I'm building a website that will have a news feed (similar in idea to facebook and twitter) ...
Other sections in the website will also be using the same idea.
I've already build the DB and working on the HTML/PHPs with my team. I need to know how to create a news feed which is scrollable like facebook. Don't need to set a limit to it.
UPDATE
After further searching, I found that what I need is news ticker ...
You should consider Feed Creator.
It'll do everything you want without reinventing the wheel.

I would like to show the last 8 images from my Instagram profile on my website.
I've just spent the last hour looking for info on this but can't find anything recent information anywhere. I can't believe something as simple as showing my latest posts can be so complicated!
I have custom built our site using HTML, PHP and jquery. I'm not interested in paid 3rd party software and Wordpress/Shopify plugins aren't relevant to me.
I'm in the same situation if it can reassure you!
Indeed according to my research I think that Instagram have put their APIs on hold because of the Metaverse and the takeover by Facebook etc...
So it is currently impossible to display our instagram news feed on our sites, whether in PHP or JS...
It's quite compelling...
What I am trying to do is to make something similar to what I see all the time on almost any website. The button that says Share to facebook. The goal for me is to let my guests share the item they are viewing in my store (Ran on prestashop) on their blog I run (Running on Oxwall).
The goal is for the button to not only link to a blog post submission webpage but to already have the subject line filled out with the item they are sharing's name and the blog post to display the information about the item. I would like to try and do all this using PHP. I am not sure how to go about doing it but I am sure that I could pass the value. Please note that I can mod BOTH the blog site and the shop as I run both and want to connect them.
As an extra bonus I am also running a forum using phpbb3 if I could do the same thing but onto that as well I would greatly thank you. I am trying to interlink everything into one big network. I know its not an easy task but I am sure there is an easy way to pass data onto the other site so that this can be done.
Facebook a 2 tools to get items informations in the page, it parses the page looking for the most common tags and it uses OpenGraph.
You can also provide product informations in the head of your page (between head tags), then blog side, you retrieve only the contents and parse it as XML.
I advise you to cache this data to avoid useless connections between websites and awful overloads while parsing.
You can use your own specifications, Open Graph or another standard, but i advise to use a standard.
Is it possible to have facebook and twitter "AddThis" links pull a user's score from a game?
Im developing a simple HTML5 "quiz". There is a score counter set up that I would like to be able to echo to the Twitter and Facebook share options, but I cant seem to make this work and im not sure if it's even possible...
The counter is handled through JS and displays dynamically in "#score":
<div id="score-counter"><span id="score"></span<span>/20</span></div>
I would like to be able to share something like "I got '__'/20 on this game, can you beat me?"
Looked through a ton of documentation but still can't seem to figure it out... Can anyone advise how to go about accomplishing this?
Since the open graph is essentially a page scraper, you can't dynamically generate meta tags via javascript. Essentially, this answer is probably the right one which will ultimately lead you to this question/answer.
You would basically need to create a separate share url where you'd pass in query parameters for the page to read in order to dynamically spit out the correct meta tags for the open graph to see.
We want to add an activity feed for a Facebook page as a widget to our Wordpress blog. This seems like it should be a simple thing to do, the Facebook documentation refuses to yield the relevant description though. It seems like 'perhaps' an app is required, although maybe not...
Any tips much appreciated.

You can grab an RSS feed from a facebook page through the graph API; which will be written in XML
Edit:
Most of the necessary steps are outlined here: http://sem-group.net/search-engine-optimization-blog/subscribe-to-your-favorite-facebook-page-via-rss/
Although you'll need to get the id of your page as part of the steps above.

Wordpress seems to have its own specific plugin for importing RSS feeds:

(P.S. IF you find that this answers your question would there be any chance you could accept it?)
I'm currently working on a website which main function is to search a relatively large database of companies. After submitting their search parameters, people will be redirected to a list of companies that match whatever they searched for and from there, they can see the details of any specific company if they wish by clicking on the result.
This website splash-page is a simple form to execute this search and nothing else.
As far as I know, crawlers will not try to submit forms with random text so, I'm affraid everything after my form will never be indexed.
I want to avoid, obviously, all kind of black hat techniques.
Having that said, how can I make sure my inner content will ever get indexed???
Also, if you know, is there any good reading material around the web about indexing websites?
Thanks in advance.
My suggestions would be
1) Generate a sitemap XML file from your list with each element being an individual page as well as a dynamic html based sitemap with a tiny link to this in the footer.

or (my personal preference)
2) Create an RSS Feed + Icon that will allow google to peruse the list of companies as well as yourself or clients being able to subscribe and see companies as they sign up. Submit the RSS feed to Google and voila. Make sure you have an icon or RSS link on the front page though.

Create a page with an index of all the companies and link to it from the search page. If you have a ton of companies separating them by letter will be helpful. This allows search engines to see all of your content and has the added benefit of helping users as well.
