Is there an easy way to generate the Facebook share box for my own app (see image below for what I mean)?
Users of my app will be able to share many of the same things that the this current box allows and wondered if the Facebook api can just generate it or do I would have to style the whole thing from scratch?
The closest thing available for you to use is: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/feed/ But that doesn't have all the cool options of Status/Photo/Link/Video/Question/Security. You will have to build your own form to collect that information and then HTTP post it to the appropriate graph object.

I know that I can embed Facebook's own Like Box on to a web page, but as many people have found out it can no longer be styled as much as you used to be able to do (removing the border is about the best you can do it seems).
So I was wondering whether it would be possible to build my own customised Like Box so that I have control over the styling of it, and make it fit in with the design of the web page it needs to go on?
I've been attempting to work my way through the Graph API documentation on the Facebook site and know how to get some information such as the number of "likes" a page has and other information about the page itself, but I can't seem to find out how to pull a random number of profile pics for people that have liked the page (the same as how it works on the Like Box social plugin basically).
Thanks.
Is there a way to show your facebook wall on a website? I have been looking for days and all I can find is methods of showing ones OWN messages. Im looking for something(script/code) that will show the complete wall including what friends are posting. Is this even possible or is it prohibited by Facebook? I did search there 'developers api site' but couldnt find an anwser to this.
It's possible but you need to build your own custom version as officially facebook doesn't provide any pre-built plugins or code.
You'll have to code a lot of back-end and front-end stuffs. If you're really interested in building something like that, you might wanna consider looking at this script Facebook Wall Script 3.0 with PHP and Jquery
If you want to save time, you might buy that script, do the necessary changes and integrate facebook graph API so it shows data from your fb profile, but if you want build more advance version and have lot of time, then you can build a custom version from scratch.
i don't see the point of show your facebook wall on a website since can have that easily by pointing the user back to your facebook account.
i would suggest you to display a facebook page plugin instead as you can earn some like and it is free of charge.
could you let me know why you want to do that?
Hi I've developed a Facebook app that allows user to take custom actions that result in custom open graph objects. I would now like to generate lists of what actions specific users have taken in my app. is this information stored somewhere in the open graph? Do I need to use FQL? Can anyone point me in a good direction?
Much Thanks!
The developer tool has a "Get Code" link. Click it and you can see how to read all the actions.
I'd like to develop a Flash/Flex based application that I'll integrate withing my Page on Facebook.
I've seen on many applications that in order for a user too see more stuff on the application, user first of all has to click LIKE button on my page.
I've searched but couldn't find right thing I've been looking for, probably I don't know how to search for it correctly.
Maybe you could help me out to find right source for that.
I don't think Liking the app really matter.
What you might be looking for is authorization from the facebook users. For instance if your app need to post status update on the user's wall, you'll need to get authorisation from him/her first.
You should probably read this (rather generic) intro on facebook's developer website:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/canvas/
This might be a helpful read too:

Finally, haven't done it in AS3 but apparently Adobe has an as3 version of the facebook sdk available:

what you are reffering to is liking a page beofore being able to interact with an application that has been embedded into a page. A page tab app.
You need to parse the signed_request that facebook passes to your application and once you have parsed it you will be able to see if the user has liked your page or not.
Here is a link to some more information about singed_requests
I have an app and I am using ShareKit for sharing in Facebook. I am able to share URLs, images and texts to FB using that. But why did the link/url share do not work the same way as when I share a url from Web Facebook. I have got many contents like image in my url and while doing the Share through web I am able to see the image and a small portion of content, but while I am doing it from iPhone using ShareKit, it just gives the heading/title and we need to click on that link(no images or contents).
If anyone know the solution, please help.
When you share a link on the Facebook site it will automatically fetch the URL and display some appropriate images that you can choose from. However, when directly interacting with the API this won't happen. You must provide the image yourself (or Facebook may use the image associated with your application). ShareKit may abstract this away from you, so you might want to look into using the Facebook SDK and Graph APIs directly.
I fixed the issue. Instead of posting(POST) the attachment dialog, just use GET method in the load function and pass the link you want to share. :)
