Could somebody please provide a detailed step-by-step example on how to do the following?
I need to be able to post new content from our website directly to our Facebook Business Page - Timeline as the owner/administrator or via our Facebook App.
We have an extranet which supports multiple sites/domains, but would like the content from these various sites published automatically to our central Facebook Business page whenever we had content to our own sites.
We have like buttons on our pages, that allows users to like and post to their own walls, but we want to publish to our own business wall.
Is this possible?
Create an RSS-feed containing the posts you would like to share on your Facebook page.
Go to your Facebook page and use the top search box to search for 'RSS Graffiti'.
Follow the onscreen steps and you're done.

I have a Facebook "fan page" for my acting career (I mean a page that I created within my personal FB account) I want to make the feed from this page appear on my personal website as a "news feed" for publicity reasons. My website developer tool has a "custom HTML" option that has allowed me to make my Twitter feed appear on the webpage, but I want to use my Facebook page instead.
What you are searching for is the Like Box which has option to display your Page's stream on your website. Features about the like box (Quoting from documentation)
See how many people like the Page, and which of their friends like it, too.
Read recent posts from the Page.
Like the Page with one click, without needing to visit the Page.
Like box is a widget shown in an iframe. For users who want a full fledged solution that works on any device -
Famax is a plugin that will pull out your page posts, what people are posting on your page, your page albums etc.

i want to create social reader facebook application something like as washington post social reader. but i have no idea about its login and how it work. i have one site which contain daily news updates. so i want social reader application, so if user read ant news from my site then it publish on facebook timeline.
Thank you in advance.
first you need to create a facebook application:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/canvas/
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/appsonfacebook/tutorial/
Canvas applications are basicly iframe pages. Mean the main page is hosted in your own website.
then you should read: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/keyconcepts/ to learn what is action and how to use it.
I suggest you to find a facebook api to handle most of the auth. and background stuff.
You need to create a web page for your content and ask for necessary permissions (like publish_stream, publish_actions, email etc) and after that step you can post "x reads y" type actions to users wall.
I have a Facebook Fan Page. I could embed this feed into a site using Facebook's social activity plugin right now and we'd have nothing else to discuss. HOWEVER, when I do this, it only includes the content the PAGE posts, not the fan-submitted content. I'd like to have an embeddable stream of my actual page wall, which includes my content and fan-submitted content. Any ideas?
Per the documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/activity/, the social activity plugin is working as described. (of note,
The activity feed displays stories when users like content on your
site, when users share content from your site in Facebook or if they
comment on a page on your site in the Comments box.
If a user is logged into Facebook, the plugin will be personalized to
highlight content from their friends. If the user is logged out, the
activity feed will show recommendations from across your site, and
give the user the option to log in to Facebook.
To get the functionality you want, you will have write your own plugin.
I created a FB App to facilitate FB Connect authentication on my website.
Users can share content from my site to Facebook via the same FB app.
We also created a FB Fan Page to grow our community reach.
However a FB App is a separate entity than a Fan Page, whatever content is shared via our website to FB the App link sends the users to an empty App page while all the fuzz is in our Fan page.
I did an extensive research for this issue and only came up with this useful post here in stackoverflow: "Fan page vs Application Page".
Ideally i'd want the App link ("... via appName") on every shared item to point to our fan page.
I need to know if this is an issue that FB needs to address, if i am missing something and what do you do to solve this situation
Some apps are able to do this :

http://www.postplanner.com/white-label-facebook-app/
I also would be interested to know how they do this.
I've checked all app settings...
No, the App attribution on posts made via the API returns the user to that app's profile page - you'd need to have information there directing them back to your brand page if that's where you want them to go after they end up there.
I think in most cases people would click the name of the page or one of the links in the post rather than that small link at the bottom, no?
I am adding the Facebook like plugin onto my website, and from what I understand, when a user clicks 'like' the URL of the current page or a specified page is posted on their wall.
Is it possible to have them join a Facebook page at the same time?
The like button plugin is for adding external pages to the Social Graph. If you want to have users Like your actual Facebook page from your external Web site, then the plugin you're looking for is the Like Box. You can customise various elements of it to add/remove features such as a live feed of your page or a facepile of people who like you page etc.
I don't think that this is possible. Have a separate Like Plugin for your Facebook Page.
This is not possible. The Like feature you add to your website is for a specified URL for the user to Like. The Facebook Like is for the Facebook page only. You can't automatically get a webpage outside of Facebook to Like a Facebook page. If this was possible, it would be an abuse to their system.
