I recently discovered this link:
https://www.facebook.com/media/albums/?id=111115269008275
I would expect this to be a facebook page but if you click on "Rezeptwelt", you get directed to a page that is not facebook. How can this be achieved?
I'd be thankful for any hint!
Edit: there's this too: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=259658517487282&id=111115269008275 - once again, when clicking on "Rezeptwelt", I am directed to a webpage (which redirects me back to facebook, but that's not the point), how can I do this?
It's an Open Graph page, backed by a Like button on an external URL.
This functionality is deprecated and will be removed in a few weeks

Apparently, something happened with facebook that i cannot like any Facebook page (in ex. http://www.facebook.com/TheSimpsons).
You can like such page on a page itself but not via Like button on your website.
Even on facebook documentation page (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/) if you put this url and try to click generated button, it will like and immediately unlike it.
Are there any known reason for such behavior or workaround?
This was Facebook bug which is closed now
Facebook like button not working on my site.
It goes from like back to default as if it isn't passing some validation.

Once the problem is detected and solved, I'll edit the question to represent a minimal example that will benefit the SO community. Unfortunately I can't pull out the problem out yet as I'm not sure what it is..
Here is a screencast demonstrating the issue http://see.weareinto.com/8Hbq
I believe this is a problem happening on facebook's end. But, there is a way you can fix it... Just copy the URL of your page and enter it in the Facebook LINTER tool here:
Facebook LINTER -> https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
I'm not sure of the exact details of why this works, but from what I've been able to gather, when you run the LINTER tool on your URL it will also update the cache facebook has for your URL. The error with the button working is on the facebook side, so by running this tool and getting facebook to update their cached data for your page, the like button starts working again. I've seen this broken facebook button occur for a few different reasons, one being that a page used to use the old facebook share button. When you add the new like button to a page that used to use a share button, the like button won't work until you run the page through the linter.
Bottom line is doing this will fix your like button. If your facebook button doesn't work on a page, run it through the LINTER tool. Hope this helps!
If you are on Wordpress and you have the "Facebook Comments" plugin enabled, uncheck "Include OpenGraph Meta Information" at the very bottom of the Facebook Comments settings page. This was screwing it up for me.
I just start on creating fan page on facebook. Left hand side of the fan page, there is a "Share" button which is sharing the current fan page.
I saw that it's url is: http://www.facebook.com/ajax/share_dialog.php?params
When i try to use this, it's failed. Is there any method can use this or simulate this function, allowing me to share the fan page?
Thanks to all in advance.
I know this thread is basically dead, but it still comes up in Google, so I figured I'd answer it. This is possible using Jquery and the FB Javascript API.

Check out http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/
You can use the method I describe here : How to make custom share buttons
It works in page tabs.
I'm trying to add a facebook "like" button to my page, and it is appearing just fine. My problem is that once it is clicked by a user, it says "Like NUMBER" then resets as if the request was canceled or something.
The weird thing is that if I try to like a page using my facebook account it works, but I tried letting a friend like some content and this behavior appeared.
I created a facebook app, specified the site url with a trailing slash, and site domain. I used the app ID with FB.init, and with the open graph tags. I can't figure what I'm doing wrong here. Any help would be appreciated.

First, for the count to work correctly, Facebook needs to have access to the page (in other words a public page). Check your URL in the linter tool (https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug) to ensure it can been seen by Facebook.
Secondly, ensure your og: tags are correctly setup. Once again, you can use the linter tool to do that.
Facebook like buttons will show this behavior until they have been scraped by Facebook. That scraping (facebook like docs) will occur every 24 hours, when an admin clicks the like button or the url is put in the url debugger/linter. From what I can tell doing that will solve the problem for that specific link, but not any others you may have on your site.
I don't know of a generic solution for dynamically generated pages unfortunately.
I'm trying to figure out how to add a Fan button to a Facebook page right next to the company name. I've seen this done on a few pages, as shown in the following screenshot.
I've added the FBML application though I can't find a great deal of information on the code required for the actual button and then how to place the button on the page. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Many thanks.
For pages, that button is automatically handled by Facebook. If you are already a Fan of the page, the button won't appear. You should be able to "unfan" the page in your account settings.
The FBML application lets you add arbitrary FBML to the "box" that represents that application. It has nothing to do with the Fan button.
Visit the url that lets you edit your page information, on the right had side you should see something along the lines of "Promote with a fan box" -- that should be what you're looking for.
If you want to do it by hand you can use the fb:fan tag (http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Fb:fan)
Thanks guys. Yep I delved into the hacks for this using FBML though eventually logged out and logged in with a different account and lo and behold! Facebook add this Fan Button by default now.
