I'm developing a site that allows a user to create an order for a product based on "One of those, one of those, three of them, that much of that" etc to end up with a shopping list them can print out and take to their local store and show to a Customer Adviser "I'd like this product with these items in please".
I'd also like to have a Like button or something similar where you can post your results to your Facebook account - "Look what I'm buying!" sort of thing. Maybe even a link back to the client website.
I'm ultra new to the Facebook API - is anything like this possible? Have seen similar sort of ideas with people like Levi; is it possible to send complex text data to Facebook in this way rather than just "Like" a page, as the page results will be different for different users?
Yes, it is possible to do that.
Become an app developer. See: http://developers.facebook.com
Read thru the examples and other documentation at. http://developers.facebook.com/docs
Set up an app at: https://developers.facebook.com/apps
Get your feet wet by coding up some of the examples
Then get to work on your project's requirements and code up the solution.
Happy coding.

I'd like to get a list of users who have shared my app on to their streams. Facebook insights gives me the number of users who have published the story but I'd like to get their usernames as well. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance!
Sorry, this is simply not possible! Facebook doesn't give access to this information unless you explicitly get permission from the user to examine their feed with the read_stream permission. Even if you did, you would have to scan each individual users feed to see if they have the shared post.
As I see it, the insights service is more statistical information that user information.
You can however see by manually clicking on the number of shares next to the post on Facebook. There is a difference between the type of data Facebook shows users and the data that they make available to applications via the API. This is to make sure that no applications take part in data mining and simply collecting as much data as they can on every user.

I have a very different requirement in my app.Using the app i need to get top 25 most liked and most commented posts from facebook.First let me ask the experts does it seems to be possible till today?
As far as i thought and researched on this I am able to get the likes and comments for a page(of an organization or celebrity using graph api).
My approach was to make an Admin panel and subscribe most of the famous people,organization,product etc,but this won't help.
Not possible to do I'm afraid. From what you are asking, you want to find the most popular posts across all of facebook? This is most likely going to come from Pages as these are public and can have millions of people liking / commenting on posts.
Either way, this would be a complex and data-intensive task. You would have to scrape posts from all the top Facebook pages and see which ones would have the most links / comments. A lot of work for little reward.

I have a Facebook news app. It takes a bit of time to load the webpage in the app. But an app like Washington post loads the page much faster. How do I make my app load faster?
Some things you could do are :
Minify all JavaScript and CSS files.
Ensure all images used are as small as possible ( talking about the size of the file )
Consider condensing your images into a "sprite" file.
Make sure you are not making any unnecessary API calls before the page loads
Refactor your code and review your code logic.
Use google chrome's "network" panel to monitor what resources are being loaded and how long they are taking.
If you are using jQuery - consider loading the libraries from Google's CDN
Saying that "app like Washington post loads the page very quick..." doesn't help anyone - who knows how many developers and how much time they put into their application. All you can do is make it the best that you can with the tools and resources that you have at your disposal...
If you find a specific issue with your application that you see is slowing things down and you still do not know how to improve the load time - come back here and edit your question to contain more information about that specific problem.
Happy coding!

I'm currently investigating a way to develop a website that will allow me to search for users of facebook and the outcome is to display some simple information to the user of my website about this person. so firstly a search will will display a list of users and then when the user clicks the name the basic information will be displayed.
This is part of a University application i am looking into creating for a final year project. i'm not asking for answers i'm just wondering is it possible to even use the api to integrate with a aspx.net project and do the searches i have explained.
any pointers would help greatly. This is my first ever post on this form and i hope to be an active user of the site.
Thanks Everyone
Chris

I've been having some difficulty designing a search and login function for my app. I have a list of video's with titles, and I need to create a search function (much like the youtube app) to search through the list. What would be the best way to go about doing this? Search the video's before they get fetched, and display the results, or search through the array after it's been fetched.
I also need to connect with an apache server to login in my app, and display unique content.
I haven't been able to find any samples on the matter.
Thanks for reading!
Your question is too vague. There are many paths that you can take. Your videos can be searchable on your remote apache server, or your iOS app can download the list of videos and search locally. This depends on the number of videos.
Best way is to have a table view with a list, and a search field on top. To get to this table view, the iOS app asks the user to login. If it's valid, then it shows the table/search views.
