hi,
Using Facebook's API it's possible to prompt a user to post to his/her wall using the feed dialog. However, using the javascript SDK, this requires two clicks: one on the button which brings up the dialog, the other on the "Share" button within the dialog.
Is it possible to get rid of one of these clicks? I thought of two approaches:
Embedding the dialog within an iframe, as Facebook provides a URL for a full page dialog. That will require the user to click only on the "Share" button. Apparently Facebook blocks that option.
Using an access token and display=iframe, but I want to avoid the user having to authorize my application.
Any ideas?
i would suggest you to use fb.api instead.
function PostToMyWall(){
FB.login(function(response)
{
if (response.authResponse)
{
//Post to my wall
FB.api('/me/feed', 'post', {
message: lnk,link: lnk
},
function(response) {
if (!response || response.error) {
// //alert('Error occured');
} else {
// //alert("Successfully Posted to My Wall!");
}
});}else
{
alert('Not logged in');
}}, { scope : 'publish_stream' });
}
My application got a similar function, check it out at www.wootube.woolei.com - "Post to WooTube Page and Group"
or popup when the page using jquery
$(document).ready(function() { FB.ui({method: 'feed',
name: mdtxt,
link: lnk,
picture: hackImageUrl(img,fld),
caption: '<?php echo $clickme; ?>',
description: '<?php echo $app_desc; ?>'
},
function(response) {
if (!response || response.error) {
alert('Error occured');
} else {
alert("Successfully Posted to Group");
}
});});

The Facebook tutorials suggest that you can add a user comment to a custom action in a Facebook App. The example javascript function for posting is:
<script type="text/javascript">
function postCook()
{
FB.api(
'/me/[YOUR_APP_NAMESPACE]:cook',
'post',
{ recipe: 'http://fbwerks.com:8000/zhen/cookie.html' },
function(response) {
if (!response || response.error) {
alert('Error occurred');
} else {
alert('Cook was successful! Action ID: ' + response.id);
}
});
}
</script>
I have an "Endorse" action defined with the object "Local Business". Everything is working. Now I want to give the user the option to add a user message to their endorsement but I can not find any help in Facebook docs on how to implement this in the api (the above code). Any help?
You need to specify the 'message' parameter when publishing the action. For example,
<script type="text/javascript">
function postCook(userMessage)
{
FB.api(
'/me/[YOUR_APP_NAMESPACE]:cook',
'post',
{ recipe: 'http://fbwerks.com:8000/zhen/cookie.html',
message: userMessage },
function(response) {
if (!response || response.error) {
alert('Error occurred');
} else {
alert('Cook was successful! Action ID: ' + response.id);
}
});
}
</script>
will submit userMessage as a user provided message on the action.
The full list of supported parameters for the OpenGraph publishing API is available here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/technical-guides/opengraph/publish-action/#create
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.
Check out my application to see if that what you want -> WooTube
function Promote() {
var lnk =
'http://www.wootube.woolei.com?v=<?php echo $_GET["id"] ?>';
FB.login(function(response) {
if (response.authResponse) {
//Post To WooTube Group
FB.api('/271691796276524/feed', 'post', {
message: lnk,
link: lnk,
},
function(response) {
if (!response || response.error) {
//alert('You have to join the group first!');
} else {
//alert("Successfully Posted to WooTube Group!");
}
});
//Post to Wootube Page
FB.api('/173724382762792/feed', 'post', {
message: lnk,
link: lnk
},
function(response) {
if (!response || response.error) {
//alert('You have to like http://www.facebook.com/WooTubes first!');
} else {
//alert("Successfully Posted to WooTube Page!");
}
});
} else {
alert('Not logged in');
}
}, {
scope: 'publish_stream'
});
}
We are using the Facebook Javascript SDK to allow users to post content to their wall. In the message that gets posted, is it possible to tag another user, similar to how you can when typing a post on facebook.com? (using something like #person)
We are using:
FB.api('/me/feed', 'post', { message: 'This post came from a test. #someuser'}, function(response) {
if (!response || response.error) {
alert('Error occured');
} else {
alert('Post ID: ' + response.id);
}
});
The end result would then be a post that tagged the #someuser user.
The Facebook API doesn't currently support tagging of users like this. That functionality is limited to the actual site itself.
My problem is that i want to post to user wall using the offline_access.
I donot know how to do that using the facebook javascript sdk
with this method FB.api('/me/feed')
Please also give me an example how to integrate the facebook connect with asp
If the user has already authenticated and has given publish_stream or offline_access permissions, you can just call this method to publish to their feed:
var body = 'Reading Connect JS documentation';
FB.api('/me/feed', 'post', { message: body }, function(response) {
if (!response || response.error) {
alert('Error occured');
} else {
alert('Post ID: ' + response.id);
}
});
