How to attach several photos to a wall post? - facebook

Question

If you go to this app's wall: http://www.facebook.com/mindjolt they somehow attach several photos to each wall post. Is there a way to do this programatically?
Looks like they are posting to the wall manually, but I can't even figure out how to do this through facebook interface.
Any ideas?

Answer 1

You have two options that I'm aware of:
You can use the Facebook Graph API to post to someone's wall. You can attach a picture (I'm pretty sure it's only one), link, video, etc. to the post: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/post
Alternatively, you can use the stream.publish method from the old REST API http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/rest/stream.publish and set the attachment.media parameter http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/attachments to post more than one image in one wall post.

Answer 2

I there no way to do it with the new Javascript API (SDK)?
The old way was:
var media = [];
media[0] = {'type':'image','src':'xxx','href':'yyy'};
media[1] = {'type':'image','src':'xxx','href':'yyy'};
media[2] = {'type':'image','src':'xxx','href':'yyy'};
media[3] = {'type':'image','src':'xxx','href':'yyy'};
media[4] = {'type':'image','src':'xxx','href':'yyy'};
attachment = {
'href':'xxx',
'name':'xxx',
'caption': '',
'media': media
};
FB.Connect.streamPublish('', attachment, '');
but the new way?
FB.ui(
{
method: 'feed',
name: attachment.name,
link: attachment.href,
caption: attachment.caption,
picture: 'xxx',
}
,
function(response)
{
alert('callback');
}
);
there is no key for attachment or for media, only picture??
edit: Ok, I got it, there is the old way, the new way, and there is the old way via the new way:
FB.ui(
{
method: 'stream.publish',
attachment: attachment,
action_links: action_link
}
,
function(response)
{
//alert('callback');
}
);
