xxx shared a link via Widget Share Log App - facebook

I've created a Facebook App and am using the FB developer tools to share content on a site.
However, when a link is shared it is titled "xxx shared a link via Widget Share Log App". I've seen other sites change this to read something like "xxx shared a link via Irrawaddynews" and I wondered if it was possible to do the same here.
BTW, I'm initiating the Facebook SDK with the code below (as per the instructions here: "shared a link via Widget Share Log App." - but this didn't solve my problem).
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : '{MY_APP_ID}',
status : true,
xfbml : true
});
};
(function(d, s, id){
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));

In your App ID settings on Facebook, there are a few fields you have to update. We wrote pretty detailed setup instructions for doing this in conjunction with our own share software, but there's a general section beneath that for setting up the Facebook app:
https://naytev.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/202777178-Link-Naytev-to-Your-Facebook-App
#userfuser - you actually don't need their validation, you simply need to make the app active. The process has a pretty terrible UX, and missing fields like "support email" will cause you to not be able to activate without a helpful error message.

Facebook share script

I want to have a "facebook share" link or button on a web page. The idea is to to share a link and a brief description, identical to twiter. No image or title of page is needed
In the past, the following link worked:-
"http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=" + complete_url + message
Now, facebook ignores the message and it discards the complete url link. Instead it only displays the title of the homepage.
I found this answer on stack overflow:-
Make my own custom Facebook share button.
Having tried it (the script below) - I get the error: 'FB' is undefined
I'd be grateful if you could tell me:-
1. what am I doing wrong?
2. do we have to download the sdk.js from facebook server everytime?
The script is like this:
<html><head>
<script>
function onClick() {
FB.ui({
method: 'share',
href: 'the_complete_url_to_specific_page'
});
}
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : 'my_facebook_id',
xfbml : true,
version : 'v2.3'
});
};
(function(d, s, id){
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href='#' onclick='onClick() ;return false;'> share on FacebookR</a>
</body>
</html>
First of all: No, you do not need to change the API version. Only if you need to use something that is only available in newer versions, check out the changelog once in a while: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog
You get the "FB is undefined" error if the JavaScript is not loaded (yet). Most likely you are not trying your code on a real server (it can also be localhost) but from your file system. You can try adding "https" to the source like this, or (better) test the code on a real server:
js.src = "https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js";
The App ID is NOT your User ID, it´s an ID you get after creating an App here: https://developers.facebook.com/apps
Btw, the user can enter the message right when the Share Dialog pops up.

How to Determine the Number of Followers on Facebook php

Facebook enables you to have both friends and followers on the network. Friendship is a two-way relationship -- you can see the updates of your friends, and they can see yours (depending on the privacy settings configured for each post). If you follow someone, this is a one-way relationship: You can see the user's public updates, but that individual doesn't see yours.
i have my own id where new people add me as friend but i on follow option. so new user follow me.is there any way i can get followed number in php.
very thank for luschn helping me
well i found its solution it was very easy hence Facebook doc / FQl not supported this function but getting number of followers is very easy
just
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/follow-button
my recommendation visit above line mention code is for sample only
Your Plugin Code
Include the JavaScript SDK on your page once, ideally right after the opening tag.
(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs =
d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js
= d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.5";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script',
'facebook-jssdk'));
Place the code for your plugin wherever you want the plugin to appear on your page.
your
profile id place here(you can view this click on your profile copy
url) "
data-layout="standard" data-show-faces="true">

Facebook App Test Users - Not working with FB.UI()

I'm trying a simple Share dialogue, invoked via Javascript a website page. I can load the SDK fine:
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : '{My-App-ID}',
xfbml : true,
version : 'v2.0'
});
};
(function(d, s, id){
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
And my javascript function is taken straight from the FB Docs:
FB.ui(
{
method: 'share',
href: 'https://developers.facebook.com/docs/'
}, function(response){});
The issue is testing. I've created a Test App within my main app for this purpose. My Personal Facebook account is an administrator for this App. When logged into my personal account I can invoke the share dialogue and it works fine.
However when I create a 'Test User' from the Roles -> Test Users section on the App Dashboard and log in as them, I get the following error when trying to invoke the share dialogue:
Sorry, this feature isn't available right now: An error occurred while
processing this request. Please try again later.
Very frustrating as I want to test using a test account. Any clues as to why this isn't working? Many thanks.

Facebook like button error Message

I added a facebook like button in my page. The page is rendered by using AJAX.
Here is my code:
$(document).ready(function(){
(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
});
When I access this page via Chrome, Chrome keeps log the error message:
Blocked a frame with origin "https://www.facebook.com" from accessing a frame with origin "site url" The frame requesting access set "document.domain" to "facebook.com", but the frame being accessed did not. Both must set "document.domain" to the same.
Thanks a lot for your help.
I just found this on the facebook developer site:
"This is a warning in Chrome that has no ill side effects
Please check whether you have any extensions installed."
http://developers.facebook.com/bugs/586120791417551/
It may be that you have a content script from an extension that is generating these errors. My site is slo showing several of these errors in the console log. However, the facebook button is operating correctly. I am going to test in a chrome session with no extensions installed.
Is your facebook like button functioning correctly (other than throwing messy console errors)?

How to get an ACCESS_TOKEN from the new Add to Timeline Auth dialog

I currently have the following situation. On my website, the user can access his settings page. This page features a tab called 'Facebook'. On this page, I have the following code that lets the user allow my website to post to his timeline when completing a certain action:
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#appId={APP_ID_HERE}&xfbml=1";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
<div class="fb-add-to-timeline" data-show-faces="false" data-mode="button"></div>
When the user clicks the button, it is forwarded to the Add to Timeline dialog. When the user clicks Allow, the user gets redirected back to his settings page on my website.
The question is; how do I get an access token out of this? I need a user access token to post to his timeline, according to this line from the tutorial:
https://graph.facebook.com/me/YOUR_NAMESPACE:cook?recipe=OBJECT_URL&access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN
Just tell user to get log in
<fb:login></fb:login>
and after that, use this code everywhere you want
FB.api(
'/me/NAMESPACE:cook','post', {recipe:'http://samples.ogp.me/214706465259448'},
function(response) {
//posted
});
Where cooking is an object
