]
|

for more information.
