Request for 'Post to User Wall' recipe

The example code uses a dialog box. If it's not working, look in both drupal log and firebug console (for javascript errors). That approach does not require stream_publish permission. You should see this behavior working on drupalforfacebook.org forums. If there's a problem with the handbook regarding this, I'm not aware of it

With stream_publish permission granted, you can post to walls without the dialog box appearing. The modern way to do this is a POST to facebook's graph API. Agreed that fb_stream.module should help with this. It doesn't yet, and that might be the first thing in a 3.1 release. And yeah that could use documentation, too.

The suspicious URL is not an error, you don't need to worry about it too much. (I'll change it to look like a warning instead of error)

Or put another way, it can be an error in some cases. But if your site is accessable from multiple URLs, then you will see that message as long as fb_devel.module is enabled. Generally it should be disabled once your site is working properly.

If you ever make a copy of your site, say for developing, and you copy the database from your live site to the local copy, then you'll see the error and it really will be a problem, because your local copy should not be using the same facebook application as the live site.

News feed, wall - same thing really. Your wall is posts to your feed and your friends' feeds.

I don't know anything about mobile tools. Not sure why there are problems when it is enabled.

I read the README.txt from start to finish

I am having a similar issues to bcobin. I am trying to post to my Users facebook wall but nothing ever appears.
Steps to date:
1. Setup Drupal for facebook based on the readme.txt file and the setup support found in the Documentation(http://drupal.org/node/912614)

2. Enable FB Connect. All FB modules are now enabled save for User registration - example apps are enabled.

3. Login Via FB Connect - This works for me. Not sure why bcobin had an issue

3. a) I have enabled the following Extended Permissions: News Feed & Wall - access my News Feed & Wall (read_stream),Status Updates - update my status (status_update), Events - create and modify events (create_event),Offline Access - access my data when I'm not using the application (offline_access), Publish to my Wall - publish content to my Wall (publish_stream)

4.Go to My Account - Facebook tab and Application tab are both there. Facebook tab has greyed-out check mark (already connected) and [Application] tab shows application - clicking on link goes to FB apps. All this looks good.

5.Go to a post - hit Edit. Share on Facebook checkboxes are enabled - there are two of them. (?) I leave only the first one checked. (Second one is perhaps for an attached image CCK field I have?)

6. Save Node

Nothing Appears on my wall.

I have FB Development tools enabled and i can view the block output. In the "Session" section I can see that my fb_strem_dialogs data is there.

What can I test next? How can I tell if the drupal site is interacting with facebook at this point?

It's weird that you see two checkboxes.

Start by enabling firebug or whatever for your browser and looking for javascript errors.

Hi Dave. Thanks for the reply

I figured out why i had the duplicate facebook checkboxes. I had the Example module enable as well as my custom module and they both had the code for the checkbox in them. I have disabled my module and I am just testing using the Example Module.

There are no javascript errors. I do not see any javascript action at all. How is Drupal For FB suppose to submit the wallpost to Facebook? I guess I do not understand how the module's stream.publish pushes the data to facebook. I think that is why I can not debug it. Can you give me some insight into this process?

The way it works is...

1) node is saved
2) fb_example.module stores the details
3) drupal goes to node/NNN URL.
4) fb_example uses the stored details to call stream.publish, which brings up a dialog allowing the user to publish the message. Nothing is actually sent to the wall until the user submits the popup.

If you have some other javascript redirecting the page, or causing an error, that could prevent it from working.

I am not getting any javascript errors.

I thought the code in the Example module would actually post to facebook directly without the dialog box. If not what is the point of the form Share on Facebook checkbox.

It works that way for historical reasons. It's now possible to post automatically, if user has granted extended perms, but modules have not been updated to support that, at least not yet. The example is the closest you can get to automatically posting when the extended perm has not been granted.

Hi Dave,

How can one do this programmatically? What fb function do I need to call to post a message to User Wall?

I have content from my own custom module that I need to allow users to post to their walls. The content does not hit the node api at all so I'm curious how to do this programmatically as well.

fb_stream uses code like the following to post to user wall.

The trick is to build the $params array with the right content for your post. Also the users access_token.

Take a look at fb_stream_nodeapi(), for a working example. Please post your useful snippets here (or the doc pages) so others can learn from the example.

        try {
          $result = fb_graph('me/feed', $params, 'POST');
          // Result should include an id of the post, but we can't query the single post via the graph.                             
          if ($result['id']) {
            // TODO: link to proper wall.                                                                                           
            drupal_set_message(t('Content posted to Facebook.'));
          }
        }
        catch (Exception $e) {
          drupal_set_message(t('Unable to post content to facebook.'), 'warning');
          fb_log_exception($e, t('Post to Facebook stream failed.'));
        }
