do you need app_id for dialog.feed


I have a simple site with a playlist-driven flash movie player.

the site is NOT a facebook app.

when a user clicks a video to watch from the playlist, that video's title, description, and thumbnail are registered in javascript variables.

the site also has a facebook button for sharing. If the user hits the fb share button while video_123 is playing then the video_123-info should show up when the share posts to the user's fb wall.

the only problem is that the http://www.facebook.com/dialog/feed seems to require a app_id, but my site is not a fb app.

any suggestions please?

thanks.


Solution

  • You should have application to use Dialogs.

    Just create an application configure it pointing to your site (without configuring application canvas) and use Feed Dialog

    Update: If you must not create application for any reasons the only option for you is to use Facebook Share button (which is deprecated) see "Creating Your Own Share URL" section...

    Update 2:
    Share button is deprecated and it's documentation is no longer available (link above redirects to documentation of Feed Dialog, old page on web-archive)
