Need of courses over Facebook sharing options

Hello everyone,

Facebook sharing options have changed over the years, and the subject really needs to be cleared out. There is a real need for new lectures about Facebook sharing coding methods.

Please reply a '+1' if you agree, we need to put some pressure here :)

Thank you. Johan

It wouldn't hurt to add social courses to the library but I must say that adding a Facebook share, comment & like buttons are rather easy. Facebook provides a development documentation on just how to do that.

Yes, but i need to share different specific posts that are on the same page... and the share.php method is not working completely anymore. I admit I'm kind of lost on the subject. Is there a way i can do this without having an app ID ? Let me know if you know a straighforward article or video. I have searched the web for hours. Thank you.

When you say you need to share different specific posts, what do you mean by that? If you want to post to a page or your individual feed.

In order to interact with Facebook's API you need credentials. The credential you get for that API is an Access token.

Have a look at this page instead as this provides posting on a page or individual feed as well as getting your credentials.
