I had an application on production, ~900 MAU, linked with a fan page. Through the Facebook search box, anyone could find the application typing its name. Note that the Fan page and the application have the same name.
Recently (2 weeks ago), I had to change the application "Display name" with something totally different, and since that day, the search box does not find our application anymore. Note that the fan page has not been updated, so the title is still the old name.
I've probably missed something in the documentation, but it looks like if an app is linked with a fan page, the Facebook search box uses the fan page's name & descriptions for the application itself.
Can someone confirm?
Thank you for your help.
It has been experienced by me much times that some stuff (Pages/Events/Apps) don't appear at the search box. A friend suggested giving it some time to update and it worked. Probably it's the same problem, it just needs some time to be cached

I am experiencing a weird behavior of Like Box Social Plugin.
When I go to https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/
and enter my facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/LetUgo.cz
it shows doubled persons in the list (i.e. their face photos).
In other words, almost every person who has liked my page is listed twice.
The number of persons (X people like...) is also incorrect.
When I log out of facebook and show the plugin again, it is correct.
So the wrong behaviour happens only when I am logged into facebook.
The same problem happens to the others who like the page.
When I go to this facebook page, everything is correct. So this problem relates to facebook like box social plugin only.
Does anybody have a clue?
Cheers
Here is a site that I'm upgrading for one of my clients:
http://home.minitraper.pl/
As you can see, rolling the mouse over the facebook icon on the right, the LikeBox panel shows only 2 faces/connections but there are 5 people who like the page. I was playing around with various versions of LikeBox code (the current one is the iframe version) but it didn't change a thing.
What can possibly be wrong?
It could be that these people have set their FB preferences so you cannot be seen here unless you are that person's friend. You can't do anything about this.
This seems the most likely answer.
Is it possible with javascript SDK check if user has liked my facebook page (I need to check it on my iframe tab (without autorization)).
It's very simple in PHP , but I need to so it with javascript
Haha! I asked this question last week and got a neg review, which apparently infers that I posted the question without doing the proper research...haha! This is what I've found out since.
Facepile, facepile will give you a list of users images who have liked your page...pretty useless as far as I can tell.
Running the old rest api from javascript. While this is being depreciated, not all the functionality has been ported over and as far as I can tell //developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/rest/pages.isFan/ has not been ported over yet. You'll just have to keep your eyes open for when these do change so you can update when they do port it.
Querying with FQL: This looks like the go to for a lot of my stuff. Check out the //developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/FB.Data.query/ on how to call fql in the javascript sdk. Tables and columns are detailed here: //developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/#tables
Good luck! Let me know if these make sense.
I am trying to implement facebook like box for my facebook page on my own site. I copied the code from http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/ (HTML5 or any other) and pasted on my site. Box appears with all the correct information bu when I click on like, I get an error message saying
"The page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/xxxxx/111111 could not be reached."
I've been trying to find a solution for this for hours but couldn't find anything. It's nothing to do with the privileges etc.
I also ran it through Object Debugger and it didn't come up with any problem.
Does anyone has any solution for this? I created the page today, does facebook needs time to parse/index my page before like box works?
Thanks in advance
Are there any demographic restrictions on your page that would prevent it being seen by somebody logged out of Facebook? Is it the published? Those are the two most common reasons for that error that I've seen
Ok, all of a sudden it started working. Haven't changed anything in the code. So I guess Like Box won't work if you install it on the same day you create the FB Page.
I use fan gates on a lot of different fan pages. The idea has always been you land on the page and see a like us to gain something after clicking like the page reloads and now the user sees the content behind the fan gate.
I noticed today that after liking a page it immediately goes to the wall, is this a bug? Is this feature deprecated? I don't have much wall activity on my pages, I'd rather users see our portfolio or special deals.
This is a bug on facebook right now, described here - https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/110015112440103
It'd be great to have an interim fix but since the code for the Like button is outside of what's accessible to the page tab, I'm having trouble imaging what a solution might look like, short of removing the address from your page to make it not a "place", which seem to be the only pages affected.
I've been having this problem for the past few days, but today I found the solution. It seems the problem lies with the new recommend dialog box on pages. This box only appears on pages for places and prevents the page from reloading. If you have a address assigned to your page then remove it and your fangate will reload in the window when liked and not redirect to the wall page. I know this isn't a preferred fix, but until Facebook fixes the new dialog box it'll have to do.
