External RSS feed with FBConnect on iPhone

[schimanke]

So here is what I am trying to do. I have a blog and an iPhone app which shows the topics of my blog entries via the rss-feed. Tapping a topic opens the corresponding blog entry in a web view. Inside the web view I have a button which offers the possibility to share the content vie e-mail or facebook. My question now is how to let the user post the content of the entry to his wall on facebook.

I have already implemented the fbconnect for iPhone SDK and pushing the button opens the fbconnect login dialog. I have also created a facebook app and implemented the following code in my iPhone app:

- (void)session:(FBSession*)session didLogin:(FBUID)uid { NSLog(@"User with id %lld logged in.", uid);

    FBFeedDialog* dialog = [[[FBFeedDialog alloc] init] autorelease];
    dialog.delegate = self;
    dialog.templateBundleId = XXXXXXXX;
    dialog.templateData = @"{\"key1\": \"value1\"}";
    [dialog show];
}

It opens and works just fine so far but only displays the text I have configured in the feed template on facebook. How do I tell fbconnect to publish the content of the opened blog entry to the users wall? Any help is highly appreciated!

FYI:

I figured it out. The problem was not related to my code but to the JSON string that is sent to facebook. It contained some html tags that were not accepted. I removed them from the string and everything works fine.

Hi,

I am just learning to use Facebook for my app. Can you please let me know how to get this templateBundleId for letting the user post the content to his wall on facebook?

You need to create a facebook-app at Login | Facebook to which your iPhone app will be linked. After creating the facebook-app you will be provided with the templateBundleId.
