    <p>When I make the Graph call <code>https://graph.facebook.com/me/home</code> , I get back a paged set of the posts on my feed. Recently, I've started to get items that appear to represent things like "John Doe liked a page". They are marked as a link, but if I ask FB for the item, I get back a status post. Here's an example, scrubbed of personal data:</p> <pre><code>{ application = { id = 2530096808; name = Pages; }; comments = { count = 0; }; "created_time" = "2011-08-28T18:54:09+0000"; description = "some text"; from = { id = xxxxxx; name = "John Doe"; }; icon = "https://s-static.ak.facebook.com/rsrc.php/v1/yN/r/xCxxxxxxQO.gif"; id = "xxxxxxx_xxxxxxxxx"; link = "http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ted.Smith/xxxxxxxx"; name = "(name of page)"; picture = "https://fbcdn-profile-a.akamaihd.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/276841_xxxxxxxxxx_xxxxx_q.jpg"; type = link; "updated_time" = "2011-08-28T18:54:09+0000"; } </code></pre> <p>However, if I ask for this post using the id, I get this:</p> <pre><code>{ "id": "xxxxx_xxxxx", "from": { "name": "John Doe", "id": "xxxxxxx" }, "type": "status", "created_time": "2011-08-28T18:54:09+0000", "updated_time": "2011-08-28T18:54:09+0000", "comments": { "count": 0 } } </code></pre> <p>Looking in FB, I see a post that says "John likes (name of page)".</p> <p>How can I identify these? Why does it first show up as a link then as a status update? Is there any documentation of this "activity" information? There are other examples that come from "John Doe and others changed their profile image" and so forth. I am having to do some very silly, fragile filtering code to remove these until I know how to deal with them. </p> <p>Help appreciated.</p>

    1. COAppreciate the idea, but that would mean dropping status updates, links or photo posts from applications like Twitter, the Facebook app in iPhone, external websites that enable link sharing. Those are actual posts that are valid. These are marked as one thing (a status update or a link), but actually are something else, an "activity" update as it were. Really, their "type" field should identify what they are.

    2. COSorry. Just dropped my suggestion to test application.name as not related to the question, eg this weird 'first a link, then a status' trip. I have tried to duplicate this, but do not see it.

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.
