Facebook Share and Redirect

by imv

Hello,

I have been trying to put up a Facebook Share button that can track if a user has actually shared or not. Here's the flow:

webpage A -> webpage B (where the share button is on) -> facebook share window pops up

if user share -> then go to webpage C
if user cancel or "x" the window -> remain on webpage B

I have having problems to determine whether or not the user shared, then redirect or stay on the page.

Any ideas are welcome. Please help.

Thanks in advance.

      Hi IMV,
      The possible to check your user already share or not :

      1) FB Web Board App ~ Put in special page and crawl which user already share your URL.

      2) Without FB API ~ Users must open privacy for their Wall as Public or you already be his friend (Note : Fans Page Owner cant see their Fans Wall)...

      3) With FB API & App ~ Users already pass their Wall permission and we can read their Wall auto check your link with cron...


      Off topic : Hi David, this is sharing place, not place to hire you and be their programmer...

          If you use the regular LIKE button instead of the deprecated Share button you can also use the Event.subscribe API from the FB JS SDK: developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/FB.Event.subscribe/

          Using this will provide the exact functionality you're looking to have.

    I've just begun to use the services of Janrain | Amplifying the Power of the Social Web to help with this.
