Is there any generic solution available to check if user have shared the page on social networking sites like facebook, google+ and twitter.
My exact scenario is that I want to see if user have shared my content on social networking site or not.
According to your comments, you want to reward users for sharing something, which is not allowed. People always have to like or share something ONLY because they want to, not because they get something out of it.
4.5 Only incentivize a person to log into your app, enter a promotion on your app’s Page, or check-in at a place. Don’t incentivize other
actions.

That being said, you can check out the callback function of the share dialog: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/reference/share-dialog

I have a FB page that is a member of about 10 groups (all related to the same topic), and sometimes when I post I share the post to these groups.
Since it's so tedious to manually share the post to each group, I thought maybe using the API could be a better way to share my post into these specific groups my page is a member of. But FB seems to require that I enter some business details for a business that doesn't exist.
I don't own a business, this is a page to share educational tips and such. So I created an app (kept it in dev mode) and I'm the only administrator. I don't plan to make my app public, create an interface or have anyone else use it, and I don't intend to use it with any pages other than mine. Plus, I've already provided my personal ID so I am verified as an individual:
But still, if I want to get manage_pages permission I'm required to go through some business verification and show FB how I'll use the API in a video, when I don't have any of this. In the verification page I'm requested to upload an icon, a privacy policy link and confirm commercial use:
Should I just make up some fake business information so I can give them what they want? Is there not a way to use the API for personal use?
I'd be happy with just being able to send a couple cURLs to share my post through a terminal instead of having to do it via the FB GUI.
The only requirement to complete review by business verification is to manage more than 3 pages per user, otherwise you can complete via individual verification. However you say pages and groups so it's not clear if you refer to publishing to a page feed or to a group (which requires additional permissions/features besides only manage_pages). And no, you shouldn't fake official documents just to complete business verification if you don't have a business...
I have a workspace in which I have many applications based on the same schema.
Every applications has his own login page at the moment.
I want to build another application responsible for the login of all the other applications.
The login will redirect the user to a main page that will show the links to the different modules (applications) based on the user type.
Note that only the ADMIN user can see the links to all the applications.
Different types of user will see only the links to the apps that they are authorized to access.
I read other related posts, I know I have to change the cookie name for all the app I want to share the authentication.
But my question is:
If I login successfully with a user different from the ADMIN, I am still able to access all the applications via URL, even if their link is not visible in my main page.
How can I prevent this?
Check out the use of authorisation schemes (see under Shared Components).
If you had an authorisation scheme per application you check on each page so that if the current user was authorised that application. Don't forget that each authorisation scheme would also allow users who have ADMIN access.
Hope this helps.
Just had another thought. Check out this post http://www.explorer-development.uk.com/securing-vulnerability-exploits-apex-part-2/ by Craig Sykes.
Activating Session State Protection and using Checksums would prevent a number of issues for you.
If you clear your cookies and go to quora.com, suddenly you are logged in to quora. How does quora do that?
You can try that yourself. Does site now can check if a visitor is logged in to facebook and act appropiately?
The Quora home page actually has multiple cookie variables. Please analyze the scripting code below:
You will find that there are actually three object classes within the initial script load that will check whether you are logged into Quora or a partner site of Quora's which you have indicated that you will allow the associated login as your proxy login for Quora.
Quora also maintains session data via an internal Session_Table which will keep you "logged-in" to the Quora system unless you specifically "log-out".
The detail logs the IP Address along with Geography, as well as specific browser detail and is pushed through the HTML on Log-Out.
This functionality is not dissimilar to the functionality/strategy that Facebook uses and the "more logged-in" functionality that Eric Schmidt had mentioned that Google was looking to pursue some years back; however, with the exception of GMAIL there still hasn't been a socially interactive app that Google has unveiled that would make people WANT to access again and again without re-login.
Is there any way to authorize user (acting as a Page or Page administrator) in the same like FB Conect does but using Page data?
E.g. I would like a company, say local barber, authorize in my system as a certain Page (can be indirect, i.e. through a private account but I would like to know if this user is a page administrator). The purpose of this is to link an account on my website with a certain business that has representation on Facebook.
Well, you could ask the user for manage_pages permission and look if the page you’re interested in is amongst them, but since that’ll give your app also their page access tokens, I doubt they’ll grant you that.
Less intrusive and much simpler would be to have them install your app on their page as a page tab, and then look into the signed_request parameter once their using your app - it has a boolean flag for wether the user is admin or not. After that they can remove your app again.
I recently put a django project of mine into its beta stages and would really like to integrate more with social media, particularly facebook.
Now there are so many facebook integrations out there... I don't know where to start but, I'll tell you what I am after.
My sites publishes content with photos and also user related data (which site doesn't)
on each individual page I already have a facebook like button that basically has the absolute url of that page
so for instance:
http://my-site.com/url-1
http://my-site.com/url-345345
http://my-site.com/url-456456456
When a user likes this particular url I would like them to become a Fan on my facebook site/page as well.
I also added the FB opengraph tool which is a bit more informative once a user likes it. But it still does not publish any statistics to my page.
Can someone give me a bit of an understanding on what the best option is for this type of integration?
As a security option for the user, Facebook has never allowed third party access to "become a fan."
If you want to record locally when someone presses the "Like" button, you'll have to implement it locally (copy the presentation, and query Facebook yourself), so you can intercept the event. I've done that; it's not too hard.
I suggest you review the Connect Terms of Service to see what it is you're allowed to do: http://developers.facebook.com/policy/
