facebook_request_read_permissions

Request specific read actions from the Facebook API.

Syntax:

facebook_request_read_permissions(permissions)


Argument Description
permissions The permissions you want to have from the user.


Returns: Real


Description

With this function you can request additional read permissions for Facebook. These permissions are added (as strings) to a previously created ds_list which is then used in the function to send the request. The user must be successfully logged in (ie. they have called facebook_login) and the facebook_status should be "AUTHORISED" before you call this function. the functon returns a unique ID value for the request call or -1 if the request was not sent (for example, the user is not logged in).

This function will trigger an Asynchronous Social Event, which contains the ds_map async_load. This ds_map will be populated with various key/value pairs to report the success or failure of the request.


Example:

var permissions = ds_list_create();
if !facebook_check_permission("user_likes")
   {
   ds_list_add(permissions, "user_likes");
   }
if !facebook_check_permission("user_interests")
   {
   ds_list_add(permissions, "user_interests");
   }
if !ds_list_empty(permissions))
   {
   request_ID = facebook_request_read_permissions(permissions);
   }
ds_list_destroy(permissions);

The above code checks som eof the Facebook read permissions, and if the game has not requested them, a request is sent.
