Not really sure how to explain this. But I am looking to display Facebook posts from a user on a website without any of the Facebook branding or page plugins. The title, date, image etc. must be customisable. I am not sure what API which is needed. I was wondering if someone could direct me to where I could look about this subject matter.
If this question has been mentioned before please let me know. Thanks!

I will try to be as clear as I can with my request but as I am still unsure as to what I am looking for I might come across as vague.
I was hoping I could get some help understanding the best approach to allowing a user to post a link with an attached image to the walls of a selection of their friends on Facebook. There are lot of approaches and answers out there but I am having trouble determining what is best.
Thanks for helping me see straight

Its really up to the user if your using the JS toolkit.
Click share under your question. Then when dialog pops up you get the option of where to share it.
So solution 1) leave it in the hands of the user.
If you want to force them into share on friends wall you will need to find something that does this or
DIY.
The DIY approach would be to have your site /app do oAuth authentication. Pass that to an oauth library and then list a users friends maybe with https://github.com/mbrevoort/jquery-facebook-multi-friend-selector.
Then issue the appropriate graph request to post to each one's time line.
The choice is yours but those are the 2 approaches I know of.
I've created an app which enables business to post links to their Facebook wall as the business (have proper business auth tokens, etc.).
However the links posted via the app do not have a share link, only comments and like. When a link is posted through the Facebook UI to the business wall it does contain a share link along with comments and like.
What am I missing to enable the link posted via my app to have a share link?
I am currently issuing a POST request to the following URL to create the posts:
https://graph.facebook.com/[profileId]/feed?message=[message]&link=[link]&...
this is a reported bug and have not been fixed yet. have a look (http://developers.facebook.com/bugs/307556529334653)
I think you will need publish_stream permission for that and publish what they write. IMO Facebooks makes difference between feed and stream. Just my thoughts :)
that's the standard procedure when you have a user post via app. I don't think there's a way to have users post as themselves, as far as links are concerned. What you can do is have them post a status update and that one will be seen as posted by the user (no app information).
There's no other procedure I am aware of that can do that. I hope this helps
I have a webpage, and facebook page. I would like to have a "like" button that wouldn´t like the facebook page but the last post I made on the facebook page. Is this possible?
Greetings
sorry but having an external like button pointing to a single facebook content is not possible at the moment. Although there are codes in the Graph API: Publishing documentation that relate to this.
Using the said code can make users (who authorized you app) like a content, just like what you are asking for, but I've tried this before and it says that the application needs to be white-listed. I've researched more into this matter and a few more people experienced this as well.

I'm trying to grab someones facebook picture from their page while just knowing their email address. I know that the service gravatar.com does this, but a lot of people don't have accounts there so I would like to grab the pictures from facebook. Is this possible? I didn't find anything about this in the developers part of facebook.
Programatically? You may not necessarily have the right to use others photographs. Facebook can because the users have agreed to their T&Cs and uploaded the pictures but I don't think you have any rights concerning the pictures without first contacting the owner.
just a quick look at facebook and i've found that when you are logged in to facebook you can search for users based on email address and that will bring back the avatar. i'd be surprised if neither the api nor the FQL supports this functionality since it seems pretty basic.
+1 evernoob on the legality part. altho it is available to you when you're logged in so i can't see why they'd specifically restrict you.
good luck and let us know the results.

I've really few experience with Facebook development, just made few things...
I'd like to know how to programatically modify a fan page, the particular requirement that I've right now is to control posts from users, I'd like to be notified for a new post and also have the ability to delete posts.
Could you guide me to accomplish this task? What should I use / read to get this done.
Thanks a lot!
As far as I know there is now way to receive an email through facebook when someone adds a new wall post to a Fan Page.

A user did mention "If you're using Firefox, install Update Scanner to your addons"
I'm sure the docs can help you on programmatically deleting a post. Try here:
