I made a very simple Facebook application in PHP that retrives information about the current logged user (it looks in cookies). I am interested in retrieving information from another Facebook application: deezer, deezer facebook application. Do you have any idea of how can I access this information (from deezer, e.g. the favourite music of the current user)? From your experience, what's the approach of learning how to develop Facebook applications?
Thanks!
You would probably have to contact Deezer regarding services into their database. If a user has installed your Facebook application, then it would be my assumption that you have been given some sort of unique id that identifies the user. If Deezer allows it, you could give them that unique id and they could return the users music profile. If you look at thei site, Deezer does provide an API.

I haven't look into using facebook to login stuff.. Before I begin my project, I would like to know whether should I develop the system using email sign up and log in first? or it's needless because I may redo everything when I chose to add login via facebook later?
Unless you know for certain that you are going to get users without Facebook, you can leave the normal email sign-up.
Once a user has logged into your app using Facebook you can access most of the details you would normally ask during normal signup (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/). But you'll need to take in to consideration that while for the time-being Facebook has many users, in the future it may not always be like this, and you'll need to have a back-up sign-up system in place if you expect your app to be used for a long time.
It is not too difficult to add the Facebook login on top of already existing login functionality and you can use the data you gain from the Facebook login to still implement your normal login.

I'm developing an application and I would love it to be in the intuit anywhere app center portal.
However, I'm confused regarding the open Id requirements.
My understanding is that I must be enable the users to have an account automatically set up in my application when they login through open Id. Right?
But what if I need more information than just email/name? For example, country?
Is the recommended pattern to ask for the extra info right after the user logs in for the first time through open Id?
Also, what is the consequence if a user has already registered through my own application "normal" registration mechanism? Is that ok or all users must be authenticated through open Id?
You see, for my app, connecting to Quickbooks should be possible, however, not all my users will use Quickbooks, and so that should only be an extra option for users that have a Quickbooks account.
Thanks
My understanding is that I must be enable the users to have an account
automatically set up in my application when they login through open
Id. Right?
Correct.
But what if I need more information than just email/name?
Then you can prompt them to enter more information when they first sign in.
Also, what is the consequence if a user has already registered through
my own application "normal" registration mechanism?
That's fine, you can log them in to their normal account then.

I want to display the correct user language on my Facebook app when the user denies the permissions. How can I do this? I want to achieve this without using the automatic translation process of facebook, I need to have my own translation.
What are we talking about here, app on a website or canvas/page tab?
For the latter, the signed_request contains user.locale, even if the user has not authorized the app yet.
For a website app, there is no data available if the user hasn’t connected to the app yet (AFAIK). In that case you could only see what their client sends in the Accept-Language HTTP request header.

Is there a way I can get a poll to show up on both my wordpress site and facebook.
Do I need to use a facebook app?
Could I create an iframe to show up on the facebook page?
I'm not exactly sure if this poll will just show up on the homepage of a facebook page or if the poll will be something in the news feed. I am just trying to do initial research.
Most of my searched brings up polldaddy.com
I am currently using wp-polls, could I create a custom interface to have it show up on facebook?
1) Yes.
2) Yes
3) When creating Facebook Applications, iFrames are used by default, pointing to the location of your app on the server you specified in your Application Settings
4) Applications themselves cannot appear on a Facebook Profile page. You can generate Links and Status Messages (among other things) for users that approve your app which CAN appear in the user's Timeline/Profile Page
5) Depending on what you want to spend, Woobox is a good one too.
6) Yes. Since Applications are just iFrames, you can style the page on which you want your poll to appear to look however you like. Though, on Facebook, it will still reside ONLY on its corresponding application page.
You will want to look into the Javascript SDK or the PHP SDK for more information on how to set up a UI for your Facebook App to interact with Facebook itself.

I want to add Facebook "Like" functionality to a native mobile app i.e. Not one running in a browser.
I can retrieve the Likes for an item from the Graph API but I cannot see how to POST a "Like" operation using that API. How do I do that?
Am I going to have do have a browser control hidden with the app that uses an IFRAME?
TIA
Pat
According to the Facebook graph api documentation, you can like any object that has a /likes connection by posting to https://graph.facebook.com/OBJECT_ID/likes. This would work for friends posts, comments, etc.
But I don't believe there is an API to "like" a page (become a fan) and probably won't be because it would be abused by spammers. You will need to embed an web view control in your application for this.
