Question

I m trying to call a Feed Form in my Facebook application and I m not sure how to do so. I m not familiar with the FBJS and its API. Specifically I need the following dialogue to show up: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Feed_Forms

Here s what I got for now:

<script type="text/javascript">
var attachment = <?php echo json_encode($attachment); ?>;
return attachment;
Facebook.streamPublish(<?php echo $message; ?>, attachment, null, <?php echo $user; ?>);
</script>

Is there anything else I need to do in order to properly call a Feed form? A code example would help me a lot if anyone is willing to write one up.

Answer 1

For FBML canvas pages, all you need to do is execute the command as follows:

<script type="text/javascript">

var attachment = <?php echo json_encode($attachment); ?>;

Facebook.streamPublish(  , attachment, null);       

</script>

That should easily bring up the Feed Form.

Answer 2

Here s an example I use from a Facebook Connect site that I operate:

var message =  This is my message! ;
var attachment = {
     name : Page name ,
     href : http://mysite.com ,
     caption : Some kind of caption ;
};
attachment.media = [{ type : image , src : http://mysite.com/images/lolcat.jpg , href : http://mysite.com }];
var action_links = [{ text : Action Link! , href : http://mysite.com }];
FB.Connect.streamPublish(message, attachment, action_links);

The FB.Connect methods are almost identical to the normal JS methods, so something similar should be working for you.

I would point out that you have <?php echo $message; ?> as the first parameter to your Facebook.streamPublish() call. Assuming $message is a text string, then you need to wrap that output in quotes in order for it to be valid Javascript. As well, the return attachment; line doesn t make much sense to me. Why is there a return statement there? I would change your code to this:

<script type="text/javascript">
var attachment = <?php echo json_encode($attachment); ?>;
Facebook.streamPublish( <?php echo addslashes($message); ?> , attachment, null, <?php echo $user; ?>);
</script>
