Question

I’m working on a Facebook app that uses Facebook groups, and I’d like to open up a Feed dialog to let the user post a notice to the group’s feed. I have a user who is in the group and I’ve got the relevant permissions as well.

I’ve tried passing the group’s Facebook id in the https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/feed/ feed dialog, but get a Facebook error. There doesn’t appear to be a programmatic way to do it either: the group’s feed (described at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/group/) isn’t documented to accept POSTs either. Is there a way to post a message to the group using the Graph API or one of the other API methods?

Answer 1

I just made a test and it’s working as any other wall.

I made a POST to ‘GROUP_ID/feed’ with a message variable with a value and it worked. I logged into the app as the group owner.

Using facebook php-sdk:

$facebook->api('GROUP_ID/feed', 'POST', array(
        'message' => 'Testing...'
    )));
