I have a website where users can post jobs for free. How can I link these posts to a facebook page about this website? I don't want the users to login to fb.
At this moment I post them to twitter and then using selective tweets to post them on my page. But selective tweets is not able to post logo's specific for that job.
I created a fb app. Did not select anything just gave it a name and got an appID and appSecret. I dont now what to select in "Select how your app integrates with Facebook". Becouse it is not a mobile app and it is not a website with fb login.
Kind regards.
you can use share on facebook facility of facebook ,from http://developer.facebook.com.
you can easily add this to your website.
have fun!
You can do this easily via MYSQL and PHP, depending on how your current site is setup. What i would do is store the jobs into a separate table while saving, like this
(table) Facebook
pageid //numerical value
header //job title
message //job description
So that you can use it for the next part.
Create an application via Facebook and give it authentication to users and your Facebook page.
by adding this application to your page you can then call something like :
$facebook->set_user($user, $session_key);
$facebook->api_client->stream_publish($item['header'], $item['message'], $item['pageid']);
Using your keys from facebook.
Then you can run a Cron that updates every x minutes, and after it has posted it, in an array, you can clear the table for the next row of jobs.
Let me know where you are on this and ill try to help as much as possible.

OBJECTIVE: I need to display latest 5 entries from users timeline on website, using PHP.
Please not that i speak about timeline of user profile - not fan page, not group.
SO FAR I DID THIS:
Registered as Facebook developer
Registered app
Obtained token
Opened url: https://graph.facebook.com/USER_ID/feed?access_token=MY_TOKEN
Voila. Feed of that user is displayed now, but..
PROBLEM: So now i have users feed, but it looks like its partially working.
It happens often that it don't displays some updates, sometimes it displays just date of the post and not the content.
However when i try to grab feed from some facebook fan page, then everything work normal.
MY QUESTION: Are we allowed to grab user timeline? If yes, what im doing wrong?
You won't ever see all the information that is visible inside the Facebook app via the api. This comes from how Facebook filters out the data. See this Facebook Developers blog post for more information: https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/478/
Yes you are allowed to to grab user timeline posts, even with a limit, if your app asks for read_stream permission. Issue an HTTP GET request to the below URL:
https://graph.facebook.com/user_id/posts?access_token=token&limit=5
I am connecting to the Facebook API using HybridAuth on the server side (backend is written in PHP). This is for a SaaS publishing application that is hosted on our servers. I understand the mechanics of OAuth and that once I accquire the appropriate permissions from the user, I can write and read from the Open Graph API, which in theory will allow me to do almost anything.
The problem is that I would like to use some of Facebook's social plugins. In particular, I would like to implement the like button so that it automatically appears for each blog post, article and page.
The problem is that the like button and the various Facebook plugins require an app_id. I would prefer not requiring users to add the developer app to their account and creating an app to get an app_id as it can be a confusing process for non-developers.
Is there anyway we can create or retrieve an app_id from open graph (which we can store and use to generate the like buttons and other facebook widgets)?
With the migrations, I understand that each liked URL will not have it's own page. Once the user clicks a like button on your site, he automatically likes your page. However, let's say I have a page called http://www.mystore.com/products/some-awesome-product and there are other similiar pages, all with a like button. Is it possible that when clicking like, the user automatically likes our Facebook page, but when an item is published in their news feed for the like, the URL links to that specific product? Effectively, is there a way for users to like multiple pages from my site?
Update: It looks like we can generate app_ids programmatically with the create application API in the legacy REST API. However, this does not seem to be an option with the graph API.
Seems like we cannot programatically create an app_id for an account. This is not an issue, as we will just create a small guide to guide our users through creating an app and submitting the app_id to us using a form. Not perfect, but should be easy to implement.
As for URLs, liking something will not automatically like your Facebook page. If href is blank, the current page will be liked. If you set your facebook page in the href parameter, then your facebook page will be liked.
I'd like to display my chat status on my website, so I can tell my customers they can reach my through Facebook chat. Is there any way to do it?
Try this link:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/rest/status.get/
or search on "make an FQL query (fql.query) on the status (FQL) table", taken from that same link, which should do you nicely.
I guess you could make a PHP script that uses the status.get or fql.query (on status table) to pull your status on page load. Maybe place it in the header/footer that is shared across your site. This way as soon a someone comes to your page they'll see your current FB status.
Why do you want to do that? Customers can't even use the chat if they aren't friend with you ?
Just create an anchor from your facebook profile page
I would like to know how i would be able to synchronize data (news and events) with a facebook page.
For example, I have a web site called abc.com (with a news and events section), and a facebook page called facebook.com/abc. I would like to know how i could synchronize the news and events from abc.com with facebook.com/abc. Whenever the administrator manages news and events, the data should automatically update itself on its facebook page.
Could anyone kindly guide me or even post some URL's that would help me out.
Use any of the following services,
ping.fm
hellotxt
They are providing API for that.. From that, you can update many social networking sites at once.
Just register with any of these services and the API to update the status at the end of the script where u add/upload things or stuffs..
I have made a website on which a user has to log in using a username and password. I have seen these in so many website, we can connect through facebook account. And I want to add the same to my web site. How is it possible,using php sdk or the javascript sdk?
The team at Facebook has spent considerable time documenting this, I would suggest you start there:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/web#login
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/
If possible, I would do like dracolytch writes here and create a level of abstraction for both OpenID and Facebook. He is willing to share his code.
Those links are what Facebook likes to call "Badges." Go to your profile. Scroll all the way to the bottom. On the lower left hand column you should see a link that says "Create Profile Badge." Click that. From there you can edit a Badge to show the info you'd like. At the end, it will give you some html code that you can copy and paste into another website or blog. When people click on your Badge, they will get sent directly to your Facebook info box.
