Hi Anshuman,

There are plenty of articles about social networks in Forum Nokia. Some of them may help you:

hello friends,I am working on app where i have to post the video link to facebook,so i have used the postfeed project for facebook which is present in git repository,my link appears in the below way
http://xyz.abc.com.aspx?streamid=223322&id=1400...
now it accepts till http://xyz.abc.com.aspx?streamid=223322

Try to play with
"QUrl::toPercentEncoding() ":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qurl.html#toPercentEncoding and "QUrl::fromPercentEncoding() ":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qurl.html#fromPercentEncoding

[BorahAnshuman]

the code i have written is like this..u please check where i have done mistake..and where i use toPercentEncoding() function

@void Video::shareOnFacebook()
{

PostFeed *pPostFeed=new PostFeed;
QUrl url;
url.setUrl("http://xyz.abc.com.aspx?");

url.addQueryItem("streamid", video.url);
url.addQueryItem("id","1400");
url.addQueryItem("type","video-mp4");//mp4
url.addQueryItem("redirect","false");

pPostFeed->setPostText(url.toString());
pPostFeed->showFullScreen();

}@

[goetz]

Any links to that postfeed project?

[BorahAnshuman]

can u please elobrate me..becoz here the url that i have to pass is in QString and in toPercentEncoding() its needs Qstring,Qbyte,Qbyte as arguments so can u give an example of how that can be done..i hv seen qt doc but i dont understand how to implement it in my code..please suggest me...

[goetz]

Did you read and understand my comment?

Do you mind writing correct english here, please. This is Qt Developer Network, not Facebook. I'm so tired of reading your g33ky l337 two-letter teenie writings. You and your well known colleague have been told so many times.

[BorahAnshuman]

actually i tried this code..

@QUrl url;
url.setUrl("http://xyz.abc.com.aspx?");

url.addQueryItem("streamid", video.url);
url.addQueryItem("&id","1400");
url.addQueryItem("&type","video-mp4");@
now link is share to facebook but only thing is that it only takes the link before "&" means if i pass
http://xyz.abc.com.aspx?streamid=643646&id=1900 then it share upto

http://xyz.abc.com.aspx?streamid=643646..so hw can i resolve this..

Hi Borah,

this code:

@
Dialog::Dialog(QWidget *parent) :
QDialog(parent),
ui(new Ui::Dialog)
{
ui->setupUi(this);

QUrl url;
url.setUrl("http://xyz.abc.com.aspx?");
url.addQueryItem("streamid", "643646");
url.addQueryItem("&id","1400");
url.addQueryItem("&type","video-mp4");

ui->m_pLabel->setText(url.toString());

}
@

leads to this string in the label:

@
http://xyz.abc.com.aspx?streamid=643646&&id=1400&&type=video-mp4
@

so it seams as the problem lies somewhere else...
As I see double & characters there, your parameters are perhaps wrong?

hello Gerolf
Actually my work is to remove & from my url..intially when i write..

url.addQueryItem("id", "3646"); then single "&" arises in the link..how can i replace "&"..i know it can encode it with % but how can i use it in code i dont understand..please suggest me..

with regards
Anshuman

[giesbert]

Sorry, I did not understand.
Please write you input string wand how it should look like as examples.
like:

@
http://xyz.abc.com.aspx?streamid=643646&id=1400&type=video-mp4
@

should become
@
http://xyz.abc.com.aspx?streamid=643646%id=1400%type=video-mp4
@

[BorahAnshuman]

yeh..thats what i want..so how that can be done.can u please suggest me.

with regards
Anshuman Borah

[giesbert]

Use

@
QString sz = url.toString();
sz.replace(...);
@

or look at the docu of QUrl:

• "void QUrl::setQueryDelimiters ( char valueDelimiter, char pairDelimiter )":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qurl.html#setQueryDelimiters

[goetz]

Borah,

why so complicated? Is it so hard for you to just write:

This is what I have: abcdef
This is what I want: xyzklm

Nobody understands your explanations - do you?

[BorahAnshuman]

hello Gerolf
