I found this question on SO where someone gave a quick tutorial for how to use SLComposeViewController directly.
Everyone wants to implement sharing features in their apps and I can imagine there is a framework which already implemented a configurable share sheet that offers the user a lot of different options?
I can't imagine everyone is reinventing this wheel all the time. But I wasn't lucky finding an alternative to doing it myself either.
All I need is an overlay or action sheet which pops up with various share options. Then the user taps one, and the appropriate SLComposeViewController (or similar) will be shown.
Check share kit which is an opensource framework: http://getsharekit.com or addthis which is not open but gives you the desired result http://support.addthis.com/customer/portal/articles/381270-addthis-for-ios-quick-start-guide

I am looking to integrate videos freely available on OTT platforms in India.
For example http://www.sonyliv.com/details/full%20movie/4709492313001/The-Butterflies-In-My-Head-%7C-Short-Film
However this is the web link to the video file. I am not able to fetch the media link to this and all such videos. Is it possible to do what I am trying and if so what should my direction of implementation be
I think if you look at the terms of use on that site (which are at the bottom and are, not very helpfully, hidden every time you scroll down) the conditions don't really allow what you are proposing, other than by linking to their site as your link above does, or sharing via their share options (Google + and Facebook for the example you show above).
So you can solve this technically with varying degrees of ease, depending on whether the source sites hide the media manifest URL's or use dynamically generated URL's etc, but it's probably worth making sure you are not going to get into issues over rights first.
I have some basic questions that I couldn't figure out after searching for quite some time now. All tutorials and guides I've come across have the code already set up and I can't find them of much use. For instance, the Friend Smash example has the code integrated with buttons and other scripts that I can't use it in my own game.
I used Parse to upload my game and test it on facebook and it's working fine, but I want to add the social features to it (login, share, score etc.)
Picking up the code snippets that I'm supposed to use either brings me up errors (undefined variables etc.) or messes things up (I get the not-working, bugged login window on top of the running game inside Unity, while nothing happens if I build and run it).
Where am I supposed to put the code? For example:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/unity/reference/current/FB.Init
In the "Example" part, where am I supposed to put this line?
FB.Init(SetInit, OnHideUnity);
Same thing here:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/unity/reference/current/FB.Feed
If I use the "Example" code as it is I get errors.
Do I have to use specific names for the scripts?
This is my first time uploading a game and trying to add social features to it so these questions may seem simple, but I couldn't find an answer anywhere.
You should create your own class instead of "Example" class, where you put all your Facebook specific functions. Then you should invoke your methods with your own components, buttons, triggers, whatever.
It is also you, who should take care of pausing the game while running social functions (login, share etc.).
I started looking into OwnCloud app development to add some capabilities I would like to my server. To me it seems like Apps can't modify anything like the Login page or User Management page. Is this the case?
I want to build a user registration app and would love to integrate it into the user management page (if not and it has to exist as its own app page not a big deal). The one big problem I see so far is not being able to add a "Register" link to the login page. I could just go in and add it to the source manually, but I would like to keep the App self contained so others can use it too.
If this is not possible to do in an App I may just need to modify the core application and then see if they will accept my feature addition in a pull request.
Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this for me. I don't want to waste my time trying to figure out how to do it with an App on the platform if it wont be doable.
After a lot of digging around I did figure out a way to do this.
In the App's app.php file, you can force a script to be loaded if the plugin is enabled:
$api->addScript('script_name'); // without .js
In that script jQuery can be used to add the elements to the page where you need them.
This was a good solution for me since I only needed to add a single button to the login page. I can see this being a bad idea if you want to make vast modifications. At that point you might as well just create a separate page that you have full control over.
I'm trying to find a library that can handle autocompletion with tokened (grouped) texts.
There are some very nice libraries out there for autocompletion such as:
https://github.com/EddyBorja/MLPAutoCompleteTextField
https://github.com/hoteltonight/HTAutocompleteTextField
https://github.com/TarasRoshko/TRAutocompleteView
The problem here is, I want to make the selection look like names tagging at SMS or Facebook app. So when the user tries to delete, he should delete all the text.
There are good jQuery implementations, one of them is this:
http://loopj.com/jquery-tokeninput/
I couldn't find any for iOS, perhaps the keywords are very generic, thus Google does not show any related results. Is there any library for this or can you provide any code examples?
What you're trying to achieve can't be done using the public SDK.
However, there exist some nice third party solutions.
I found this question, Is there an iPhone equivalent to the NSTokenField control?, which includes links to controls you could use.
According to the docs, the "Add to Timeline" button will be deprecated as of August 2012. Unfortunately, there is no guidance on how to achieve the same functionality. Perplexingly, the Open Graph tutorial uses the button (which seems unwise given that it will be broken in a couple months). Since I'm writing a new implementation of actions/timeline right now, I'm not going to include something that I'll have to delete in a couple months. Everything works fine with AJAX and the PHP-SDK and only two issues remain unresolved (which I imagine the button would handle):
No way to tell if an action is posted already. I have "unique" enabled already but I have no way to hide the "Add to timeline" option if it's already posted.
No nice visual. I could render the current (soon to be deprecated) button and steal the image but I'd prefer to use something that will look the same as other sites and make users comfortable that they know what will happen when they click.
Does Facebook have a replacement for this button? Or are all timeline posts supposed to be taking place silently after an initial permission grant? I thought Facebook encouraged more user approval for Timeline actions--where is that control supposed to go? To third party UI elements? Doesn't that undermine some of the power of the Facebook ecosystem--the fact that it's the same buttons with the same behavior everywhere on the web? It's kind of frustrating the way it's presented now--pushing you in one direction in the tutorial only to tell you that the feature will be deprecated within months. I've mostly given up hope for problem #1 but is there an official non-deprecated button that will give me a nice comforting visual?
Also, are there other features that this button does that are being/have been transitioned to other plugins?
EDIT: Does it make sense to link the "Like" button to a timeline event? It seems like semantically that would make sense but there doesn't seem to be any built-in way to do it.
