I am trying to create an automated way to wish everyone who has liked my facebook page a happy birthday on the day of their birthday. I want this to be automatic and a private message. Does anyone know how to do this?

I am now using Facebook API. The aim is to determine that he is not a fan of the Facebook fan page
So I want to ask Facebook to help me open the delegated authority
I need to open a test account good they do audit
But I found that when I use the test account
And have no way to praise, because there is no press Like button appears
Because I need to obtain a judgment that is to praise
I do not know do not do it, or are there any alternative options?
I hope you can help me doubts
I have the same problem.
— My Test users are friends with each other
— One test user posts a status update
— I log in as the other test user. The post appears on my timeline, but I have only a "share" button, NO LIKE BUTTON.
Im toying around with integrating facbook into a website. Basically this website will generate acheivements for each user after X amount time (starting from a day up to a year).
I want to post these milestones to facebook automatically (with users prior permission). Does facebook allow this?
This article seems pretty darn explicit that its not.
But i have seen lots of posts on SO that are scheduling posts while trying to figure this out. Perhaps i have terminology's mixed up or something. Could someone explain this for me please.
If its not possible, does this mean that the only time an app can post to a users facebook wall is when the user explicitly clicks something to the effect of "post to my wall". Meaning they would need to login and manually approve every milestone?
Thanks
No, it's not possible to post something on behalf of a user automatically. According to the facebook's policy, even if a user grants you a publishing permission, actions you take on the user's behalf must be expected by the user, i.e. user must be aware of the actions you are taking on his behalf. As the article says, this can be done, for example, by prompting user with a dialog box with a link to Share a photo to their timeline each time your app would like to share to the user’s Stream.
Facebook however permits scheduled Page posts, but I guess this is not what you want. You can read more about it here.
I'm sure some of you have seen this viral Facebook post going around. How it works is you enter your birth year into the comments like #[1988:] and it will give you a name. I am stumped trying to figure out how they are able to change the users comment programmatically. The Facebook API doesn't really provide any documentation on how this is done and the thing I don't understand is how its able to work without any of the users permissions? Is this even an app or some Facebook easter egg? Any ideas?
They're not doing anything and this isn't API usage either; that's Facebook's standard method for tagging in plain text posts - #[4:] for example will show Mark ZUckerberg's profile pic - it also works in chat
It works with 'birth years' because the first few hundred user IDs are mostly in use, because when Facebook first launched it incremented new uids from 4 upwards.
I don't know if this is possible (I don't know the Graph API too well yet).
I've seen a lot of posts about a page posting to a user's profile, but not the other way around. I want to write an app that allows a user to post to a business page's timeline. Users can do this normally, but they can't add things at a certain date (which is vital to this project).
So in short this app needs to:
Let users post to the Business page timeline
Let users specify the date in the timeline (Ex: I did something on this date)
I know admins can edit the time and date, but can we open up that option to users?
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:
