I'm using Joomla in my site and I had installed Facebook Connect. My problem is that when I receive a notification that someone has replied my post, the URL is modified, so I can't see any comment.
Example:
Original Website is http://unionvecinalquilmes.com.ar/getting-started.html.
URL of the notification is http://unionvecinalquilmes.com.ar/getting-started.html?fb_comment_id=fbc_10150903622273242_25781034_10150903622413242#f19a826f4
How can I correct this problem?
You should specify the href of the comments plugin to your page URL. For example, use the base URL if your pages' base URL is always the current page URL.

I'm preparing to launch a new site, http://www.careerclaim.com, and if I share the URL via FB only the URL displays, not the logo and title.
I've entered the URL in FB's debugger and it returns:
Can't Download: Could not retrieve data from URL.
Please help! Thank you!!!
You are redirecting to the HTTPS version of your page, but your og:url meta element states that the version using just HTTP was the “real” one – and that leads to an endless redirect circle, https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.careerclaim.com%2F

As you can see I have put up the facebook like box with url http://facebook.com/ElizaDoolittle
The problem is that it doesnt work with all urls, try replacing the url with this url: http://www.facebook.com/fatme.safa.3?ref=fs
you will see an error notification. Why is that?? What makes the difference in url?

That is the address of a Facebook page for a musician.

That is the address of a user profile.

Because only pages can be liked, user profiles can not be liked. And since, the Like box also does not work for user profiles.
Suppose that I click on a facebook link -- once clicked, the URL is transformed to this:
http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fapple.stackexchange.com%2Fquestions%2F398%2Fhow-do-i-build-apps-to-my-jailbroken-ipad&h=uAQFM5WKt
And then I'm redirected to the URL I thought I was going to. Why does facebook do this?
Facebook keeps track of all the links fired from its website. It saves the url you provided as link.
First it forwards you to a facebook link where it saves the url and then it redirects to the actual url.
This way facebook knows which urls are getting most hits.
FYI, Even google does it.
Just a simple question, I had facebook comments integrated in my page here:
http://www.bbcnepalidrama.com/main/node/3
Now I have changed the URL alias like this:
http://www.bbcnepalidrama.com/main/about
I have also set a 301 redirect in the old URL which redirects to the new one.
The Question is how do I get the old comments in this URL? They are missing now.
I think, that these comments will be forever associated with that URL and since you've changed it, as far as FB is concerned you are pointing to a different URL.
you can specify the old URL as “canonical” with an og:url meta tag.
see the FAQ about this.
This sucks in Facebook comments. I've launched a site with Facebook comments integrated, without setting the URL, and now when I do, the comments doesn't show up.
Your case seems to be easy, since it seems you're using Drupal. You can install the token and token_filter modules, so you can add the facebook comments code to a block and use the appropriate token that will return the node id from the current page.
I have integrated Like button and Comments plugin in my website. Recently some of the URLs for which comments and likes created are changed.
I am sending proper redirects (301) from old urls to new urls, how long will it take Facebook to detect the url and update likes & comments?
Will Comments & Likes from my old url be transferred to my new url?
UPDATE: Its been 2 days since the urls changed. I didnt see the Likes and Comments migrate to the new URL.
