I am using the JavaScript SDK to login in the user on my website via Facebook, requiring the publish_actions permission. If I am getting it right, Open Graph stories published by using publish_actions are only visible for users who have their timeline enabled.
Is it possible to automatically activate the users’ timeline after he logged in to my application and gave me the publish_actions permissions. I’ve seen authentication dialogs around the web where applications request the publish_actions permission and after granting the permission and logging in, the user automatically has the new timeline enabled.
I already searched a lot, but unfortunately I could not find anything in the developer documentation about how to do that.
How do I accomplish this?
If you request the
publish_actionspermission from the user and you have the action approved by Facebook, the message you talk about will appear in the login popup. Facebook automatically adds this message in as the features are only available with the new timeline profile. There isn’t a setting you need to configure to add this message in.
