anyway of getting the facebook app in the phone to launch to a facebook group url rather than using the native app screen to launch it in the mobiles browser?

For facebook pages I have used this in the past: fb://page/999999999 I have looked up on stackoverflow that for groups it is: fb://group/(fbid)/members fb://group/(initWithGroupId:)/members fb://groups should work if you use the Launching Native App plugin

If you use the Launch Native App plugin, choose "Enter a url" and then paste the following it will open your page in the Facebook app: fb://page/YOURPAGEID

page works well and will load your facebook page, however if i paste the url from the fb group it will still just display my fb page. fb://group will display all my groups but cannot work out what to add to get the individual group fb://group/my groups number(copied from fb address in browser bar/ will just give my own pages again fb://groups/my groups name/ will give my own pages so how do I find the fb group id? hope you can help otherwise this is awesome.

Same with me. It was working with me before but now it just opens up my fb page instead of the fbid I put in. Any fixes for this yet?
