I am trying to use the Facebook share dialog and, to do so, the Facebook JS SDK seems to need an app. So I create my app with the "website" type but the forms to get it validated ask me a lot of informations about the Facebook login (a description of the process, some screenshots,...), informations I can't give because I'm not using a Facebook login... and these fields are mandatory... you can see my problem now...
Is there a way to use the share dialog without configuring useless infos or without using an app to to so ?
You don't need to fill in App Details if you just are using the share dialog

I have a site where I need to manually specify the content (and Url since some parameters need to be added depending on which facebook share link i press) in the facebook share-dialouge. I've got it to work now as developer but do I really need to submit an app request for the "app" and thereby create an "my app page" on facebook for the "app"? (I have a business page for my business)
All I want to do is use the facebook api to share my page content. Please give me an explanation for dummies because I'm getting really tired of Facebook right now.
(No I can't use addThis)
Thanks for the help!
Not sure if you don't confuse some stuff. have a look at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/web/share to get an overview about sharing on the FB platform.
You can use the Social Plugins for your Use Case I guess:
Share Button: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/share-button/
Share Dialog: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/reference/share-dialog
I am trying to get Facebook features (like button, and login capabilities) on my website but I am having a tough time figuring out how to do it. I have a Facebook page for my website too, I do not have an app, but from what I've seen I'm supposed to create this App profile through Facebook in order to access all of these features. I am simply confused. I have a website, I have a Facebook page for that website, now I want to link the two. Again, I do not have an app for the site, yet, as it is in its early development stages. Please help me figure out what I must do to link my website to Facebook capabilities
Just "create an application" for the website. I think what you are most confused about is actually building an app.
"Create an application" provides a reference for your application to reside. All Facebook plugins currently must be processed through the JS SDK which needs an application (reference) to make requests. You will see the benefits of doing this when using facebook.com/insights
Also your Facebook fan page has nothing to do with your website, think of it separately, it will cause less confusion. There is no way to link them.
Summary: Just click the "Create app" button, set the domain to your website domain and supply the application id to the JS SDK.
Have you checked out their site? https://developers.facebook.com/
All you need to do after registering with Facebook as a developer, you should have a control panel. After that you should have a dev key, so when you make an API call to Facebook that you can authentic yourself as a registered developer. You do need to enter the javascript file in the head section so that when you call the Facebook API your Javascript code knows to reference the calls.
I'm using the Facebook Feed Dialog to promote simple sharing on my website.
There is an option for the "picture" in the post (URL).
Is there a way i can use the existing logo in my Facebook application as the image?
For example is there a way i can programatically create a URL to my Facebook application logo? (using the application ID).
You can do this with https://graph.facebook.com/APP_ID
And then fetch the logo_url.
Edit: Just wanted to add that obviously apps in sandbox mode require access token to recognize you as admin/tester.
You can't use that logo in your feed dialog, since its saved in the facebook server. (facebook don't allow that)
The straight-forward solution is - use the image from your server.
when I try to create the "like" app for my website,it says that it cannot find the page.
I even copied and pasted my name to it. I want to be able to post from it and it will show up on my website. http:/facebook.com/thevisalusbody is what I am trying to get an app for
You can't create like buttons for user pages. You would have to convert your user profile to a fan page using Facebook's tool.
I am developing an FB app which is going to use the Javascript SDK only, not the PHP library or any server side code. When I try to ask permissions from users for the first login to my application the permissions dialogue JS SDK shows is the pop-up one, used for FB Connect, but I want it to redirect the first time user to the normal application permissions page, and I want to do it using the JS SDK. Can someone please help me with this.
FYI : This is an application on apps.facebook.com
Not entirely sure you can do this, but you could try to use the OAuth dialog (see http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/oauth/) and use the display option set to page.
Let me know if that works.
