Here is my send javascript code:
function send(id, description, title) {
FB.ui({
app_id: '390841657651335',
method: 'send',
description: description,
link: http://vic.bg/Vits.aspx?vicid=' + id,
name: title
}
}
Send is always ok (i dumped the response from the callback to the console), but recients got that message
Attachment Unavailable This attachment may have been removed or the person who shared it may not have permission to share it with you
instead of the actual post. Did someone face that problem?
The problem was with the settings of the application Sandbox Mode: was checked.
I do not know why they display such strange message in that case
So, did the 'send dialog' worked for you? because from all of my research and reading all posts related, facebook currently doesn't allow to send private messages to friends through graph api..
I'm trying the 'send dialog' via a direct URL and not via JS SDK.

I am trying to send a message to a user through private inbox with Phonegap and the phonegap facebook plugin through this functionality:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/reference/send-dialog
So when doing this :
FB.ui({
app_id:'XXXXXXXXX',
method: 'send',
name: "This is the name",
link: 'www.google.com',
to:to,
description:'This is the description'
});
as stated in this link : Send private messages to friends
Nothing happen. Why ?
Is it supported by the plugin ?
Please help.
Thanks
I am trying to implement the private message function in phonegap build, but it seems like its only working on desktop not in mobile device.
when I change the method from send to feed, and indicate display to touch.
It works on my IOS build, the window just popup
FB.ui({
app_id:'XXXXXXXXX',
method: 'feed',
link: 'www.google.com',
to:to,
display: touch
});
However, its not working any more when I change the method back to send.
I believe facebook api don't support FB.UI send method in mobile devices, just like what they already mentioned on their page: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/reference/send-dialog
"This dialog can be used with the JavaScript SDK and by performing a full redirect to a URL. It is not supported on mobile devices."
I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW TO SEND PRIVATE MESSAGE THROUGH FACEBOOK NOW, GOOD LUCK
I have my site qa.carryon.com (this is our test site). I have configured it for facebook login and send invitations. In facebook I have configured SiteURL as 'http://login.qa.carryon.com/gs/'. 'login.qa.carryon.com' is our CNAME and we are using Gigya as social third party.
Login is working fine and when users see the list of facebook friends, user will click on one of them and the facebook send dialog triggers. The link parameter for send dialog is something like this 'http://qa.carryon.com/loyalty/signup?userid=xghdt6ys&username=xyz'.
For this link am i getting the error code 100 link invalid or there is other issue in configuration. I am doing this for first time and i cant understand whats going on. Please help i am stuck with no clue.
I had this issue as well and I was using dynamic querystring parameters on a common URL. It seems you are doing the same.
I fixed the issue by forcing Facebook to scrape the URL before I attempt to send it via the FB UI Send Dialog. Use the FB API to hit graph.facebook.com with the URL posted in the id parameter and a scrape parameter set to true.
Like so:
FB.api('https://graph.facebook.com/', 'post', {
id: '[URL]',
scrape: true
}, function(response) {
FB.ui({
method: 'send',
name: '[name]',
picture: '[Picture URL]',
link: '[URL]',
description: '[description]'
});
});

Does that help?
I want to provide users with the ability to send money to their Facebook friends through our app (Exvo) by the means of sending an URL to the invitation page via Facebook.
I'm using the 'Send' Facebook dialog (with a redirect to the Facebook webiste). The exact url I'm redirecting the user to is (to field has been redacted):
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/send?app_id=637466739616439&description=You+can+create+an+Exvo+Account+to+accept+this+money+transfer.&display=page&link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.exvo.com%2Finvitations%2F9fb77bda665f0ae8f58843daec80a29b&name=Pawe%C5%82+Go%C5%9Bcicki+would+like+to+send+you+0.01+EUR&picture=https%3A%2F%2Fthemes.exvo.com%2Fstylesheets%2Fimages%2Fcustom_images%2Flogo.png&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.exvo.com&to=username
This present me with a Facebook 'Send' dialog. When I type a custom message and press 'Send', I'm presented with this error:
API Error Code: 100
API Error Description: Invalid parameter
Error Message: 'link' is invalid.
The link param (extracted from the above URL and decoded) is this:
https://www.exvo.com/invitations/9fb77bda665f0ae8f58843daec80a29b
which is a valid URL, returning a proper 200 response. Using the Facebook debugger I can see that the provided URL does not generate any errors:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.exvo.com%2Finvitations%2F9fb77bda665f0ae8f58843daec80a29b
Only warnings about inferred properties (I have added those at one point as well, but it did not help).
Also note, that once in a while (like 1 in 10), when I click 'Send', the message gets through and I don't see any errors, which makes it even weirder.
Why is this error happening? What am I doing wrong?
This might not have been the problem in your case, but just for discoverability: make sure that the URL you are sharing is publicly available on the internet (i.e. not within your firewall or on a local computer). FB needs to visit your URL to verify its authenticity.
Like mpcabd has pointed out above, make sure to remove anything with fb, fbdev, facebook in the url because when I did, it solved the issue for me. It is probably a bug or a security measure by Facebook. You are always required to pass a redirect_uri with the link and try mentioning a title as well.
Also your link and redirect_uri must be within your domain that you have provided for the app. Ex: if your app domain in app settings is http://stackexchange.com, you cannot share a link like say https://stackoverflow.com/apps/php/fbsdk/etc/login.php, instead you have to share the link https://stackexchange.com/apps/php/etc/login.php which has worked for me
echo "<a href='https://www.facebook.com/dialog/send?app_id=YOUR_APP_ID&name=Thanks&link=".$linkToShare."&redirect_uri=".$linkToRedirectTo."'/>Send</a>";
You can also assign $title to something.
I figured out something weird, the same thing happened today on the site I manage, the problem seemed to be that the link contains the word facebook in it, so try to remove [facebook, fb, or f if it was a whole word] from your url, it should work, I had a url like open/ID/facebook/ and the only way it worked when I changed it to fopen/ID/ which looks stupid!
So may be in your case this is the problem:
https://www.exvo.com/invitations/9fb77bda665f0ae8f58843daec80a29b
Try to change your url to something without fb or facebook or anything similar.
I had this issue using the send dialog only. I was using dynamic querystring parameters on a common URL. The common URL has been scraped by Facebook but each iteration of the common URL and the querystring parameters would result in this error if Facebook had not scraped that exact URL previously.
I fixed the issue by forcing Facebook to scrape the URL before I attempt to send it via the FB UI Send Dialog. Use the FB API to hit graph.facebook.com with the URL posted in the id parameter and a scrape parameter set to true.
Like so:
FB.api('https://graph.facebook.com/', 'post', {
id: '[URL]',
scrape: true
}, function(response) {
FB.ui({
method: 'send',
name: '[name]',
picture: '[Picture URL]',
link: '[URL]',
description: '[description]'
});
});
I also answered with this solution to the same problem here.
Doing the following fixed it for me:
shorter token (this string in the link param: 9fb77bda665f0ae8f58843daec80a29b, which was 32 characters long, now is at 16) as advised by gkimsal
accepting October 2013 breaking changes, which required me to introduce OpenGraph tags to the page and drop name, description and picture_uri params that I was including when constructing the Send dialog redirect uri
Now Facebook, before displaying the Send dialog to the user, must fetch my page beforehand to retrieve the data (from OG: title, description and image) required to display a proper dialog to the user. I think this is what helped the most in my case.
If there any way to check in PHP SDK if user can write on specific friend's Wall?
Example:
if ($facebook_can_write_to->'123456789') echo "You can write on this friend's Wall";
Using the FQL table (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/user/) you can check to see if the current user can post to a friends wall by loading up the friend's user information specifically the can_post field.
can_post bool Whether or not the viewer can post to the user's Wall.
According to the documentation you can post on a user friends wall if that user granted you the *publish_stream* permission:
publish_stream
Enables your app to post content, comments, and likes to a user's
stream and to the streams of the user's friends.
There are some cases in which you won't be able to do so, for example if some user blocked your application then I guess it will fail if you try, so you should just check the response you get back from facebook for the api request and see if it worked or not.
Edit
As far as I'm aware you can not ask the api (nor via fql) "can my application post to this users wall", you can only ask "have this user granted my application the publish_stream permission".
If I understand what you want, I might have kind of a solution for you though.
I say show the user the option to post on a friends wall.
When the user chooses this option try to post on the friends wall (and I assume you are using ajax for that call), if it fails return some kind of code, then in the client side check for that code, if it returns use the javascript sdk to open a dialog.
You have two choices for dialogs, you can use the Feed Dialog like this:
var obj = {
method: 'feed',
to: "FRIEND_ID",
name: 'A message',
caption: 'Just trying something',
description: 'This is how to post on a friends wall'
};
FB.ui(obj, function(response) { console.log(response); });
Or you can use the Send Dialog:
FB.ui({
method: 'send',
to: "FRIEND_ID",
name: 'A message',
link: 'LINK_URL',
});
With this one though you have to post a link, I'm not sure if that works for you. After you tried and failed for a user you can save that data and use it later.
I'm trying to post a reply to an inbox message by sending a POST request to /message_id/comments. Is this the correct way to send a reply to an inbox message ?
I'm getting the following error:
"error": {
"type": "OAuthException",
"message": "(#3) App must be on whitelist"
}
The token has every possible permission.
Do I have to ask that my app is added on a whitelist ? how to do so ?
I'm doing this in javascript+jQuery:
var params = {
access_token: token
, method: 'post'
, message: 'hi'
};
$.getJSON('https://graph.facebook.com/$message_id/comments?callback=?', params, function(json) {
});
Facebook apps by default aren't allowed to send messages on behalf of users. There is no permission you are missing. This is an extra level to prevent spam (beyond prompting the user who). You will have to contact Facebook to get your application whitelisted. I would try their developer group.
opened a support ticket right here:
http://developers.facebook.com/bugs/183144141763793?browse=search_4e8b140cbf26e6040457329
Tried all I can think of and googled for, still getting this issue
Like others have pointed out, there isn't a way to do this programmatically unless you are on Facebook's whitelist. However, I did find a way around this for my app. What I do is use Oauth to display messages from a user's FB inbox like normal. When the user clicks 'Reply' on a message, I just send them to the reply page on Facebook Mobile, like this:
$('.reply').click(function() {
var popup_window = window.open('http://touch.facebook.com/messages/compose?ids='+message_id, '_blank');
popup_window.focus();
});
Where message id is the Facebook id for the message they are replying to. In my case, I use PHP to echo the message id into a javascript variable or data-attribute when the page loads. Since the Facebook mobile page opens in a new tab, they don't even really leave my app. Since Facebook mobile has a very streamlined interface it isn't too distracting. It's not perfect, but it works and it's easier than trying to get whitelisted.
