Do we have feed story support?
Is there a way to make things like forum posts such as this one show up in my feed? Or do we have to write those hooks ourselves?
Now I just have to find out how to customize the feed story text so that I can incorporate context-specific messages that are more meaningful.
You have two options. This
You have two options.
This site uses drupal actions. Drupal for Facebook provides an action to write mini-feed messages. And actions can be triggered by various things, like the creation of a node. But the triggers are somewhat limited (right now) for example there is no node-type-specific trigger.
The other option is to access the $fb object in your custom module. This gives you everything the facebook API provides. So you can add whatever logic you like.
I have some improvements to the mini-feed code pending. The newer way is to use templatized messages. I don't think I've checked in an action for that yet.
Does it show up in your friends' feed, too?
I've been trying to figure out how to have my posts display on my friends' news feeds as well, like other mini-feed updates. I've been looking through the documentation on drupal for facebook and on facebook developer, and I haven't been able to find anything that helps to point me in the right direction. If you have been able to do this and have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them!
Yes. Facebook does this.
Yes. Facebook does this. Apps can't control exactly which items get posted to which friends' feeds.
Well that answers my question - it showed up in my feed!
