    <p>I am trying to build a comments method within a website without the Facebook comments plugin.</p> <p>It's a photogallery portion of a website and all the photos are actually hosted on the business Page, I'm doing this to make use of FBs uploading, resizing/rotate etc rather than having to build that myself too.</p> <p>As a happy bi-product to this I figured I could link comments on the website with comments on FB and have a syncrhonised comments system whereby comments posted on either site (my website or FB) will show equally on either site.</p> <p>So, I have worked out how to post the comments, but it is always posting as the Business Page, not the logged in user.</p> <p>This code posts the comment, the variable <code>obj</code> is the ID of the photo on Facebook. <code>msg</code> is obviously the comment text. I have setup methods to get the correct permissions where required which are called if the response from the post states that this is needed.</p> <pre><code>FB.api('/' + obj + '/comments', 'post', { "message": msg, "access_token": accessToken, "from": uid }, // do the post function (response) { // check the response if (!response || response.error) { // if there's an error // DO STUFF WITH ERRORS/REQUEST PERMS ETC } else { alert("Msg posted id: " + response.id); }; }); </code></pre> <p>Everything above works, but when the comment appears, it is always showing <code>from: my Page ID</code> not, what I need which would be <code>from: my user id</code></p> <p><code>accessToken</code> and <code>UID</code> is being retrieved as follows:</p> <pre><code>FB.getLoginStatus(function (response) { if (response.status === 'connected') { uid = response.authResponse.userID; accessToken = response.authResponse.accessToken; } }); </code></pre> <p>The para <code>from</code> in the first function there posts the User ID, NOT the page ID, but whether that para is there or not, it always posts the comment as the Page.</p> <p>It's frustrating the hell out of me as so far this has been pretty simple to achieve!</p>

    1. COAre you passing the page's access token or the access token for the user who you want to post the comment?

    2. COWell, that's possibly where I am getting lost. But the `access_token` is coming from the `FB.getLoginStatus` call, so that should be the User shouldn't it?

    3. COYeah, the `FB.getLoginStatus` should be returning the user's access token and user ID, and your code looks good to me.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
