Question

I’m trying to integrate Facebook sharing into a webpage using this code edited from their official developer tutorial, but I’m not having any luck.

function postToFacebook(item_id)
{

  FB.api(
    '/me/completeset:display',
    'post',
    { item: 'http://completeset.us/item/'+item_id },
    function(response) {
       if (!response || response.error) {
          alert('Error occured');
       } else {
          alert('Share was successful! Action ID: ' + response.id);
       }
    }); //End api
}

I’ve got the app set up, with an “item” object and the “defined” action defined. I haven’t been able to submit the action yet though, because I haven’t been able to post anything with it yet. I’ve verified that the item_id is being passed in correctly, and I’ve debugged the url using their debugging tool. When I call this function I’m getting unknown path components/ completeset:display. I haven’t been able to find much information on this error, so I’m wondering: what are the causes, and how might I be able to fix it?

Answer 1

The names mismatched. The getCode link for the action on facebook displayed the name of the action as being show_off for some reason. It was the same problem as the linked question. I experimented with the app backend and found that if you create an action with one name and then change the name of it, it will display with the new name but you must still reference it using the old name in the code.
