is it possible to have something like this in a simple manor without loosing any sort of functionality from the ordinary wall? (doing just a comment section within an iframe isn't what i mean...).
Example:
I do understand that one can't have that under "Wall" but need to create a separat "tab" for it. I'm just leaning for it to be the same as the wall but with my own small addon.
Is there any examples of somthing very similar or an example of someone including a real wall with all functionalities etc?
To do this you would have to create a Page Tab app. It will take a lot of work to recreate the wall layout via the API calls, but it can be done. To get wall postings you just HTTP GET me/home via the Graph API using a page access token. There's a lot to learn, so take it slowly in managable steps.
Here's a jQuery example of recreating the wall:

I've been looking at OpenGraph API and other FB Developers documentation, but can't really see if it's possible to attach FB "Like" and/or "Share" buttons to snippets of data on a page.
I've only ever seen whole page implementations. I.e. when you "Like" a blog article for example, you're actually liking a specific page (the blog post). However, I have several pieces of information on a single page (they don't link anywhere) and wondered if I could get my users to interact with that? So they'd be liking a section within a page? Using anchors to link back..
Is this possible or does it not even make sense?

It looks that you are looking for "social interaction web tracking". Take a look here http://www.seosandwitch.com/2013/03/how-to-track-facebook-likes-in-google.html?m=1
Is there any way I can create comments related to my object, without using the comments plugin? The Facebook Graph API seems like the correct way, but can I link to an object on my web site without actually "posting" that object as a post on facebook? Amazingly, I can't find anyone on the Net with this problem, so perhaps I'm simply doing it wrong.
I'm trying to post to:
https://graph.facebook.com/comments/?ids=http://iesgroup.ca/myappbeta/Item/1799633&message=test&access_token....
I do have the publish_stream permission in the access_token. All I get back is "An unknown error has occurred".
Essentially, I have set up my own web site using the Open Graph protocols. Each item that I have has its own URL with the proper OG tags. For each item, I am able to fetch the comments that facebook has associated with it. But I am unable to actually attach new comments to that object, without using the facebook comment plugin. I'm using my own look-and-feel commenting system, so I am not interested in using facebook's module. I'm using the JavaScript API to fetch the existing comments.
Note, that if I use the Open Graph protocol, users are able to post actions to their timeline, but not actually associate new comments to the object.
Thoughts? Thanks.
The only way I know of is to use the Facebook Graph API and have a Facebook website application and use server-side code to directly re-post comments from your website to the facebook page on an existing Facebook object. It is much more in-depth than the simple Open Graph implementation. But if you don't want to use Facebook's comment module, I don't see any other option. This is a link to the area of making comments, http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/Comment/ , but this is only useful after you have everything else set up. This is a huge undertaking to get your website to this point, but you will have full control over every aspect of how you interact with Facebook, cause you write your own code. Here is a link to the top level of the FB Graph API so you can read more about it. http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/

I have a website that allows people to post events and it automatically posts their events to facebook if they so choose. I also integrated facebook comments on the event pages on my website.
Is it possible to merge the comments that people leave on my website's event pages with the comments that people leave on the facebook event page that was automatically made for them? I can't seem to find any documentation on this.
Edit: Just to clarify: The comments on my website are done via the facebook-comments API, they are not a module of my application.
Adding a separate answer, as after clarification it's significantly different.
If you want to basically have the wall of your event show up on your website, you can use the Event API to pull in wallposts and display them. To be able to post to that wall, you would have to do some custom coding to authenticate the user with publish_stream permission and then have a form on your site that would post to the event's wall, as noted in the post section of the above link.
Someone may have done this already and put code out there, but I doubt there is an easier way to get your ideal situation up and running. This use case isn't as automagic as the comments box, unfortunately.
If you're just looking to spread your events socially, however, the comments box will post to the commenters' walls with a link to your event page, which can then in turn point them to the Faecbook event. You might be able to use the Facebook event's URL as the URL for your comment box on the website, so it would just post a link directly to the Facebook event, but I'm not sure on that one.
I looked at this in my app, and we ended up deciding to just maintain separate streams. This is because it's only a one-way integration - you can get comments from Facebook via the Graph API and format them on your own website, in-line with your website comments, but there's no way to push comments from your website up to Facebook.
You could, if you wanted, just use the Facebook comment form for all comments - this has been done by big sites such as TechCrunch, and is effective, but it requires users to have a Facebook, AOL, Yahoo, or Hotmail account. Whether you want to do that or not depends on your preferences and userbase.
there a tool that combines comments form different pages or different sources
Check https://feedgun.com which works on pulling comments from different sources like YouTube videos, existing wordpress sites, facebook comments plugins and even DIsqus account and combine them all together and publish them on any of your webpages, and it all works automatically once you set them where to pull and where to publish.
I need a wordpress plugin to automatically post every article to a facebook fan page I own.
==old question==
In my wordpress blog I'd like a "subscribe with facebook" button that lets a user subscribe to my posts, so that they appear on their profile on facebook (something like an RSS subscription..)
Is there anything like this? How could I do something similar in wordpress easily?
Maybe we could find a way to automatically post new articles to a facebook fan page, and then users could easily subscribe to that fan page. Is it possible?
All of what you describe is technically possible, although you do run a risk of running afoul of Facebook Platform Policy violations which will get your app shut down by Facebook.
The approach of posting to a fan page is much safer from a policy perspective.
I recommend a close reading of the Platform Policies section IV at https://developers.facebook.com/policy/
To post to the wall you will need the offline_access and publish_stream extended permissions.
I do not know if there is a WordPress plugin for this already or if you need to whip one up yourself.
You ask if there is anything like this, and RSS Graffiti seems to be what you are looking for.
If you want to roll your own, you can write to your Page feed using the Graph API. It is more work than it seems at first though, as you have to keep the oauth token updated (it can change even if it is long lasting, for example when you change your Facebook password), take care of getting correct permissions etc.
I want to integrate a friends website (photographer) with Facebook. I've been trying to find the answer in the Facebook Developers guide, but it doesn't seem clear to me.
What would I need if:
I want to have a like button per photo album he has
I want to publish his news that he enters in my cms to his facebook wall
Do I need an application? Or can I accomplish this with plugins?
Thanks in advance.
the like button can just be added by inserting a code snipped
facebook will take care of the rest.
if you however want to do more with your liked pages like send updates and have statistics, you need to register an app and supply the app id as meta tag in your website. the open graph notation is used.
to publish news post you can obtain a permament token and publish using the graph api, but there are also alternative and probably easier methods
You should keep it simple and be able to accomplish these with just plugins... FB's documentation is quite rich:
In here it explains how to add the like button:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/web
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like
And this to post to his wall:
