I'm trying to tag friends in a post created using fb.api. The documentation regarding the tags says this:
Comma-separated list of Facebook IDs of people tagged in this Post. For example: 1207059,701732. This field is returned as the with_tags field when the Post is read. NOTE: You cannot specify this field without also specifying a place.
Indeed, when I specify the tags var and do not specify a place I get an error stating that it's wrong to specify friends without a place (a rather weird limitation if you ask me, btw....). If I do specify the place tag along with the friends tags, the post gets posted just fine on my wall... but no friends are tagged, nor do they receive a notification or whatsoever.

| Steps to Reproduce: | Create a wall post using fb.api('me/feed', 'post', data, callbackMethod): data = { name: 'Some name', picture: 'some picture', link: 'some link', message: 'some message', actions: [{ name: 'some action', link: 'some link'}] }; (friends.length > 0) { data.tags = friends.join(','); data.place = '110506962309835' } FB.api('/me/feed', 'post', data, AfterFbPost); |
|---|---|
| Expected Behavior: | I expect the post to be posted and the friends that are specified in the "tags" field to be tagged/notified of the post. |
| Actual Behavior: | The post gets posted, but the friends aren't tagged/notified. |
| API/SDK: | Javascript SDK |
