I have a Facebook profile of my own, and asociated to this Facebook profile I have a Facebook fan page,,, and I developed a Facebook application that now days is published on Facebook.
What I want is to asociate this Facebook App not to my profile but to my fan page... I mean,,, I know that so I can create a Facebook App or a Facebook Fan Page I've to have a Facebook profile account but I would like to know if I can asociate the Facebook App only to be visible throught the Page...
Your only option is to make the application non-functional for other pages and users. You can do this by checking the POST variables (specifically fb_sig_page_id) to determine which Page you are on (or if you're on a Page at all). If the page ID doesn't match your page, just display a message.
Since applications automatically have Pages of their own created by Facebook, you can't prevent users from becoming fans/liking the application Page. This is one of the problems of the Facebook platform.
An alternative is to use the application Page as the official Facebook Page. This is what I've done with someecards (shameless plug). The application acts as the official presence on Facebook, so the official Page and the application are the same.

I have a Facebook page with 50K+ likes on it and a separate website, when analysed with Moz, that only has a few hundred likes (which I believe are coming from WordPress on the site's blog).
For a number of reasons, I would like to associate the two with each other, so is it possible to link my FB page likes to website?
At this stage I don't want a FB Like/Share/Recommend, and simply just want my Facebook page and its like to be representative of my website. I can understand why this might not be possible, but I just thought I would ask.
If it it's not possible (like this post Facebook Open Graph : Associate Website with Facebook Page indicates) to do with Facebook page's pageId, is there way I can associate a FB app (in the form of a website) with my existing facebook page without having to make a new FB page?
There is no way to combine/link Likes of an external Website with the Likes/Fans of a Facebook Page.
About associating an App with a Page: You can install an App on a Page, it is called "Page Tab" or "Page App". Of course you don't need to create a new Page for that, you can install an App on every Page you own. You can also use that exact same App for something else on your external website. Check out the "platforms" in the App settings.
i have a question about facebook page and facebook app.
Let's assume that, i have a company. and my company name is grimFandango. Before i put this company name i have checked facebook page:facebook.com/grimFandango.
it was available. But i did not take it. (this was a mistake) And then i have developed an ios/android application for my company. i used "login with facebook" feature on my mobile applications. That means i have also created a "Facebook App" on developers.facebook.com web site. I put same name (grimFandango) as a namespace for facebook app on developers.facebook.com
when we are done with mobile applications and facebook app. i wanted to get facebook.com page (facebook.com/grimFandago). But it looks like i cant take this page with that grimFandago.
what do you think? I cant get this facebook page name because someone took that that page name (facebook.com/grimFandango) OR because of the facebook app namespace?
thanks,
selcuk
Obviously, because someone took it (it can be unpublished too, btw). There is no direct relation between page names and app namespaces. They are even on different subdomains (apps.facebook.com).
I am trying to make an iOS app integrated with the Facebook SDK that allows the user to post directly to a facebook group page and receive updates directly from the group page through the app, as an alternative to the facebook app.
I know that the Facebook dialog class in the latest SDK allows us to share a status directly to one's wall but I have yet to find a way to post it to a page other than the user's wall. Is there a way to gain access to a facebook group page and retrieve the posts from the page and also post directly to it?
I am adding my Facebook application to Facebook Fan pages through the Facebook Javascript add_to_page dialog. Every thing is working Fine, only the problem with unpublished Facebook pages.
I am retrieving the Facebook pages IDs of all the pages to which the app is added. If a person add it to such a FB page which is unpublished, I can't get the Page ID and app is still added to the Facebook page. I want to prevent the app to add to the unpublished page in case.
The Facebook developer documentation provides no help regarding this issue.
Thanks in advance for taking your time.
All the pages a user administers will appear in the dialog - there's no way to prevent an unpublished or otherwise restricted page from being selected - if you have manage_pages Permission from the user you can act as all of their pages, including the unpublished pages.
If you don't, and need to know which page your app is being loaded on, the signed_request sent to your app when the tab is loaded will include the page ID
I have a Facebook application that posts to the users feed when they are using my application.
My company, which developed the Application, have their own page (as a page of my personal Facebook account).
Is it possible when the user Logs In to my app with their Facebook credentials that I can post to their feed (I can do this) AND to the feed of my Facebook business page at the same time ?
If so, any pointers/guidance would be appreciated. Thanks.
Yes this is possible, no not at the same time and not the same feed story.
If you grant publish_stream permission to application this is possible without interaction of user with Feed Dialog, if not you'll need to bring Feed Dialog twice (one for personal profile and one for page publishing).
