How To Post To Friend's Wall Via Facebook

Getting Started Newbie Questions
1

Hi all, I’m newbie in corona. Now i want to try post to my friend’s wall. I used :

 

facebook.request( "[FriendUserID]/feed", "POST", attachment )

 

 

But now, it doesn’t work. I receive messenger

“(#200) Feed story publishing to other users is disabled for this application.”

 

I found the reason because changes of fb on Feb - 6 - 2013. So now, how can I post to my friend’s wall ?

 

Thanks

@letuan889, you need to use facebook.showDialog function to post on your friend’s wall.

Hi,

 

I assume there is still no way of using the facebook.showDialog with a picture file on my phone? Is it still where it will only work with a file from a url link?

Does anyone know how to use the showDialog to post a picture from the device and not a url link?
