    <p>It's clearer what you wish to do - post a photo to FB, and guarantee that a post goes on the user's wall/stream.</p> <p>Unfortunately, there are some things in the way. </p> <p>FB Graph API appears to only allow you to post EITHER a picture to an album, or post to the wall directly, linking to a picture already existing somewhere on the web. In the first case, a post in the stream will probably be made, but FB appears to consolidate multiple posts in some manner so as to keep the user's stream from being bombarded. The mechanism for this is not documented anywhere I could see.</p> <p>In the second case, you might think you could get away with posting to an album, and then explicitly posting a link to the album. You can add a parameter to the original album post, "no_story" with a value of 1, and suppress the wall post that might be made while you prepare to make an explicit one. However, FB will not have the source URL for a newly posted image for a while, AND, it doesn't appear to like URLs that include its own content delivery network, returning an error. You might think to simply put status update in the stream, talking about the post, However, the Graph API is also limited to 25 such direct feed posts per day per app, to prevent spamming.</p> <p>One solution would be to post to something like Flickr, get the URL of the image, and then post to the wall. FB's preferred solution appears to be to use the FB dialogs that are part of the mobile toolkit - essentially little web pages much like the OAuth screen. </p> <p>Personally, I plan to simply post to the album as above, and live with FB's idea of how the user should be notified. Curious how you choose to proceed.</p>

    1. COI think I came to the same conclusion, that posting a photo and having it appear as a wall post just isn't going to work easily, which is surprising. Options are to use an external photo hosting service, or just live with how FaceBook handles it. Since you're curious - I've chosen to just post to the wall without the photo. The important part for me was the actual post, and the photo was just a nice addition. If I did need the photo though, I'd choose to go with posting to an album I think, adding a 3rd party photo host just adds another layer of complexity. Thanks for your help!

    2. COHow does Instagram do this? They seem to be showing album photos on the wall...

    3. CO@PsychoDad Instagram also hosts the images themselves, which they seem to use for the wall post. The image in the album looks to be like a different operation altogether (looks like a side effect but probably a different request)

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.
