Examples
Simple Example
Create a call to action to the gifts dialog:
{% gifts name:"pizza_gifter" %}
{% gifts_form_link %}Share a Pizza{% endgifts_form_link %}
{% endgifts %}
This will wrap "Share a Pizza" with an anchor, turning it into a call to action.
When the user clicks that link, they will see a dialog box. The user can select a gift, friend, and write an optional message. Cannot resolve external resource into attachment.
Note: The form automatically validates that the user selected a gift and recipient.
Now, the user can post the gift to the friend's wall through Facebook's publish feature:
Cannot resolve external resource into attachment.
The story will appear on the friend's feed, like so:
Cannot resolve external resource into attachment.

</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endgifts %}
