Facebook Publish Stream with Message?

[Gweetle]

I'm using facebook to publish a message to the user's facebook page. I am able to get the pop up that lets the user enter in their own message, but I want the message to be already filled out for them.

I am using

NSMutableDictionary* params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                                   kAppId, @"app_id",
//other params
                                   @"Hello.",  @"message",
                                   nil];
    
    [_facebook dialog:@"feed" andParams:params andDelegate:self];

but it is keeping the message blank, instead of changing it to "Hello.".

Here is facebook's post saying this is possible: Feed Dialog - Facebook Developers

Thanks for any help!

Just out straight from the top of my head. Since I haven't touched facebook apis and what not. I assume the user enters the message on an iOS device in a textfield. Perhaps the textfield is not updated with the message? Not sure if that's the case, just giving my lousy shot at this.

Yes, the user can enter the text in the textfield, but the facebook api is supposed to have this text preentered, based on what I tell it to. Anyone else?

Check the API doku -- since July 2011, the message parameter is no longer considered (due to privacy policies, which seems questionable to me specifically in this case. It breaks a lot of usages that implemented it like this :-( )
