Facebook sharer error

Open kvetoslavnovak opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Hi,

first of all big thank for this library and your coding skills.

I am just finishing highlighting feature as a new "sharer", based on https://github.com/timdown/rangy I hope to share it with you soon.

In the meantime I have also tried to test facebook sharer but unfortunately Facebook returns this error: "Invalid App ID: The provided app ID does not look like a valid app ID." Any hint how to update facebook sharer code?

Thank you very much

Ah, I see... I think Facebook finally ditched the old way to post comments via sharer.php... 😅

I'm not sure I'll update the sharer any time soon, though. Basically, any application that wants to create a comment on Facebook must register as an external application and provide the given id when using its API.

I might remove the sharer altogether. After all, it's not my intention to actually provide working sharers, just the library to handle them.

Thank you for your reply. I have the same impression concerning FB sharer as well.
