I have been trying to use fb.ui to create an unpublished post. Cant find any documentation for it. Is this possible with v2.8 ?
I don´t think you can do it with FB.ui dialogs (and scheduling is only possible for Pages anyway), but it is possible with FB.api:
const params = {
access_token: <pageToken>,
published: false,
message: 'some text',
scheduled_publish_time: <timestamp>
};
FB.api('/<pageid>/feed', params, (response) => {
if (response && response.error) {
} else {
}
});

I'm messing around with an Angular app, let's say for the sake of argument that I'm not using any meta tags, how can I use the Share Dialog to let users share pages of my app?
Using the old Feed Dialog works, but it has been deprecated:
$scope.share = function() {
FB.ui({
method: 'feed',
name: 'This is the name field',
link: 'The link',
picture: 'The picture',
caption: 'The caption',
description: 'This is the content of the "description" field, below the caption.'
})
},
function(response) {
if (response && !response.error_code) {
console.log('Posting completed.');
} else {
console.log('Error while posting.');
}
});
};
So even though this works, I want to use the Share Diolog in the same way but I'm not figuring it out. This is sort of what I've been trying, keep in mind that I'm a newbie:
$scope.share = function() {
FB.ui({
method: 'share_open_graph',
action_type: 'og.likes',
action_properties: JSON.stringify({
object: {
'title': 'The title',
'image': 'An image',
'url': $scope.shareUrl,
'description': 'This is the description',
}
})
},
function(response) {
if (response && !response.error_code) {
console.log('Posting completed.');
} else {
console.log('Error while posting.');
}
});
};
Any hints?
The short answer is that you can't, you must use OpenGraph meta tags.
Since Facebook doesn't understand JavaScript and thus Angular, you must detect Facebook's crawlers server-side and render a static page for them instead of the Angular app.
While the precise implementation will vary depending on your server technologies, here's the general idea:
Setup a route for the resources that need sharing: http://example.com/resources/:id
Look for the user-agent
If it's one of Facebook's crawlers, fetch the resource and render a simple view with OpenGraph tags and an empty body. Otherwise, simply render the Angular app.
Facebook's crawlers are available here and they currently are:
facebookexternalhit/1.1 (+http://www.facebook.com/externalhit_uatext.php)
facebookexternalhit/1.1
Facebot
I am developing a facebook app where I need impersonation of users, so there is an option when you use facebook for "Use Facebook As", i need to implement the same in my app.
I see the access tokens retrieved for the pages I own, but I don't understand how to use this with the following graph api to post
var body = 'Reading JS SDK documentation';
FB.api('/me/feed', 'post', { message: body }, function (response) {
if (!response || response.error) {
alert('Error occured');
} else {
alert('Post ID: ' + response.id);
}
});
so my question is how do I set the access token for the api in this case??
I Hope, am clear with my question
Add it with the parameters. Change this line
FB.api('/me/feed', 'post', { message: body }, function (response) {
to...
var my_token = "the access token value";
FB.api('/me/feed', 'post', { message: body, access_token : my_token }, function (response) {
In the comments of this question, users have commented that it's possible to insert a Flash applet into a Facebook wall post. I was under the impression this isn't possible without making a FB app.
I'm aware that FB will convert links to various media types - e.g. a link to a MP3 becomes automagically a SWF MP3 player, but the Flash applet used is chosen by FB's internal logic, not by the content of the post. Is it possible to embed a SWF applet of your own choosing?
As I haven't been able to find any documentation on this, has anyone else? Or, do you have some PoC code that does this?
you can use the Facebook's JS-SDK for it:
FB.ui(
{
method: 'feed',
name: 'Title pf post',
link: 'http://link.to.target',
picture: 'http://link.to.previewimage',
source: 'http://link.to.swf',
caption: 'Subtitle',
description: 'Maintext',
},
function(response) {
if (response && response.post_id) {
//alert('Post was published.');
} else {
//alert('Post was not published.');
}
}
);
As you said in the comment of the other question, that you were also interested in how to pass parameters to the swf, here is the solution:
in javascript
function postOnWall(fbuid) {
var params = {};
params['message'] = "my message";
params['name'] = "my name";
params['description'] = "my description";
params['link'] = "https://www.mylink.com";
params['caption'] = "my caption";
params['picture'] = "https://www.mylink.de/thumb.png";
params['source'] = "https://www.mylink.de/Main.swf" + "?bla=thisisyourdynamicquerystring";
FB.api('/' + fbuid + '/feed', 'post', params, function(response) {
if (!response || response.error) {
// Error occured while publishing to stream
} else {
// Published to stream
}
});
}
in actionscript
public function Main() {
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaderComplete);
}
private function loaderComplete(event : Event) : void {
var myQueryStrings : Object = this.loaderInfo.parameters;
if (myQueryStrings && myQueryStrings.bla) {
_myMovie.label.text = myQueryStrings.bla;
}
}
I need to create a button to submit a comment on Face Book wall.
I am using MVC in Sencha touch and in my controller I use a function as
facebookComment: function()
{
--------
}
This function is to be called when a button is pressed.
Can any body please throw some light on how to go about this?
i am using following code to post on friends wall see if it is useful to you or not
var postParams = {
method: 'stream.publish'
, target_id: friend_id
, display: 'popup'
, message: message
, user_message_prompt: "Post message!"
}
FB.api(postParams, function(response) {
if(response.error_code || !response) {
to handle error
}
});
or refer this link https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/rest/stream.publish/
Well, first you should already be using the Javascript SDK. Then just issue a HTTP POST request to the feed connection of the current user using the FB.api() method with the message field set to your comment:
var body = comment_var;
FB.api('/me/feed', 'post', { message: body }, function(response) {
if (!response || response.error) {
alert('Error occured');
} else {
alert('Post ID: ' + response.id);
}
});
Obviously, should be taking care of the user login status (maybe using the method FB.getLoginStatus()).
I'm working on a Facebook app that uses Facebook groups, and I'd like to open up a Feed dialog to let the user post a notice to the group's feed. I have a user who is in the group and I've got the relevant permissions as well.
I've tried passing the group's Facebook id in the https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/feed/ feed dialog, but get a Facebook error. There doesn't appear to be a programmatic way to do it either: the group's feed (described at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/group/) isn't documented to accept POSTs either. Is there a way to post a message to the group using the Graph API or one of the other API methods?
I just made a test and it's working as any other wall.
I made a POST to 'GROUP_ID/feed' with a message variable with a value and it worked. I logged into the app as the group owner.
Using facebook php-sdk:
$facebook->api('GROUP_ID/feed', 'POST', array(
'message' => 'Testing...'
)));
I would suggest to use javascript instead as it wont cause post back of our website.
