"Click here to post on your Wall/Stream/Feed" How do I do this?
Posted Thu, 01/19/2012 - 17:47 by 582403734@facebook

On this page in the tour: http://www.drupalforfacebook.org/node/7/dff_tour/form there is a link to "Click her eto post on your Wall/Stream/Feed". How does one embed this content in arbitrary text?

My module successfully adds the like button to specific nodes (thanks to fb_example.module), but I'm not quite sure how to get the code above going.

How the tour posts to your wall

That example uses a couple helper functions in the fb_stream.module.

<?php
  fb_stream_publish_dialog(
    array(
      'message' => t('I checked out Drupal for Facebook and I think it is !opinion.', array(
                       '!opinion' => $_REQUEST['opinion'],
                     )),
      'attachment' => $attachment,
      'action_links' => $actions,
    ));
  $js = fb_stream_js(fb_stream_get_stream_dialog_data());
?>

Then that javascript is put into the markup:

  <h2>Posting to Facebook</h2>
  <p>OK, almost done.  On this last page we show how our app posts content to facebook.  This lets users communicate with their friends and may spread our app virally.</p>
  <p>A popular way to share is the facebook Wall.  Also known as Feed or Stream (facebook - pick a name and stick with it!)</p>
    <p><a href="#" onclick='<?php print($js[0])?>; return false;'>Click here to post on your Wall/Stream/Feed</a> (Click just to see the dialog, then <em>Skip</em> if you do not want to post.)</p>

It's not the only way to accomplish this sort of thing. There are other examples in fb_example.module.

I've got some additional features for fb_stream.module on the way. I'll post to www.drupalforfacebook.org when those are available.
