I've really few experience with Facebook development, just made few things...
I'd like to know how to programatically modify a fan page, the particular requirement that I've right now is to control posts from users, I'd like to be notified for a new post and also have the ability to delete posts.
Could you guide me to accomplish this task? What should I use / read to get this done.
Thanks a lot!
As far as I know there is now way to receive an email through facebook when someone adds a new wall post to a Fan Page.
Follow this thread:
http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=6802152230&topic=9913#topic_top
A user did mention "If you're using Firefox, install Update Scanner to your addons"
I'm sure the docs can help you on programmatically deleting a post. Try here:

I plan to start a Facebook contest where the user is first asked to like the page, then they submit their email to enter the contest.
I checked out other contest examples on:
http://contests.about.com/od/facebookcontests/tp/Facebook-Contests-and-Facebook-Sweepstakes.htm
Most Facebook pages direct a user to a "Like this page to continue" page. I tried to google around to find how this is done, but I cannot find anything. I tried to find ways to track specific user's likes,
For contest-specific legal reasons, I cannot use an app that makes the contest and keeps track of the entries. So I will need to create this from scratch.
I have made other apps before, and I do have access to an external server where I plan to create a page and link to it from facebook for the 'frame' type app.
Is there a standard way of doing this? Is there a documentation that I have yet to find?
Thanks
(Me answering my own question)
Some more googling I was able to find:
How to check if current facebook user like a page using PHP SDK?
A php version of the same question.
In that case, I will be able to check out FQL's documentation to find out how to get this information.
I really don't want a permission popup from facebook to pop up, and I don't think I will need that to make this work. I will try that and add a comment to this answer if it works just like what I'm looking for.
I am trying to figure out how to get to a spot where I can interact with those that "LIKE" a link on my website. I have seen both of these articles on Stack, but they have not helped me.
Facebook Like Button + Open Graph + Website = Pushing Updates to Likes?
No "Admin Page" link on Facebook Like button on a web page
I have a feeling that the second link above is just not up to date anymore for the new Facebook.
My site is http://www.UpcomingEvents.com.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!! We have some heavily LIKE'd urls and it would be great to be able to get info to those who are interested.
Thanks in advance!

I must say, luckily this is not possible anymore. I don´t want to suddenly get stuff in my stream on facebook just because i liked one article/page on a website.
Here´s the info:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/migration/
With this admin page deprecated, developers will no longer have the ability to publish updates to users who have clicked on a particular Like Button. The REST endpoint to publish updates for a Like Button will also be deprecated.
I will try to be as clear as I can with my request but as I am still unsure as to what I am looking for I might come across as vague.
I was hoping I could get some help understanding the best approach to allowing a user to post a link with an attached image to the walls of a selection of their friends on Facebook. There are lot of approaches and answers out there but I am having trouble determining what is best.
Thanks for helping me see straight

Its really up to the user if your using the JS toolkit.
Click share under your question. Then when dialog pops up you get the option of where to share it.
So solution 1) leave it in the hands of the user.
If you want to force them into share on friends wall you will need to find something that does this or
DIY.
The DIY approach would be to have your site /app do oAuth authentication. Pass that to an oauth library and then list a users friends maybe with https://github.com/mbrevoort/jquery-facebook-multi-friend-selector.
Then issue the appropriate graph request to post to each one's time line.
The choice is yours but those are the 2 approaches I know of.
I want to integrate a friends website (photographer) with Facebook. I've been trying to find the answer in the Facebook Developers guide, but it doesn't seem clear to me.
What would I need if:
I want to have a like button per photo album he has
I want to publish his news that he enters in my cms to his facebook wall
Do I need an application? Or can I accomplish this with plugins?
Thanks in advance.
the like button can just be added by inserting a code snipped
facebook will take care of the rest.
if you however want to do more with your liked pages like send updates and have statistics, you need to register an app and supply the app id as meta tag in your website. the open graph notation is used.
to publish news post you can obtain a permament token and publish using the graph api, but there are also alternative and probably easier methods
You should keep it simple and be able to accomplish these with just plugins... FB's documentation is quite rich:
In here it explains how to add the like button:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/web
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like
And this to post to his wall:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/live-stream
I am used Facebook for my application where I have to post comment on wallpaper. But now I have to modify that application. I want page after user login it will give option like
post to wall
retrieve friends
logout
Can we implement this page after login instead of direct opening the page of post wall.
If yes then provide me some code with brief details. Even your previous code help me lot to solve my previous problem
Thanks
I am not sure if I correctly understand your question, but if you are looking for an easy way to post comments and images to a wall or also to retrieve friends etc ... go check out BMSocialShare - currently better use the dev branch though! In case you want to share to many other platforms as well try ShareKit.
