We auto post (with users permission) when a user has entered a competitions using the below code
$facebook->api("/".$_POST['fbid']."/feed", 'post', array(
'message' => "",
'link' => SHARE_LINK_TRACKED . md5($_POST['email']),
'picture' => SHARE_IMAGE,
'name' => stripslashes(SHARE_NAME),
'description' => stripslashes(constant("SHARE_DESCRIPTION".$comp_day))
)
);
Up until the 19th this all worked great, but since then it has been populating the name and description from the destination page. In this case it is a Facebook Page
I have also found someone with the same issues here
