I'm looking for a service (or Facebook app) that will check my Twitter account and update my Facebook page whenever there is a new post on Twitter. So far I've tried the following to no avail:
Twitter facebook app
Ping.fm
HelloTxt.com
Any ideas what I can use to do this? Thanks for your help!
I use Selective Twitter Status, it's a Facebook app (3rd party) that reads your Twitter stream and updates your Facebook status from it. The advantage of this app is that it's selective, it only updates FB if your tweet ends in '#fb'.
Inside your Facebook profile, right below your status, click Options and then Settings.
You should be able to select Blog/RSS under the Imported Stories and then put in the link to your twitter's RSS feed.

After latest Facebook API changes, is there any way to post on friend's wall, using authenticated access_token?
I have tried using Feed Dialog, but redirects to facebook login page. I want to bypass the login step.
Unfortunately not. From the Facebook API documentation on publishing:
"Note: If you are posting to a friend's timeline or wall, you must use the Feed Dialog."
Full details: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/publishing/
No,You Cant
Currently, Facebook allows to post by two ways:
Using FacebookAPI
Using Facebook SDK (depends on your requirement)
And in both these methods its must that you should be an authorised user to perform the action, authentication is a must.So you can't do this without a login.
NB: As per the Facebook Developer docs, graph API no longer works .(But I would like to add on that many of the iOS apps which used this service are still functioning well). So, I prefer to use Facebook SDK.
Hope my answer is clear.
I need a code for inviting friends to a fanpage.
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/requests/
This is linking to the website. Is it possible to link to my fb fanpage?
Actually if you read the whole documents, that Request feature is for Facebook Application only. But here's a work around :
Create a Facebook Application
Have a great content where everyone wants to have
Put a Like Gate before they can access your great content
You can still use the App Request for your app while the user likes your page
How to post in facebook fanpage automatically from my website ?
for example when i update new post in my website and i need to post in facebook fan page automatically....
I believe Facebook offers a certain number of APIs which would allow you to integrate Facebook into your own website to some degree; you can always try their dev centre.As far as I know, however, you can only post to Facebook through social networks like Twitter (see: linking a Twitter account to Facebook), or through Facebook apps you've developed yourself.
You need to create facebook app and use the app secret key and and API key in facebook SDK
script for automatic posting. for more details click the following link. I think this may help you. http://www.damnsemicolon.com/php/auto-post-facebook-with-facebook-sdk
I am hoping to use Facebook to log into my application. The user is given 2 options, either he/she could log in using FB or else by registering with the system and login in to the application.
I browsed through the FB Graph API, and downloaded there sample application. It showed how to post a note to my wall. SO when i click on the Facebook button, i sign-in and then the page gets re-directed to the post-to wall view.
What i want to do is, to only Login to Facebook (Not Post to Wall). Is this possible ? Is there any tutorial or sample code which would help me do this ?
Facebook's Javascript SDK provides a method called FB.login that will do what you want.
What you want is the Facebook iOS SDK, specifically the Authentication section, for a native iOS app.
My aim is to make a facebook fanpage for a client who wants his blogposts to automatically show up on his fanpage.
I've already read several posts here in the forums. I've tried several methods to auto-publish wordpress posts to a fanpage in facebook.(notes, ...) The last method I used was making an app and using the "Simple Facebook Connect" plugin for wp.
I got quite confusing with this. I have an app called "myClient" and a fanpage called "myClient". If I publish a blogpost, it automatically shows up on the fanpage but "via myClient". Is there a way on get rid of the facebook app? I don't want to show up the via-sentences because the app is just the connection between wp and fb and has no content at all (the content is on the fanpage)
Hopefully you can help me with that!
Thanks in advance.
Whenever you want to publish something on Facebook, you need a Facebook Application as it's the "trusted" connection between your source and Facebook (this is why you have the App Secret and all the authentication/authorization process..etc).
So, How to auto-publish wordpress post to facebook fanpage without a facebook app?
You can't! But what you can do is changing the App name to something the Client would agree on (and not being "already taken", of course!).
You can use the notes facility available. It is updated when the RSS address you provide updates.
Actually there is a way to get rid of the Facebook App - by using third parties automatic Facebook publishing tools like ZapRobot - in that way you actually lean on someone else's FB API APP. Note that then you give "manage_pages" permission to the third party. The process should be:
1) Register with ZapRobot - this is a Facebook login, you give them posting rights to your page
2) Define a job that posts A LINK (ignore their categories) while the link is pointing to the RECENT wordpress item on your blog
Good luck :-)
