Facebook post with active link (posting messages on facebook with image link)

Alot of facebook related games allow to post achievements to the users wall with an image link on their wall. I am trying to do the same at the moment with this

[blockcode]
facebook.request(“me/feed”, “POST”, {message = “I just scored “…gameScore…” points on a “…ballGameType…” ball game on Arjay’s Blast! Can you beat my score? “…” http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=261580020540897”})
[/blockcode]
the link is only active when clicked but does not display the desired results as if that exact text was posted on the wall which in turn displays an image link. Has anybody had luck with this? Thanks in advanced for any suggestions. [import]uid: 76282 topic_id: 18595 reply_id: 318595[/import]

Normally when posting to a wall you don’t include a link in the actual status message text but do so in the link section, which posts something more like this; http://techority.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/facebookexample.png

Is that what you are trying to achieve or is it more complex than that?

Thanks Peach :slight_smile:
That is exactly the desired results. So is there a link argument that I can use in facebook.request function?

Hey, sorry - time difference :wink:

For the record if you open the CoronaSDK folder on your computer and go SampleCode > Networking > Facebook then there is actually a working button to post this exact kind of thing. (You just had to add your Facebook app ID.)
