Question

I am trying to post a message on my friend’s Facebook wall using Koala Gem in my Web Application.

I am trying using the following code

@user.put_wall_post("Hey, Welcome to the Web Application!!!!",{:name => "Friend's Name"} )

I have also tried replacing the name of my friend with his Facebook Id, but it is of no help…

@user.put_wall_post("Hey, Welcome to the Web Application!!!!",{:name => "10001010101010"} )

But, both the above methods post the message on my wall. What am I wrong with??

Answer 1

The name symbol doesn’t represent the name of the user on Facebook but the title of the message! Try this instead:

@user.put_wall_post("Hey, Welcome to the Web Application!!!!", {:name => "..."}, "id_of_your_friend") 

Tell me if it works.
