I’ve been working tirelessly for the last eight or so hours trying to format my WordPress blog in a way that means that a user can click a button and publish the article to a ticker, by using the Open Graph settings for Article.

I have been using the tutorial found here.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to complete it as every time I click the “Publish” button I have created, I get an error message pops up.

When using Facebook’s debugger I see no problems and all the necessary tags are in place (I have a plugin that does it for me, which is perfect).

Here are the alterations I have made to my header.php file to fit in with the tutorial:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en-US"
      xmlns:fb="https://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">

Added the following before </head>:

<script type="text/javascript">
  function postArticle()
  {
      FB.api(
        '/me/[NAMESPACE]:read?Article=<?php get_permalink() ?>',
        'post',
        function(response) {
           if (!response || response.error) {
              alert('Error occured');
           } else {
              alert('Successful! Action ID: ' + response.id);
           }
        });
  }
  </script>

Placed a login button clearly that asks permission:

    <div id="fb-root"></div>
     <script>
     window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
      FB.init({
        appId      : '[APPLICATION ID]', // App ID
        status     : true, // check login status
        cookie     : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session
        xfbml      : true  // parse XFBML
      });
     };

     // Load the SDK Asynchronously
     (function(d){
      var js, id = 'facebook-jssdk'; if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}
      js = d.createElement('script'); js.id = id; js.async = true;
      js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js";
      d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(js);
     }(document));
     </script>

     <fb:login-button perms="email,publish_actions,user_actions.news">
    Login with Facebook
    </fb:login-button>

And finally placed the following at the point on the page where I want the button to appear:

<fb:add-to-timeline></fb:add-to-timeline>
 <form>
 <input type="button" value="Publish" onclick="postArticle()" />
 </form>

On my Open Graph settings, I have the action type ‘Read’ as well as the object type ‘Article’.

How come this isn’t working for me?

    Its works for me, trough that tutorial.

    Did you add opengraph tags in your Head Section, like..

    <head prefix="og: http://ogp.me/ns# [YOUR_APP_NAMESPACE]: 
                  http://ogp.me/ns/apps/[YOUR_APP_NAMESPACE]#">
  <title>OG Tutorial App</title>
  <meta property="fb:app_id" content="[YOUR_APP_ID]" /> 
  <meta property="og:type" content="[YOUR_APP_NAMESPACE]:recipe" /> 
  <meta property="og:title" content="[YOUR_TITLEIts]" /> 
  <meta property="og:image" content="http://fbwerks.com:8000/zhen/cookie.jpg" /> 
  <meta property="og:description" content="The Turducken of Cookies" /> 
  <meta property="og:url" content="http://fbwerks.com:8000/zhen/cookie.html">
</head>
