LiveCode Forums.

can anyone help with interfacing with facebook? I'm only looking to basically post a screenshot and tag a friend. any help is appreciated. Thank you

Murry-- Are you a programmer? It could get complicated.

Reading web pages off of FaceBook is fairly easy.
Here's a great little Browser Example I found. But to add or update a FaceBook page from LiveCode you'd need
to dig into the FaceBook API (advanced programming interface)
http://developers.facebook.com/

no, I am not a programmer. I am new at writing apps, and have a complete working application that i would like to post an image to facebook of a Card in my stack. do this with. I am currently working on this but am having a difficult time. I've been on the facebook developers site for the past two weeks learning as much as i can. My main issue is getting this to work with "LiveCode". Facebook gives you the code to use with Xcode, but nothing for LiveCode. This is where my problem exists. Basically, I don't know what to tell LiveCode to do in order for this to work... any help would be a breath of fresh air as I am currently at a standstill. Thank You for the reply

Hi,

Thanks to those that contributed with my little fundraising campaign, I am now able to release a minimal facebook library. There is still much work to be done and I don't plan to stop it.

You can learn more about my Social Network Library Suite here: http://andregarzia.com/page/socialsuite

You can browse the mercurial repository here: http://hg.andregarzia.com/livecode-socialsuite

I am still raising funds for this suite, so, don't loose your chance to contribute.

WHAT IS AVAILABLE:

* lib.aag.json.livecode - a minimal JSON library. BSD License.
* lib.aag.facebook.livecode - a simple low level facebook library.
* examples/facebook/simpleposter.livecode - a sample stack that posts to a user wall.

Remember this library is GPL licensed. You can only build FREE, OPEN SOURCE software with it. If you want a commercial version, then, you'd better join the fundraising.

So guys, can you please test?

By the way, you will need to register your application on http://developer.facebook.com. After registering, you will need to pick your application id and application secret and fill the setup card on the example stack.
