I want to create a facebook custom story like nike does, but i'm not able to figure out how they wrote html with css actions and maybe javascript in facebook (Hover over the bars change the distance runned and change the date when you do it and some other stuff)
Any ideas will be appreciate
To achieve this you have to use Facebook graph api. there is no need to create a custom story use the common stories and post the parameters and you will be able to see that effect. It comes by default[Faceboook takes care of it].

I want to share an image from a website on Facebook and pass some attributes (e.g. a description) to the status update, all done by clicking on a link.
A few months ago this worked fine using the sharer.php but by now this script just accepts a URL as parameter and scrapes the target site for Open Graph meta tags. This new approach isn't very helpfull if you just want to share elements on a page instead of the whole page.
Yeah, I could create an app and use the feed dialog to achieve my goal. But I honestly don't want to walk through the tedious app validation process just to share an image with some additional info!
So, does anyone know of a way to avoid this app hassle? Perhaps some undocumented parameters for the new implementation of the sharer.php?
There's no need for app validation - as #CBroe correctly stated! So the feed dialog IS an adequate solution!
Background: I assumed an app needs validation to go live. But I just didn't set up my app properly to make it available to every Facebook user.
See the comments to gloat over my stupidity. ;)
My friend and I are working on an app that will use Facebook's friendlist. We're trying to create a tagging system in which people can tag each other...similar to example in screenshot.
Does facebook provide this functionality out-of-box or do I have to create this sort of search/input field? I wasn't sure if I simply have to style something they provide or if I have to make it.
You can't tag people on a just like that.
You have to use Open Graph concepts- Mention Tagging
But if you want to post a photo, then you can tag the people using tag parameter.
Good luck!
I have been reading about using Open Graph (OG) meta tags to improve the way facebook works with your website. I have read two tutorials that say to create an application and use the application ID. But I am not developing an application, all I have is a business page... Can I just the page ID?
Can anybody also point out any good, simple resources around the using OG in my website?
Thanks
The sharer.php method (which is deprecated) allows you to post without an application. The feed/post method appears to require an app_id, though it's possible that there's some way around that. On the bright side, there's nothing complex about creating an application, so, if that's what you must do, I'd say just do it :)
Here is an example of how it works *with an app using the feed/post method (you'll need to click the "Post to feed" link at the top (yes I know it doesn't look like a link!).
and Here is the same exact example only using Sharer (notice that this time it's pointing at a slightly different url (drawImageForFB2.php instead of drawImageForFB4.php).
I use a php to render the tags based on the vidId that I collect but that's neither here nor there... you could just as easily have this as a static HTML page.
The innards of the OG tag are just about identical and the app_id tag in the OG is entirely optional as it pertains to the second example).
Oh, and addthis does it using the dialog api which looks like this

Hi guys I want to prompt a facebook form like this:
I want just the form itself(the selection of friends) and use it for my needs.
Is it possible to do? I tried to look for it in the documentation but I couldn't find a way.
You could use a javascript & css library that allows you to show dialogs with a similar look and feet to facebook's. Here is an example
This would only be possible if there were a Facebook Social Plugin (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/) to do this. Unfortunately there isn't.
However, as Dimitris says, you can do this yourself easily enough. Just use the Graph API to request a users friends, and generate the table of checkboxes yourself.
Is there a way to embed a Facebook page wall into a website? Without using Graph API?
I want to have the wall exactly as styled from Facebook, with all actions to Like, Comment and Share but from my website.
I'm sorry but there is no way to easy reproduce your wall on your website. You can easily get contents (but it will not reflect the facebook's wall as some content is filtered), using facebook's javascript sdk or graph api, but you won't be able to add universal like button using javascript sdk for every posts, as facebook requires to like some objects (like pages) directly with their like social plugin.
You can check a lot of facebook widgets you can easily implement on your website using Javascript SDK on the fbrell application.
Happy facebook programming!
Based on these requirements, would an iframe produce the desired effect? Maybe even a regular frame? (I haven't used those in a long time, so I don't remember if there's some restriction that would prevent loading external content with them).
When you say you want these actions "from your website" what exactly do you mean? Do you just want to wrap the Facebook content with your own (in a frame) or do you want to actually do something locally with these actions, intercepting them somehow?
You will need to use FBML. or custom code from for using Graph API, i dont think you can do it any other way. look up facebook documentaion for details.
There is no way you can embed the same wall, yet you can use paste your wall's contents on your webpage,
If you want Share, Like and comment button to perform action on your webstie then you have to create your own db and user management
But...
Share, Like and Comment buttons which will effect your original wall in facebook is not possible.
double think. I have been working on a Wall Feed for Pages for some time now, what you are looking for can be done, but you would need to use the Graph API to accomplish..
Sample Here http://shawnsspace.com/plugins/wallfeed.php Likes, Commenting is disabled.
Emulates the Wall for http://facebook.com
I used a combination of Graph API "PHP-SDK 3.1.1", "Javascript SDK". This can be done with pure client side Javascript though.
