you had the right idea.
generate a link like this

 local appID = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"  
 local redirectUri = "http://www.canupa.com/"  
 local fbLink = "http://www.canupa.com/products/"  
 local fbPic = "http://canupa.com/images/stories/canupa\_logo\_tm.jpg"  
 local fbName = "AppName"  
  
 -- do a native.showWebPopup() and open the generated link.  
 native.showWebPopup(20, 20, display.contentWidth - 40, display.contentHeight - 160, "http://www.facebook.com/dialog/feed?display=touch&app\_id="..appID.."&redirect\_uri="..redirectUri.."&link="..fbLink.."&picture="..fbPic.."&name="..fbName.."&description="..theString)

go to http://developers.facebook.com/
create a new app (your account has to be verified for this) and add the appID to the link.

Facebook works really well, once you figure out the Single Sign On (SSO) bits and you can use network.request() to do things.

And it’s quite easy…

I don’t have access to my source code to copy and paste something in to show you. I’ll try to do that later today when I’m on that computer. [import]uid: 19626 topic_id: 32310 reply_id: 128625[/import]
