share via facebook for buzztouch 1.5 on ipod touch running ios4.3

Can someone let me know if I have to do anything additional to make the Share on facebook feature work. I added it to a menu and tried it in simulator and on an ipod but no luck. It says that user is Logged Out. Even if I switch to facebook app and log in, then back to my app I cannot submit to facebook since it thinks I am still logged out even though I am not.

I'm having issues with that as well. What I did was create a new file that opens up in safari. The url is fb:profile/profile number Then, when you lick on that item, it will not open safari but will actually open the facebook app and load whatever profile number entered. The problem I'm having is that this works great for person profiles but not for my app page that I set up for people to like. Anyone have any luck with this?

Found / fixed the typos... they were in the control panel when you added a new screen. iOS: May be a dumb question, but have you tapped the Facebook logo to log into facebook in your app? If you're not logged in, it won't work (as you realize). I did here... seems to work.

I was hoping to avoid the whole log in thing if possible. I know it's possible to provide a url that will automatically launch the user's FB app (to which they're already logged in) and bring them to someone's profile page. For some reason I can only get it to work for personal profile pages though and not the page I made for my app. Ideally I'd like the user to be able to go to the app's page and not necessarily leave comments if they want to. I made a FB app and have my own API key and whatnot but that seems like overkill since I don't necessarily want to access the user's info on fb or anything crazy, just get the fb app to launch and go to my app's page. ANy ideas???

Not sure what to advise. Facebook's in control of this stuff. It's surprising to think only personal pages have a URL (probably a mobile URL too). Seems like Fan Pages and other types of pages would also have a mobile URL?
