Question

I have a Facebook application that wants to publish document reads to a user’s OpenGraph.

Since read is a reserved, built-in action, my objects have to have the type article. The publishing of reads to the user’s graph works fine and the last read is also shown on the user’s timeline.

Additionally, I have set up some aggregators that would show the last 5 reads, the most popular authors etc. The problem is that I can not find those aggregators anywhere in my timeline/profile or in the App section of my user.

Is it not possible to control/show the aggregators for built-in actions and objects?
I have a feeling it should be, since I can set them up and (for example) Spotifiy also uses the built-in music.song objects, as shown below – this is basically, what I also want.

All I am seeing on my app’s timeline section, though, is this:

This is not the perfect answer to the actual question but I was able to solve the problem nevertheless. In case someone else is in the same spot, you might profit from my learnings:

The application I’m building wants to push read actions to a user’s OpenGraph. My aggregation problem was that my reads from the built-in news.reads action did not get aggregated. To this day, I do not know why not.

Instead, I managed to create my own read action. It is not connected to the built-in one and exists in my own namespace.
This action can now be connected to my own objects as well and is not bound to the article object – as is the built-in one.

Having my own actions and objects, it was a breeze to follow the instructions for aggregations and create as many aggregations as I like. They also actually show up in my test users’ profiles. Yeah.
