I have the idea to create a Facebook like button that allows user to post blog entries from my website on their pinboard or (and this is the tricky part) on one of their Facebook groups that their belongs to.
So my first question is, is this possible at all?
The Idea is that a user can login on my page with facebook login and then when he founds something to share, he could decide to share it on is pinboard or a group that he belongs to.
I couldn't find something helpful on google, so I thought perhaps here in stackoverflow someone has some experience about the creation of such a function.
I'm very thankful for your help and answers
A "Like Button" is only there to "Like" something, as the name says. If you want to be able to share something in a group, use the sharer.php: https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffacebook.com%2F
You can just open this with JavaScript (window.open) when you click on any button/div/whatever and select "In a group" instead of "On your own Timeline". Since the user has to select a group or his wall anyway, this is the very best option. You don´t even need to authorize the user for that.

I'm trying to created an option where visitors of my website, can share items in their Facebook groups. I know this is possible via the share dialog, but the option to post it on their own wall is standard selected. I don't like that.
Is there a way, that only the option to post it in a group is available? Or standard selected? Or is there another trick to accomplish this? So visitor can easily share items in the facebook groups?
Thanks for the advices.
It is not possible, you can only fire up those Dialogs but it´s completely up to the user to select a target, that´s how it is and should be.
You can see all parameters here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/reference/share-dialog
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.
First of all I must apologise that this question is not actually coding related. I am having a bit of a 'tish' with my partner as she wants to be able to post to open Facebook groups without the activity appearing in her timeline and her friend's seeing it. I'm saying it cannot be done and to make a new profile and deal with it. She just gets angrier and as I am an IT guy I am supposed to have a solution for everything.
Can someone help me settle this stoush? If you can actually accomplish hiding activity on a timeline that is coming from posting into an open group that would be awesome too! Because I've searched Google and it looks quite unlikely.
Also those of you that object to my posting, please let me know of a more appropriate place and I'll gladly put it up there instead.
Cheers
Whenever you post anything anywhere (except a status), its not "posted on timeline". Rather, facebook "share that story on the wall".
Now, privacy of that post is limited to the group only. So , no one except the group members can see that post. That story (whatever it is) is shared on the wall of the group members only. So your friends cannot see that story! I'm not sure how you said- activity appearing in her timeline and her friend's seeing it – as far as I know, it's not possible.
Also, you can always see the privacy setting of a post while posting itself. For eg:
Posting on own timeline-
Posting on an open group timeline-
See the privacy setting in yellow mark. For a group, it's not editable and limited to a group only!
so, for an open group if a user search for the group and wants to see the activity, then only he can see who's posting what. And that thing can be controlled only if the group is secret. ref
I plan to start a Facebook contest where the user is first asked to like the page, then they submit their email to enter the contest.
I checked out other contest examples on:
http://contests.about.com/od/facebookcontests/tp/Facebook-Contests-and-Facebook-Sweepstakes.htm
Most Facebook pages direct a user to a "Like this page to continue" page. I tried to google around to find how this is done, but I cannot find anything. I tried to find ways to track specific user's likes,
For contest-specific legal reasons, I cannot use an app that makes the contest and keeps track of the entries. So I will need to create this from scratch.
I have made other apps before, and I do have access to an external server where I plan to create a page and link to it from facebook for the 'frame' type app.
Is there a standard way of doing this? Is there a documentation that I have yet to find?
Thanks
(Me answering my own question)
Some more googling I was able to find:
How to check if current facebook user like a page using PHP SDK?
A php version of the same question.
In that case, I will be able to check out FQL's documentation to find out how to get this information.
I really don't want a permission popup from facebook to pop up, and I don't think I will need that to make this work. I will try that and add a comment to this answer if it works just like what I'm looking for.
I've done my searching for the answer to this but it remains unclear. This could be a simple "possible" or "not possible" answer.
I have a site I'm creating that uses Facebook Connect (may or may not be relevant). I would like users to be able to create Facebook events based on events posted on this site. I'm familiar with the Facebook API and realize I could make my own form that would allows users to create a Facebook event... but I don't really think I want to do that work.
Is there a way I can point a user to Facebook's "create event" form but simply pre-populate some of the fields to help them along?
For example, say I wrote post about a free concert and had a button that said "make this an event on Facebook!". I would like that to link back to the fB event form with a title "Reggae Night 2010" and then from there the user could go on and create the event as they normally would. I don't see the point in doing my own form, validation, etc.
Thanks!
Firstly, obviously have a FB login enabled page and/or when the click your site's "click here to create event in Facebook" button, then have it check for whether the user is already logged into FB. Then use javascript to prepopulate the fields on the form on this page...
http://www.facebook.com/events/create.php
...with the info from your site's event.
That should be it!

EDIT: spankmaster79 - yes, that's what I said above.... have your code CHECK for WHETHER you're ALREADY LOGGED INTO FB first. (Please remove the -1, I'd appreciate it)
