Post photos in Facebook for High Score

Social Media
1

Hello, I want to post in a High Score in Facebook, and I had used the example of Corona SDK and it is running right.

The problem is, when I change the image, for my image the post failed.

example code:

–

if fbCommand == POST_PHOTO then

local attachment = {

name = “Developing a Facebook Connect app using the Corona SDK!”,

link = "http://www.coronalabs.com/links/forum",

caption = “Link caption”,

description = “Corona SDK for developing iOS and Android apps with the same code base.”,

picture = "http://www.coronalabs.com/links/demo/Corona90x90.png",

actions = json.encode( { { name = “Learn More”, link = “http://coronalabs.com” } } )

}

facebook.request( “me/feed”, “POST”, attachment ) – posting the photo

end

I change for, the file is in my folder

picture = “logo.png”,

Thank You

Please try to build the Facebook sample app and see if that works for you.  If it does, see how your code differs from the Sample App.

Hi @mperezsoriano,

For posting photos localized to your app, the method differs slightly. Please see the guide here for details:

Hello Brent, thank you for your answer, but if I write the code expecificate in this page.

local attachment = {
message = “My text”,
source = {
baseDir=system.DocumentsDirectory,
filename=“logo.png”,
type=“image”
}
}

facebook.request( “me/photos”, “POST”, attachment )

The return is POST FAILED.

Is that file located in the app’s Documents directory? If it’s in the Resource directory, it won’t find the file, and thus it will fail.

Hey Rob,

Mine was rejected 4 weeks ago.

So they changed it?

Best regards

It’s been in their ToS since 2011 (ish) but they’ve only recently (this year, with new app review process) been enforcing it.

Even if you manage to sneak one by their reviewers, if they later learn about it (probably via a complaint, tho there are ‘rumors’ they can detect auto-fill spam patterns) then you’ll get a notice telling you to correct it or get banned, and if no corrective action then banned.  hth

Christian, I think you might have mis-read me.  Facebook is rejecting apps that pre-fill out text.

You’re right Rob  :-D

I misinterpret your “Facebook is not permitting filled out messages any longer.” because that was my tip to the other guys in my previous post ^^
