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.

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.
I have used FacebookSDK.framework for Facebook integration in my application. I have to like one facebook page from application. I have used following code for liking page.
NSDictionary *params = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:#"https://www.facebook.com/demoappname"
, #"object",
nil
];
/* make the API call */
[FBRequestConnection startWithGraphPath:#"me/og.likes"
parameters:params
HTTPMethod:#"POST"
completionHandler:^(
FBRequestConnection *connection,
id result,
NSError *error
)
{
NSDictionary *currentResult= [(NSArray *)[result data] objectAtIndex:0];
if(!error)
{
NSLog(#"there is no error");
}
else
{
NSLog(#"There is something wrong at here.");
}
}];
But I am not clear what I have to pass in "object" parameter. Can anybody help to what I am doing wrong at here.
Thanks,
If you read this documentation, it says-
The og.likes action can refer to any open graph object or URL, except for Facebook Pages or Photos.
So, liking a page with Graph API isn't possible.
The only thing you can do- add a Like Button to the page in your app.
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);
}];
}];
}
so I'm trying to post a photo on my Facebook page (I'm admin) from iPhone app. I'm using FB Sessions to create the session, get the read permission, get manage_pages permission, then, I successfully get my Facebook Pages app-ids as a result of
[FBRequestConnection startWithGraphPath:#"/me/accounts" completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error)
{
NSLog(#"%#", [result description]);
}]; // have token, what now?
Which is still fine. Then, I try to post a photo to the app_id/photos feed, and it does not work = it uploads the photo correctly, but shows me (as in my profile) uploading the photo rather then the Page itself. What could be the problem?
Here's the code for the params and the call
NSDictionary *params = [NSDictionary
dictionaryWithObjects: [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
[UIImage imageNamed:#"Icon.png"],
#"This is my first photo post from xcode app", nil]
forKeys:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:
#"source",
#"message", nil]];
[FBRequestConnection startWithGraphPath:#"MyPageID/photos" parameters:params HTTPMethod:#"POST" completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error)
{
NSLog(#"%#", [result description]);
} ];
the [result description] log from the call is fine (it returns the id = xx and "post_id" = yy, which I assume are correct), as is the call itself - the only problem is that it shows me as the author, and not the Page itself.
MyPageID is correct, because calling
NSDictionary *paramsFeed = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"This is my first page post from xcode app", nil] forKeys:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"message", nil]];
[FBRequestConnection startWithGraphPath:#"390106241058188/feed" parameters:paramsFeed HTTPMethod:#"POST" completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection, id result, NSError *error)
{
NSLog(#"result: %#", [result description]);
}];
Also, calling me/photos and posting the photo there with dictionaryKey #"picture" works, and it posts the photo on my own wall perfectly.
Do anyone knows where the problem could be hidden?
I found the solution, although I find it weird that I did not have to do this for the /feed page update
Huge thanks goes for Mr. Arpit Kumar Kulshrestha, who pointed out the right way in my previous incarnation of the problem ( Xcode - how to share photo from iPhone app to Facebook managed page feed )
the solution:
I've tried setting a new FBSession before, but it still had a lot of errors in it, so I've left that route and went to another one. However, it makes perfect sense to do that -
create FBAccessTokenData, which has the Page's token in it, and set other things to the same as the active session - like this
FBAccessTokenData *tokenData = [FBAccessTokenData createTokenFromString:pageTokenString permissions:[FBSession activeSession].accessTokenData.permissions expirationDate:[FBSession activeSession].accessTokenData.expirationDate loginType:FBSessionLoginTypeFacebookApplication refreshDate:nil];
then, one need to create a new FBSession, and what is important, it needs to have set its tokenCacheStrategy to something without data, i.e.[FBSessionTokenCachingStrategy nullCacheInstance] . I did a blank allocation ([[FBSession alloc] init]), and that gave me a lot of errors, however when I use this one
FBSession *sessionFb = [[FBSession alloc] initWithAppID:appID permissions:[NSArray arrayWithObjects: #"publish_stream", #"manage_pages", nil] urlSchemeSuffix:nil tokenCacheStrategy:[FBSessionTokenCachingStrategy nullCacheInstance]];
it works perfectly. And when you have this new session, you want to open the path for the data to come and go, and you can make it like this:
[sessionFb openFromAccessTokenData:tokenData completionHandler:^(FBSession *session, FBSessionState status, NSError *error)
{
}];
and the last part before it starts working correctly is setting the activeSession to this newly allocated and opened session, this way:
[FBSession setActiveSession:sessionFb];
after I've made all of these changes, the photo page sharing started to work magically.
However, I'm still not sure how is it possible that the photo share did not work before but the feed share did.. but this solves my issue.
I'm developing an iOS app that needs to post to the user facebook timeline. I have already asked permissions to publish and everything is working fine.
I want to publish doing the following:
NSMutableDictionary *postParams = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:
#"www.google.com.ar", #"link",
#"http://myimage.pn", #"picture",
#"Test", #"name",
#"location", #"caption",
#"test.",#"description",
#"message to show",#"message",
nil];
[FBRequestConnection
startWithGraphPath:#"me/feed"
parameters:postParams
HTTPMethod:#"POST"
completionHandler:^(FBRequestConnection *connection,
id result,
NSError *error) {
}
But I want the user to be able to personalize the "message" and to personalize it I want to show something similar to this:
And when the user pushes the Post I want to grab the text the user posted and add it to my "message" dictionary and after that do the FBRequestConnection
Anyone knows if this is possible at all??
Thanks!!
No. The native share dialog doesn't support OpenGraph and you cannot modify the contents of it before sending them to Facebook. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/howtos/share-dialogs-ios-sdk/#ios6sharesheet
