Facebook help (CARLOSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!)

Hi Tareq, missed this previously, apologies.

You do not need to submit your application to the directory for Facebook posting to work.

The directory means people searching on Facebook can find your app listed but it is not necessary. You do NOT need it in the directory.

As to posting, the score will post to the user’s wall. This means they are sharing it with their friends.

Does that make sense?

Hi y’all,
I’ve been able to post with the new instructions to FB; however, it seems like now passing … ToString(highscore) … or … highscore …
gives the following post:

I collected “table: 0x3135a0” coins.
The characters after “table:” changes based on the actual number.

I went back to techority and found Peach posted a new update on how to post to FB:

-- This code posts a message to your Facebook Wall  
if fbCommand == POST\_MSG then  
local postMsg = {  
message = "I just got my boyfriend grade! I scored " .. testscore .. "% on Boyfriend Grade!",  
name="How do you think YOU compare to me?",  
caption="Get your grade now by downloading Boyfriend Grade for your iPhone!",  
link="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/boyfriend-grade/id421597972?mt=8",  
picture="http://peachpellen.com/bg75.png"  
}  

It seems like … testscore … is the way to go without “ToString”, but no luck for me :frowning:

I had copy/pasted the whole thing as is and replaced with my info and it seems like I’m missing something because it always post with those weird characters.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

peachpellen , now I got it that posting high score in users’ wall,

but the question how can I make people post their comment and their high score in my game page in face book , I want all user know each other score, like doodle jump ,

other question, when user post their scores in their facebook wall, their how their friend know that those scores about my game ?? [import]uid: 13061 topic_id: 4908 reply_id: 37081[/import]

I’ve got the facebook posting a message, link to app in app store, and an image. All works great thanks to everyone’s help on this page.

My question is, is there a way for my app to have facebook remember that the user is logged it, or do they have to sign in, everytime the app restarts or loads.

It remembers the sign in for the session, but if they get interrupted and then have to come back tot he game, they have to sign in again… anyway to get around this?

Thanks,

I have the same question as mudstuffing above. Is there a way to set the facebook login to be persistent like it can be set in browsers? [import]uid: 56820 topic_id: 4908 reply_id: 40070[/import]

Have anyone get this working on Android? I have tried almost everything, but it just doesnt post any message to my wall. If someone have this working on Android, could you share your code, please? [import]uid: 18445 topic_id: 4908 reply_id: 40083[/import]

Hey folks,
i am also trying hard to get facebook to work on my android device (Samsung GT9000, Android 2.2, Facebook App installed).

I am currently wrinting an app which has a close timeline, any help is GREATLY appreciated since FB integration is intended to be one of the key features of this app on iOS and Android…
Thanks in advance

Hey cmuth, this isn’t the appropriate thread which is why you didn’t get an answer previously - so my apologies about that but please in future if you want to ask about FB on Android make a thread in the Android section :wink:

http://developer.anscamobile.com/forum/2011/05/29/facebook-connect-android-never-works

Check the above thread for some info on Facebook on Android devices.

What about this line:

link="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/blahdeblahblah

How can we have an iTunes link, if the App is still in the making? [import]uid: 52900 topic_id: 4908 reply_id: 42885[/import]

Once you have created your app’s page in iTunes connect (which you have to do to get Apple’s App ID for it anyway) you will be able to see your iTunes link :slight_smile: It doesn’t need to be uploaded first.

Thanks Peach…it is these little things that some of us just don’t know…hehe [import]uid: 52900 topic_id: 4908 reply_id: 43032[/import]

No worries, it takes time and experience to learn these things - you’ll get there :wink: [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 4908 reply_id: 43202[/import]

Hi Peach Pellen!
I was taken a look at your post http://techority.com/2011/03/08/add-facebook-posting-to-your-corona-iphone-app/ and I’m wondering, as you, if is possible to post a picture from my app, a picture stored locally.
Did you solve this question?
I heard about uploading it previously to a server but I’m wondering if is there a simplest way…

Regards! [import]uid: 44013 topic_id: 4908 reply_id: 52479[/import]

Ahhhh, I still like seeing this thread… Even back then I was nagging poor Carlos :wink:

In the Facebook sample there code to post an image to a wall, however the image does need to be online somewhere I believe, meaning yes, it would need uploading first.

That said I will take a look around and see if I can find another method and shall let you know if I do :slight_smile:

Peach [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 4908 reply_id: 52629[/import]

Hi Peach!

Thank you so much!
I appreciate so much your help! and hope you find another method, it would be so great.

Keep in touch.

This seems to be the place for facebook questions and Peach seems to be the leader in facebook knowledge (I hope).

For those of you who have tested posting a photo to the facebook wall, does it just come up, login, and then disappear? This seems odd to me that we can’t allow the users to type or edit any of the text in the message. I do this in objective-C all the time.

I posted the details in: http://developer.anscamobile.com/forum/2011/08/23/facebook-api-preview-photo-post

Sorry for duplicate questioning but I’m getting desperate here…

I am NOT the Facebook expert! I started this thread back when I was still pretty new :stuck_out_tongue: I was the one looking for help! (And yelling at Carlos in the process.)

I have however improved in that time :wink:

Anywho; alberto, I will update if I find a solution and I’m sure others can do the same if they happen to find one in the meantime.

David, it’s just how it is. We set the message, they login, it posts. If you want to request that make a thread in the feature request forum :slight_smile:

Hello,

I am wondering… (maybe a stupid thought): what about trying with web popup http://blog.anscamobile.com/2011/08/getting-creative-with-web-popups/
Could we use this feature to post a photo stored locally at the wall of a friend?

What do you thing? [import]uid: 44013 topic_id: 4908 reply_id: 52837[/import]

Obviously, we use javascript or php to do it. [import]uid: 44013 topic_id: 4908 reply_id: 52838[/import]
