Easy Facebook Posting - A New Tutorial

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I have just created the first of what I hope will be many Corona tutorials; it is very, very simple and easy to follow.

I know many people are confused about Facebook (I was) and can’t find all the info they need to get it working exactly as they’d like - so today I created a tutorial from the code I used in my app, Happy Doodle Sushi Smile (currently waiting for review) and put it up on my website.

You can check it out there.

*The site only has one other post up after my little makeover today, but some may find it useful even if Facebook doesn’t appeal to you - it contains information about free graphics, buttons and sounds. :slight_smile:

Enjoy!

No worries at all guys, thanks for the props :slight_smile: (If you wanted to follow on Twitter or add me on FB to show a little love, I’ll return the follow - links on the site :stuck_out_tongue: Just sayin’)

I really wanted to make it easy and accessible for everyone who could be confused; the samples available were good but they weren’t something you could just put into your app and use and have it work beautifully.

I feel SO happy to be able to give something back to the community so early on. :slight_smile: I’m quite proud.

Anyways, if you have any questions just let me know - next up I plan to write something about OpenFeint, or some basic tutorials about playing sounds or something - just to get a nice little section of tutorials going for new converts :slight_smile:

/end little text wall

TL;DR
Thanks for the feedback - hope to post more soon. :stuck_out_tongue:

I have just updated the post; I realized I left out a file that was needed (network.lua) and some people wouldn’t think to grab it from elsewhere - sorry about that.

I’ve also added my own sample project, commented in great detail; it should make things a whole lot easier :slight_smile: [import]uid: 10144 topic_id: 3754 reply_id: 11531[/import]

Has anyone used the facebook.logout() function to logout of the current facebook profile (app)? I’ve been trying with no luck, it closes my app entirely on iOS. I can post messages just fine - just can’t log back out.
