According to docs , the Add to Timeline button will be deprecated from August 2012. Unfortunately, there is no guide on how to achieve the same functionality. Surprisingly, the Open Graph tutorial uses a button (which seems unreasonable if it is broken in a couple of months). Since I'm writing a new action / timeline implementation right now, I'm not going to include something that I will need to remove in a couple of months. Everything works fine with AJAX and PHP-SDK, and only two problems remain unsolved (which, I think, will work with a button):
It is impossible to tell if an action has already been submitted. I have a "unique", but I can’t hide the "Add to chronology" option if it has already been published.
Nothing good. I could display the current (soon obsolete) button and steal the image, but I would prefer to use what looks like other sites and make users comfortable so that they know what will happen when they click.
Does Facebook have a replacement for this button? Or should all timeline columns pass silently after initial resolution? I thought Facebook encourages more user approval for Timeline actions - where should this control go? For third-party user interface elements? Does this not undermine some of the power of the Facebook ecosystem - the fact that it is the same with the same behavior on the Internet? This upsets the way it is presented now - it pushes you in one direction in the textbook to let you know that the function will become obsolete for several months. I basically gave up hope for problem number 1, but is there an official button without obsolescence that will give me a nice, pleasant visibility?
Also, are there other functions that this button does / have been ported to other plugins?
