events_create fails in facebook

Question

strugglin to create event in javascript as

api.events_create(eventInfo,function(result,ex){

is failing and

catch(FacebookRestClientException){ gives

TypeError: api.events_create is not a function message=api.events_create is not a function

any clue

Answer 1

Some more context would help in debugging this.

You've created the api object, yes? (e.g., var api = FB.Facebook.apiClient;)

Answer 2

I'm having the same problem. If I look at the list of functions attached to FB.Facebook.apiClient using a DOM inspector, events_create() does not exist - even though other methods like events_get() and feed_publishUserAction() are there.

Facebook might have deliberately omitted it.

Answer 3

api.callMethod works - have put a sample call , hope it helps

        var eventInfo = {
   "name":this.name.value,
   "category":"1",
   "subcategory":"2",
   "host":"My Host",
   "location":"JP Nagar",
   "city":"Bang",
   "start_time":starttime,
   "end_time":endtime};

 function createEvent(eventinfo) {
  try{
   //check if user has extended permission to create otherwise prompt him for same
   api.users_hasAppPermission('create_event',function(res,ex){
   if (res == 0)
    FB.Connect.showPermissionDialog("create_event", 
     function(res,ex){alert("Congratulations events");});
   });

   dict = {};
   dict['event_info'] = eventinfo;
   //provide a call back or a sequencer
   var ret = api.callMethod(
     'events.create', 
     dict,
     function(eventid,ex){
      console.log(data);
     });
   return ret;
  }
  catch(FacebookRestClientException){
   console.log(FacebookRestClientException);
  }
  return;
 }//createEvent routine
