I am trying to do the following:
I already have a menu with several drop downs in wicket right now. However the number of entries have become very large in the drop downs, one has to remember headers under which a particular page exists. I would like to create a landing page, which would have a search bar in which we can type in the page name and I should be redirected to the desired page.
Can anybody give me any pointers of how to proceed with this one? Thanks!
You can consider to use AutoCompleteTextField to show user the available pages. Then, after user has selected a page, you can redirect him/her to the page.
I'm working on a site for a client. The site is built in Joomla and is using a Facebook like button on each page. When a user clicks a like button it unclicks itself after a second or two.
I've seen several similar problems here but none have provided enough insight to help me figure out what to do to fix this problem.
I ran the page through the Facebook debugger:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.theartoflove.net%2Findex.php%2F9-blog%2Fmen%2F27-go-ahead-and-ask-her-out
but I don't have a clue how to figure out what that result is telling me. The URL I used as a test in the debugger is:
http://www.theartoflove.net/index.php/9-blog/men/27-go-ahead-and-ask-her-out
Anyone know what I need to do to fix this problem? It seems to happen regardless of what like box I put on the site (I've tried three different ones so far).
My sincere thanks for any help!
When I clicked the like button, a small 'CONFIRM' link appeared under the "Like" widget, i had to click the 'CONFIRM' link (which brought up a dialog box asking me to confirm that I liked the page) in order to get the "Like" to stick.
See image
Facebook sometimes makes the arbitrary determination that your page is 'spammy' and adds extra precautions like 'CONFIRM'. That may be part of what is going on.
The code is reentrant and the developer is flipping the bit instead of verifying the current state with a conditional before setting the value. (This is a common coding mistake. Too common.)
I implemented the like-button on the page http://www.racket-center.de on every subpage of this site. I noticed that it didn't show up on every page so I tried different implementation-versions (html5, iframe etc) but it didn't work. If I remember correctly the more I tried the less pages the button appeared on.
Now the button doesn't show up anymore – not even within the wizard at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ You can try it yourself: if you enter the URL of the site + then change another option to get the wizard checking the url the like-button will disappear.
I tried to debug via the linter and fixed some minor warnings it complained (e.g. adjusting the og:image-size to fit 200x200px) but that didn't bring back the button.
I guess the page is kind of blacklisted but I don't know + if it was blacklisted I don't know why.
Does anybody have a clue what might be going on here or kind point me to any resource about fb's blacklists?
Would be nice to get some help.
Thx,
Michael
We are using a facebook like button on a gallery page. When you click the like button, the parent page information is provided instead of the "item" information - but when the link is shared individually on facebook, it pulls the right information.
I tried using Facebook's debug tool, and it pulls the correct information.. the issue seems to be when its on the page. I've checked the meta info and it all looks right...
Any ideas?
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
Put in the correct sub-link and generate the like button again > Test it first, directly in the like button generator.
If the data is shown correctly in the debugger, then i am pretty sure the problem is that you don´t use the correct/same link in the like button. It would be important to see your usage of the like button. It´s possible that you have an escape character problem, so only the basic link is used.
Dear all, I have a question about Facebook Page: (NOT user profile page, I mean a facebook page where you can become a fan)
How to add a customized box at the bottom left side of wall tab?
(I am the page creator/admin)
Please don't just give an answer "add the box to the page". Cause I really don't know how.
Also, it seems that putting $facebook->api_client->profile_setFBML and $facebook->api_client->profile_setInfo for the application won't provide a way for the page to add the box.
Below is an example image that is done by the other. I have circled the box at the image. I would like to know how to do the same to the page that I owned. Many thanks for reading.

$facebook->api_client->profile_setFBML
is absolutely correct afair. Go to the App Page and Add the App to your Fan Page. It will most properbly appear in the Boxes Tab.
// get the fbml for the box
$main_box = $this->render();
// the first main_box is actually deprecated feel free not to use it
$this->facebook->api_client->profile_setFBML($main_box, PAGE_ID, $main_box, NULL, $main_box, $main_box);
// for easier workflow forward the user directly to the page
$this->facebook->redirect(PAGE_URL);
But as said by others in this thread in 90% of the cases the Static FBML App by Facebook does the job.
Unreality's answer helped me best but one clarification is needed. These boxes can be added only to "Pages" that you have admin rights to. You cannot add one of these boxes to your profile page from what I can see. (Anybody? Prove me wrong, please!)
You write an application that has a box. You add the box to the page, then move the box to the page's wall.
For example, I moved the Notes box on my app's page to my wall so you could see it:
http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=96193636102
Update, with more info:
In general, the way you do this is you add a function to your app that creates a block of fbml and passes it to setFBML(), using your page's ID instead of a user ID as the destination.
I'm planning to do this myself to add some summary statistics to my app's profile page, but that has to wait til after working hours.
I have found the answer. It's using the static fbml made from facebook
http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=4949752878&ref=s
Go there, click "add to my page", and pick your page.
Then goto your own page, and click "Edit page", then you will find FBML under the applications.
Click the pencil at the FBML box top right, select edit.
Then at the edit page, just write something up and save the changes
Next go back to your own page. Goto the "Boxes" tab, you will find the FBML box that you have just made.
Click the pencil button at the FBML box, select "Move to Wall Tab", and then done! Happy FaceBooking!
As far as I understand the profile boxes will be removed soon.
