Like Facebook, follow Twitter

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Hi,
I am looking for the best solution to offer our users a button to follow our twitter account and like our facebook page.

-Recently apple has added a facebook like button embedded on game center, but I don’t know how to enable it for my applications.

-Otherwise, any ideas for implementing a “Facebook like” and a “Twitter follow” button in my apps? Could not find the information on the facebook api.

-Finally. Is it possible to check wheter a user likes my facebook page? Something like:

facebook.request( "me/like", "GET", ... )

Thanks, any help will be appreciated

I have not found a good way to “Like” a page from an app. Following someone on twitter should be a bit easier [import]uid: 19626 topic_id: 32458 reply_id: 129107[/import]

Apparently there exists the Facebook Like Open Graph action since quite rencetly.

The problem is I dont know how to use it from the Corona facebook api. Can you give me any help with that?

The following page shows an example using an HTTP call:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/actions/builtin/likes/

and the “like” method is also present on the Graph Api in here
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/

I just don’t know how I should deal with the params in Corona

This process is one of the nastiest I’ve every looked at. You have to submit your app for approval, which means uploading a bunch of screen shots and different icon and promo sizes. Then once that’s approved, it looks like you then submit your action to be approved. Then after that you might be able to make an API call.

When I first looked at it and there’s bits of HTML and stuff, I gave up. I dug into it a bit more tonight and now I’m just seriouslly irritated about it.

This should not be that stinkin’ difficult. [import]uid: 19626 topic_id: 32458 reply_id: 129297[/import]

Haha ok,
same for me, It gives me headache everytime I dig into facebook api, It looks quite unclear to say the least.

I think I’ll just put a link to the fb page for now, I’m not willing to spend half of the development time to set up a “like” button.

Thanks anyway for your help.
Hope they’ll simplify the process in the future
