hi,

i want to share an image from inside an app to post on facebook.

What would be the best route to do this using the facebook plugin?

thanx

Hi Bas,

Our plugin currently does not support sharing multimedia content directly, this is a feature which probably comes with one of the next updates. For now you can save that image somewhere on a web server and just post that link to Facebook (Facebook adds a preview image to the timeline then).

Best,

Alex

hi Alex,

i have an app in landscape mode, but the facebook dialog is in portrait mode.

can i force the dialog to show up in landscape mode?

[AlexFelgo Team]

Hi,

Which Facebook dialog do you mean? Regarding the login, it should be possible to add the “android:screenOrientation” attribute set to “landscape” or “sensorLandscape” to the

 <activity android:name="com.facebook.LoginActivity" />

definition within your AndroidManifest.xml file.

Best,

Alex

hi Alex,

on IOS:

The facebook login dialog is schown in portrait mode, the app is in landscape only.

Hi,

Which dialog on iOS do you mean? The main way is switching to the native Facebook app if installed. Do you have a screenshot by hand?

Thanks,

Alex

I see! Are you using the Facebook SDK that’s linked in our integration guide found here? http://felgo.com/doc/plugin-facebook/#ios-integration-steps

According to Facebook SDK docs there was a bug that got fixed with version 3.18 (we use version 3.20 in our integration guide).

Best,

Alex

hi alex,

in the facebookSDK,h downloaded from http://felgo.com/doc/plugin-facebook/#ios-integration-steps

#define FB_IOS_SDK_VERSION_STRING @"3.14.0"

#define FB_IOS_SDK_TARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION @"v2.0"

You’re absolutely right, sorry for that! I just pushed the new version to GitHub, please download the latest framework from there and make sure that you adapt your project file to match the following lines for integrating Facebook:

        ios {
          # Facebook framework
          LIBS += -F$$PWD/ios
          LIBS += -framework FacebookSDK
          LIBS += -framework Security
          LIBS += -framework SystemConfiguration
        }

Please let me know if that fixes your issue!
Best,

Alex

hi Alex,

thanx, but i get errors with the project settings you gave, what worked for me was:

looking up the FacebookSDK directory after installing the FacebookBOOK 3.20 pkg file downloaded from facebook,

and copy the FacebookSDK dir to the ios dir of my project.

then add this to my project file:

LIBS += -F$$PWD/ios/FacebookSDK
LIBS += -framework FacebookSDK

LIBS += -framework Security
LIBS += -framework SystemConfiguration

are the last to additions necessary?

hi alex,

what will happen if the facebookSDK version is higher then 3.20?

[Bas]

hi Alex,

just another question abaut facebook SDK version usage:

i saw this in facebook:

Automatically Log App Events for In-App Purchases on iOS (Recommended)Logging App Events for In-App Purchases will allow you to see your in-app purchase events in your Insights dashboard and in ads reporting. This feature requires SDK version 3.22 or newer. Notice: To avoid double logging, you should not explicitly log in-app purchases via the Facebook SDK if this feature is turned on.

 

i noticed that facebook mentioned SDK version 3.22, can i use this SDK version without trouble?

[AlexFelgo Team]

Yes you can use version 3.22 (you should be fine with all 3.2x versions, we however only tested up to 3.22 for now), that’s actually the version we use in our updated example on GitHub.

Best,

Alex
