does anyone have worked with the Facebook registration plugin?
+ http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/registration/
I'ld like to know if it's possible to create a username for my site with it like "example.com/users/username".
Also can the entered data (custom data for my site) edited later or just by sign up?
Thank you.
Yes, and Yes!
You can create a username and even check it before submitting the FB form, please refer to the Facebook registration advanced document.
Also you should be storing the data returned by the Facebook plugin in your database! with that in mind, you (obviously) can edit these data.
I've written a tutorial a while back about using the Facebook Registration Plugin that could help you too.

I want to create an iphone application that can send value on the text field to the website page such as a comment. When I click submit my comment, the comment will show on the website. The website doesn't provide an API and it is not my website. Can i do that? Any ideas?
Thanks
A lot of websites will prevent you from sending POST or GET data from an external source as a security measure - so it's usually not going to be as simple as that.
It's probably not a feasible idea unless you can gain access to the website, and you say it's not your website. If you did have access to the website, or an agreement to upload a web service on their site, it would be a very simple matter.
You can create the form with the same input fields and submit to the same form handler. No API is required to submit a form.
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'm using the Facebook Javascript SDK and fbml like-buttons. Using the 'edge.create' callback I know when someone has liked an url. Is it possible to get the facebook-user-id as well? Without them having to log into my App/Domain with FB Connect
I would like to double-store likes for internal statistics (since it's hard to get very fine grain domain statistics via facebook.com/insights)

That information is not available to developers through any of the facebook API's. You might want to store the uid's locally when the user clicks a like button.
Hope that helps.

Nope, it is not possible to get a users id simply from them clicking on a like button.
I'm not sure why you would even need a users id to simply help you track like button clicks, if you need some sort of unique identifier try using sessions or a cookie.

For this you need to use LinkedIn API.
I was wondering if there is a way to link your facebook account to another website, so you don't have to log in every time just to post a status update.
I'd like to link the profile when they sign up and then have it just be there to connect to whenever.
CLARIFICATION: Sorry I typed this fast.. here's what I'd like to do.. build an application where you sign up for that application.. you also have the option to link your facebook profile to this account. If you decide to link it, you can post updates, etc to your facebook profile.
You will never have to log into (connect) to facebook again after you link it to the app.. all you need to do is log into the third-party application.
Thanks,
Matt Mueller
Need clarification. You can link logging into another website to Facebook. What exactly are you trying to do?
you question, to be honest isn't very clear, but maybe you need facebook restful api so check http://developers.facebook.com and look for it.
