Question

I’m trying to post to Facebook using the FBConnect sdk.
When I supply the link for the picture, everything works fine.

But when the picture is missing, none of the other info’s are shown.


Am I doing something wrong or this is a bug in FBConnect.
The code is:

    NSMutableDictionary *params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
        [params setValue:name forKey:@"name"];
        [params setValue:address forKey:@"caption"];
        [params setValue:descrption forKey:@"description"];
        [params setValue:website forKey:@"link"];
        if(thumbnail.serverPath)
            [params setValue:thumbnail.serverPath forKey:@"picture"];

        [facebook dialog:@"feed" andParams:params andDelegate:self];

Answer 1

Figured the problem with the missing information in the feed dialog.
Turned out that, to display the info properly, either link or picture must be set in the params dictionary.
Not sure, why it is so. But anyway, the new code which solved the problem is:

        NSMutableDictionary *params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
        [params setValue:name forKey:@"name"];
        [params setValue:address forKey:@"caption"];
        [params setValue:descrption forKey:@"description"];
        [params setValue:website forKey:@"link"];
        if(thumbnail.serverPath)
            [params setValue:thumbnail.serverPath forKey:@"picture"];

        //IMPORTANT
        //Before posting check that there is a valid link for the picture. 
        //If not, then add  
        //to ensure that rest of the info is displayed correctly in the feed.
        if(![params valueForKey:@"picture"]) {
            [params setValue:@"http://www.abc.com/images/xyz.png" forKey:@"picture"];
        }

        [facebook dialog:@"feed" andParams:params andDelegate:self];
