I don't know if it's already possible but I am trying to implement a "sharing system" on my site. Basically I have a blog and I want to add a section where people can share one picture or one entire album so it can be visible on the site itself.
Since I don't want to re-invent the wheel, I would love to do that via Facebook. I already have a Facebook Page for my site, so it would be really interesting if users could directly share the photos they already uploaded via Facebook with my existing page. I thought about using "tags" but it's too limited for what I wanted to do.
Anyone can help ?
Facebook didn't allowed to use the feature of shared albums (https://www.facebook.com/help/151724461692727/) in SDK, so you need to find an alternative.

sorry if this has been asked before, but I was wondering how you would be able to grab individual Facebook photos (not entire albums) and put them directly onto a personal website. I am not familiar with how to use the Facebook Photo API, so if that is the correct method, would someone be able to explain how to use it?
The website's language is HTML with some CSS.
Just use the Embedded Posts feature
For fine tuned programming, you haven't stated your website language or what is the exact issue you are having or anything like that, so you need to be more specific.
Consider reading the documentation https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.2/photo and then come back with a specific question about implementation.
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 am using the Facebook iOS SDK 3.1 in my latest, and I'm using the native share dialogue from FBNativeDialogue.
It has a "friends" button in the corner, which I always throught was to tag friends (just like the location button tags the location), but I realised that this is privacy settings for the post.
Therefor, Im still confounded how you can tag friends in a post. Nothing seems to happend when i type # followed by my friends names, is this not implemented yet ? And does anyone know of clever way to implement this ?
What the customer wants is the similar to the "Who are you with?" button as shown here:
I just don't think this is possible, considering the current Facebook SDK (3.5.1) documentation -- https://developers.facebook.com/docs/howtos/ios-6/#nativepostcontroller. It states:
iOS 6 includes a native Share Sheet that lets users post status updates, photos, links, and locations to Facebook and includes support for setting the audience for the post and tagging the post with a location.
Even when you post something on Facebook from iOS' Notification Center, it only allows you to share the information mentioned above, without tagging friends.
Instead, you could use the Facebook views, as they do here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/tutorials/ios-sdk-tutorial/show-friends/. But if you have to use the Native Dialogs, I can't see a way. If you get it to work, please let us know the solution.
I have registered an application for a website of mine. This is used for placing a like button, adding posts to visitors' streams, etc.
But this application does not show up anywhere and it does not seem that people can find and 'like' it.
So I created a page for this website/community.
Can I somehow connect these two, so that the existing 'likes', 'fans', etc. are moved to this new page? Or am I supposed to have and maintain both?
Your Website and a Facebook Page about your Website are two separate entities. Their Likes counts will be separated and there is no way to merge them.
A lot of people make the choice to only promote the Facebook Page about your Website as that allows them to share things with fans on facebook and to be visible to facebook visitors.
When making this choice, it's better to display on your website a like button targeting your facebook page instead of a like button targeting your website's url.
I don't think so and I searched it for I while cause I too wanted to connect these but did't find A way for this.
So its better to maintain them both simultaneously.
I'd like to develop a Flash/Flex based application that I'll integrate withing my Page on Facebook.
I've seen on many applications that in order for a user too see more stuff on the application, user first of all has to click LIKE button on my page.
I've searched but couldn't find right thing I've been looking for, probably I don't know how to search for it correctly.
Maybe you could help me out to find right source for that.
I don't think Liking the app really matter.
What you might be looking for is authorization from the facebook users. For instance if your app need to post status update on the user's wall, you'll need to get authorisation from him/her first.
You should probably read this (rather generic) intro on facebook's developer website:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/canvas/
This might be a helpful read too:
http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/116/
Finally, haven't done it in AS3 but apparently Adobe has an as3 version of the facebook sdk available:
http://www.adobe.com/newsletters/inspire/november2010/articles/article6/index.html
http://code.google.com/p/facebook-actionscript-api/
what you are reffering to is liking a page beofore being able to interact with an application that has been embedded into a page. A page tab app.
You need to parse the signed_request that facebook passes to your application and once you have parsed it you will be able to see if the user has liked your page or not.
Here is a link to some more information about singed_requests
