I have been struggling with finding a easy way to share scores from the quiz for a while - yesterday, I suddenly realized how simply it can be done using the Socialize SDK - here's a quick run through of the steps NOTE: This tutorial assumes you have the Socialize SDK integrated and in your app - if you do a forum search for "Socialize" you will come up with a ton of threads on how to get working with buzztouch 1. Go to the Localizable.strings file in the BT_Config group and add the following line all the way at the bottom - "shareScore" = "Share Score"; 2. Go to BT_screen_quiz.m - around line 1255, right before where it says "//try again button", add the following - //share button [finishedButtons addObject:NSLocalizedString(@"shareScore", @"Share Score")]; 3. Find the actionSheet method - Around line 1540, right before where it says "//try again", add the following - //share score if([buttonTitle isEqual:NSLocalizedString(@"shareScore", @"Share Score")]){ [self showShareDialog]; } 4. Add this method somewhere inside of BT_screen_quiz.m (directly after the actionSheet method works fine) - - (void)showShareDialog { NSString *sharePoints = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"I just scored %d points playing Your_Quiz_Name_Here! Think you can beat it?", totalPoints]; id<SZEntity> entity = [SZEntity entityWithKey:sharePoints name:sharePoints]; [SZShareUtils showShareDialogWithViewController:self entity:entity completion:^(NSArray *shares) { // `shares` is a list of all shares created during the lifetime of the share dialog NSLog(@"Created %d shares: %@", [shares count], shares); } cancellation:^{ NSLog(@"Share creation cancelled"); }]; } And there you go...if you go here - http://www.facebook.com/jonny.brake.1 - you can see what the above code produces when shared on Facebook. The key is this part: NSString *sharePoints = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"I just scored %d points playing the One Direction Quiz! Think you can beat it?", totalPoints]; It creates a variable entity for Socialize to use - The majority of the text can of course be changed in whatever way fits your app best. The only vital part is having the" %d" in there so that the totalPoints variable has somewhere to go If anybody gets hung up on anything let me know

Eventually I'll have to try that! I'm just starting to utilize the 'quiz' plugin, so I'm not advanced yet. But this seems very cool! Cheers! -- Smug

Sweet good share! Thanks.

Sweet! Another great resource! Thank you!

question 1: so only socialize is required and not game center? question 2: is there a way to have your highest score saved without using the game center integration ? also thanks for the find

@ ceerup 1. game center is not required for this to work, but if anybody is wondering this doesn't interfere with the Game Center integration in any way. You can have both the "Submit Score" and "Share Score" options appearing on the screen. Once the Share is completed you will be returned to the Submit,Share,Try Again, Quit menu. 2. I'm sure there IS a way to save the highest score...unfortunately I don't know how

Amazing I just integrated socialize and was wondering about that. Great instructions!

Cool! Hopefully you guys get some use out of it

Good stuff @Absentia I have just integrated the iOS social framework to my Quiz Game (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/flamengo-quiz-voce-e-flamenguista/id500599738?mt=8) and it took a lot more code than this Socialize hack. Thanks for sharing this! Starting update to version 1.6 in 3, 2, 1...

no problem - I'm currently trying to figure out how to have individual "Share on Facebook" and "Share on Twitter" buttons. I had the idea that it might be cool to have a twitter specific entity in which you insert a hashtag with your app name

Hey Absentia, check out my app... I have done that. At quizEnded I add "Tweet Results" and "Share on Facebook" buttons to the UIActionSheet. If you want I can show you how I did it. It even hides the "Share on Facebook" and the Twitter button falls back to "TWTweetComposeViewController" when running on iOS5 (there is no social framework). I actually started messing around with this after I saw one of your posts. :P Let me know!

I would to know how to do that! Can you post how you did that?

hey i followed every instruction, when i click the share button, nothing happens, even when i log into socialize on my app

@Ceerup In addition to the above tutorial, you still have to paste into the .h file inside the plugin folder you want the bar to appear in: #import <Socialize/Socialize.h> Then right below all the other #imports declare the properties. Paste: @property (nonatomic, retain) SZActionBar *actionBar; @property (nonatomic, retain) id<SZEntity> entity; ...right below the other @properties @Absentia - thanks for another great tutorial

it says in the log that has nowhere to send the URL its still not working

Hey, I did try it, it's a nice way to share score with Socialize, I looking for the same result with Scringo : At the end of the quiz two more buttons, Tweet Score and Share Facebook. Anybody share score at the end of the quiz whit with Scringo ?? Thank for these nice ideas.
