Facebook App - Share link is missing while posting to user's feed

I'm sharing a link on a user's feed - everything seems to be valid, but there's no Share link (Share button)... What is it that I'm doing wrong?

try {
  $su = $facebook->api(
                    "/{$uid}/feed",
                    "post",
                    array(
                      "access_token"=> $access_token,
                      "message"=> "Message",
                      "link" => "http://url",
                      "picture"=> "http://url"
                    );
} catch (FacebookApiException $e) {
  print_r($e);
}

Thanks in advance, Doori Bar

I'm fairly confident this is a bug. To encourage Facebook to fix this issue, please "vote" for this bug by adding your app as a "repro" at the following link:

http://developers.facebook.com/bugs/154484061346461?browse=search_4f903d2ea60569f93022163

UPDATE: Facebook marked the previous bug report as "Fixed" but it is NOT fixed. Please vote for the new bug:

You can create your own "Share" link using Actions described in the graph API here:

http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/post/

for example as json: {"name":"Share", "link":"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fvisibli.com"}

Note: the url param u must be url encoded.

very strange. I have the same problem. I have developed a Facebook App and I used a function to post on the user wall. But on the user Wall there is no "Share" link. It's only possible to like or comment it.

If I use this other technique, a dialog showing to post (on wall) OR to "send as a message instead" is displayed. (I was looking for this feature as well).

And the good thing is that the resulting post to the wall can be liked, commented AND Shared.

This is the javascript code that can help you to obtain this functionality:

<script>function fbs_click() {u=location.href;t=document.title;window.open('http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u='+encodeURIComponent(u)+'&t='+encodeURIComponent(t),'sharer','toolbar=0,status=0,width=626,height=436');return false;}</script><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=<;;url>" onclick="return fbs_click()" target="_blank">Share on Facebook</a>

Taken from http://askville.amazon.com/add-Share-Facebook-button-webpage/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=1539369

Hope this helps. It helped me at least ;)
