Like button in iOS application

Image
By User



Does anybody know how to place Facebook "like" button into iOS application? I've tried the method described in this blog post . But I do not really like this method, because its ugly Login dialog. And, what is more important, it makes user login twice. For example, user wants post a message to his wall if he isn't logged in I call standard FBLoginDialog, after that user posted a message he may want push "like" button and he have to login again - it is really bad user experience.





How to be? How can I give user "like" feature in my iOS app?

    That is actually the only way to do it. There is no special iOS like button. However, the good news is that just today Facebook announced single sign in support for mobile apps. This should remove some of the burden the user faces to log in to facebook.

    It seems there is an agreement on not being able to do this. This question shows you can, as does the FB Graph API documentation:


    You can comment on or like any object that has a /comments or /likes
    connection by posting to https://graph.facebook.com/OBJECT_ID/comments
    and https://graph.facebook.com/OBJECT_ID/likes, respectively.


    Unfortunately, according to this question you can’t like a page.

    I like using ShareKit: http://www.getsharekit.com/

    It's not exactly what you're looking for, but still...

    The only way supported by Facebook on any platform (web, mobile, etc) is from their iFrame code. From iOS, that means embedding a UIWebView into your application with the iFrame code. Note that it does require them to login via Safari.

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
