Facebook as an extension

**britzl** · June 18, 2019, 4:50am

Excellent. Thanks! I’ve created a ticket to track this: https://github.com/defold/extension-facebook/issues/4

@Mathias_Westerdahl has been working on this extension recently to update it and move it from the engine to an extension.

**Mathias_Westerdahl** · June 18, 2019, 7:29am

Yes, this is our old (internal) example. We’ve merely moved the code outside of the engine.
What permissions you wish to use is individual per app basis.

In the Facebook official documentation they’re using publish_to_groups: doc

And here is a list of their supported permissions

**matti.anttonen** · June 30, 2019, 4:15pm

Thanks. I updated to use publish_to_groups -permissions and I no longer get the error messages. Using the show_dialog() function only seems to make a successful login to facebook but did not open the share to feed -dialog as I expected.

Is there something I’m missing to make a share to facebook feed working?

**Mathias_Westerdahl** · July 1, 2019, 11:27am

Ok, good that it worked.

As for sharing, when pressing the “Share” button in the test project, you’ll invoke this code:

First:

github.com

defold/extension-facebook/blob/master/main/facebook.gui_script#L134


	end)


	dirtylarry:button("request_read", action_id, action, function ()		
		facebook.login_with_read_permissions(permissions, fb_login)
	end)


	dirtylarry:button("request_publish", action_id, action, function ()		
		facebook.login_with_publish_permissions(permissions, facebook.AUDIENCE_FRIENDS, fb_login)
	end)


	dirtylarry:button("share", action_id, action, function ()		
		local param = { link = "https://www.defold.com",picture="https://www.defold.com/static/base/blossom.jpg" }
		facebook.show_dialog("feed", param, fb_share)
	end)


	-- this is deprecated by facebook, no point in testing
	--[[dirtylarry:button("invite", action_id, action, function ()
		-- local param = { url = "http://www.defold.com", preview_image="http://www.defold.com/static/base/blossom.jpg" }
		
		local invite_url = "https://rawgit.com/johan-becknoren-king/c4bc129e5121ea950568c641d6c061ce/raw/14c71f99d589f000a6b81cce0bb50c8698ab846c/index.html"
		--local invite_url = "http://172.19.21.160:8001/index.html"

then it will call this function:

github.com

defold/extension-facebook/blob/master/main/facebook.gui_script#L45


		gui.set_text(gui.get_node("error"), "get_name_callback - " .. tostring(r.error.message))
	else
		gui.set_text(gui.get_node("error"), "get_name_callback - no error")	
	end
	
	if r.name then
		gui.set_text(gui.get_node("name"), "get_name_callback - Hello " .. r.name)
	end
end


local function fb_share(self, result, error)
	pprint("fb_share - result table: ")
	pprint(result)
	if error then
		pprint("#################### fb_share, error: ")
		pprint(error)
		gui.set_text(gui.get_node("status"), "fb_share - ERROR")
		gui.set_text(gui.get_node("error"), "fb_share - " .. tostring(error.error))
	else
		if result.post_id then
			gui.set_text(gui.get_node("status"), "fb_share - post id: " .. result.post_id)

We made small stability improvements for the facebook extension.
For the old facebook (4.x) extension the latest version is 1.6
https://github.com/defold/extension-facebook/archive/1.6.zip
For the new extension is 2.2.5:
https://github.com/defold/extension-facebook/archive/2.2.5.zip

**AGulev** · October 11, 2019, 2:50pm

The new release 2.2.7 of Facebook extension with Deferred Deep Linking functionality.

**britzl** · November 6, 2019, 6:28am

We just made a pre-release of a new version of the Facebook extension available for testing. The new version is based on the latest Facebook SDK version 5.9.0. It fixes login issues on iOS 13 (although this is also partially dependant on the upcoming Defold 1.2.164 release).

Please help us test the extension by adding the following two dependencies to your game.project file:

**Dragosha** · November 6, 2019, 9:23am

tried to build LyL with this dependencies and got:

list of all dependencies
2019-11-06_14-22-39

**Dragosha** · November 6, 2019, 10:08am

Seems, with FB 2.2.7 and extension-gps “master” the same. Previous workable build I’ve made with FB 1.4

**britzl** · November 6, 2019, 12:31pm

Thanks. Could I please ask you to lock down more of your dependency versions? It’s very hard to promise any kind of stability when you depend on master.zip since that can change without notice. Please use these instead:

**Dragosha** · November 6, 2019, 12:34pm

Ok, thanks, will try build with

**Dragosha** · November 6, 2019, 1:06pm

Tried. The same result.

The bundle complete only if I remove admob extension. Seems admob (https://github.com/Lerg/extension-admob/) is compatible only with old Facebook extension :\

**britzl** · November 6, 2019, 2:37pm

Let me try a couple of things here as well.

**britzl** · November 7, 2019, 6:01am

Yeah, so both the Facebook extension and the AdMob extension use and include a jar for com.android.support.customtabs. This and the other support libs should probably be moved to a base extension.

@Dragosha can you please share the list of dependencies you have when AdMob and Facebook works together?

**Dragosha** · November 7, 2019, 6:34am

and also https://github.com/Dragosha/defoldgamecenter as project folder.

**Dragosha** · November 12, 2019, 7:58am

Which list of dependencies need to build latest release FB extension now?
I’ve tried this as mention in updated docs:

https://github.com/defold/android-base-extensions/releases/download/1.0.0/support-v4-27.0.2.zip,
https://github.com/defold/android-base-extensions/releases/download/1.0.0/support-v7-27.0.2.zip

list of all included (removed admob for pure experiment)

**Mathias_Westerdahl** · November 12, 2019, 12:22pm

Ah, that’s because the 2.3.x version needs the 1.2.164 server.
We’re scheduled to release a new version today, ~~in the mean time, you can use https://build-stage.defold.com~~

You need both the new version and the new server, we’re working on it…
