help using the open graph

[rhadu]

Can someone please direct me in the right direction of implementing a custom story using the open graph?

i tried the following code but it doesn't even fire. i know i'm doing something wrong.

facebookConnectPlugin.api('me/Claimed:find?method=post&fb:explicitly_shared=true&message=You should really try this app', ['publish_actions'],
function(response) {
// Return the id of the posted element !
console.log(response);
},
function(error) {
console.log(error);
}
);

do i also have to do something else in the facebook developer dashboard as long as i'm in development stage?
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hi,

I had a similar problem and implemented a custom apiPost method to reflect the Facebook JS SDK API (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/javascript/reference/FB.api)

It is a fix for the web version only at the moment.
You need to add this method to the facebookConnectPlugin.js:

apiPost: function (graphPath, method, object, s, f) {
        try {
            FB.api(graphPath, method, object, function (response){
                if (response.error) {
                    f(response);
                } else {
                    s(response);
                }
            });
        } catch (error) {
            if (!f) {
                console.error(error.message);
            } else {
                f(error.message);
            }
        }
    }

Success and error callbacks are handled like the rest of the plugin.
I think the normal api method only supports GET methods to retrieve information, but not to post a custom story.

This fix still needs testing with the mobile app SDKs on Android and iOS.

Fix gets overwritten by the injected JS file upon build :(

Hi mellinger,

you need to check where you edit the facebookConnectPlugin.js.
If you edit it in the destination folder of a platform, it may get overwritten by the cordova build process for each platform.
So I suggest to double check that.
Since I'm only using this fix for the web version atm, I manually copied it into my deployment folder.
After a while I build a grunt task for it.

I'm beginning with the implementation for this feature for Android now. I'll keep you posted and will submit a pull request when it is done.

Cheers

Chau

Thanks for your response! I've just been using the HTTP API, excited to see it in though.
