[ANN] iOS post to Facebook, twitter and sina weibo
Posted: Wed Oct 24, 2012 3:43 am
Hi LiveCoders
Today I have released a new external for iOS called mergSocial. This one allows you to present a modal dialog for posting to facebook. twitter and sina weibo using the standard iOS 6 interface. The external allows you to specify some initial text, a list of images and a list of urls to post. With the release of this external mergTwitter will be deprecated as mergSocial on iOS 5 will use the Twitter framework to post to twitter. The external also includes the deprecated mergTwitter syntax or backwards compatibility. All this is nicely wrapped up for you into a single function to check if the service is available and a single command to present the view. Make some Objective-C coders jealous and add this to your app in 2 minutes. Here I'll write the code for you:
You will want to use mergSocialIsAvailableForServiceType("facebook") somewhere in your openCard handler to work out if you should enable that button. That's it!
mergSocial is available for purchase from http://mergext.com for $29 or as part of the iOS suite of externals. The price for the suite is doubling next week but you still have a chance to lock in the current pricing.
