have you integrated your project with facebook before you run into this problem?
if so, it's not so complicated else, yes it's complicated here is the way to do so using javascript if you have integrated your application with facebook previously: use this method: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/?u=facebook.jslib.FB.Connect.streamPublish set the attachment, action_links, target_id to null if u open the link above, u'll find this sentence: " If you specify a target_id then the post appears on the Wall of the target and not the user posting the item" but, if the target_id is null, then it's assumed that the target is the user him/herself if you haven't integrated your application with facebook previously: basically u have to create a facebook application (warning: you would absolutely need web hosting since facebook requires your application, even for development purpose, to run on internet, not intranet, let alone pc) then u need to initialize the facebook application using this method: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/?u=facebook.jslib.FB.Facebook.init then use this method: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/?u=facebook.jslib.FB.Connect.streamPublish set the attachment, action_links, target_id to null if u open the link above, u'll find this sentence: " If you specify a target_id then the post appears on the Wall of the target and not the user posting the item" but, if the target_id is null, then it's assumed that the target is the user him/herself On Dec 28, 8:37 pm, comopasta Gr <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm working on a site where users can update their Twitter and Facebook > status.
