[Plugin: Simple Facebook Connect] putting the publish to fan page button on the front end

SFC-Publish adds the publish to fan page buttons to the Edit Post page, in a metabox. It doesn’t have any way to put the same buttons on the front page though.

I haven’t tried it, but you could try calling sfc_publish_meta_box($post); from inside the Loop. This would *maybe* let it generate the same two publishing buttons on the front end of the site.

Note that Facebook’s methods really rely on a site being available to the public. So some things like the picture and such are not going to display on the page. If it doesn’t have a public web address, you may not even be able to get the FB App to work at all.

<script type="text/javascript">
	function sfcPublish(message,attachment) {
	  FB.ensureInit(function () {
	    FB.Connect.streamPublish(message,attachment,
			<?php echo json_encode($action_links); ?>,
			null, null, null, false,
			'183229491704587'
		);
	  });
	}

	function sfcShowPubButtons() {
		jQuery('#sfc-publish-buttons').html('<input type="button" class="button-primary" onclick="sfcPublish(); return false;" value="<?php echo addslashes(__('Publish to Facebook', 'sfc')); ?> <?php if ($options["fanpage"]) echo addslashes (__('Fan Page', 'sfc')); else echo addslashes(__('Application', 'sfc')); ?>" /><input type="button" class="button-primary" onclick="sfcPersonalPublish(); return false;" value="<?php echo addslashes(__('Publish to your Facebook Profile', 'sfc')); ?>" />');
	}
</script>

put this in my page template

and then this button

<span onclick="sfcPublish(<?php the_content(); ?>);" style="cursor:pointer">fb</span>

that was all, though I am still trying to get attachments to work.

Yeah, just putting that code in won’t work. There’s more to it than that.

it does work in firefox. maybe because I also loaded this script in the header? doesn’t work in chrome.
