Sharing articles on Facebook using the facebook api

Question

I have a rails application that helps users submit articles. Does any one know how I can make users in the application share those articles on facebook using their facebook address? A good reference or tutorial would be good.

Answer 1

You can open a popup to http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=URL. This will display a share on facebook page with a link to your image.

For example: http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com
