Message is blank when sharing

[adolfo]

Completing an activity without providing a message successfully completes the activity and posts it to Facebook, but the text of the message that is posted to my wall is blank. Should the API generate some text here or are we expected to provide some generic text?

Also, we need to establish what to display in the table below the calendar. At the moment we have "Together on Wednesday, we had a meal together." Is that correct? (Together...together?)

@jjkaye - just an FYI the Facebook / Twitter (Secion II. 1.B) API agreements basically disallow the modification of messages sent (ie you're not supposed to add a hash tag). So if we want to influence the user, then we should really be providing some pre-populated text that the user can then edit.

How does twitpic get around this when they append the twitpic url on the message?

@jjkaye: My guess would be that it falls under the first point of the above stated section:

Don't edit or revise user-generated content delivered through the API except as necessary due to technical limitations or requirements of any networks, devices, services, or media.

@m14t can appending our url be a "technical limitation"?

The two messages:

• We shared a meal together.
• We did an activity together.

If a type is set to "complete" and there is no message set (previously or in this same command), then we will insert the above messages. Committed revision 943.

Still need to append the link to the facebook messages.

When posting to facebook we now attach the url in the link parameter.

@adolfo32: do you want to test and close if its good?

Works.
