I have an app inside of facebook and in that app you sign up for something and you get a personal link you can share with people to see your profile...how do I get that link inside of facebook?
An example might be in order to make this make more sense. App lives on my server
http://example.com/app
you sign up and get a profile page
http://example.com/app/my/profile/123
I don't want to give people THAT link, because this app is for facebook only, so the page really needs to be something like facebook.com/mypage/appId/my/profile/123
tl;dr want people to directly link to a specific page inside my facebook app and I'm not sure how to do that or if it's even possible
If I understand your question correctly, instead of using http://example.com/app/my/profile/123 try using your Facebook App URL like this http://apps.facebook.com/app/my/profile/123

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 create an app that simply allows a user to log in, touch a like button, and then the app logs them out. I am wondering if this type of app would be allowed by Facebook, since the main functionality is all Facebook related. The app would be used by business to help them increase their Facebook page following. Is this allowed?
Yes, you are. Pratically every like button you see in blog posts and product pages in online stores works like that (except for the logout).
I'm having issues configuring my Facebook app to behave as I want when posting information via the Feed Dialog. I've set up an app and created a link that correctly posts my content when clicked, but I can't figure out how to make the link to the app in the resulting post redirect where I want it to.
As an example, here's a post made via Instagram.
If I click on the 'via Instagram' link, I get either prompted or automatically redirected from the destination URL http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=124024574287414 to www.instagram.com.
I've seen other posts suggest you can do something similar using a JavaScript redirect from the App Canvas page, and I've got a proof of concept doing this, but since I've seen Instagram and other apps do this seemingly internally to Facebook I'm convinced it's possible to do more cleanly.
That link goes to your app's canvas URL (apps.facebook.com/something) or website URL as defined in the app settings, it can't be configured with any more granularity.
This seems that it will probably do the trick most easily: http://woobox.com/statichtml
See the redirect radio button in the image they have.
I need to post a user-specific text, determined by him, on his wall/timeline when he presses a button (in facebook's tutorial, they make the user login when the app launches, and then it does nothing).
There is a lot of information on the internet but every site does it in other way.
Just wanted to know if there's a specific way to do it.
Thanks!
A quick easy way to add facebook to your app is ShareKit (http://www.getsharekit.com/). This also allows you to add other social network site to your app.
You might want to try Socialize: http://www.GetSocialize.com. It'll allow app users to comment & like within the app, with the option of also sharing out to a social network (Facebook currently live; Twitter coming). Full feature list at http://go.GetSocialize.com/features

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
