Advanced Facebook integration

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Hi,

I’d like to have more than just the ability to post to the wall on facebook.
Ideally, what I’d like to have is a high-scores system based on your facebook friends, including publishing things like “Name1 just passed Name2’s top score in [game name]”.
I think this can generate much more traction since people love to compete with their friends.
Does it require developing my own facebook app independently from Corona?
Is this even possible?

Thanks!

I’m not quite sure how you’d go about this as I haven’t tackled it myself but I believe Jon Beebe did write a tutorial on a facebook leaderboard between friends, you may be able to dig that up using Google. (IIRC it was on his personal site.) [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 27767 reply_id: 112507[/import]

Found it! Hope it still works with the Graph API.

Looks a bit old thought… wonder if it will still work.
Anyone tried it recently? [import]uid: 150930 topic_id: 27767 reply_id: 112628[/import]

Update:

I emailed Jon Beebe about this and this is what he had to say:

_That article is very old, and probably won’t work since Facebook has been requiring single sign-on (new Facebook API in Corona supports it). However, with some adaptation, the article could work but I can’t be sure as it was written well over a year ago.

Feel free to use and modify the source at will though._

Does anyone know what it would take to make the necessary changes for it to work? [import]uid: 150930 topic_id: 27767 reply_id: 112684[/import]
