    <p>Sounds like you have the same problem I had just a couple of weeks ago. Did you also get the error message starting "FBCDN image is not allowed in stream..."?</p> <p>It seems you've already figured it out, but since Facebook isn't quite as informative towards developers as they could, other readers may benefit from this, too.</p> <ul> <li>Your app can easily send photos to the user's Facebook photo album </li> <li>Your app can easily post to the user's News Feed </li> <li>You can even use Facebook Graph API to pick up the ID of the photo you just sent, and use that to assemble the URL for the photo (the URL works just fine – typing it into your browser will show the photo, no problem) </li> <li>BUT your app simply cannot use the photo URL in any News Feed Posts. And contrary to what one might assume, this is not a bug or any other problem you could fix, but a Facebook policy since summer, 2010.</li> </ul> <p>Here's the official RSS feed stating their decision:</p> <blockquote> <p>Serving Images in Stream Stories Jun 18, 2010 3:21pm</p> <p>We no longer allow stream stories to contain images that are hosted on the fbcdn.net domain. The images associated with these URLs aren't always optimized for stream stories and occasionally resulted in errors, leading to a poor user experience. Make sure your stream attachments don't reference images with this domain. You should host the images locally.</p> </blockquote> <p>In conclusion, if you must have the News Feed post, you need to host the photos on your own server and link to them in the post, as Siegfried said. Although, some successful developers would argue that if you want to make your app scalable, in case it becomes the next big thing in App Store, avoid using your own server (See the Pulse News app's makers comments here: <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/itunes-u/developing-apps-for-ios-sd/id395631522#" rel="nofollow">http://itunes.apple.com/us/itunes-u/developing-apps-for-ios-sd/id395631522#</a> - hack #3)</p> <p>As for me, since my app's so tiny, and I'm a small-time developer, it didn't make sense to start hosting stuff on a server of my own, so I just settled to uploading the photo to the user's Facebook account anyways and using the photo caption to tell the user's friends what I had to say, instead of the wall post.</p>

    1. COIf vipinagg's answer to this question is valid, then Facebook's policy on this must've changed once again. I used similar phases to try and achieve this just some weeks ago and the result was the "FBCDN" error I mentioned in my answer – I don't know whether this is because of differences in the actual code we used, or if the policy has changed again very recently. @vipinagg: I'd be very grateful if you could share the source of this new information with us!

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.
