Hi - I’m trying to find a quick and easy way to show a button / image - for both “Facebook Like” and “Twitter Follow”.
I want the user to click on these - and then to go straight to the FB page / Twitter page etc.
Some of the Corona adverts says that social integration is easy (I believe you) but I’m just trying to find some simple code / approach to put these links in.
Any help? Cheers…

Doing a follow on Twitter is reasonable. Our twitter sample app can be modified to call the Twitter API call for follow instead of posting a message and I think there are a couple of libraries running around to do this. I’m pretty sure Graham Ransom’s Glitch Games library as a pretty easy to use twitter library.
Facebook however is a different story. Most of things you would want do with Facebook are relatively easy. Like is not one of those. Facebook intend’s likes to be run from a web page and there isn’t a good or easy example to do a “Like” from an app.
If anyone knows of a way, the community would love it.

Thanks Rob - I’m finding that it’s easy to drive people to the app, but it’s hard to then use their social network to post about the app to hopefully engage with the users followers.
I’ll definitely implement the Twitter piece - as this is where we have the most traction anyway (and I’ll probably use both posting and following.
Thanks!
