We've been using http://www.facebook.com/dialog/friends/?id=...&app_id=...&redirect_uri=...&display=popup to let users add friends in our app.
But lately it's stopped working. I've searched the docs but couldn't find any reference to the dialog/friends anymore. Has it been deprecated/removed?
The dialog to add friends has been removed a long time ago afaik. Here´s a list of all available dialogs: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/javascript/reference/FB.ui

Earlier i was searching for groups with a particular keyword on facebook using -
https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=query&type=group&access_token=abcd..
Since last month it has stopped working. This search now returns always for any
keyword an empty data array. While for types page,user,event,post still returns
proper results. This happened by the time versioning was introduced. I tested
also with the Graph API Explorer with different versions and none worked.
You can check it from here: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/
There's an open bug at FB for this. See my answer here: Search for Groups in Facebook with FacePy not working I don't think that there's anything you can do at the moment except wait and hope FB will fix this soon.
As Tobi mentioned there is a bug for this on Facebook.
If you face the same issue subscribe here:
https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/862756217087760/
The more developers subscribe, the soonest we'll have
a fix i guess.
I have an AIR app where the user could post on his/her FB wall by using the following link style:
http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?s=100&p[url]=http://www.someurl.com&p[images][0]=http://image.jpg&p[title]=Title&p[summary]=Summary%20Text
It was working some time ago, however it seems to have stopped working now.
I URL encode the whole query string (maybe that's the problem?), and I've tested the resulting link works outside of AIR. I also have a link for Twitter, with another query string and it works with no problems. I've seen some other people having similar problems as well, but the solutions I've seen like using javascript:window.location haven't worked. Also tried to load a custom HTML through loadString() and afterwards redirect to the desired page, with no success either.
What do you suggest? Right now I'm using navigateToUrl, but would like to avoid it.
I'm not exactly sure why this is not working for you, but I'm sorry to inform you that the facebook share button has been deprecated and is no longer supported.
You can read about it in the documentation for the Facebook Share:
The Share button has been deprecated in favor of the Like button, and
will no longer be supported. Please use the Like button whenever
possible to drive maximum traffic to your apps.
And in the documentation for the Like Button:
What happened to the old Share button?
We deprecated the Share Button when we launched the Like button,
because the Like button improves clickthrough rates by allowing users
to connect with one click, and by allowing them to see which of their
friends have already connected
Since it's not supported anymore I'd accept the behavior of it to be unpredictable and maybe it's the reason why it stopped working for you.
I'm not a flash developer and don't have any solution for that, but you should stop using the deprecated method.
Edit
My point is that since you are using a deprecated functionality, even if you manage to fix the current problem, you'll face others later on, so what's the point in spending time on finding/fixing the problem?
As for using like button in AIR, a simple google search for "adobe air facebook like" has resulted in this: Creating a Facebook Like Button in Flash Professional for Adobe AIR.
Also, when posting/sharing something through facebook, their system scraps the url (unless they have a cached version) and so the image, title, description, etc can also come from the Open Graph tags in that page.
I am trying to implement facebook like box for my facebook page on my own site. I copied the code from http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/ (HTML5 or any other) and pasted on my site. Box appears with all the correct information bu when I click on like, I get an error message saying
"The page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/xxxxx/111111 could not be reached."
I've been trying to find a solution for this for hours but couldn't find anything. It's nothing to do with the privileges etc.
I also ran it through Object Debugger and it didn't come up with any problem.
Does anyone has any solution for this? I created the page today, does facebook needs time to parse/index my page before like box works?
Thanks in advance
Are there any demographic restrictions on your page that would prevent it being seen by somebody logged out of Facebook? Is it the published? Those are the two most common reasons for that error that I've seen
Ok, all of a sudden it started working. Haven't changed anything in the code. So I guess Like Box won't work if you install it on the same day you create the FB Page.
Firstly i know that the documentation provided by Facebook says that fb:multi-friend-selector can be used in pair with fb:request-form and that it could only sends inviations or requests.
I have more specific need and that is not only to make invitations/requests but also along with the previous to post something on selected friends walls.
I've tried everything but i cant take the id's selected from the fb:multi-friend-selector, so i'm unable to make this posts.
The doucmentation for fb:multi-friend-selector says: This interface includes a series of which are included for selected users in the form that gets submitted to your action URL.
Is it somehow possible to catch this id's?
I'm working on my app in C# .net.
I read in some of the previous posts that is treating problematics similar to mine that is impossible to do this, but i found application that works perfectly in way that i want to make my application.
Thanks in advance,
Ivan
You can access the selected friend's id in the page that you are providing in "action" of fb:request-form.I am working with PHP so i am able to get those selected friend's id as $_REQUEST['ids'].So try some equivalent methods in c# for this.And if you get the friend's id you can publish to their wall.

As for the first matter, things like to go in and out with the facebook API. It may even be a result of the devs trying to fix the issue with your second point. If it does not fix soon, fill out a bug report or search the forums
as for the second this is a known bug:
http://bugs.developers.facebook.net/show_bug.cgi?id=11254
http://bugs.developers.facebook.net/show_bug.cgi?id=10607
I suggest adding your email to the bug reports to keep track of facebook's progress with fixing them. Facebook says "it is being actively worked on." whick means it could be a while.
