Hi Everyone! Feels like a few years since I posted here! I am creating an app and need to call the facebook and twitter apps up. I submitted an app a few months ago and it was rejected because most of it was weblinks to other places. Well, this one seems to be going in the same place. I need to open up a facebook page and a twitter page on the app, but all it does is open a weblink. Is there a way to click on the tab and call the facebook app up or the twitter app up with the selected page opened? Thanks in advance Ed www.egapp.co.uk

tM InvisibleFacebook and tM InvisibleTwitter sounds like what you want perhaps? Welcome back to the forums! http://www.buzztouch.com/plugins/plugin.php?pid=2A1F0F5369D64A5C83B6A5F http://www.buzztouch.com/plugins/plugin.php?pid=51AC4F91C859007D3ADC841 Cheers, David

Hi David, Sorry I might have not said that clear enough, so tired writing that! Basically, what I want is instead of the tab going to www.facebook.com/SparkSite or www.twitter.com/Sparksite , I want it to open the app and show the page instead? I know there are app submission rules against too many links being in the app. Do you know how this is possible? Can you do it via 'launch a native app'? Cheers Ed

I have fixed it! To call the facebook app up on a particular screen, use Custom URL or Launch a Native App, and type any of these... fb://profile – Open Facebook app to the user’s profile fb://friends – Open Facebook app to the friends list fb://notifications – Open Facebook app to the notifications list fb://events – Open Facebook app to the Events page fb://requests – Open Facebook app to the Requests list fb://notes - Open Facebook app to the Notes page fb://albums – Open Facebook app to Photo Albums list To open a specific page or profile, you must do fb://profile/<page id, NOT name> To open twitter, use it in exactly the same way, only with tweetie:// or twitter:// . Thanks Ed

@Ed, cracking work here, facebook works like a charm and it used to be a real aggravation setting up faceook connection that works like this. However, could you explain Twitter further please, i'm unable to land on a specific user and ive no idea why! Many thanks!

As a tester, I'm @TM_Apps :) Much appreciated.

Hi Alex To use the twitter one and get it to open on a particular user, you need to find the account Id (it is not the username). To do that, you can use this tool (http://www.idfromuser.com/). Once you have the ID, put: twitter://user?id= And after the equal sign, put the ID. For mine, to get it to open on my company twitter, I used twitter://user?id=441015059 and it worked great. Thanks Ed

Hi, Many thanks. I found this site but is displays blank when I put I a valid name?!

You need to do custom URL, rather than HTML doc. And you need the Facebook app installed Thanks Ed
