This is my first post, I'm glad to join the community. I have very limited, practically no experience with coding, however I am working on something that requires me to jump into coding, so here I am.
My objective is to use the Facebook Advertising tracking pixel to track Soundcloud plays on my page and ultimately target people who have been listening to my tracks on Soundcloud.
Facebook usually allows you to track conversions from your own website, however it says that If you do not own the website where you are trying to track some information from, you should contact the website and ask them.
I have tried contacting Soundcloud but obviously received no response.
I was wondering wether there was a way to get around the issue that I do not own the website and therefore cannot copy and paste the Facebook pixel into Soundcloud's HTML.
I have done some research online, looking into forums, but there seems to be no discussion about this online, at least nothing that I could understand with my limited knowledge.
Here are a few links i checked out before posting here, unfortunately with little success.

Thank you for your time,
Any help is appreciated.
Kindest regards,

I've found a few really old answers that do not work. I am building a website for my church. What I want to do is have a feed that shows events from Facebook, that way when the lady that does our social media adds an event it will automatically post them to our website. This will keep the website easy to maintain. Besides paying for a plugin, what is the best way to go about this?
Yes, I know you can embed events. But I am trying to keep it as easy as possible for people at my church who are not really techie or know how to design websites. Please help.
I am using squarespace and the website is ccodtruth.org
I currently need to collect pictures-comment (someone comment by pasting a picture) from facebook page group
I have done some research and find that
1.Support for this hasn't yet been added to the Graph API and as with many of the other messaging APIs, it's currently only avaialable for testing (i.e you must be a developer of the app to use it presently)
from
View attachments in threads
2.You have to use the old php SDK until graph supports attachments
from
Posting Attachment Facebook Graph API
could any one provide some codes to me?
I need to know
Are the two approaches really works?? If yes, then... If no, I guess i will need to write/find a crawler (but it again sounds difficult as facebook group page is dynamic web)
What should I do if I want to follow 1st approach?
Should I register as developer and set up an app and...? (I have no experience in setting up facebook app and would appreciate any useful step-by-step tutorial)
If I am going the 2nd approach (php SDK), are there are tutorial as I have no idea what should I do next.
I know java, c++ and little js but facebook apis are something really new to me.
Really appreciate any help.
I am developing a flash game and I want to integrate it with Facebook. It should be very simple integration. My app only need username and e-mail address. I searched the web not I still don't know how to do it. It seems to me very complicated.
All I want is to connect my app to Facebook through Actionscript SDK, with few simple functions.
Can someone help me with a code to do that...I'll be very thankful guys :-)
Well, it's a general question, but here are a few links that might help steer you in the right direction. The first link has the SWC library and some examples:
Facebook ActionScript API resources:
libraries and examples
API documentation (though fairly sparse)
Adobe page
On their page, Adobe links to a tutorial / walkthrough for building a mobile Facebook app that's pretty helpful, though it expands on a desktop-based article and references it regularly, so that can be a bit confusing, but it does get the job done.
Then you need to understand the Facebook Graph API - basically Facebook passes around objects that contain data pertaining to the user, their friends, etc (and of course, passing around this data is subject to the permissions your app has setup). Facebook provides an online tool (Facebook Graph API Explorer) that let's you explore these objects for your own account.
Pouring over this information, I got my first flash-based mobile app talking to Facebook in a few hours. There you go, ask a generic question, get a big swath of links to read that are only semi-related to your question. =D
this seems like a fairly simple question, but I just can't figure it out. I recently developed a facebook game. Now when somebody is playing that game the the message everybody loves is appearing in his stream:
Some guy is playing the most awesome game ever.
And after that, the is a description, which is the root of my problem. I'd like to change this description, which at the moment is showing ...
Facebook is a social utility that connects people with friends and others who work, study and live around them. People use Facebook to keep up with friends, upload an unlimited number of photos, post links and videos, and learn more about the people they meet.
Does anybody know where I can change this text? It would also be helpful if somebody could tell me what the term for that text is, so I could do the research on my own.
//Edit: Ok, the term for the particular FB post is social discovery or usage stories, which unfortunately didn't help me find out how I can change the description of that post. That would be the remaining question.
first time Facebook developer so was hoping for some guidance. Been given a very brief spec:
Requirement is to run it where fans have to give email (so that we can
contact winners) with opt in for newsletter sign up and also must FB
like VF to be entered into prize draw. There will be options to choose
from. They choose one and can't vote more than once.
So I'm thinking about a Facebook application that sits as a tab on the facebook page. If the user hasn't "Liked" the page, they'll be encouraged to "Like" the page in order to proceed.
If it's liked, they'll have an option to opt into our newsletter. They will also be allowed to answer one question with one answer. When they submit it, they will then be entered into a competition.
If they pick the "right" option, we will send them an email telling them so.
Right - does this sound fairly straightforward? Are there any guides, examples or tutorials that could help? Am I going about it in the right way?
Many thanks in advance,
JJ
That sounds very straightforward and you are going about it in the right way.
The best tutorials and examples can probably be found in the Facebook Developers documentation and in the example files within the PHP SDK (http://github.com/facebook/php-sdk/)
To find out if the current viewing user has liked the page or not check out the signed request that Facebook passes to your app tab. It contains this and a lot more useful information http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/signed_request/
What you have is pretty much how the majority of companies are pushing forward with Facebook. They are driving up the Like count by forcing users to Like the page before getting to their goodies. There are lots of examples on the internet as to how to create a page which checks if the user likes the page. As you've not stated what programming language you are going to be tackling this in, it is going to be hard to point you in the right direction.
