Question

I have been searching for facebook publishing without showing Dialogue.
While reading Facebook developers doc, there are several things which seems to answer the question but after using them, I concluded those are not for this functionality.

1. Display Modes: They are different type of display mode for dialogues, but there is no way to define if I don’t want to show the dialogue.
2. Explicit Sharing: This seems to be most close. But there is no way to use it in JS SDK. And the parameter mentioned there, I tried in JS but no resolution.

Then here what came to be most successful for me, to use

methode: ‘/me/feed’

But the problem is, it says:

[User] shared a link

Which I don’t want. I want a normal publishing, but without any dialogue to be displayed.

Code I am using for simple publishing is below:

function publishNewsFeed(picURL, name, caption, description)
{
    var obj = 
    {
      method: 'feed',
      link: fbAppURL,
      picture: picURL,
      name: name,
      caption: caption,
      description: description
    };
    function callback(response) 
    {
      document.getElementById('msg').innerHTML = "Post ID: " + response['post_id'];
    }          

    FB.ui(obj, callback);
}

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Display Modes: They are different type of display mode for dialogues, but there is no way to define if I don’t want to show the dialogue.

That would be nonsense – if you don’t want to use a dialog, then don’t use a dialog.

But if you want to use a dialog, then it has to be “shown” in some way – otherwise it would not be a dialog.

But the problem is, it says [User] shared a link Which I don’t want.

That is current “bug” – if you supply action links with your post, it will show up normal.
