Import events from Facebook: Implement the IPipe interface for the inbound pipe

To implement the IPipe interface, perform the following procedure:

  1. Open the FacebookEventsInboundPipe.cs file.

  2. Add the following properties:

    public virtual PipeSettings PipeSettings
    {
        get;
        set;
    }
     
    public virtual string PublishingProviderName
    {
        get
        {
            if ( string.IsNullOrEmpty( this.publishingProviderName ) )
            {
                this.publishingProviderName = Config.Get<PublishingConfig>().DefaultProvider;
            }
            return this.publishingProviderName;
        }
        set
        {
            this.publishingProviderName = value;
        }
    }
     
    public virtual string Name
    {
        get
        {
            return FacebookEventsInboundPipe.PipeName;
        }
    }
     
    public virtual IDefinitionField[] Definition
    {
        get
        {
            if ( this.definition == null )
            {
                this.definition = PublishingSystemFactory.GetPipeDefinitions( this.Name );
            }
            return this.definition;
        }
    }
     
    public virtual Type PipeSettingsType
    {
        get
        {
            return typeof( PipeSettings );
        }
    }

  3. Add the following methods:

    public virtual IEnumerable<WrapperObject> GetConvertedItemsForMapping( params object[] items )
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
     
    public void Initialize( PipeSettings pipeSettings )
    {
        this.PipeSettings = pipeSettings;
        this.publishingPoint = PublishingSystemFactory.GetPublishingPoint( this.PipeSettings.PublishingPoint );
    }
     
    public virtual bool CanProcessItem( object item )
    {
        return false;
    }
     
    public virtual PipeSettings GetDefaultSettings()
    {
        return PublishingSystemFactory.CreatePipeSettings( this.Name, PublishingManager.GetManager( this.PublishingProviderName ) );
    }
     
    public virtual string GetPipeSettingsShortDescription( PipeSettings initSettings )
    {
        return "Sitefinity CMS Facebook events inbound pipe.";
    }
     
    public virtual void CleanUp( string transactionName )
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
