    How are form fields prefilled in Facebook calls?

    Hi,

    I'm playing around with the Facebook plugin. Things are working fine so far. But: How can I prefill the form fields for facebook:dialog("feed", ...")? I tried to reach in a table like {message = "Some nice message"} - I also tried description, caption etc. but no effect visible when the dialog opens? What am I doing wrong?


    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Sebastian

      I think this one was in the example Gideros project:
      facebook:dialog("feed", {
	link = "<a href="http://giderosmobile.com"" rel="nofollow">http://giderosmobile.com"</a>, 
	picture = "<a href="http://www.giderosmobile.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/gideros-mobile-small.png"" rel="nofollow">http://www.giderosmobile.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/gideros-mobile-small.png"</a>, 
	name = "GiderosMobile.com", 
	caption = "Awesome tool", 
	description = "Check out this awesome product"
})

      How exactly, it does not work, dialog is not opening at all?

      Ok, from the graphs API key name message should be used to fill message.
      But on both ios and android I could not find reference to it.

      In both cases, there are mandatory fields, like I think link, you can't share anything without link.

      You can also try post without dialog:
      facebook:postToFeed({message, link, picture, name, caption, description})
