I want to create a website where users can like one-another's Facebook page posts and get points. After getting points, they can use these points to add their own Facebook page post. When users want to add their post from their page, they select their page and all their posts are displayed so that they can easily choose which post to add. For this purpose, I made use of the Page Public Content Access feature. However, when I submit my app for review I am getting the following:
Not Approved
Your screencast doesn't show how the use of this permission directly improves the user experience in your app. Unfortunately, we also weren't able to determine this from testing your app manually.
All permissions data must be visibly used within your app. We do not accept permission requests for data that you may decide to use later.
Please see our Examples page to learn more about making and submitting a successful screencast.
Learn more about testing permissions prior to approval.
but I can't find what is wrong with my submission. I would be glad if you can help. This is how my submission looks like:
Tell us how you're using this permission or feature
My app is for new starters who want their Facebook page to address greater audience. In this app, users can earn points liking posts of one-another's Facebook pages and use these points to advertise posts of their Facebook Pages. I use Page Public Content Access to help people choose post from all posts that they shared in their Facebook Page. They choose post that they want to display in my website and in this way this post addresses greater audience. First, user chooses his or her Facebook page which the post belongs to, then, all the posts of this Facebook Page are displayed using Page Public Content Access, so that they can choose easily. They choose the post that they want to add to website.
Demonstrate how your selected platforms will use this permission or feature
1.Click Login in Home page
2.Click Facebook and Login your Facebook
3.Confirm your Username
4.Click Facebook in navbar and Choose "Add Post"
5. Choose your page in which you shared the post
6. Click "Choose Post" which will display your posts where you can select the post which you want to add to the website
7. Choose 10 Points and click Add Post

I own a blog like website, and as part of promotions I have a corresponding facebook page. My website contents are dynamic & when it gets updated(through a bot), I want the facebook page also to be updated by an automated post/publish from the bot which shows up the updates to the page viewers.
I could create a facebook page, and my bot programme which updates the web content is also able to publish the content on my facebook page using graph apis. But the posts are not publicly visible(Visible to only me/admin).
I could learn that it could be because my app through which my bot program is publishing to my facebook page is not public.
App->Status & Review, Status (Tab)
(Do you want to make this app and all its live features available to the general public?).
To make the app public, there is a review process which checks the facebook login button used in the website but my posts are through a backend bot and not through user action. My website is like a blog without user authentication so can't think of adding a login there.
Is it possible without having user login on the page? Also, If I post using twitter apis and link/configure my twitter account to my facebook page, it works.I guess this is not a new problem and many brands have automated it already, so need to understand how.
Am I missing something?
Apologies: I have checked previous posts on the same topic, but couldn't find relevant answers for the current Facebook version & policies.
Without the Login Review process, your posts can not be visible to the public.
To get it working, just send your page management tool (with the login dialog) for the review. Once they review it and accepted, you may change the flow a bit eg: skip the login part and allow auto posting.
Is it possible for people who are visiting my website to leave comments/posts which are visible/posted both on my site and on my Facebook page?
So if a user types in my site a comment such as "your site sucks big time" I want that post to exist both in my site (in a comments page for example) and in my site's Facebook page.
The comments plugin seems just to add a comments functionality in my website.
The embedded posts plugin does the opposite. Is there some combined functionality?
It is not possible with the Comments Plugin, you could listen to the edge event for creating a new comment but it does not get you access to the contents of the comment: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/FB.Event.subscribe/v2.2
There is only one way to do this: By creating your own commenting system and by authorizing every user who wants to comment. Since you probably want the comments to show up as posted by that user, you would need to authorize the user with the "publish_actions" permission. You need to get that permission approved too: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/review/login
So, the steps are:
Create your own commenting system
Authorize users who want to comment (FB.login)
The user should be able to decide (with a checkbox, for example) if he wants his comment to show up on Facebook too
After posting in your custom commenting system, use the feed endpoint of your page for posting
...or use the comments endpoint of a specific page post
Two questions about the "Add Data to Profile URL" configuration option in the new enhanced auth dialog already exist, but sadly they do not have complete answers. Here are the questions for reference :
Open Graph Beta: Add Data to Profile URL
How to configure 'Add Data to Profile URL' in Auth Dialog?
I have a website which allows users to login with FB credentials. I intend to use open graph publish_actions feature for some of the user actions on my website. I am configuring the new enhanced auth dialog and am unable to understand the configuration option Add Data to Profile URL.
My Questions :
What should this URL point to? -- Is it a page on my website? Is it a special App page that Facebook makes available? Will Facebook ever fetch this page and parse the contents to be displayed somewhere? The documentation on this is very vague -- It says "The new user flow URL for your app. This URL should point to a URL that expedites for engagement and action publishing. See the Add Data to Profile section below.". I do not understand what this new user flow URL is.. ! The section below doesn't say much more either
Where will this URL be shown to users - both user already using my app and their friends who are not yet using my app? Will this be displayed in the news_feed stories or the Timeline? If so will authenticated referrals kick in when the user clicks on this link?
The documentation says that if this configuration option is set then the app will get a Perforated Unit and Add to My Timeline Link -- Where will these two things appear -- in the aggregations shown on timelines of users of my app? Will I get these if I set the option to any value (like my website homepage) or should it point to a page with specific <og:xxx> tags?. The screen shots are isolated ones and I do not understand where they will appear on the user's profile/timeline.
I have been reading the documentation repeatedly but I do not understand this specific section. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
I want to create facebook application that will allow to insert some data from my site to user's profile. User can choose to set up application. The users enters his ID on my site and when user's profile is viewed there is block of data loaded from my site (specified to the ID).
Is this possible to create such application with facebook ? If no the what type of application is closest to this? My site users want to display their profiles from my site inside their facebook profiles , so facebook friends can see this.
If I understand you correctly you want to add some additional data on the users Facebook profile, something like if Stackoverflow would add their flair on the Facebook profile.
I don't think this is possible, but you have a few alternatives:
Make the user post out a link to his profile on your site to his Facebook Wall, more details here.
Integrate your site to the new Open Graph Objects. Open Graph Objects will create a box on the users profile for your application which shows the users activity in your application. You should check out the demos and documentation for more information about this.
The users enters his ID on my site and when user's profile is viewed there is block of data loaded from my site
You can't do anything like this, you will need to use the authentication flow provided by Facebook in order to get access to the Facebook user data and then tie up the Facebook user to "your user", see documentation.
When it comes to what type of app you should create, there is basically only one type of app with some different options. But you should focus on the "Facebook for websites" documentation.
I created a FB App to facilitate FB Connect authentication on my website.
Users can share content from my site to Facebook via the same FB app.
We also created a FB Fan Page to grow our community reach.
However a FB App is a separate entity than a Fan Page, whatever content is shared via our website to FB the App link sends the users to an empty App page while all the fuzz is in our Fan page.
I did an extensive research for this issue and only came up with this useful post here in stackoverflow: "Fan page vs Application Page".
Ideally i'd want the App link ("... via appName") on every shared item to point to our fan page.
I need to know if this is an issue that FB needs to address, if i am missing something and what do you do to solve this situation
Some apps are able to do this :
http://mediafeedia.com/pro/
http://www.postplanner.com/white-label-facebook-app/
I also would be interested to know how they do this.
I've checked all app settings...
No, the App attribution on posts made via the API returns the user to that app's profile page - you'd need to have information there directing them back to your brand page if that's where you want them to go after they end up there.
I think in most cases people would click the name of the page or one of the links in the post rather than that small link at the bottom, no?
