Question

Here is my current setup. I can click a button and post an image and a comment or news story directly to my wall, mainly just doing some simple FBConnect or ShareKit options.

I would like to expand this to something more complex and engrossing/useful. I would like to be able to take a comment or news story, and either send it in a message to someone on Facebook, or post it to any of my friend’s walls.

I believe I will need to use Facebook Open Graph to accomplish this, but am unsure of where to begin. I do have an App setup in Facebook, though it is essentially just for the purpose of SSO with my apps. Could someone direct me to a good tutorial to do what I would like and/or guide me through getting my app set up in Facebook, and then some suggestions for integrating with iPhone?

For posting on Friend’s wall, you can use FB’s graph api. Here you go with the minimal code snippet for publishing something on friend’s wall:

NSMutableDictionary* params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
[params setObject:@"Some text" forKey:@"user_message_prompt"];
[params setObject:@"another text" forKey:@"action_links"];
[params setObject:@"Yet another text" forKey:@"attachment"];
[params setObject:@"SOME FACEBOOK ID" forKey:@"target_id"];

//At some point you need to create the following Facebook instance

[facebook dialog: @"stream.publish" andParams: params andDelegate: self];
