Question

I am building a FB canvas app that has share functionality, my plan is to use FB.ui() dialos for this purpose.

My research came up with two methods of doing this:

• the send dialog which allows sharing as a private message
• the feed dialog which allows sharing on the wall/timeline

however, when i share a link via my time line i get a more the more advanced dialog which allows many different options of sharing (having several options, timeline, friends timeline, group, page or private message)

My Question: Is there any way of geting the advanced share dialog in my own app?

Answer 1

You can redirect users to the old share pages, or display this in a popup.

This is slightly less flexible than FB.ui – no action links etc. But, it does give you those advanced sharing options.
