Im planning to show some facebook album pictures on a remote page. I would like to connect a facebook comment box (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/comments/) to each photo. What url should i paste in the url attribute on the comment box to connect it with the comments posted on facebook? Thanks
Use the url that will take you directly to the photo itself (ie: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=###&set=a.###). You can locate this url by right clicking one of your images in the thumbnail view and opening it in a new tab. Rather than opening it in the standard image viewer, it will open it a new tab by itself.

I don't see the answer I'm looking for, so hopefully someone can help.
I have a PHP script, which displays data from an SQL database. The dynamic elements are pulled in, essentially showing details of a job listing. On this page, I have a Facebook share URL.
Example:
<a title="Post on Facebook"
href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=http://www.mywebsite.com/joblisting/details.php?job_id=1345488636.3750">
POST ON FACEBOOK
</a>
When the user clicks that link, they get the Facebook page to post this to their Facebook page. The page they are on pre-populates with my page title, page description, etc.
And if I have an image on my page, that becomes the default thumbnail image for the FB post. I also set a defualt Facebook image in my metatag, and that works too. I also added up to 10 other images on my page, so that the user could choose from 1 of 10 images as the default thumbnail. But...
I wanted to be able to let the user choose a thumbnail image from their desktop. Is this possible?
The image that's used in the Share dialog needs to exist somewhere on the web before the dialog is invoked, so you'd need to allow the user to upload it somewhere before popping the dialog in order to do what you're suggesting.
I do configure the Like and Share button on a website but the image that appear when a link is shared is not the same image fromthe link, it is some random image fromthe site
So another image is seen, but only when a user click on the link the right image is show.
How can i fix it ? any parameter ?
Check what Facebook is detecting on your page using the Debug tool: http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
If any of the Open Graph meta tags are missing on the links you're sharing, Facebook has to guess at the title/description/image/etc and it won't necessarily be the first/biggest/most prominent image or piece of text on the page
I have a picture with a hyperlink, however, when I download the picture to Facebook the hyperlink does not work. Can you not put a hyperlink on a picture? I would like it if people open the picture, they will be able to click on the picture and it take them to a website.
You'll just need to wrap the image with an pointing it to the site where your sharing it on. However, if your using FaceBook to host the image, then you'll be using the API of FaceBook and won't have control over what happens when a user clicks on the image. Maybe just share the link in the description??
I have an app with a comment box inside it, which I inserted as a social plugin
<fb:comments href="https://apps.facebook.com/myappname"></fb:comments>
When a user posts a comment using that comment box, Facebook does not show the correct image. With Facebook debug I can check that the Open Graph tags for the page of my application use the application icon as image - which is what I had expected.
Still, when a user uses this comment box, on his profile appears a random image from my app. Is there a way to fix this?
