i'm doing a website and i want my visitors to leave a comment but instead of showing the tipical gravatar, i want to display their tumblr avatar just by putting their URL.
See, i'm using wordpress, there's a plugin for that but it's for twitter only.
does anyone know what i need to change to make it work for tumblr?
The plug in is called Twitter Avatar reloaded
i tried to change the tumblr API but id didn't work or does anyone know another method?
i'm kind of desperate, i just want to grab the tumblr avatar like in this website tumblrplug.com
Thanks i'd really appreciate any solution!
here you can see the plugin

So this is a little bit odd, I have a website that trawls facebook looking at specific pages and requesting data from them.
As part of this I request the picture object of the page: http://graph.facebook.com/285361880228/picture
This returns a question mark instead of the page profile picture.
Other links to pages seem to work without a problem.
http://graph.facebook.com/1485760851674064/picture
Does anyone know what may be causing this?
I am currently using version 2.3 of the API.
I'm assuming it has something to do with the page setup, as according to the facebook documentation,I should be able to read this.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.3/page/picture/
It seems like the facebook page has not been published. Try publishing the page and access the image using same link. It will work.
I wondered if anyone know how soundcloud has been able to create a widget that plays directly in posts and comments on facebook?
Is this done via a specific deal they made with facebook, or is there actually a way to create a widget display when a certain type of link is shared?
Any insight on how this works would be great.
Thanks.
read the FB documentation on open graph - og:video tag.
facebook allows to show SWF inside the posts/comments. So all you need is to create a flash player for your content.
I have seen many website build with wordpress and they have facebook timeline cover photos auto upload.
anyone please help me?
sorry for my bad english
it isn't difficult at all... you can get the cover url for a page/user using the facebook graph api.
ie: querying http://graph.facebook.com/cocacola?fields=cover will return the cover image properties for the cocacola fan page, simply use the 'source' field as your image src. (this is a 720px wide cover image)
as your using wordpress you could make a widget out of it, or hard code it in the template (eww..).
(on another note - you may want to additionally implement some form of caching for the facebook grapi api result so you don't continuously query facebook on every page load for the cover url.)
Majid Khan,
try this, facebook image uploader (for timeline and more.....)
work fine on wordpress and more....but it is not free
Timeline is the New Facebook Timeline covers profile. Tell your life story through photos, friendships and personal milestones like graduating or traveling to new places.
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 have wordpress blog with twentyeleven theme setup. I have facebook button and I beleive all facebook garph api codes are exist in head part. Now the problem is there are more than 4 images exist on the page, but facebook like button only fetching one image everytime. And trust me that is a huge problem for me.
Can someone help me fix the issue.
here is the link if you wanna take a look at: http://j.mp/GSfWKb

While I can't confirm this is how Facebook approaches it, the og: meta tags only appear to work for actual like buttons, not Facebook sharing buttons (which are depreciated anyway).
According to this question you can try and put in a link tag and that may work for the share button you have. Facebook Post Link Image
