I am curious if there are any libraries in Java (or perhaps web services that I can call) out there that previews links like it is done in Facebook. Right now what I am doing is reading the URL using a new URL([url here]) and parsing the html to get to the content I want to print. This means removing unwanted tags and all. But this is ...
I have an existing Rails web application which I would like to integrate with Facebook, so that when the user takes actions in my application news items containing external links are later posted to the users wall / feed by a daemon which summarises the latest activity. I don't need single signon etc. at present, just the ability to send...
I have read the documentations at Facebook. I have browsed through books on Facebook development and I am reeling from the options, restrictions. There is MockAjax, FBML, FBJavascript and the PHP API. And then there is an option of launching the application from inner frame. I guess there are 2 questions. When do you use the FB options,...
I am running Facebook connect and can post to a users wall using FB.Connect.showFeedDialog. It works fine for most of the process but after the user clicks publish and the following message is displayed "The post is now visible on your friend's Wall."

After a page loads, I'm making an AJAX request to pull down an HTML chunk that contains tags representing a Facebook user profile picture. I append the result to a point in the DOM but the logos don't load, instead all I see is the default silhouette. Here's simply how I'm loading the HTML chunk with jQuery $.ajax({ url: "/faceboo...
I don't see any way to respond to a timeout issue if Facebook is down or not responding when I use FB.init. There's no option here: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/JS%5FAPI%5FM%5FFB.Bootstrap.Init%5F2 Would be nice if there were some way to respond to errors like you can with normal xmlhttprequests. Is there such a thing w...

I am developing a Facebook app in Zend Framework. I am using the Facebook session key for my PHP session ID (this is the practice recommended by Facebook).

Can anyone shed some l...

In my specific case, I'm writing an iPhone application. I've seen widgets you can place on your website that users can click on to become a fan of your page, but I can't find anywhere in the api or documentation, a way that you can facilitate "becoming a fan" through an application. Has anyone else had success with this? I've spent ab...
I'm current developing web-app that allows a user to associate their account with their Facebook account. I have no trouble getting the users Facebook id/session_key and extended permissions.

I followed http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/JavaScript%5FClient%5FLibrary and the first example, but nothing shows up in the Error Console on Firefox or the textarea. The other non-Facebook stuff in this file works. What's a simple example using the...
