I'm trying to add my Facebook app (iframe integration) to a Facebook business page. But can't figure out the rifht way to do it, because Business accounts can use apps. Looked through all Facebook Docs&Help and found nothing. (
Will be grateful for any clue.
Thanks
You just need to configure the Pages Tab options (last one on the Apps Basic Settings page). Check out https://developers.facebook.com/docs/appsonfacebook/pagetabs/ for instructions. Let me know if that was what you're looking for :)

I have a site where I need to manually specify the content (and Url since some parameters need to be added depending on which facebook share link i press) in the facebook share-dialouge. I've got it to work now as developer but do I really need to submit an app request for the "app" and thereby create an "my app page" on facebook for the "app"? (I have a business page for my business)
All I want to do is use the facebook api to share my page content. Please give me an explanation for dummies because I'm getting really tired of Facebook right now.
(No I can't use addThis)
Thanks for the help!
Not sure if you don't confuse some stuff. have a look at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/web/share to get an overview about sharing on the FB platform.
You can use the Social Plugins for your Use Case I guess:
Share Button: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/share-button/
Share Dialog: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/reference/share-dialog
I want to include on my web site a 'Find us on Facebook' graphic and link it to a facebook 'business' page - nothing more sophisticated than that. Do I simply copy the graphic from another random web site and put in my link, or is there a better 'facebook approved' way of doing this? (I've tried it the non-facebook way already and its necessary for users who click the link to log in to facebook. Can anyone also advise of the privacy settings that will avoid this)? Thanks
Have you considerd making use of the Like Box social plugin? See http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/
The plugin mentioned by nav is definitely the way to go. By using the facebook plugin, users won't have to login (granted they're already logged in to Facebook). This is because the plugin can access the cookie set by Facebook whenever they logged in. Your ad-hoc link cannot do this.
Check out https://www.facebook.com/badges/page.php This is what you're looking for.
You are correct in the fact that you can use a simple image and a link to the page.
However the answer provided by NAV would be the most 'facebook approved' way.
I am trying to upload samples of facebook fanpages on my page. I used to work with Static FBML in the past but the pages I want to upload have javascript etc so I think that they will have to be uploaded somewhere else. I am out of ideas where do professional fanpage developers upload their fanpages. I will be very thankful if you can guide me. Thanks
if you're talking about pages that you can add to a fan page it used to be fbml no they use iframes the source goes in any domain of your choice, so if you have hosting somewhere just upload your page there and copy/paste url when creating your app. Hope this is what you are looking for.
Check this out for more info.
I think what you are trying to do is add a custom tab to your Facebook Fan Page like I did here on mine: www.facebook.com/daterraweb
To get it done, you need to create a page and as an admin you can create a custom page tab to host it.
Basically you just need to create a document like you would for a webpage and host it at your hosting of choice and then go to: https://developers.facebook.com/apps
On the Developers apps you can create a New App each can be configured to work as a tab on the page.
I hope this helps. Good lucky.
If you still have questions about this, please check this link: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/appsonfacebook/pagetabs/
I am writing a website using which a user would be able to change his status on facebook. Now for this, I have to register my website on facebook. When I go to register my website on Facebook, there are various options like 'MobileApp', 'FacebookApp', 'Website' etc. Can anyone please suggest which one of these is a correct option for me. An article explaining me the same would be useful. Thanks

What sort of app do you want to build? Those options are for configuring the different places your app will be accessed by users.
It sounds from your description that you probably want 'Website' since you said you're building a website.
You have to Create a New App from developers.facebook.com .
Then you go Settings > Basic and select App on Facebook from bottom section.
Enter your "return url" and its done.
I am creating a small Facebook application for pages (not profiles).
I can see in many tutorials, to allow the application to be added to a page, as a tab, you need to select in the app settings:
Authentification -> Authentification Settings -> Installable to : Facebook pages.
I think the menu is evolving since different tutorials show different locations.
Form the screenshots, I can tell this page is for me Facebook Integration.
In it I can see the Page Tabs section, but there is no "Installable to" option.
Not here nor anywhere else.
That really drives me crazy, I have wasted almost half day on this, I just want to click this option ... :(
If anyone can tip me on this my appreciation will be infinite!
Thank you,
Aurelien
That option is no longer exists (at least in the settings page).
What you can do is getting the page admin to authorize your application and then post on his behalf OR get the page access token (also needs the admin authorization) by asking for the manage_pages permission.
A quick note when reading tutorials about facebook development, check the date of the article because most of articles are outdated!
I found out how to add my app to a new tab:
You need to create a profile for the page admin! If you didn't, on the top right of Facebook page you should have a link 'Create Your Profile'. It doesn't make sense to me but ...
Go to this link (thanks ifaour):https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=YOUR_APP_ID&redirect_uri=YOUR_URL&scope=manage_pages&response_type=token
Got to your http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=YOUR_APP_ID and add the app to your page
