I am really trying to understand how to add a like box to my website I was able to copy the code for the Facebook platform and paste it into my website programmer, but that was not what I wanted that like box was for people to like Facebook platform. I want a platform for my website which is www.datgoodstuff.com.
I tried to change the url and the Facebook Page URL but this is what pop up:
[Could not retrieve id for the specified page. Please verify correct href was passed in.]
Can you please help me out
You need to look at the tools within the facebook developer API where it gives pre-defined plugins for things like like buttons.
You provide the link to your page/group etc, and facebook with generate the scipt code to insert into your website.
As described in the docs,
The Like Box is a social plugin that enables Facebook Page owners to attract and gain Likes from their own website.
You need a Facebook fan page not a website to use the Like Box. Consider using the Recent Activity or Recommendations Plugin

I have read through the documentation on how to set up the Facebook Registration Plugin. In reading I saw that there are what facebook calls named fields and custom fields. What I am looking for is a check box that says "Like us on facebook". If that is clicked and the form is submitted the user auto likes our page.
I would think that there would be a field in named fields area that does this.
Some of the research I have done suggests that forcing an auto like on a user is black hat and could result in the deletion of your facebook page. This registration plugin seems like a good way to get the user to opt in to facebook marketing. Yes I could auto like them on submit if the box is checked but then how would facebook know that I have permission to do this.
Does anyone have a "white hat" solution to "liking" a facebook page within a form besides the obvious facebook like box plugin?
This is not possible.
Yes I could auto like them on submit
How would you do that? I can't think of a way to "Like" a Facebook Page programatically!
To be able to like a page, you'll need to get extended permissions from the user and use the Graph API's Publishing Feature. However, this can't be done using the Registration Social Plugin.
As I said you will need to use the Graph API to authenticate the user, while doing that you will need to request permission to publish_stream which will allow you to like your page after authentication by making a Graph POST request to Like the object.
However, although you can do this, it is far more complex than the Registration Plugin, it requires more steps and much more work on your end. However, if you really want to do it, it is certainly possibly.
I have a site where users share documents, and I set a Facebook comment box for each document, with different URL for separate comments (more than 200k!).
What it's the easiest way to moderate comments without enter in each document URL? As I can read, I need a Facebook App ID, but I can't find the way to get it, and also I don't need a full facebook app, I only want moderation. It's possible to set the admin ID in the plugin to a fan page and moderate all from them?
Thank you
My dear you need to have an APP ID. While getting the process of APP ID (making an application in facebook developers) you just need to enter your email address as developer of facebook. Then just put facebook comment box plugin and you will see the plugin shows a link "Administer Comment" below the post button. Click on that button you will see a small window where you can set your moderator.
This is qutite simple.
you can moderate facebook comment in Comments Evolved for WordPress plugin, we just need to create facebook app id, and have to edit wordpress header.php.
I had just shared a post on this you can refer it...
Enable Comments Evolved Pluging for Moderate Facebook Comment in WordPress.
I have a Facebook like button on my website, however as it works currently it only lets users like the page that they are currently on. Is it possible to make the button like our Facebook page instead of our website?
Go to the developers page which provides Social Plugin. There, just add at the "URL to Like" of the button, the address of your facebook page. E.g. http://www.facebook.com/mypage
This way, once the users push the like button, your facebook page will get automatically a like and they will also follow the updates of the facebook page
You can use the badge creator to create a badge for your page that a user can interact with for "like" purposes.
you could try this page this might work better for you, they can like the facebook page direct on your site http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/
This is because you haven't put your right page url in facebook like box generator. Go to you facebook page and copy the link from there. Now use this to generate facebook like box. You can also get help from this http://www.codematrics.com/my-website-and-facebook-page-have-different-likes/
I am adding the Facebook like plugin onto my website, and from what I understand, when a user clicks 'like' the URL of the current page or a specified page is posted on their wall.
Is it possible to have them join a Facebook page at the same time?
The like button plugin is for adding external pages to the Social Graph. If you want to have users Like your actual Facebook page from your external Web site, then the plugin you're looking for is the Like Box. You can customise various elements of it to add/remove features such as a live feed of your page or a facepile of people who like you page etc.
I don't think that this is possible. Have a separate Like Plugin for your Facebook Page.
This is not possible. The Like feature you add to your website is for a specified URL for the user to Like. The Facebook Like is for the Facebook page only. You can't automatically get a webpage outside of Facebook to Like a Facebook page. If this was possible, it would be an abuse to their system.
I would like to do a couple of things with my website that would intergrate elements of Facebook.
The first is to embed my status (from a Facebook Fan Page) to my website
The second is to embed events that I've created on Facebook into my website and if possible allow users to RSVP instantly.
I know some basic html so all the help and any help would be great.
Thank You
try googling for the facebook social plugins where they give you plugin codes that you can insert in your site [plain html scripts] so that you get your facebook status etc..
