I have a facebook app which has feed dialog link. on Clicking the link the feed dialog opens up. I try to customize the friends who shall be able see the wallpost. This opens up the custom privacy dialog, but closes the feed dialog. So I cannot move forward with the wall post.
This happens when:
The app is being used as a page tab AND
The display mode is iframe.
This does not happens if:
The app is being used as an app (apps.facebook.com/app_name) OR
The display mode is popup.
Please advice...
there is currently a bug in facebooks feed dialogs and the privacy dropdown... facebook should sort this out soon. In addition, you should report this issue here.

I've set up an app on facebook, and it is now live. Everything is working as expected and I can use the FB JS SDK to trigger a feed popup dialog, which also works great.
The problem is when I try to trigger a share popup dialog. In the dialog it states:
Some people may not be able to see this attachment because of its privacy settings.
The link itself is pretty simple, and is in the form of:
http://www.facebook.com/dialog/share?display=popup&app_id={app_id}&link={redirect url - same url as the app}&picture={some jpg - same domain as app}&name={name}&caption={caption}&description={description}
I've looked over all the settings of the app, it's a page app not a canvas app, and nothing seems to be out of place. What should I do?
I have a problem with the Facebook Like button to where if a person is an admin of multiple pages / account, instead of the button displaying it shows a small box with a "Switch" link and the person's image. The same as explained here... http://developers.facebook.com/bugs/111826392293111/
I am using the default code provided by Facebook, not any special code. Any ideas or unfixable bug?
if you get the "switch link", than you're currently using facebook as a page and therefore can't access the social plugin. go back to facebook.com, change your identity back to your user profile and reload the page with the social plugin. it's not a bug in your implementation or from facebook at all.
Just use: data-height="60" data-width="60" for example, and limit the expansion of the box.
I have a simple site with a playlist-driven flash movie player.
the site is NOT a facebook app.
when a user clicks a video to watch from the playlist, that video's title, description, and thumbnail are registered in javascript variables.
the site also has a facebook button for sharing. If the user hits the fb share button while video_123 is playing then the video_123-info should show up when the share posts to the user's fb wall.
the only problem is that the http://www.facebook.com/dialog/feed seems to require a app_id, but my site is not a fb app.
any suggestions please?
thanks.
You should have application to use Dialogs.
Just create an application configure it pointing to your site (without configuring application canvas) and use Feed Dialog
Update:
If you must not create application for any reasons the only option for you is to use Facebook Share button (which is deprecated) see "Creating Your Own Share URL" section...
Update 2:
Share button is deprecated and it's documentation is no longer available (link above redirects to documentation of Feed Dialog, old page on web-archive)
I am using this url to direct my mobile web page to a facebook wall post dialog page, however I can't seem to get display=wap to work.
http://m.facebook.com/dialog/feed?app_id=<myappId>&redirect_uri=<myRedirectUri>&link=<myLink>&display=<wap|touch>&picture=<myPicture>&caption=<myCaption>&description=<myDescription>&name=<myName>
Using display=touch works fine on most devices except some blackberries I've tested, where the dialog page is blank except for the "Publish" and "Cancel" buttons. When I use display=wap, I get "An error has occured" no matter what I do.
Does facebook support this feed dialog with display=wap? I found this url on their developer's web page here:
Facebook Dialogs
Under the heading labeled : Mobile Display Modes
I'd appreciate any advice!
Currently we don't support the feed dialog in display=wap. Sorry.
I'm new to facebook app development and i cant seem to figure this out. I have a simple app i made (an iframe website) that i want to add to a tab on my facebook page. When i try to click on the + tab to add it to my page i only have a few options of youtube, events, fbml... When i do a search absolutely nothing comes up unless i search for those items i just mentioned before (youtube, events, fbml).
Type this into your browser's url bar with the appropiate ids. (I already assume you have configured the app settings for page tab urls,etc).
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=YOUR_APP_ID&next=YOUR_URL
See https://developers.facebook.com/docs/appsonfacebook/pagetabs/ for a full explanation.
