How i can get the privacy setting of a just uploaded picture? - ios

In my app i have this code to share in my facebook wall a picture:
-(void)PictureShare{
NSMutableDictionary* params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:#"Appname", #"message", nil];
[params setObject:MyPicture forKey:#"source"];
[FBRequestConnection startWithGraphPath:#"me/photos"
parameters:params
HTTPMethod:#"POST"
completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection,
id result,
NSError *error)
{
if (error)
{
//showing an alert for failure
}
else
{
//showing an alert for success
}
}];
}
This method works correctly but i want to know the privacy settings of the picture that i have just uploaded, it is shared in "Public","Only friends" or maybe "Only me"?. How i can do? the result dictionary returns only post_it and photo_id.

You set the privacy using the privacy parameter. From the documentation:
Determines the privacy settings of the photo. If not supplied, this defaults to the privacy level granted to the app in the Login Dialog. This field cannot be used to set a more open privacy setting than the one granted.

Chek just updated photo permission on Facebook

I'm using this code to upload a photo on the Facebook user wall but the result dictionary return to me only photoid and postid, i need to know the permission level of the post that i have just share (during sharing process in native app the user can select Public,friends,only me...), There a way to know this permission?
NSMutableDictionary* params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:#"", #"message", nil];
[params setObject:Picture forKey:#"source"];
[FBRequestConnection startWithGraphPath:#"me/photos"
parameters:params
HTTPMethod:#"POST"
completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection,
id result,
NSError *error)
{
if (error)
{
//showing an alert for failure
}
else
{
//showing an alert for success
NSString *phoId=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[result valueForKey:#"id"]];
NSString *PostId=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[result valueForKey:#"post_id"]];
}
}];
You can do another Graph API Call using the post id of the photo you have just uploaded. The specific field you want to ask for is called 'privacy'. This field is an object. One of its properties is 'value', which can be one of the following:
Everyone
All Friends
Friends of Friends
Self
Custom
From this, you can check the privacy people have specified on your post and adjust accordingly.

How to Post image on FB Users wall with the message ?(without using URL for image)

I am trying to post on users wall using ios app by using FB New graph API 3.17.1.But when I post using the graph path me/photos, it will create an bunch of post at one location instead of posting the images as separate story.
I did lot of R&D and found this Post photo on user's wall using Facebook iOS SDK
I used below method to post on user's wall
NSMutableDictionary* postParams = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:
#"<Image URL>", #"picture",
#"Facebook SDK for iOS", #"name",
#"build apps.", #"caption",
#"testing for my app.", #"description",
nil];
[FBRequestConnection startWithGraphPath:#"me/feed"
parameters:postParams
HTTPMethod:#"POST"
completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, id result,NSError *error)
{
if (error)
{
NSLog(#"Error in uploading the photo %#",error);
}
}];
This method does paste the image on user's wall but for this image has to be uploaded somewhere on internet and we have supply the URL of same.And additionally it makes image visibility very less compared to image posted using me/potos.
[FBRequestConnection startWithGraphPath:#"me/photos" parameters:params
HTTPMethod:#"POST"
completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection*connection, id result, NSError *error)
{
NSLog(#"Error : %#",error);
NSLog(#"%#",result);
}];
I used above method but it will group the photos into bunch and make the album on the users wall after 3-4 post. And additionally it has limitation of max 25 post per app per day. So this method is negligible.
Please let me know any alternative way, if anyone has used.I would be very thankful.

how to share dictionary on facebook in iOS?

I am trying to post dictionary to facebook in which image is attached, when user click on the image then should redirect the user to a link. I need to share the dictionary in the format shown in the attached image. If anybody knows that how can I achieve
the attached format then please let me know.
Please try this code , i also use this code for my app and resolve a issue ..
- (void)sendDataOnfacebook {
[self performPublishAction:^{
NSMutableDictionary *params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:#"FASHMOD", #"name",
strFBPostUrl,#"link",
strFBPostTitle, #"message",
strFBPostImageUrl,#"picture",
#"Be a fashion model",#"description",nil];
[FBRequestConnection startWithGraphPath:#"me/feed"
parameters:params
HTTPMethod:#"POST"
completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection,id result,NSError *error)
{
NSLog(#"Shared successfully");
NSLog(#"status %# %# ",result,error);

Sharing to Facebook Wall

I am using facebook sdk and need to share details to facebook timeline. I am using the following api call.
[FBRequestConnection startWithGraphPath:#"/feed"
parameters:dictionary
HTTPMethod:#"POST"
completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection,
id result,
NSError *error)
{
if (!error) {
[VBUtility showAlertWithTitle:#"Facebook" message:#"Deal details posted successfully"];
}
}];
The story is published on facebook, not at user's timeline but user's newsfeed (The document tells this method does - posts and links published by this person or others on their profile.). I have also tried with /home method call. While I tried with the built in facebook share,
SLComposeViewController *fbPost = [SLComposeViewController
composeViewControllerForServiceType:SLServiceTypeFacebook];
it is perfectly published to user's timeline as well as in news feed. I have configured the app in the developer.facebook.com. Do I need to mention any permissions here. Does any one can help me finding the mistake?
Permission Request,
NSArray *permissions = [[NSArray alloc]initWithObjects:#"publish_actions",#"user_birthday",#"publish_stream",#"user_about_me",#"email",#"basic_info",nil];
The parameters passed are,
NSMutableDictionary *dictionary = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
app_id, #"app_id",
name,#"name",
caption, #"caption",
description,#"description",
link, #"link",
picture, #"picture",
#"1",#"fb:explicitly_shared",
nil];
Try this,
[FBRequestConnection startWithGraphPath:#"me/feed"
parameters:dictionary
HTTPMethod:#"POST"
completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection,
id result,
NSError *error)
{
if (!error) {
[VBUtility showAlertWithTitle:#"Facebook" message:#"Deal details posted successfully"];
}
}];
I changed little bit from your code. Change your path as #"me/feed". I hope, this may help you.

Have an active accesstoken, but still getting the error - An active access token must be used to query information about the current user

An active accesstoken is available, but I am still getting an error while using the latest Facebook SDK like
code = 2500;
message = "An active access token must be used to query information about the current user.";
Below is the code I am using.
if (!appDelegate.session.isOpen)
{
appDelegate.session = [[FBSession alloc] initWithPermissions:[NSArray arrayWithObject:#"status_update"]];
NSLog(#"Access Token Available == %#", appDelegate.session.accessTokenData.accessToken);
[FBRequestConnection startWithGraphPath:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"me/feed"] parameters:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:#"Testing from iOS", #"description",#"Testing FB Status Update", #"message", nil] HTTPMethod:#"POST" completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error){
if(error)
{
NSLog(#"Error = %#", error);
}
else
NSLog(#"Posted !");
}];
}
What is the actual problem...?
Thanks
In the parameter list add access_token parameter too.
You can also verify the access token here: http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
I reckon you don't have the permission granted for the query. Have the user allowed the app to get the info you are trying? Try out the tools on the developers.facebook.com. Very useful to debug the API.
