When I upload an album of photos on my Page, and then people tag themselves, the pictures won't appear on their timelines or photos tab in their profile. Why is that?

one question.
I've a facebook page that represents a product.
I've added some tabs in the page, beside About, Likes, Photos, Videos, Notes... to explain better my product functionalities.
I would like to have a tab with a photo uploader, to let any user who liked my page to add photos to a specific Photo Album in my Photos section.
I was using the application Static HTML Plus to add static HTML into my tab. But for the tab that upload photos, this application is not what i need. Is there a way to make a tab refer to another script, that could be easily reached throuhg an URL in my server. Or are there any outher solutions?
Thanks in advance
Users can only post photos to the page feed, but not in albums. You need a page token to do this.
Create a long living token with the needed permissions and let your app upload the photo. You can link the user in the photo-message by using his id.
When you share a photo from a Facebook album it gets diplayed "full width" layout in the timeline (about 567px wide) with a caption below.
I also noticed that shared images from pinterest get shown im a format with an image and caption underneath.
But when I share a photo from elsewhere using the "picture" property of the feed dialog, or a page containing an og:image tag, it always gets displayed in thumbnail (116x116)|text layout.
The images from pinterest are posted as actions, so that may be a clue.
Feed dialog will not get you this customization you will need to use Open Graph actions.

Also for full width photos from applications, the user must have generated the photo from the app so that you can utilize "User Generated Photos"
For example the following is from the Tumblr application

I made a small facebook application for upload a image to facebook fan page timeline.
I'm sending a image via /page_id/feed url and no problem, image has been showing on my fan page timeline. But image size too small.
I want upload a photo to my fan page timeline with a diffent way using /page_id/photos url and this method working. But at this time, image post has been showing on "Recent Posts by Others on MyFacebookFanPage" and not showing on my fan page timeline. And I, cannot share this image on my fan page.
I'm using this facebook perms : publish_stream, manage_pages, photo_upload
How can I post a image to the my fan page timeline without
Thank you,

Is there a way to post a photo to an album, but do it in a way that it is hidden from the Timeline.
I am able to post Photos using the Graph API to the album and then manually go and hide a newsfeed post resulting from the timeline for the Wall.
Is it possible to do this at the time of posting the Photo itself. Is there a field/attribute that I can set which will prevent the Photo Post from showing on the Timeline ?
Thanks!
Yes, add no_story:1 to your POST data, images will be uploaded but not shown in timeline.

I have an Android app from which I'd like to post photos directly to the timeline of a Facebook Page. I don't want the photos to go into an album, but rather directly onto the timeline.
Has anyone done this before?
I saw the answer at http://facebook.stackoverflow.com/questions/8662460/android-app-how-to-upload-photo-from-sdcard-to-facebook-wall that describes posting the photo to a Wall Photos album; however, when I try get the list of albums for the Page, I don't get any albums back. This page does have least one timeline post with a picture, so I would expect it to have a Wall Photos album, but I don't get it back. Do the albums work differently for Pages as opposed to a regular Facebook user, or would the Page need to grant the app some permissions? Here is the code I'm using to get the Page's albums:
String wallAlbumID = null;
String response = getFacebook().request("<pageid>/albums");
JSONObject json = new JSONObject(response);
JSONArray albums = json.getJSONArray("data");
for (int i =0; i < albums.length(); i++) {
JSONObject album = albums.getJSONObject(i);
if (album.getString("type").equalsIgnoreCase("wall")) {
wallAlbumID = album.getString("id");
Log.d("JSON", wallAlbumID);
break;
}
}
Does anyone know of a way to post a photo directly to a Page's timeline from an Android app? I can upload the photo to the user's album, then create a link to the photo on the Page's timeline, but that doesn't actually put the photo on the Page's timeline. I'd like to get the photo right on the timeline, like what happens from the Facebook web interface when you click "Upload Photo".
An photo posted to Facebook will always fall into an album. If you don't specify an album ID from the user's list of albums, uploading images will automatically get uploaded to the "Wall Photos" album instead.
Use the publish_stream method to post a photo to the timeline, and it will show up on the timeline and in the Wall Photos album. Or use the feed dialog with just a picture: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/feed/
