Does anybody happen to know a good tutorial on placing the ‘I like it’ button into the application?
I’m especially interested in Facebook SDK 3.0 and the so-called Built-in Like button.
So far, I’ve been searching through google and stackoverflow but I haven't found anything about SDK 3.0.
Publishing a built-in like is very similar to publishing a custom Open Graph action. The best resource for learning about publishing built-in likes is Facebook's reference page:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/actions/builtin/likes/
Please see this post regarding likes and this post to see an alternative of adding a like button.
Ideally you could create a html iframe that links to the page. obviously this would open up the webpage to the link of the facebook like button. atm i believe that's how temple run achieve this. does the trick. They're getting many likes from users directed from the ios app temple run itself.

I am building a website for a client. He has a Facebook page for his business. On the homepage of his site, he wants a feed that will pull in all the updates from his business' Facebook page.
Now, I felt this would be very easy to implement (maybe it is) but I have scoured the Facebook API for any simple way to do this. I am having a lot of trouble understanding which way I should do this. I've settled on using JS to access it, but have no idea where to go from there.
Do I need to create an app? If so, which options do I select so I can access the clients facebook page?
How do I get my app that I've created to show up so a user can authorize it? I have so many questions, and Facebook isn't very good at giving me answers.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I would suggest you just use the facebook page's RSS feed.
Example
Take his page URL e.g.
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lazery-Attack/6001014870
Take the number at the end of the url off, and plug it into the facebook feeds URL e.g.
https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id=6001014870
Voila, you now have an RSS feed you can integrate into the website you are building.
URL Breakdown
The URL is broken down the following way:
https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format={feedFormat}&id={PageID}
Vaid feed formats are:
RSS - rss20
Atom - atom10
JSON - json
Other Examples
Atom
https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=atom10&id=6001014870
JSON
https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=json&id=6001014870
Take a look at the facebook API, right here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/page/
You can give it a try here:
http://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/?method=GET&path=19292868552%2Fposts
The like box: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/ also has the latest posts available
The simplest way is to add a Like Button to the page and make sure "show Stream" is checked on as this will show all recent posts. You can customise the appearance also (e.g. width, height etc).
No App or messy API calls needed!
Try it out here and simply paste the resulting code into your webpage:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/
Not an app, but the Facebook Social Plugins over here at Facebook For Pages
I'm relatively new to this and looking to implement like buttons for videos and articles on a website. I would prefer to get the better functionality from the html5 option over the iframe option. Not sure what I need to do as far as creating the app, getting app ID, and what I need to add to the site from the SDK in addition to the HTML5 code generated on https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ when I put in all the info.
Is there a step by step guide somewhere that I can follow to implement this correctly?
Here's Facebook's Open Graph protocol. There's a Getting Started section with all of the info you need. Just follow the instructions and your site should work fine.
I have a business requirement to add a Share on Facebook button to a site. There are a lot of links on the web that point to this page but that just points to the page about the like button. Considering there really isn't any talk of a Share button on that page, makes me think it's going away.
This blog post from 2009 talks about the Share button. I didn't see, when I searched, any mention about the Share button being phased out.
I'm unclear on whether I should implement this with sharer.php or whether I should tell the business that "Share" is on the way out and we should just implement "Like".
I have seen some blog posts that suggest Share is deprecated, but nothing official from Facebook.
It is not deprecated per se, but we do want developers to move the Like button.
Official word from Facebook on the sharer.php being deprecated and not supported: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/share/
The Share button has been deprecated in favor of the Like button, and will no longer be supported. Please use the Like button whenever possible to drive maximum traffic to your apps.
2014: The sharer.php has been well..undeprecated. It figures, as this method has been used on millions of sites and was still being used even when the docs were previously saying that it was deprecated. Links in the old format will use the new share button functionality:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/share-button/
This new Share Button works with a new version of our web-based Share Dialog. When using the sharer.php method of invoking the Share Dialog, this dialog will also display the new version without any changes required.
And:
Can I use the Share Dialog without using the Share Button?
Yes, although we recommend using the Share button to offer the
simplest and most consistent experience for people using your site,
you can invoke the Share Dialog using a link:
I believe it has been deprecated in favor of an improved Like button that has similar functionality. The language can be tweaked to 'Recommend', but I found these articles when doing similar research.

Hope it helps.
I don't know of any plans to deprecate the share bookmarklet (which is sharer.php). The deprecation I think you're thinking of is the deprecation of the <fb:share> tag, an XFBML tag which basically did the same thing as <fb:like> before <fb:like> came into existence. Now, they're redundant, so I think <fb:share> is gradually being phased out.
Using the Like button is probably the right way to go in most cases, but if you don't want to make an app id and want a simple quick method, just do this:
Share on Facebook
You can replace the Share on Facebook with an image or whatever you want. Facebook docs reference: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/share-links/
Facebook offers two simple methods for pre-poulating someones status for posting.
1) For sharing a LINK: http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=http://350.org
2) For sharing a message: http://www.facebook.com/connect/prompt_feed.php?&message=350.org rocks!
My question: is it possible to combine these. So if someone clicks your pre-populated link, they get both an attached LINK and a personalized message to go with it?
Thanks!
Facebook moved to Open Graph and realized it by introducing the Like Plugin. They removed the share documentation for a reason!
For you to use the Like plugin.
Is there a way to embed a Facebook page wall into a website? Without using Graph API?
I want to have the wall exactly as styled from Facebook, with all actions to Like, Comment and Share but from my website.
I'm sorry but there is no way to easy reproduce your wall on your website. You can easily get contents (but it will not reflect the facebook's wall as some content is filtered), using facebook's javascript sdk or graph api, but you won't be able to add universal like button using javascript sdk for every posts, as facebook requires to like some objects (like pages) directly with their like social plugin.
You can check a lot of facebook widgets you can easily implement on your website using Javascript SDK on the fbrell application.
Happy facebook programming!
Based on these requirements, would an iframe produce the desired effect? Maybe even a regular frame? (I haven't used those in a long time, so I don't remember if there's some restriction that would prevent loading external content with them).
When you say you want these actions "from your website" what exactly do you mean? Do you just want to wrap the Facebook content with your own (in a frame) or do you want to actually do something locally with these actions, intercepting them somehow?
You will need to use FBML. or custom code from for using Graph API, i dont think you can do it any other way. look up facebook documentaion for details.
There is no way you can embed the same wall, yet you can use paste your wall's contents on your webpage,
If you want Share, Like and comment button to perform action on your webstie then you have to create your own db and user management
But...
Share, Like and Comment buttons which will effect your original wall in facebook is not possible.
double think. I have been working on a Wall Feed for Pages for some time now, what you are looking for can be done, but you would need to use the Graph API to accomplish..
Sample Here http://shawnsspace.com/plugins/wallfeed.php Likes, Commenting is disabled.
Emulates the Wall for http://facebook.com
I used a combination of Graph API "PHP-SDK 3.1.1", "Javascript SDK". This can be done with pure client side Javascript though.
