Facebook Hack: Automatically post on the wall

March 25, 2008 in Hacks | 3 comments

Since it took me so long to find the wall of a huge messy profile of a friend when I wanted to say Happy Birthday, I was thinking of doing it by a simple HTTP POST.

First you need to gather following information

  1. Your post_form_id
  2. Your profile id
  3. Your friend’s profile id

That’s all you need, and you must be logged in to your facebook account (doesn’t matter if you have checked remember me).

Then type in the following html code and save it as a .htm file and double click on it. That’s it your message will be on your friends wall :) .

<html>
 <body>
  <form id="fb_wall" name="fb_wall" method="post"
   action="http://www.facebook.com/wallpost.php?id=[YOUR FRIEND'S ID]">
 
   <input type="text" id="to" name="to" value="[YOUR FRIEND'S ID]" />
   <input type="text" id="wall_text" name="wall_text"
          value="Happy Birthday" />
   <input type="text" id="from" name="from" value="[YOUR ID]" />
 
   <input type="text" id="post_form_id" name="post_form_id"
          value="[YOUR post_form_id]" />
 
   <input type="submit" />
  </form>
  <script language="JavaScript">document.fb_wall.submit();</script>
 </body>
</html>

Ok, so how do we find the post_form_id and the two profile id’s. To find the post_form_id you need to go to your profile and click view source in the view menu of the browser then search for post_form_id.

Now the two ids; Go to your profile and your friend’s profile and you’ll find the id in the URL.

That’s it! Try it for yourself.
