Hey Guys, so Ive created a Facebook page, no content as yet, really, i would like to know if it is possible and if so, how do I set it to be accessible from eg: www.facebook.com/mypage ?
Thanks in advance
Your page needs to have at least 25 fans, before you can create a custom name for it. For more info, read the official Facebook note on Usernames for Facebook Pages.

Hope you can help with the below, which I've spent most of this weekend trying to resolve but to no avail.
I use a social share and vote plugin on my website, which works perfectly for G+ Twitter Pinterest etc etc. However my facebook like button simply does not want to work.
Example, yesterday I posted this on my websites facebook page.
https://www.facebook.com/116091541779464/photos/a.496114153777199.1073741829.116091541779464/696621417059804/?type=1
As you can see, this links to this page of my website which has its like, share, +1 counts etc at the bottom: http://www.superluigibros.com/evolution-of-mario
As you can see from the Facebook post it has 85 likes. Yet the website shows only 1 like?
The social plugin that I use asks for an App ID. I have created, and activated an App in Facebook and put the App ID in the relevant field of the plugin.
However I am not sure that the App is actually set up properly on the Facebook side, or maybe it lacks the permission to actually count the likes?
The only other point of note is that I am using another Facebook widget (the one that shows who likes our page) in a seperate module. Could this be conflicting in some way?
If anyone could help would be greatly appreciated. I really dont understand whats up with it
Best regards
Luke
This is the case because those are two completely different things:
On http://www.superluigibros.com/evolution-of-mario the number of likes is the number of times the URL was liked
With https://www.facebook.com/116091541779464/photos/a.496114153777199.1073741829.116091541779464/696621417059804/?type=1 you just posted an image also present on your page to your Facebook pages. The like count show the likes only for this image
So, what you need to do is to add the OpenGraph tags properly to your website, as described at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/using-objects#selfhosted-creating Then, you shouldn't share just an image on your Facebook page's feed, but the URL instead. FB will then pull the content for the image etc. from your website upon sharing.
The like counter in your facebook post is handled separately from the likes of your website page. Each "like" that your post receive doesn't count towards the site's like counter.
EDIT: I've just tested your site's like counter, and it's counting correctly as I have just liked it myself.
I'm new to Facebook Sharing API. When I put the Facebook Share button in my website, both the message and the title are the URL. Here's the screenshot:
There's even no thumbnails even though there's plenty of pictures in the page.
I have seen other pages that automatically use the first paragraph as the Facebook's message
Is there any specific site layout that I must follow?
Note: I'm using AddThis, so I don't think I can change the code
Thanks
The problem solved when I uploaded the site on Online server. Maybe the API has problem retrieving data from Localhost.
Cheers :)

Like-Buttons are restricted by fb. To realize your project you have to start a request on graph.facebook if the user is likinig your... whatever.
i'm doing a website and i want my visitors to leave a comment but instead of showing the tipical gravatar, i want to display their tumblr avatar just by putting their URL.
See, i'm using wordpress, there's a plugin for that but it's for twitter only.
does anyone know what i need to change to make it work for tumblr?
The plug in is called Twitter Avatar reloaded
i tried to change the tumblr API but id didn't work or does anyone know another method?
i'm kind of desperate, i just want to grab the tumblr avatar like in this website tumblrplug.com
Thanks i'd really appreciate any solution!

I just created a Facebook application that basically creates a new Tab on my Facebook-profile-page and loads contents from my website in an inline frame. Now I got to the point that I added the application to my profile page with a simple link like http://facebook.com/add.php?api_key=APP_ID&pages=1. But how can I prevent others from just doing the same and using my app on their pages then?
Thanks in advance!
Aha! You know the page that it is supposed to belong to, so hard code that in your app's code and you can check the page id coming in from the signed_request and see if that page id is yours. If not, send down not permitted in your response HTML. If it is your page, then response down the good HTML. :)
For more information on signed_request see: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/signed_request/
