Facebook JavaScript SDK: FB.ui opens a popup window

Question

I am trying to show a \'Post to Your Wall\' feed dialog with the following code in a facebook iframe app:

Answer 1

There's a "URL Redirection" section in the docs for the Feed Dialog:

https://www.facebook.com/dialog/feed?
  app_id=145634995501895
  &display=popup&caption=An%20example%20caption 
  &link=https%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.facebook.com%2Fdocs%2F
  &redirect_uri=https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer

So you can do window.location=(this url) in Javascript, setting the redirect_url correctly, and this should work without a popup.

Note that the Feed Dialog is now deprecated in v2.0, so check out the Share Dialog instead:

To share a link:

https://www.facebook.com/dialog/share?
  app_id=145634995501895
  &display=popup
  &href=https%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.facebook.com%2Fdocs%2F
  &redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.facebook.com%2Ftools%2Fexplorer

To share an Open Graph story:

https://www.facebook.com/dialog/share_open_graph?
  app_id=145634995501895
  &display=popup
  &action_type=og.likes
  &action_properties=%7B%22object%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.facebook.com%2Fdocs%2F%22%7D
  &redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.facebook.com%2Ftools%2Fexplorer

The 'display=popup' bit affects how the share screen looks, it doesn't open a new window. Possible values for display are:

async, iframe, page, popup, touch, wap
