Posting a photo to the wall

Question

Is it possible to post a photo to the wall (and not to the album created for the application)? I thought about iterating through all of the user's albums and posting to the one called "Wall Photos", but wonder if there is a more elegant way?

Thanks

You can use the FB.ui method from the Javascript SDK. If you provide the URL for the image as the link and picture parameter. This will create a wall post for the active user that has an image, a title, caption, description, etc. And the image and title will link to whatever URL you have provided.

FB.ui({
   method: 'feed',
   name: 'Name Goes Here',
   link: 'link to the image',
   picture: 'link to the image',
   caption: 'caption goes here',
   description: 'description goes here',
   properties: ''
   }, 
   function(response) {
       //You can check the response variable to see if the post has been created
   }
);
