when I try to create the "like" app for my website,it says that it cannot find the page.
I even copied and pasted my name to it. I want to be able to post from it and it will show up on my website. http:/facebook.com/thevisalusbody is what I am trying to get an app for
You can't create like buttons for user pages. You would have to convert your user profile to a fan page using Facebook's tool.

I would like to have my app post to facebook and then when "friends" see the link, they can click on it and since it is a deeplink, clicking on it would take the user to the app store if the app isnt downloaded otherwise it would take them to the correct page of the app. Would this need approval from Facebook?
No approval needed, but in most cases this is currently not possible — Facebook has decided to block the functionality. The best option is to post a link pointing to a page on your website, and then open your app from there.
In other words, you can't open a link from the news feed and have it launch the app. However you can open a link to your website, and once the website is open you can launch your app successfully from there. This is the approach we currently use at Branch.io
the website im working on, is a buying and selling website, a user can post in a certain channel (electronics for example), and buyers can view it and express their interest. a user can view posts, and share a certain post through facebook or twitter. now i have done the share with facebook part and its working fine, but to share i have 2 options (or thats what i could find through out the search) it's either i share normally, a link, OR share via my app on facebook, and i want to do the via thingy. when i press share, the share tab opens and everything is fine except that the link to be share is not there, i dont want the user to type it in or copy it, i just want it to be automatically there!
that's the code i used, it takes my app id, and the app domain.
share through facebook
Looks like you are missing the "link" parameter in your share link - which is why the link isn't showing up for you.

I have an app inside of facebook and in that app you sign up for something and you get a personal link you can share with people to see your profile...how do I get that link inside of facebook?
An example might be in order to make this make more sense. App lives on my server
http://example.com/app
you sign up and get a profile page
http://example.com/app/my/profile/123
I don't want to give people THAT link, because this app is for facebook only, so the page really needs to be something like facebook.com/mypage/appId/my/profile/123
tl;dr want people to directly link to a specific page inside my facebook app and I'm not sure how to do that or if it's even possible
If I understand your question correctly, instead of using http://example.com/app/my/profile/123 try using your Facebook App URL like this http://apps.facebook.com/app/my/profile/123
You know the publishing apps on Facebook: "Published via ____".
I've see a few times where when you click on the app name, it goes directly to the provider's website? (For example, if I clicked on it, it would direct to www.mywebsite.com)
For the life of me, I can't figure out how they make that work. Can't find a setting in the developer app.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
This is just done via a facebook page or application. If you create the facebook application, and post content via the application, it will automatically show the "Published via ..." at the bottom.
What it does is redirect you to the application page (so FB can track the number of clicks) then it will auto redirect to the website url page specified in the application settings.
Here is a tutorial
My company has developed two pages that we would like to publish on a clients facebookpage. These pages are hosted at my company, and are basic webpages but with a width of 520 pixels with facebook in mind.
I have created two apps in the facebook developer section, and I have filled in my url there and set it to publish as a page tab. I also set the namespace to a unique name and uploaded an icon.
when I'm looking at the app, I can't find a button like publish it on a profile page, and when I'm looking at client's facebook page (where I have been made an admin of), I can go to the apps but not browse to a custom made one to link mine to the facebook page
Try using this link to add the tab to your (client's) page:
