I have a problem with the new facebook timeline and the like box from my site.
For example: if you click like on this website http://www.roflplanet.com/962/ the like is displayed on the timeline
but if i click like on my website the like isn't displayed http://lolbuzz.net/test
what can be the problem?
At least for now the Timeline seems tempermental as to whether it will show Likes or not. With two test users and one real user of an Open Graph app I tried Liking a few pages on a site I recently completed. At first the posts appeared on the Timeline, but after I hid the test posts from the real user's Timeline using the Hide from Timeline option, they never again showed up. I believe it has to do with the way Facebook is attempting to detect spam and unwanted shares with a rank system (if this is the case, it would conceivably also be affected by friends using the Hide story or Report story or spam options on your Like story when it shows up in their feeds).
However, in the Like Button documentation Facebook doesn't promise that a story will show in the Timeline, just that Likes will show up in friends news feeds:
The Like button lets a user share your content with friends on Facebook. When the user clicks the Like button on your site, a story appears in the user's friends' News Feed with a link back to your website.

I am currently implementing Facebook on an eCommerce store.
I have a Facebook page for the actual store and I also have links on each of the product pages where visitors can "Like" the individual products.
Now, I know that when someone "likes" the actual Facebook Page of the store, they receive status updates whenever that page makes a post on their wall.
Is there any way to integrate this also if someone only likes a product, instead of the entire Page, they also receive status updates of the Page?
Or do they need to like the actual Page in order to receive updates.
I hope someone with experience in integrating this can help me. Thank you very much :)
The question is: Building a relationship with a user visiting your page or an opportunity to reach to friends of that particular user.
If the user likes a post, link or an article on your web page this is a one time action and after some time this action will disappear from his/her friends' news feed. And the opportunity to interact with that user one more time will disappear as well. But if that user likes your page so you will have one more fan who will receive your updates every time you post them (Actually this is not always as Facebook news feed algorithm can filter your post).
But what can I suggest is: Put a separate Like Box in your web page to gain more likes for your Facebook page. This like will be more targeted and relevant, as they know what they are doing and they will not be surprised if they see some posts from your page on their news feed. This could be a better experience for your page. And secondly put separate like button on each product with correct meta tags and if it interests particular users they will go to your web page and if they like it, they will also connect to your Facebook page.
Is there any way to disable some (not all) of the sentences from auto-posting from a Facebook app to a Facebook users profile/timeline?
Ideally I would like just the 'one-to-one' options to be active - the reason for this is that Facebook seems to add activity to the timeline from the past after it has happened, which is useless as no one sees it.
I have a Facebook "fan page" for my acting career (I mean a page that I created within my personal FB account) I want to make the feed from this page appear on my personal website as a "news feed" for publicity reasons. My website developer tool has a "custom HTML" option that has allowed me to make my Twitter feed appear on the webpage, but I want to use my Facebook page instead.
What you are searching for is the Like Box which has option to display your Page's stream on your website. Features about the like box (Quoting from documentation)
See how many people like the Page, and which of their friends like it, too.
Read recent posts from the Page.
Like the Page with one click, without needing to visit the Page.
Like box is a widget shown in an iframe. For users who want a full fledged solution that works on any device -
Famax is a plugin that will pull out your page posts, what people are posting on your page, your page albums etc.

Ideally this is what I would want:
I have a fb fan page with around 2000 likes. I also have a fb app by
which I can run social plugins on my website. I put up a like button
using the following code on my website: {fb:like
href="http://facebook.com/traveltriangle"}
I want to show Like button on my website such that if user clicks on
it, my fan page's 'like' increases. However I also want that for the
post that goes on user's timeline, it links to my website and not to my fan page.
How do I achieve this?
I am also fine if I change href in the fb:like code to point it to my website. However then the referral links are good, but I can not use those likes to post my users later.
I don't think you can use merge tam. Fb Fan page is one thing and Fb App is other thing. FB App helps you get user data from what I know from their database while Fan page helps you promote your business.
Why do you need to merge them?
I'm tring to send customized news to my users via Facebook.
I've tried posting private posts to their walls, so they show up on their news feed, but people got upset by the new posts on their wall (even though noone else can see them)
Is there a way to do this?
I considered building a page per user and suggest to the user to follow it - can this be done via API?
Can a user follow updates on just any page (non fan page) that he Liked, or that has a FB comments box?
Alternatively, can I programatically send Facebook notifications?
You can try creating a single Page for your app. Then when a user connects with your app, auto-follow that page so that all posts to that page show up in the user's feed.
Now just add new posts to that Page with privacy settings targetted at just that user.
Thats my off the cuff answer.
