Is it possible to share a custom data in a Facebook wall without using FB Connect?
I'm currently developing a application using CodeIgniter PHP. I wan't to share some data to the user's facebook wall using his/her email address that the user provided for his personal information in my application.
Is it possible to send data without using FB Connect? If so, can you teach me how?
You should use Facebook libraries in your application. You can't share anything on the wall without user agreement.

I'm attempting to integrate my Web App with Facebook in order to take certain messages posted to my web app and then post it on a specific, predetermined wall.
For example, when my message is posted and sent through my web app, my web app will grab a predetermined Facebook page (Using PHP) and post to that wall, regardless of what user may be signed in during that session.
I've done some browsing through the documentation of the Facebook PHP SDK, and implemented the basic like and share buttons, but I haven't found any way to maintain a permanent access token to a singular account, I've only found how to post to whichever user currently has the session.
If anyone with more experience with the API could guide me in the right direction, or tell me if this is even possible with a singular user and wall, I'd be greatly appreciative.
Thanks
I'm working on a website where I'd like to allow a user to send a Facebook friend request to another through the website. I have the Facebook account information for both. Is this possible? I know it was in the old version of the GRAPH API and also using FBML, both of which are outdated now.
Cheers!

You can't publish using this edge. The Friends Dialog should be used if you want to integrate the ability to add someone as a friend in your app.
The Friend Dialog was removed with v2.0, so there is no way anymore.
I want to get the email address of a user when he visits my site by checking if he currently has a facebook session going on in the browser. If he has then is there a way I can extract his email address from the facebook cookie and store it in my website's database for future reference.
Please note that I don't want to create a Facebook App just want to extract the email address of the user from their cookie. I'll create a Facebook login later but as of now I just want to keep track of any visitor as well if possible for example by the above scenario.
I couldn't find it in their developer documentation hence I'm asking the forum. I'm using Codeigniter for PHP srcipting on my website and its basically a E-commerce website.
Any javascript or Jquery solutions will work as well!!!!
No. This is not possible. If anybody could get everybody's email without asking then people would be even more angry at Facebook.
I was wondering if it would be possible to get a list of a Facebook Page fans and their birthday, then on their birthday have it post a birthday greeting on their wall? I want to do this without the use of a Facebook App and have it post directly from the Facebook Page to the users/fans wall (possibly using OpenGraph and PHP?). I just want to know if this can be done and what I should utilize in the Facebook API?
You cannot get details about a fan or post to their timeline / wall without using an app. There are separate permissions required to achieve what you are trying to do, and none of these are possible without using an app, and getting the user to install the app (with the correct permissions).
Use Facebook Ads and target your fan base only on their birthday. Facebook allows you to post the ad to fans but only on their birthdays. Click here for details

I'm looking for a way to get a users facebook profile id or username which i can use to get the profile picture based on the users account. I know how to fetch the picture already (http://graph.facebook.com/username_or_id/picture). I don't want to ask the user to submit their fb username (or worse - their profile id), i need it all done automatically (happy user).
Now i have not setup a Facebook app to use the facebook SDK so i don't have a appID or a secret code...
The reason for not setting it up is because im working on something that not only i will use. It's a project where others will be able to use on their own domain and i don't want to ask the users to setup their own FB app just to get this working so im looking for a way to do it, without the FB SDK? or have i got it all wrong?
You can do everything without FB SDK (it's just a library), but you can do nothing without application. So no, you can't get user's ID without their knowledge
