Question

Okay this question is very simple: I have a facebook page, and a website. People can post things on the facebook page wall (obviously) and I would like to put a button on my website that lets them post (messages or pictures) to my facebook wall.

Edit: I tried using the comment box and it doesn’t let users post directly to my facebook page wall (which is what I want).

Edit: I’m currently investigating a deprecated facebook functionality using post object

Any ideas ? Anything, even remotely connected to how I can do this is highly appreciated.

Answer 1

To clarify a little bit, I wanted to use a “post” button on my facebook page that lets any users post directly to my facebook page wall, using my facebook app. Here’s what you need to do if you want to do this

1) Get permission for the app to publish on their behalf. For this, the users need to be redirected to:

https://www.facebook.com/login.php?api_key=<your-api-key>&
cancel_url=<your-cancel-url>&display=popup&
fbconnect=1&next=<your-success-url>&
return_session=1&session_version=3&v=1.0&req_perms=email%2Cpublish_stream

2) After you initialize the Facebook Javascript SDK, use the following function:

FB.api('/mypage/feed', 'post', { body: 'the body', message: 'some-text' }, function(response) {
        if (!response || response.error) {
            alert('Error occured');
        } else {
            alert('Post ID: ' + response);
        }
        });
