I am able to post an image link to the Facebook from my Android app. But after posting, Facebook is displaying the link on top of the image. I don't want to display the link on top of the image. How can I do this?
This is known as app attribution. If your app is listed in the App Center (https://www.facebook.com/games/) the attribution will be visible. You can configure this in the App Details tab, under "App Center Listed Platforms".
If this doesn't solve your issues; can you provide your app ID, please?

I have a simple Facebook App that I use to allow users of my website to login with Facebook. Recently I added a basic custom story via the open graph API, e.g.
Nick plays a mixtape via anexample.com
The custom story appears in my stream as expected, however when I click the anexample.com link on the story I get the following error and cannot access the actual Facebook App page:
Sorry, the details for anexample.com cannot be displayed because the app is
misconfigured.
What is strange, is that the application redirects at
https://www.facebook.com/games/?app_id=AN_APPLICATION_ID
despite the fact that the app is not registered as a game.
Has anyone else faced this behaviour?
Thanks,
On tapping on the App link, you could navigate it in one of the two possible ways
Any FB page: Add the page in Advanced settings of your App.
A website: Add a web platform
I'm basically trying to put all the functionality of this website: http://greenthumbweather.com/
into Facebook via the "website" platform.
I've started the app process in facebook and I entered the URL as website platform (attached image).
However, when I go to preview the "app", I just get a link to my website in the top right (attached image).
Do I have to recreate the entire functionality of the website within Facebook? Or can I just port the functionality into a Facebook app? I really would like users to be able to visit the website within Facebook, where it would grab their location information and customize my website based on their latitude/longitude.
Thanks for any help!
You can just port your website to facebook app but i think that depend on your desired output. Your website can also be ported to a canvas app.
I have created a Facebook page tab app that requires authorisation. When the authorisation popup is displayed there is no image.
Here's a screen shot:
I've given the app a page tab image, so where does the oauth window get its image from? I can't find anywhere to upload it.
Facebook Application OAuth Images are specified on Facebook Developers site. Direct link
choose your application from left sidebar
click Change Settings
Hover over the icon and choose Modify
Upload chosen pictures
When a user opens a link in their Facebook iPhone app to our page, how do you get the Smart App Banner to show at the top of the page? It doesn't show I'm assuming because the Apple Dev site says Smart App Banners don't show up in frames. Is there a way around this? Do I have to build my own custom banner?
This is also an issue in Twitter. Our app shares links to FB and Twitter back to our site. I'm trying to figure out how to make the Smart App Banner to show up whether viewing in iPhone Safari, Facebook, or Twitter.
Smart App Banners require a meta tag in the header of the page. They cannot be used in frames. So without access to the source code of Facebook and Twitter, this isn't possible.

Yes, you will have to build your own smart banner or use someones work. I had the same problem and would like the visitors to our website to find our app using a "smart banner".
I have adapted this great script: https://github.com/ijason
Had to make a few changes to link to the app in App Store instead of the artist e.g. changed the code artistViewUrl to trackViewUrl = json.results[0].trackViewUrl to link directly to the app instead of the developer in my case.
It's implemented here and has been tested it in Messenger, Twitter and the native Facebook app. The usual smart banner is shown in Safari. The other will appear in other browsers and when using frames.

So far it has given the result I was aiming for even though Facebook steals the best spot in the Messenger app. Hope it helps.
I am developing facebook application.I want to add iframe to my facebook page.I don't have any idea ,how to do it.I know we can not create a page using graph api or any api in facebook.
All the information you need is here - found by a quick google search:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fbml/iframe/
You'll need your own hosting server which have HTTPS, and create your page with the language that they support and place the link points directly to the folder to facebook app setting. make sure your width does not go beyonds 520px for facebook custom tab page. if apps u can go up to 760px.
Hope that helps
