i want to share friend's post via graph api - facebook

I want to share some posts in facebook via graph api.
But there's no api like this. only "feed" exists.
I tried to use "me/feed" graph api action to share my friend's post(and post in page). but it's not same as i shared in facebook website. i want to know how.
source is..
NSMutableDictionary *fbArguments = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
NSString *linkURL = #"http://media.daum.net/society/others/view.html?cateid=1067&newsid=20120106140112792&p=munhwa&RIGHT_COMM=R4";
[fbArguments setObject:linkURL forKey:#"link"];
[facebook requestWithGraphPath:#"me/feed"
andParams:fbArguments
andHttpMethod:#"POST"
andDelegate:self];
[fbArguments release];
And I noticed there's no action for sharing friend's post(or photo), page's post via facebook iphone app. (so weird. don't you need this action?)
what can i do? can you help me?
Thanks.
i'v succeeded sharing photo. that is 'Link'.
source is
NSMutableDictionary *fbArguments = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
NSString *linkURL = #"https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=324225380935287&set=a.265279620163197.68309.194442110580282&type=1";
[fbArguments setObject:linkURL forKey:#"link"];
[fbArguments setObject:#"good!" forKey:#"message"];
[facebook requestWithGraphPath:#"me/feed"
andParams:fbArguments
andHttpMethod:#"POST"
andDelegate:self];
[fbArguments release];
i added message. and this is perfectly same as i shared via facebook web.
but there is one problem. this never makes back reference(trackback?).
if I share a photo via facebook web, I can see "5 shares" upper comment list, and my username is is there.
But this way, There is no my username. No trackback.
what can i do?
thanks.

Facebook like button in iPhone native app

I want to implement facebook like button in my native iphone app. So that user can like my facebook page . I am already sharing facebook status updates, but am unable to implement like button.
I was unable to find any helpful resource on web.Please help.
Aaaand here's one I prepared earlier (using FBConnect, the FB api):
If you have the id of the post as postId
NSString *graphPath = [[NSString alloc]
initWithFormat:#"%#/likes",
postId];
NSMutableDictionary *params = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[[delegate facebook] requestWithGraphPath:graphPath andParams:params andHttpMethod:#"POST" andDelegate:self];
of course you'd need to change how you got the Facebook singleton (I used [delegate Facebook]).

Facebook Connect Posting a Status Update

HI I have got Facebook Connect working with a functional login and logout button. So far thats it, when I press a button a I want to post something to the user. Is there something I have to authorize? What is the precise steps for this. Thank you.
If you want to publish content to User's Feed you not required to authorize user if you use Feed Dialog for any other ways you required to authorize user prior to content publishing.
For web applications/sites (which isn't the case) there is also way to leverage automatic publishing of content user liked using Like Button social plugin by providing correct OpenGraph meta tags.
You really need to read documentation for iOS SDK, especially Dialogs and Authentication and Getting Started Guide.
if you want to set his status thought your FB app without showing a dialog you could do it like this
NSString *message = #"some text";
NSMutableDictionary* params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:message, message,nil];
[fb requestWithGraphPath:#"me/feed" andParams:params andHttpMethod:#"POST" andDelegate:self]; //fb here is the FaceBook instance.
and for sure you will do that after the user login and authorized the permissions .
To Authorize the permissions
if (![fb isSessionValid]) {
NSArray *permissions = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:#"user_likes", #"read_stream", nil];
[fb authorize:permissions];
[permissions release];
}

How to post on user's wall indicating an app was installed?

http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/post/ doesn't seem to give a clue about it. Would "Install(ed)" be an action? If the feed is something like " installed on iPhone", how to make the to be a link such that the user can tap on it so to lead the user to App Store?
I know the API to use, something like the following. But I just don't know what are the params that should be there for the above feed.
NSMutableDictionary* params = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithCapacity:1]
[params setObject:username forKey:#"name"];
[params setObject:#"Description" forKey:#"description"];
[facebook requestWithGraphPath:#"me/feed"
andParams:params
andHttpMethod:#"POST"
andDelegate:self];
You can get all info of setting the facebook ios sdk with a screenshot of a post..

how to post a photo and message to Facebook using the new Facebook GRAPH API on iPhone

I know how to post an image using the GRAPH API and I know how to post a comment using the same. But I can't figure out how to post a photo and allow the user to also include a message/status with the photo (all posting on the user's own wall).
This is the code that I am using to upload a photo from my app to user's wall. The GRAPH API does not define what other keys I can specify in the param dictionary.
-(void) uploadPhotoToFacebook {
NSMutableDictionary *params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
imageView.image, #"picture", nil];
[facebook requestWithGraphPath:#"me/photos"
andParams:params
andHttpMethod:#"POST"
andDelegate:self];
}
I have found ways to do this using the now deprecated Facebook API but that doesn't help me.
Thanks for the help,
// Post a status update along with picture via the Graph API, and display an alert view
with the results or an error.
NSString *message = #"This is status Message!";
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"myPngImageToPost"];
NSDictionary *params = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:message, UIImagePNGRepresentation(image), nil] forKeys:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"message", #"picture", nil]];
// use the "startWith" helper static on FBRequest to both create and start a request, with
// a specified completion handler.
[FBRequest startWithGraphPath:#"me/photos"
parameters:params
HTTPMethod:#"POST"
completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error) {
[self showAlert:message result:result error:error];
}];
The above code will show status update as well as image below your status message.
The documentation is here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/photo/ ... along with the restrictions and required permissions. I have been wrestling with it for a few days since not everything I expect to work works! For posting you want to use the "source" key instead of picture which refers to the thumbnail.
Posting on the wall (feed dialog) and comments (graph photo/comment) (comments and tags are adding connections) are all separate transactions. For posting, I'm struggling with it since I can post a photo by providing an existing URL from another website but for some reason, I cannot point use the photo link from the picture I just posted (the feed dialog appears without any photo).

Creating a Facebook event on public FB Page using iPhone SDK Graph API

I'm trying to let users create an event on my public Facebook page via an iPhone app, and hopefully let ppl invite their friends to that event.
The idea is that the iPhone app will be able to show the users events from that page, while everyone is able to add the events.
After Authorizing with permissions: create_event and manage_pages, i'm trying to run the following code:
NSMutableDictionary *params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
#"My Event",#"name",
PAGE_ID, #"page_id",
#"2011-11-10T13:30",#"start_time",
#"2011-11-11T13:30",#"end_time", nil];
[facebook requestWithGraphPath:[NSString stringWithFormat: #"%#/events", PAGE_ID]
andParams:params
andHttpMethod:#"POST"
andDelegate:self];
And I get and error saying: "(#200) Permissions error".
Is it even possible? (creating an event on a page which a user doesn't own)
and if so, what am I missing?
permissions = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:#"offline_access", #"user_events",#"create_event",#"rsvp_event", nil];
I hope that it is just your help.
