I have a facebook page in which I have implemented a tab. Whenever people that aren't me try to share something from the tab, they get the following message: "The message could not be posted to this Wall."
From googling around, I couldn't find any hint why this was happening...
EDIT:
The url I was trying to share had "www.facebook.com" in it. If I change "facebook" to anything else, it allows me to share...

I'm pretty new to web development, so I started by created a blog in rails here,
blog website.
I was playing around with open graph meta tags, so I was liking and unliking, repeatedly. It seems that I'm blacklisted now, which I'm okay with. Unfortunately, after confirming a like, I'm unable to post a message to facebook. I just press the "Post to Facebook" button and nothing happens.
I'm inclined to think this behavior is a bug or intentional, but perhaps I'm missing something?
Thanks.
you should type something in as a message, and it works... check it out, u'll see that this will not be posted on your wall as a "Share" post, but in fact as a "Like" action of a page.
This is my first thread so be easy on me :) . For all problems i had i found a solution here at stackoverflow, but this one i can' figure out.
So, I wanted to make like button at my website (not facebook page, but actual website) , so when an user likes some URL, it appears in his timeline (website is with articles, so every article has its URL) . Mosh important, i wanted that the like would be in form " 'someone' liked 'something' ON 'SOME_PAGE'" . This "on some page" is the wanted part actually. After some research i found out that i need open graph protocol and facebook app to make that happen. So i followed this tutorial http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ .
Right now, when i like something on my webiste, it appears in my timeline like it should, in form :" name surname liked "something" on "some_facebook_app/webpage" , so its all ok if I make the like, but when someone else likes if (person that is not admin for this app) , it appears as regular link, actually it gets rendered with open graph protocol as in , it shows title, description and picture, but it doesnt connect to my facebook app, there is no "on facebookapp" part. Also, when i come from my friends facebook account to my timeline, likes i made on this particular website are not visible. I dont know is that the problem because i cant find anywhere anything about this (i subscribed app details, i dont know if that is the problem...) . Also, only my face show up in likes, even when i know for sure that my friends liked that particular link too, but I assume that this is problem that is associated with the previous one (because like is not "connected" to facebook app) .
I'm new in this facebook developer stuff, and this facebook app is a big black hole for me...
I found out what it was. I didnt know what sandbox mode meant, so after disabling it, app is now visible to everyone. Nobody actually helped me here, but thanks anyway :) .
I'm using the iFrame Like button on a page. When I click it, it goes to my wall saying I liked a link. This is good. However, when other people try it, it doesn't show up on their wall. Does the timeline layout affect this? I'm not using that layout, but my testers that aren't able to get the like to show on their wall are.
I've found similar problems on here, but nothing that's helped. I have OG meta tags included on the page that aren't being read correctly either.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Maybe some hints:
Have you checked the permissions for the FB-application?
Does it only work with users that are registered as developers/testers for the FB-application?
I am trying to implement facebook like box for my facebook page on my own site. I copied the code from http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/ (HTML5 or any other) and pasted on my site. Box appears with all the correct information bu when I click on like, I get an error message saying
"The page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/xxxxx/111111 could not be reached."
I've been trying to find a solution for this for hours but couldn't find anything. It's nothing to do with the privileges etc.
I also ran it through Object Debugger and it didn't come up with any problem.
Does anyone has any solution for this? I created the page today, does facebook needs time to parse/index my page before like box works?
Thanks in advance
Are there any demographic restrictions on your page that would prevent it being seen by somebody logged out of Facebook? Is it the published? Those are the two most common reasons for that error that I've seen
Ok, all of a sudden it started working. Haven't changed anything in the code. So I guess Like Box won't work if you install it on the same day you create the FB Page.
My homepage at http://www.kccurling.com no longer shows the likes. Though the other pages I set the ability to like is uneffected and does show their respective likes.
When I click the like button. rather than showing my facebook avatar I get a red "error". Clicking on the "red error", I get the following message
"There was an error liking the page. If you are the page owner, please try running your page through the linter on the Facebook devsite (https://developers.facebook.com/tools/lint/) and fixing any errors."
I then go the link provided. Type in the url and can see the number of likes for that page. by clicking the link at the bottom of the page. I click on debug. but that appears to do nothing. I am not savey enough to understand or see why the likes are still no longer showing on this page only.
This happen about the time I set up a facebook fan page but I am not sure if the two are linked.
Any directions would be appreciated.
Its most likely a temporary error.
Its worth making sure your Open Graph tags are present and working as per the linter.
You may need to wait an hour before linting again.
If its still borked in a couple of hours then there is a problem.
I've seen today a strange behaviour on my site too. The like button doesn't seem to work any longer. Then I've tried to create again a new like button on https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/. And this points in two directions. First I get a new app_id (but I don't know why). And second thing was, that I've had to verify my account by SMS or credit card. After that, all was fine...
