link deprecated fields in v2.9

[TheStu]

Spent the last 3 hours trying to figure out what I was doing wrong, but it looks like the 4 fields associated with a link (caption, description, picture, name) have all been deprecated as of API v2.9.
It looks like a v2.9 access token or config.api_version = "v2.9" both cause the 4 fields to be stripped out, and the post goes through successfully, no error or warning.
Only place I could find it mentioned is here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.9/user/feed near the bottom. Fields will be deprecated for all API versions on July 17th.

Thanks! That's good to know. I'll rewrite that documentation. Were you able to figure out alternatives, by any chance?

Not really unfortunately. The workaround that I came up with was tweaking the title and meta description of the page being linked to, so that the data Facebook pulled from the page was more or less what I wanted it to be, but it's still a poor substitute.

Hello! Maybe this is not the way to ask this, but I would like to know how I can to specify the Facebook API versión to be used in my ruby project. I've found some old documentation but in the Koala version 3.0.0 I don't know where or how I can set this to use the Facebook API version 2.9

@josealbertohm I hope you resolved it but you can see the example of setting the api version per request or globally in the README: https://github.com/arsduo/koala#graph-api

How can this be solved to set a different image on the post?
