Friend selector plugin (no FBML ?)

Since this message on the fb:friend-selector page :

FBML has been deprecated. Starting June 1, 2012 FBML apps will no longer work as all FBML endpoints will be removed. If you are building a new application on Facebook.com, please implement your application using HTML, JavaScript and CSS. You can use our JavaScript SDK and Social Plugins to embedded many of the same social features available in FBML.

So in order to use the fb friend selector to send requests to some friends, i must use my own application and use SDK to do this ?

There is no "widget" to do this ?

Thanks you !

Solution

  • Yes, you will need a facebook application to send requests.

    For sending requests, facebook provide a new dialog, called "requests dialog", you can use the Javascript SDK's FB.ui function to access it.

    You might need to redo (or implement) request handling in your application because the new requests 2.0 API make the developer's responsibility to delete requests.
