copy pasted the exact code from https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/getting-started/ , changed the appid. Yesterday it used to work..now..not so much.any idea?
Check the settings for your Open Graph action.
Go to the Open Graph Dashboard for your app on Facebook Developers.
Click on the Read action.
Click the Advanced link.
Make sure that Allow Multiple is selected for the setting called Unique action.

When I try to share same content twice I get following Error
User is already associated to the object type, website, on a unique action type Like. Original Action ID: 1394xxxxxx....
Can someone please help me with this?
I already referred this link -
Error: (#3501) User is already associated to the object type, article, on a unique action type Like. Original Action ID: 10202808015141547
but did not find the steps mentioned there(settings of Open Graph action)
Can you please post the code you are using when sharing the content?
Form what I understand from this, it's all correct:
You are "sharing" an action twice, as you mention,
The "sharing" is probably actually a Like,
Objects can only be Liked once by an User,
The error message also refers to the Like as an unique action type,
To fix this, you have to either:
Check your code that you are actually sharing something, and not liking,
Even with sharing, FB will check if you did not recently shared it. If you do so, it might be spamming or an error on your side,
If you want an other Open Graph action then Liking, create them and make them non-unqiue.
The above is all derived from the context. If this sound incorrect to you, please post the exact code you use for sharing.
I have submitted a custom open graph story, but it's being rejected with this message:
Open Graph
Donate (Action Type)
Submissions, actions, objects and usage instructions must be submitted in English. You can translate actions and objects in the Localize tab of the App Dashboard.
If i click on the localize tab, I find that all strings are translated. Everything else in the app was previously accepted, so there should be no issues elsewhere (and the "Open Graph" tab is the only one that shows a warning icon).
Where can I find exactly which is the problem with my submission?
I found out. Every time you change some text in your custom stories, you need to delete and reimport all the translation strings from the "Locale > Translate open graph stories" menu. After reimporting I found some untralsated strings.
This morning I found out that Facebook is not returning the fb_ref parameter when you add it to links in actions or likes. Instead they seem to have replaced it with a series of new parameters: action_ref_map, action_object_map, ...
Could someone confirm me this change? This is breaking our software.
EDIT
This is an example that I've found:

EDIT 2
It seems that Facebook has activated a new system for returning "fb_ref" in sandboxed FB apps.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/fb_source/ is (and should be) the primary source of referral information and open graph actions have always had their own referral parameters showing which actions were present in the story/aggregation which triggered the click
fb_ref is provided when you had a 'ref' parameter on the source publish but as far as i know there hasn't been a change there
(e.g. like button with ref = foo results in a click back to your app with fb_ref=foo, fb_source=ticker or something like that)
I have a music app that I developed using HTML5's canvas. As different songs are selected, I have jquery that dynamically updates the URL in the browser to point to the correct song. I also have jquery that updates fb:like element. By using the debugging tool, I'm able to cache the pages (since my server is able to return correct meta-data for each URL provided).
When I do this and like something on my website, I end up with a message saying "Sami liked a page." with some info underneath.
Next, I use the Open Graph curl commands to add a Recommend action (something I've created) to a given URL from my website. Now, when I like the same url, I end up with a message saying "Sami recommends this link" with some info underneath.
What I'd really like to do is have this message display "Sami recommends a song on website", which is what the message looks like when I look at the preview for my Song object in the Open Graph. Is there any way to do this?
Best,Sami
EDIT: probably good to note that I'm also getting some extra meta info from the website (such as og:site_name), but that this stuff is not being saved into the Actions portion of my Open Graph (as in I can't view that info using the Open Graph link to view my current Recommendations), though I can see it using the debugger tool.
The facebook like button "triggers" the most generic action which is the like, you can how ever change the like button to use "recommend" instead of "like".
In the documentation for the like button, in the attributes table you can see the "action" attribute which is:
the verb to display on the button. Options: 'like', 'recommend'
Also when you "Get Like Button Code" thing you can select Verb to display.
If you want to use your own actions you'll need to define them in the app settings page as explained in the Define Actions guide.
As I submit an application for "read" action on Open Graph I received the following response.
Status: Changes needed
Unfortunately, your article.read built-in submission does not meet the read requirements specified at: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/actions/builtin/#read. You must give users the ability to turn sharing off/on globally as well as remove an article that was shared within the app. In addition, read actions should only be generated when there is a strong indication that the user is actually reading the article. Please note that we cannot accept resubmission as this time due to technical limitations, so you will need to create a new submission. We plan to have this resolved within the next couple of weeks. We suggest making the required changes and checking back. We appreciate your patience. Note: If you are creating an aggregation based on the object, you need to add 6-7 unique sample objects, and then create a corresponding sample action acting on each of these unique objects. (You can not just create 6-7 sample actions pointing to the same sample object). Submission Checklist: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/checklist
Please make changes below and resubmit for review.
Unfortunately, this "guide" is not helping with anything. Firstly, I have no idea where to do this:
You must give users the ability to turn sharing off/on globally as well as remove an article that was shared within the app.
Second of all, I don't even know how to "resubmit"!
Any help would be appreciated.
I was experiencing the same thing. You have to click on the name of your action that you submitted. Once you do that, Facebook provides detailed instructions why they didn't approve the action and what you need to do before you resubmit. Once you review the message, you can make the necessary changes and save the action again. Then you'll have the option to resubmit. In my case Facebook said that I need to provide more detailed instructions what the user needs to do to get an action published. They provided this example: "User must create an account, enable Timeline sharing in the settings, view a product within the app and then click the “want” button underneath the product image to trigger a story". I did that and resubmitted. Hopefully it works this time around. Good luck.
To resubmit, just delete the rejected action and create a new one. You can use the same action name as before. You then go through the submission process again as you did the first time.
Facebook have recently updated their guide to implementing their built-in action types. For the Read action type, see https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/actions/builtin/#read. You will see a sample application that meets the following criteria required for the use of this action type:
Turn sharing on/off globally on each page an article appears.
Remove articles they shared within your app on each page an article appears.
Only generate read actions when you're sure someone is interested in reading the article.
Built-In actions can't be resubmitted. It is a FB Bug:
https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/364663400220101?browse=search_4f44876aabaef7501649601
From this answer on FB tools and support I got this:
You can start a new submission at the bottom of the "Items in Review" page:
https://developers.facebook.com/apps/337449599791917/review-status/items-in-review/
That link didn't work for me.. so I just went to the app dashboard and clicked on status and review
clicking on the start a new submission button loaded a dialog that prompted me to select which items to "re-review".. so I only selected the problematic one:
after that it loads a form for you to resubmit, so here you gotta re-upload the iOS simulator build etc..
and that's it!
