from my private Facebook profile I created a page for the club I'm a member of. I now want to export all the events created on the page to a google calendar via the webcal-link. There are manuals on how to do this but the calendar link I get only contains the events of my private profile and not the club events. How can I get the club-events and not my private ones?
Based from this thread, you can get the xml link to your Gcal in the individual calendar's settings(hover over the calendar's name in the sidebar, click the arrow that shows up, and choose "Calendar settings") and use an rss-to-Facebook service like RSS Graffiti, IFTTT, Zapier or Networked Blogs to post new items to your Facebook page. However, it is also stated that Facebook isn't a calendar management application and there's no native method of importing events.
According to this discussion:
Click "Discussion" then click "Write Post". This is not the same as embedding, but it's the only option for group members. If you are the group administrator, you can put the link in the description (on the right).
You can check this tutorial on how to sync Facebook events with Google Calendar. You can also check this site to integrate Facebook pages and Google Calendar.

I am trying to enable deep linking from custom open graph stories. I have gone through the instructions listed
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ios/app-links
Deep linking works fine when I click from the Facebook timeline to the actual story post page and then click the object button. If I click the object button on the timeline itself, the url is NOT handled and instead is open directly in the Facebook webview.
This may be because I don't have a web platform added on my App Dashboard.
Facebook documentation reads
Deep linking in Open Graph stories If you're deep linking from an Open
Graph story published from your app, you will need to go through one
more step.
...
If you HAVEN'T already added a website for this app, in the App
Dashboard, inside your app's settings, click on ''Add platform'', and
select ''Website''. Then in any of the fields (either ''Site URL'' or
''Mobile site URL''), fill in your subdomain. It doesn't matter if you
don't have a website that you're integrating with Facebook, this will
register this subdomain for use with your native app.
However, when I try to add a the url in app settings (the screenshots match those in the documentation), my open graph submission is rejected by Facebook with the note:
Your app does not qualify for the submitted platform. In the app
settings tab, please remove platforms without Facebook integration.
Canvas or page tab apps cannot redirect users, and websites must
properly integrate Facebook login.
Anybody been through this before and can lend some guidance? I am very much confused by the documentation.
The deep-linking started working on its own about a week later without any changes on my part.
We run a website with a blog and we're using a wordpress plug-in that pushes the blog posts to facebook via an app. It is working fine for regular users but we want it to push the posts to the organisation's community page.
The annoying thing is, I deleted an existing community page and created a new page via the "Create New Facebook Page" button in the "App Page:" setting of the "App Details" area for my app.
The new page was created exactly as requested, and it still won't allow me to link it to the app.
How can I get this working?
The Wordpress plug-in is called "Add Link To Facebook" in case anyone is wondering.
Please ensure you are using the pro version and confirm this. It seems this functionality is only provided in pro.
Wordpress requires a separate action to authorize pages. So using an app for example you'll first authorize your account to be accessed and then another popup will appear asking you to select one of many pages in your account. Is anything like this happening?
For a project, I have been asked to put a complete Facebook application inside the timeline. However, I cannot find any information about this in the Facebook reference. Does anybody know if it can be done?
I believe your client wants to use the new Add To TimeLine feature. This provides another introduction from user perspective.
As an example, this image shows Spotify, NetFlix and Nike app implementations of the new feature on the timeline:
You can implement a basic "add to timeline" functionality using the JavaScript SDK although API documentation is limited.
You can also create customized app contents and aggregate contents ("movies watched this month on Netflix") for the Timeline by integrating your app with the Open Graph. Facebook has this introductory tutorial.
Probably you talking about Page Tab application for pages with Timeline.
Read the tutorial for Page Tab applications and documentation for Add to Page dialog.
For personal profiles applications in timeline is only section dedicated to actions and activities published by application to user.
I created a Facebook application which occasionally publishes information to the timeline. As I was developing it, I noticed that at some point a box with the title of my application appeared in the timeline (a box similar to the "Friends" or "Activity" boxes). It contained an overview of the last posts published by my application.
Today, I noticed that this box is now gone from the timeline.
Does anybody know how are these boxes created? Is it something that Facebook do automatically? Is it possible to manually (or programmatically) put it back?
Any information on this would be great.
Application box will appear in user's timeline as long as you used Add To Timeline social plugin or requested publish_actions permission from user and published an OpenGraph action.
As long as you have defined aggregations, the box will some and go depends on Facebook's algorithms. Usually, activity us grouped in the Activity (Recent) box on the user's timeline. But sometimes one of the aggregation boxes appear in the timeline too - unfortunately, there is no way to force it to appear all the time.
I'm making some tests here and all the apps that I had created today didn't show on the App Profile Page (example http://apps.facebook.com/lojaeotica/). Is there some update or policy change for today? I didn't see anything in Developers Blog.
Have a look at the blog posted today - http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/611/
Title of the topic is "Removing App Profile Pages", this would explain you on how to address your need.
Here is what it says - "New apps will not automatically get an App Profile Page. Instead, new apps can choose to create a Facebook Page from the Dev App. Simply visit the Contact Info section in the Advanced tab of the Dev App and click on the “Create Facebook Page” button to create a new Facebook Page."
There's an open bug report about this:https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/325983410747148
As stated by Facebook, new apps won't get their own app page automatically. You can either create it in the apps 'advanced settings' or if you just need the link to integrate it into your facebook page, modify and use this one here:
www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=YOUR_APP_ID&next=YOUR_URL"
It is not a bug, but a poorly implemented new feature. If you only need the profile page to add it as a tab you can use this: http://www.addtab.info/
