Topic-icon AUP points on facebook comment only if select "post to facebook"

Active Subscriptions:

Hello,

When the facebook comment to Alpha user points code is used, is there a way to detect if the user has selected "Post to Facebook". We only want to offer Alphapoints to users who broadcast their facebook comments to the wall.

tbh I don't think this feature exists by default, but do you know if it is possible to detect at the point the points are piped to alphauserpoints code?

cheers

Nope, not possible :( The callback we get from Facebook after a comment is created contains the following:
{
  href: "",         /* Open Graph URL of the Comment Plugin */
  commentID: "",    /* The commentID of the new comment */
}
To my knowledge, there's no way to use that information to see if the user posted it to their wall. It may be possible to pull a feed of their wall posts, scan through them, and check for the same URL or something, but it wouldn't be a simple thing. You'd also need the permissions to see their wall and other things.

I believe Facebook wouldn't ever allow you to detect that because it could lead to some abuse for rewarding users for leaving (and posting) comments.

For more on what's returned, check out the page below. Specifically, the comment.create function:

Hope that helps,
Alex
