When Browsing carousel is clicked it will open the browser. How can I return to my Action?

I have a Browsing carousel in my Action that opens a new page. From that page, I want to give the user an option to either continue on the website or to close the website and go back to the Action.
If they select the option to go back - how can I send them back to the Action?
You can't "go back" to the Action in the same way as if you clicked on a back button in the browser.
However, you can create a link on the page that you're showing the user that will re-start the Action or re-start it with a particular "deep linked" Intent. If you maintain the state of the user when they leave your Action, you can restore that state when they return, but that is up to you to manage.
To create a link to start the Action go to your Action console, select the "Actions" navigation on the left, and then the right arrow for the Intent that you want to be able to link to.
Towards the bottom of the screen that comes up, you may need to click on the "Links" header to expand that section, and then turn the switch on for "Would you like to enable a URL for this Action?"
The section will expand to prompt you for a Link Title (which is required, but not really used for anything) and will show you an HTML code snippet with the link. You are allowed to change this link however you want, but you must use a link - you can't do something clever like try to redirect to that page.

What is the difference between disable a page and hide the page in the meu into Typo3 CMS?

I am pretty new in Typo3 world (I came from Joomla and WordPress) and I have a doubt related to well understand what is the difference between disable a page and hide the page in the menu in Typo3.
I have create a new test page and I don't want that now it appears in my left main menu.
So I click on the Access tab of this page settings and I tick the Hide (In Menus) "checkbox" so the page exist (I can access and see it using its URL) but don't appear in my main menu.
This is pretty simple but, near to the previous options, I also find the Disable (Page) checkbox. So I have try to tick this checkbox (instead of Hide (In Menus)) and happens something that I did not expect:
My test page appear again in my left main menu (I have no hide it but if I thought that if I disable a page, it is as if this page does not exist, evidently the typo3 operating logic is different from what I expect)
If, in my left main menu, I click on my test page link: the page is open but on the right top corner on the page appear to me the following textual message PREVIEW!
What it mean? I am logged as administrator, maybe the normal visitor can't see the disabled pages whereas administrator\editor see these pages? Or what?
Tnx
Andrea
Disable page = Nobody can see the page. The page is removed from the menu and it can't be accessed with the URL. You see it because you're logged into the backend. That is also why you see the red sticker 'Preview', because it is a preview.
Hide in menu = Page is hidden from the menu and the sitemap, however, it can be accessed with the URL.
Check the following documentation:
http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/GettingStartedTutorial/
There is a very short mapping between TYPO3 and Joomla:
TYPO3 "disable" = Joomla "Unpublish Article"
TYPO3 "hide" = Joomla "Unpublish Menu Item"

Wrong content in popup window after "Like it"

I added the like facebook button on my website, it works well except that the popup window doesn't show me the correct content.
Simple sample:
In the homepage of my website I set the title tag to its name, suppose it is called "the universe".
Then I go to another page that has a title like "the sun is hot". If I click "like it" on this page the popup content shows me "the universe". This is wrong, I want "the sun is hot".
How to set the correct content on the popup window? Does the button "like it" take the title tag or what else?
Thank you
Does the like button refer to the url of the homepage and not the page you are actually on? The way the like buttons work now is they pull the meta Open Graph tags from the url in the like button, so the meta tags on the page called by the button dictates the content.
If you make it the url the current page with the correct meta, that should fix it.
Run the page your like button is pointing at through Facebook's Debug Tool
This will show you the metadata Facebook is detecting for that URL, and/or clear the cache if you've updated the meta tags on your site recently

Application icon does not appearing on the search result page

I created application and uploaded icon for it but the icon does not appear on search result page:
http://www.facebook.com/search/results.php?q=Gammafish%20Poker&type=apps
What should I do for it?
The image that is displayed in that search results page is not the icon.
In the apps settings page, where you can change the icon, there's also the "profile pic" (or what ever they call it), hover the mouse over it, you'll see that the text "edit" is then showing on the image, click it and upload the image you want to be displayed as the app "profile pic", then you should see it in those search results.
Edit
I checked a bit more, I was wrong, the image in the search results is not the "app profile pic", that is being displayed (for example) if you hover the text link.
I'm not 100%, but it looks like that pic in the search results is taken from the app page, for us it uses an old profile picture of the app page.
You can set up the "App Page" in the app settings, the "Advanced" tab, the last item.

Facebook: Added custom app to page but it doesnt show up as a custom tab

I've added my app to my page but it doesnt show up as a tab. Why?
See attached image FBapp.png which shows all settings. When I click 'Edit Settings' for the TicketWise app I get notification: "There are no settings for this application."
Here's my Facebook application: https://apps.facebook.com/ticketwise/?fb_page_id=208837722506615
(never mind the scrollbars for now)
When you view your page, underneath the image/logo area there is a list of tabs. Depending on how many tabs you have, at the bottom there will either be a link for "EDIT" or "MORE". If "MORE", click to see the full list of tabs and the EDIT link. When you click "EDIT" you will be able to drag and drop the tabs to reorder them and place your application near the top where it will be visible by default.
For your other query:
When I click 'Edit Settings' for the TicketWise app I get notification: "There are no settings for this application."
Settings pages are something you have to create separately if your app requires it. They are a page hosted on your server, that defines parameters to be used on the tab page view of the app. You can define the page in your application settings using the "Page Tab Edit URL" field.
