We are using server side to post users several photos into an album using the publish_actions. Unfortunately Facebook are shutting down this permission in august and encourage its user to migrate to share dialogs. The dialogs have 2 problems with posting multiple photos:
1 they are built for links (with OG:Tags in them) and not for photos.
2 they require several clicks for each post and will become a UX nightmare for posting an album of say 10 photos.
Anyone found a good replacement / solution?

I'm working on an app in which I intend to display the existing posts from my Facebook wall but in another design. I succeeded in getting my personal posts but for some reasons I cannot find the posts of the other users in my feed. Is there any way in which I can get all the post from my wall including my friends? Is this even possible? I could not find an answer yet, not even in the docs.
Thanks!
I have just started looking into Facebook Messenger's bots and am thinking of making one.
Recently, Facebook Messenger has introduced the idea of Shared Days, which are basically Snapchat-like stories that people can post to and share for their friends to see.
Does Facebook's APIs allow one to use a bot to create stories (post pictures to shared days)?
I am looking at the APIs and cannot find anyway to do this. I want to create a bot that can post stories on Facebook Messenger's Shared Days. I want the bot to post stories periodically on its own story that only its subscribers can see, if that's possible.
Any reference to some documentation, and perhaps a simple toy example would be helpful.
Currently, you cannot post to a user's or page's "My Day" using the Send API or any other apis.
That doesn't cut you off entirely from using them in your bot, however. Facebook is making it easier to share content from bots to your friends or my day with each iteration of messenger.
When your bot puts an image file into chat as an upload, your user can click the share arrow next to the image, or at the bottom left when fullscreened, and share it to their day, their friends, group chats, etc.
IMO, This is a very powerful viral tool that no one is using yet.
I have one question.
I want to share photos from my application via facebook.
There is no problem to share it on my wall, but is there any possibility to share it on friend's wall ?
Something like click share button, log in, choose friends and share it on their wall ?
I have been searching application in appstore which can do that, but i found nothing.
You can post to a user's friend's feed using the Graph API, assuming the user granted you the relevant (publish_stream) permissions.
POST /[friend]/feed
message=hello&picture=http://...
I should stress strongly that users consider this very spammy behavior for apps, and it is not generally recommended.

When posting additional photos to an existing Facebook album, each individual photo is being displayed on the mobile Facebook view as a separate post. Desktop display still groups them (correctly) into 1 album and shows as a single post.
For instance, if I add 20 photos to an album, the people who have liked my page will see 20 individual posts in their feed from my account on their mobile devices. This has been happening for about 2 weeks now as far as I've noticed. My upload process has not changed.
I should note that I've noticed this behavior by uploading via Lightroom as well as through the direct Facebook interface.
Has anyone else experienced this? Did something change that I am not aware of?
Thanks.
I am importing the posts and comments in my FB fan page to my custom website. I am importing using graph api. In the response array I am getting two types of action URL for "comments" and "likes".
See below :
http://www.facebook.com/149263441795729/posts/240758399312899
Using this link in following code
<fb:like href="http://www.facebook.com/149263441795729/posts/240758399312899" width="450" height="80"/>
I get the following error
The page at http://www.facebook.com/149263441795729/posts/240758399312899 could not be reached.
How can I like these posts or comments from my website? Is there any solution for that?
I think--I'm no expert here--that redirects such as this are controlled by Facebook, with a cross-site scripting policy file on their servers that say whether or not they will allow redirects and to who. On my website for example I allow anybody to cross link, since I'm just a little guy, but I bet Facebook only allows it with preferred partners like various corporations, see the story below. That would be my best guess.

Facebook may be adding cross-linking to Foursquare, Yelp, Gowalla and more on Pages
Facebook appears to have added cross-linking between Pages and other location-based sites like Foursquare, Yelp, Gowalla and SCVNGR to its Pages, reports Scribbal. Tech evangelist Robert Scoble posted a notice on his Google+ profile earlier today that indicated a new partnership between Foursquare and Facebook as the Page for a place was shown to direct viewers to the comparable location on Foursquare.
The links appear off to the left underneath the ‘Like’ count and checkin count on a location’s page. The only question that remains is whether the users are activating these connections themselves or if it is something that is done automatically. This could be Facebook’s plan to integrate itself with other location sites now that it has distributed the Facebook Places features throughout its framework.
Facebook has been on a tear lately, adding the Subscribe button and smart Friends list features just this week, as well as Facebook integration into the new Skype for Mac. It is clearly making an effort to maintain its lead over Google+ as the preeminent social network and it doesn’t want lack of features to be a reason for anyone to quit it.
We have reached out to Facebook about this new feature and will update this post when we hear back.
