Sooo close we are. Yes I am able to use the API to post activities to FaceBook successfully. However what is lacking is an if/else test. I thought that was the purpose of stream_publish but I can't figure out how to implement this in my PHP. I set up a couple changing variables so that FaceBook doesn't balk thinking I'm just resubmitting by accident. The FB.Connect.showPermissionDialog - I don't know how to use this. It errors out if I uncomment it (not php?).
The goal is to be able to first check that the FaceBook connection is open and if yes I will display a connection good message and if not, I will post a message saying that you must sign into FaceBook to use this function.
