Help - Share to Facebook using the native.showPopup("social", "facebook")

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Im trying to create a share panel in my new game…

Im using http://coronalabs.com/blog/2014/04/15/tutorial-creating-a-sharing-panel/ 

I can send sms and email, but for twitter and Facebook… the line:

[lua]

– popupName = “social” , service = “facebook” 

local isAvailable = native.canShowPopup( popupName, service )[/lua]

Always returns false, and therefore I can’t share to Facebook and twitter.

Any idea why?

Im using iPhone 4S for testing, IOS7, and registered to Facebook and twitter in the Settings App

Thanks in advance

Roy.

Hi @POM,

Are you trying to use the Social Plugin? This plugin is restricted to Pro/Enterprise users, so it won’t be available at your subscription level. It seems like you commented out that line, however… I think we’ll need to see more complete code than the 2 lines you’ve provided.

Thanks,

Brent

Ok so that might be the problem… Is there a way to post to Facebook and Twitter with the Basic subscription? Or are social media only for pro/enterprise ?

Thanks

The following tutorials should be helpful to you, and neither requires the Social plugin:
