I have a mysql membership database run by a Perl script. Account creation or login requires an email address and password. The Perl script then sets cookies (password cookie has encrypted value) which allow users to create, own and modify records. A members table contains user information. I've gone through the FacebookConnect informatio...
I'm writing an iPhone app that provides access to a website that has an existing user database. The website is using Facebook APIs to also allow Facebook users to link their existing accounts with their website accounts. I need to be able to log in both Facebook and website accounts on my website when using our iPhone client but I am ru...
When someone posts a link on facebook, a script usually scans that link for any images, and displays a quick thumbnail next to the post. For certain URLs though (including mine), FB doesn't seem to pick up anything, despite their being a number of images on that page. I read up that FB prefers the "image_src" rel tag for the image the ...
Facebook Connect and their "Social Widgets" documentation mention that you need to add an xmlns attribute to your <html> tag on the page where it will be used. I understand that xmlns is for XML Name-spacing, and have used such with XHTML before. However, with all the recent talk about HTML4 / HTML5, without having read through the ent...
Has anyone ever gotten a response from Facebook after you've applied for the "publish_stream" permission? I've searched through their forum and found users with the same problem without an answer. Facebook Developer: Using the Open Stream API ...
I'd like to display a tree on a Facebook page with JavaScript. Therefore there can be no dependencies on frameworks such as jQuery or Ext which won't run on Facebook, at least as far as I know when I last worked on that platform (April 2009). Can anybody recommend a "framework-free" JavaScript/tree library? I have ported some fairly c...
Dear all, I have a question about Facebook Page: (NOT user profile page, I mean a facebook page where you can become a fan) How to add a customized box at the bottom left side of wall tab? (I am the page creator/admin) Please don't just give an answer "add the box to the page". Cause I really don't know how. Also, it seems that putti...
I'm writing a facebook desktop application for the first time using the PyFacebook api. Up until now, since I've been experimenting, I just passed the secret key along with the api key to the Facebook constructor like so: import facebook fb = facebook.Facebook("my_api_key", "my_secret_key") and then logged in (fb.login() opens a brow...
I'm having some trouble getting Google Analytics to work with Facebook, has anyone here gotten this to work? Facebook provides the tag in FBML, but it doesn't seem to do anything. I've added it at the bottom of my document, and the status never changes from Tracking Not Installed in Google Analytics. I'm using this in a Django-based ...
Hi guys - [I've answered my own question below - The fourth answer. One of the previous answers had a good hint in it - but not enough for the solution]. Has anyone posted a video via the Facebook Connect API to their profile / feed page? Ideally, the video should be queued to the first frame with the superimposed Facebook's blue ri...
I'd like to integrate user comments for a Facebook or Group on my website. It's simple enough to insert a Facebook Live Stream widget into a site, but it only shows comments that other users post via the widget on my site. I'm using ASP.NET MVC, but would prefer to use HTML/Javascript integration over server-side integration if possible...
I'm trying to get this to work. This is my utility method for sending an app-to-user notification to a single user. Session id is not needed for that. public Collection<String> notifyUser(String user, String msg) throws FacebookException { FacebookJsonRestClient fbkClient = new FacebookJsonRestClient(FacebookUtil.appApiKey, FacebookUti...
As far as I can tell you can't add the Developer package to a Pages account - as in I haven't got a Facebook profile. It's for business purposes and I'd really like to know if you can use the Facebook API to update a Pages status. Thanks :) ...
Does anyone know a simple way to grant extended permissions from a canvas page that is rendered as an Iframe in facebook? I have tried facebook connect and that does not seem to work so now I am trying XFBML but for some reason when I use the prompt-permission attribute it does not open dialogs for the extended permissions that I am re...
Hi, I'm using fb:serverfbml to render an fb:request-form for an iPhone-based web-app, and I'm having some major rendering issues. fb:serverfbml does not seem to respect widths when rendered in mobile Safari; it renders the fb:serverfbml as if it had a width of around 1000px. This causes my pages which have a viewport size of 320 to sud...

Update: The problem seems to have magically fixed itself, because I don't know what changed. If someone has an idea about how I accidentally fixed it, please post (I include myself :P). I'm trying to use Facebook Connect on my site, but I'm having trouble with using requireSession or fb:login-button. Currently, when a user clicks the co...
