Question

I’m experiencing an issue with http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/post/. Namely, option called “with_tags”.

options = {
    "message": "Test123", 
    "with_tags": {
        "data":[
            {"id": 100001686722916, "name": "Aret Aret"}
        ]
    }
};
FB.api('/me/feed', 'post', options, function(response) {
    if (!response || response.error) {
        alert('Error occured');
        console.log(response);
    } else {
        console.log(response);
    }
});

As a result, I just get a message “Test123” but no “with” tags in my post. The user I use in “with” section is on my friends list and is a developer of the app as well.
Thanks.

I actually think the “with_tags” option is read only when returning the feed object. It’s not an option you can POST https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/feed/#graphapicall .I think what you want to use is just “tags” and it should just contain id’s as specified here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user/#posts

**note you cannot do this though without also specifying a place

EDIT****
Facebook have now released mention tagging which might be the solution you need
