Newsfeed Facebook Notice

Question

Does anyone know how to implement such functionality?

• How can we get a link to PlayNow (I want to add my own link in this place)

• How to get custom images in this type of aggregation.

Answer 1

As far as I can tell, this is a special implementation from Facebook that you cannot control. Facebook provides customizable feed aggregation for certain popular activities, such as playing games, reading news, or watching videos. As you can see in the aggregation you published, each application is different.

When a certain set of users reads news using your application, and Facebook decides to display the aggregation of “X and y more friends who have recently read articles” in the news feeds of the friends of these friends, your application may come to this aggregation. The “read now” button appears on its own, as Facebook understands what your object is.

The units that you can control are those that consist only of your application, and you can do this in the Open Graph panel for your application on the developer's site. Just go to the units and design them of your choice. Here's how I implemented this for myself:

Here's what it would look like in the user's home stream. The text, "Share your deuces about Dil Chahta hain ...", can be customized to suit your requirements.

Secondly, you can control the aggregation for your own application on the user's timeline. This is how my application aggregation looks on the user's timeline. Please note that currently only two populations are displayed for the user, not 3, as shown in my image (which was made before the approval stage).

Answer 2

This is the aggregation that facebook creates for certain types of applications: Games. You can configure the application as a game in the application settings, the first tab (main) of the first section (basic information) in the "Category" field.

If you do, then facebook should include your “game” when they combine this story with friends. If you do, then be that as it may, you cannot change the text from Play Now, as far as I know.

Using an open schedule, you can determine the functions that your application uses and the actions that users take on them. You can then control how the stories created by your application are aggregated on the user's timeline.

The official guide is pretty straight forward and has good examples that you can use to understand how things work. If you have a more specific question regarding an open schedule, ask it.
