Is it at all possible to post an action (owned by the app) to an object (NOT owned by the app)? Specifically on Faceook Page and Places, objects owned by FB.

For example I want to create an action called "shop", so that I can create the action

"John drank *Coke*"

in which Coke refers to the FB Page.

I have done a test via the Graph API Explorer and it seems that the app's action POST must refer to an object also owned by the same app. Mind you, I also do not know what shud be syntax to refer to objects owned by FB.

You can tag a place to a post but it will simply prefix it with " -at Walmart"

Yes, this is possible. To set the "at Walmart" part, set the action's "place" field when creating an action via a POST. For example, you can pass this:

?place=https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pizzeria-Delfina/53645450697

which should result in setting the place on an action like:

"place": {
    "location": {
        "city": "San Francisco, CA", 
        "zip": "94110", 
        "country": 398, 
        "region": 0, 
        "address": "3611 18th Street/2406 California St.", 
        "id": 2421836
    }, 
    "id": "53645450697", 
    "name": "Pizzeria Delfina"
},

Documentation on the basic action properties is here:

  • But doesn't that add it as a place? "John shopped - at Walmart" I actually want to do something like "John drank Coke" - in which Coke refers to the official Coke page My question is probably too ambiguous, have editted to make it more clearer. – MechaStorm Oct 19 '11 at 09:35
