I am building a Facebook app and trying to implement a share dialog. Currently, I've only found how to create a feed dialog that allows you to post to your own wall (see image below).

What I am trying to achieve is a "Share" dialog that allows users to select whether they want to post to their own wall, on a friend's timeline, or a page. Spotify allows this functionality from their feed posts (see spotify example image below).

In addition to creating the share dialog, how do I add a "Share" action next to "Like" and "Comment" on a feed post?

Thanks in advance!!

What you are looking for is the Share Button. Facebook has deprecated this and claim it will no longer be supported. If you want, you can still directly pop open a window with the content of the sharer by using a url similar to this:

https://www.facebook./sharer/sharer.php?u=http://google.

and just change out the value of the u query string parameter
