I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to embed the facebook feed dialog on a page rather than have it popup overlayed on the page.
I've followed the instructions here and get it to popup, but dont' know if it's even possible to have it embedded on the page. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/feed/
Thoughts?
Check out display parameter in Common Dialog Parameters.
According to that you can show a dialog as a page,iframe,popup.
Using an iframe could be useful in your case, for which you will need a valid access_token.
Hope this helps
Yes, I just wrote up how to do this along with a workaround for specifying the recipient here: Letting user specify recipients within Feed Dialog
No, you cannot embed it to the page.
basically it is either popup or lightbox.

I am creating a customised Facebook share button. The idea is upon clicking on the Facebook share button, it will pick up the meta tags on the page and prefill the share information with a title, description and image that have been curated.
What URL should I be using for the button?
There is https://www.facebook.com/dialog/share
and https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php
I heard the latter has been deprecated? And you can append a whole bunch of information to the URL as well?
I can't quite figure that out.
sharer.php is not deprecated. It was, for some months, but you can definitely use it. The benefit of using sharer.php is that you don´t need to create an App. It´s the easiest way to implement sharing.
Keep in mind that sharer.php ONLY takes the URL as parameter, everything else will get loaded from the Open Graph tags.
For example:
https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffacebook.com%2F
According to fb, the feed dialog is now deprecated, so I'm trying to use the new share dialog with open graph metas, all work however, the old feed dialog had a link attribute to point to any URL I want, my question is, is there anything similar in the new share dialog, the reason I need this is because my app is going to be loaded inside an iframe in different domains and I need to change the URL dynamically, thanks for any help
how to get my facebook share dialog to display the facebook share button rather than just text? Furthermore I'd like to ask how to get it to display the actual shares? The generic code at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/share-links/ does not answer this question. Thanks for any help
What you are looking for is the Share Button. Facebook has deprecated this and this will no longer be supported. So, you have to use the Share Dialog instead that you've mentioned.
I've had this like button/box setup for this specific page for some time. But now it;s stopped working:
Using code generated (for iframe) on this page:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
to display this fb page:
http://www.facebook.com/JohnPurkiss
does not display/work. If I amend the like button url in the iframe to another fb page, it does work. I'm not tryinig to use a button/plugin that requires an app. Just a plain 'ol simple button. But it appears to me there is an issue with this specific fb page (johnpurkiss one above)
Any advice/help greatly appreciated.
The problem here is that the "page" you linked to is in actual fact a personal user.
You can not "like" a user in the same way that
you can not add a page as a friend...
or "poke" an event...
or subscribe to a photo...
You'll gave to provide an actual page to be liked.
As you can see from the screenshot below taken from the link you provided, there is no like button to be found.
Only an "Add Friend" and "Subscribe" button. I'm not sure if converting your profile into a page is the way you want to go, but it is possible. You can learn how at this link.
Since today, I cannot add new apps to Facebook pages.
Normally I create an app, go to the app-page and click on "Add to my page":
The link to the add page was this, but it's not working anymore.
Any solution?
Check this page tab tutorial.
Here is a little helper page to do this until Facebook fixes it themselves: http://stickybeat.se/addapp/
This link might be more direct on what you are looking for. It gives an example of using the Facebook api to add a page as well as the dialog method.
