I have very little knowledge how the plug ins work and really need help. I have a blogging website that I just upgraded to a regular domain address. The original site was http://meltfitness.blog.com. now the domain address is http://meltfitness.net. I'm trying to find out if there is any way TO NOT LOSE the previous likes the pages had from the original domain. Is there a way to carry those over to the new domain? This problem only seems to be happening on the individual posts; not the general site itself. ALSO, when someone clicks "like" on my site/page/posts, it is not carrying over into their "Likes" section on FB. It DOES seem to show up as a recent like, but it doesn't intertwine with my meltfitness.net FB page. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP!! I've spent hours and days trying to figure this out but I'm simply not tech savvy!
I have a feeling you might be unable to do this.

I can't find any Facebook documentation stating that is impossible.
You might be able to get help from Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/help
Good luck

I would like to add new content via some API. I found this site where they say that there is a Imported Sites function which allows to enter a RSS feed and the content will be posted automatically. Is this true? Or better does that work today too?
If yes please point me where I have to set that. Facebook has changed in such a way that their way doesn't work today. Im looping thrue the menus since about a hour without any success.
If this does not work please show me a other way. Thanks!
Since September, this feature has been removed.
We want you to connect with your fans in the most effective ways possible. That's why as of September 30th you'll no longer be able to automatically import posts from your website to your Page notes. The best way to get people to interact with your content is to give them insight into the links you share on your Wall by adding personal comments and responding to feedback from fans.

I'm a little bit lost.
So, I'm not really trying to integrate facebook with my webproject, but in some point I need to get some information of a fb account... like friend's email, name, status and some other things...
From what I read so far, it seems that it's no longer possible to get friends' email and some other information without the friends authorize you app to do that, at least when using the last api from fb (graph api)... so I thought that was something impossible to do, until I see some sites (like yahoo) offering a possibility to import your contacts from your fb account without his friends authorize. Does anyone know how they do that?
I tried using other apis, like facebook-java-api, restFB, and others but in all cases I'm getting some kind of error... so if someone could at least give me a direction or something like that... have you done this? or know how to? using which api?
some info: I'm developing in Java with Eclipse, using tomcat as my web server.
well it's a little bit confusing since its not a technical issue, but if someone could help me pointing some direction I could tell each error i got when trying to go this direction or something like that.
You dont HAVE to use an SDK at all... Basically the only URL you need to be aware of is graph.facebook.com and you can just make HTTP requests to that URL. You might want to look into the facebook connect feature too.
I am looking for a way to connect to facebook by allowing the user to enter in their username and password and have our app connect to their account and get their contacts so that they can invite them to join their group on our site. I have written a facebook app before, but this is not an app as much as it is a connector so that they can invite all their friends or just some to the site we are working on.
I have seen several other sites do this and also connect to Yahoo, Gmail and Hotmail contacts. I dont think they are using Facebook Connect to do this since it is so new, but they may be.
Any solution in any language is fine as I can port whatever example to use C#. I cannot find anything specifically on Google or Facebook to address this specific problem. Any help is appreciated.
I saw a first answer get removed that had suggested i might need to scrape the friends page. The more I look around, this might be what i need to do. Any other way i think will require the person to add it as an app. I am wondering how a answer can get removed, maybe that user deleted it.
Try This
Not sure if its possible explicitly but there are indirect ways to do it!!!
Here is another article that seems to cover what you want to do http://facebook-developer.net/2008/02/20/allow-your-users-to-invite-their-friends/
first time Facebook developer so was hoping for some guidance. Been given a very brief spec:
Requirement is to run it where fans have to give email (so that we can
contact winners) with opt in for newsletter sign up and also must FB
like VF to be entered into prize draw. There will be options to choose
from. They choose one and can't vote more than once.
So I'm thinking about a Facebook application that sits as a tab on the facebook page. If the user hasn't "Liked" the page, they'll be encouraged to "Like" the page in order to proceed.
If it's liked, they'll have an option to opt into our newsletter. They will also be allowed to answer one question with one answer. When they submit it, they will then be entered into a competition.
If they pick the "right" option, we will send them an email telling them so.
Right - does this sound fairly straightforward? Are there any guides, examples or tutorials that could help? Am I going about it in the right way?
Many thanks in advance,
JJ
That sounds very straightforward and you are going about it in the right way.
The best tutorials and examples can probably be found in the Facebook Developers documentation and in the example files within the PHP SDK (http://github.com/facebook/php-sdk/)
To find out if the current viewing user has liked the page or not check out the signed request that Facebook passes to your app tab. It contains this and a lot more useful information http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/signed_request/
What you have is pretty much how the majority of companies are pushing forward with Facebook. They are driving up the Like count by forcing users to Like the page before getting to their goodies. There are lots of examples on the internet as to how to create a page which checks if the user likes the page. As you've not stated what programming language you are going to be tackling this in, it is going to be hard to point you in the right direction.
I have a very simple php site that I'm wanting to add facebook connect to. I have searched to and fro to find out how to do this. Even the developer docs at facebook are apparently wrong. I see many seasoned programmers replying that the docs are outdated and some of the methods won't work.. how one should create a new solution for this part, etc...
I know that Facebook changed a lot about the way facebook connect just before 2011. Isn't there someone out there who could provide a working example on how it's done? I will give my left leg to someone that could provide an updated and working tutorial.
Thanks.
The PHP Example shows you exactly how to do this. Short, redirect to $facebook->getLoginUrl() and then call $facebook->getUser().
