My custom code used to be able to post on a timeline of a user's friend. The posting is done knowingly by the user when the user selects a button such as Send. Recently it stopped working. I may be wrong but this may be due to FB stops allowing it. Is there any function/module/code or sugestion in JFB that would allow me to post a message to the user's friend? I am not very familiar with FB, but does FB allow getting email addresses of the friends of the user so that the message from the user can be sent by mail instead?
Thanks.

There's no way to get the email address of a friend. An application can only get the email address of the current user that has approved the application on your site.

As for your custom code, that should still work. To our knowledge, there hasn't been any changes on how wall posts can be done through the API. There are restrictions in the App Policies that state when and how you can make such posts, but it sounds like you have those points mostly covered.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi, please see this link, fifth item from the top:
developers.facebook.com/roadmap/completed-changes/

Is your answer still the same or did I misunderstand the FB change? Thanks.

Ahhh. I'm sure I read that before, but forgot about it. Your reading is definitely correct. Posting on a user's friend Timeline is no longer possible. I understand Facebook's reasoning in that case as well since that could easily be abused.

Thanks for pointing that out.
