Share your existing facebook post (thus increasing the number of "Shares" of the original post

Question

Hei

I have an application in which I am trying to share existing public facebook content with an account (for example, a link to a photo) on my wall using the PHP PHP SDK with the call to 'graph.facebook.com/me/feed' and using the original attribute " link "message, which looks like this: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=XXXXXXX&set=a.XXXX.XX.XXXXXX&type=1&relevant_count=1

As a result, a message appears that says: "Alex Shared XXX photo" And a preview of the photo appears, but the original "Shares" post does not increase and does not show the share that I made on call.

Is there any way to fix this? if so, how?

Answer 1

Niraj Shah is right, there is no way to publish a message.

But there is a loophole, as you can post photo stories:

stack overflow

Answer 2

There is currently no way to publish an existing publication using the API or the PHP SDK. The only thing you can do is create a copy of the share and publish it, but it will not increase the original share counter, as you already found.
