I'm trying to embed a facebook like box to my website and am using the facebook developer like box too. I find that when pasting in the facebook page no activity, posts or anything appears in the box.
I've tried testing using different facebook pages and it works fine for those. Just not the facebook I want.
I'm really not sure why the facebookpage is https://www.facebook.com/thelopesarms?fref=ts
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you
I had the same problem.
Clear all your cache.
It's like a recent problem on like-box. But after I fixed with this, my plugin shows one more face than before :S
Does anyone know how to add "like box" container to header of my application like here?
This one:
There you can find all tools and api which facebook offer for developers:
http://developers.facebook.com/
Likebox is there too.
here is official facebook info. There is also code around to enable more social media sites like this.
I want to create a simple app for facebook, something like axa insurance
They have a folder competition, where you click on that folder which then displays an image which you can share. Any ideas how to do this? I have no idea from where to start. Can anyone provide any assistance or any tutorials on it? it would be highly appreciated.
You first need to create page tab app here: http://developers.facebook.com/
Facebook app are now a simple iframe pointing to whatever you want!
A couple of details:
you should have an ssl certificate for https user (otherwise it'll
give a warning when the user will be on your tab app)
Adding the app to your page is not really intuitive, take a look over here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/add_to_page/ - under Direct URL Example to know how to do it!
Here's a tutorial about it
http://query2arijeet.com/2012/02/16/installing-your-iframe-application-on-your-fan-page-2012-iframe-facebook-apps/
You can google around "create facebook app for fan page 2012" or something like that!
I am building a website for a client. He has a Facebook page for his business. On the homepage of his site, he wants a feed that will pull in all the updates from his business' Facebook page.
Now, I felt this would be very easy to implement (maybe it is) but I have scoured the Facebook API for any simple way to do this. I am having a lot of trouble understanding which way I should do this. I've settled on using JS to access it, but have no idea where to go from there.
Do I need to create an app? If so, which options do I select so I can access the clients facebook page?
How do I get my app that I've created to show up so a user can authorize it? I have so many questions, and Facebook isn't very good at giving me answers.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I would suggest you just use the facebook page's RSS feed.
Example
Take his page URL e.g.
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lazery-Attack/6001014870
Take the number at the end of the url off, and plug it into the facebook feeds URL e.g.
https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id=6001014870
Voila, you now have an RSS feed you can integrate into the website you are building.
URL Breakdown
The URL is broken down the following way:
https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format={feedFormat}&id={PageID}
Vaid feed formats are:
RSS - rss20
Atom - atom10
JSON - json
Other Examples
Atom
https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=atom10&id=6001014870
JSON
https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=json&id=6001014870
Take a look at the facebook API, right here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/page/
You can give it a try here:
http://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/?method=GET&path=19292868552%2Fposts
The like box: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/ also has the latest posts available
The simplest way is to add a Like Button to the page and make sure "show Stream" is checked on as this will show all recent posts. You can customise the appearance also (e.g. width, height etc).
No App or messy API calls needed!
Try it out here and simply paste the resulting code into your webpage:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/
Not an app, but the Facebook Social Plugins over here at Facebook For Pages
I am developing an iPhone application, and want it to be able to post a message to Facebook, by using the Facebook app.
Is there a custom URL to do this?
I've found this page that has a list of Facebook commands, but it doesn't say how to post a new message...
The URL to post a new message to the wall is
fb://publish/?text=some text to post
This works with Facebook app 4.1... I don't know if it works with older versions.
This answer might help you... Especially this : fb://messaging/compose
If you are talking about using a feed post then you have to do this:
[facebook dialog:#"feed" andDelegate:self];
See here for more info
Also if your making this a mobile web app then you could try this:
http://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?
client_id=YOUR_APP_ID&redirect_uri=YOUR_URL&display=touch
More info on web app
You could also just use Sharekit, that gives your users the option what to share. Otherwise, you'll have to use the FBDialog from the facebook-ios-sdk or a matching webview using the URL given by the other posters
The method you mention, directly calling the facebook app, a) requires the app to be installed (usually not the case on iPads, for example) and b) is not officially supported by facebook - the two other ways are.
