Since last week, users are forced to login page while accessing our facebook wall or fan pages in mobile browsers. It works great on regular browsers. Why this sudden change on mobile devices.
Wall pages were always viewable except you have some age restrictions in the Settings. Now all of a sudden facebook started forcing users to login ?
Steps to reproduce:
Open safari browser on Iphone
Open https://m.facebook.com/socialtwist
User is navigated to facebook login page
NOTE:Until the week before it was working, users were able to view the facebook walls without loggging in.(They use to see a Signup and Login buttons)
User should be able to view the wall page without logging in. This works on regular browsers for both m.facebook.com/socialtwist and www.facebook.com/socialtwist
I've noticed the same thing with my Facebook page. Obviously they changed the rules on us, again. As an alternative, you can get the RSS feed for your Facebook Fan Page and display your content to the mobile device that way. See this article for how to get the RSS feed:

I've implemented Facebook login as a mobile web. But there is something wrong.
When I click the login button, it jumps out the authentication page.
After pressing confirm, it should jump back to my original page and with status logged in.
However, on both iPhone and hTc, it just won't come back to the page.
But when I manually refresh again the original page, I'm logged in.
The login function works well when I use my PC to login, but got error on iPhone and hTc.
In other word, this issue only appears on my mobile device.
So I set up an App to handle open graph protocol setting for my website. I embedded the open graph protocol metadata into the site and I added a Facebook like button that ties to the home page. I ran it through the linter and everything looks good. But when I look at the administration interface in Facebook, it shows a different number of "likes" than on my page itself. Also I thought by setting it up in this way I would be able to see who liked my page as well. Finally, when I go to my website and I am logged into facebook, it does not show an "admin page" link which I thought it is supposed to do. I have been looking all over the Facebook developer documentation and cannot seem to find an answer. Thank you!
I was able to write a PHP application which requests an access node for the admin of the FB Fan Page, and then requests an access node to gain access to the fan page itself.
I'm now able to get all photos that were posted to the timeline of the fan page by going to https://graph.facebook.com/GROUP_ID/tagged?access_token=...
However, I actually want the photos the fan page is tagged in. The above url only gives me the photos posted to the time line of the fan page, not the ones in which the page is tagged by other users. According to the developers documentation I could get these by going to https://graph.facebook.com/GROUP_ID/photos?access_token=...
Everything seemed to work this way. I got a photo in which the fan page was tagged (profile picture of the fan page). However, I don't get any other photos in which the fan page is tagged. I tried to tag the fan page in its own photos (posted and tagged by an admin of the fan page) and tagging the fan page in other people's photos, but I only get the one profile photo in which the fan page is tagged.
Is this a permission problem or something else?
When requesting the access tokens I asked for the following permissions:
offline_access
read_stream
manage_pages
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I want my Facebook app that I'm developing on, appears as an iframe in several fan pages that I have on Facebook.
is this possible to place a facebook app on a Facebook fan page iframe?
if so will my users need to approve my app on each page or will one-time approval for the app will approve it for him in all my fan pages?
Yes this is possible, please refer to Page Tab Tutorial and Apps on Facebook.com documentation for details on how to do this
User only need grant access to application once, on other Pages same application will get all user details (This isn't required, if you application doesn't need user identity to work, you can skip this at all)...
Facebook grants permissions by app id, so no matter how many pages you put that app in, it will only ask for perms on one page.
OK, apologies for the verbose title. Let me give the background in a bit more detail.
My website allows my registered users to create new pages, each of which has its own unique URL. Each page has a Facebook "Like" button on it. I've already implemented Facebook Open Graph API meta tags so that the pages are proper open graph objects, and when some other visiting Facebook user "likes" the registered user's page, a post appears on that Facebook user's wall saying they have liked the page. The Facebook Like widget also displays the number of "likes" that page has received as normal. So far, so good.
What I want to do is allow my registered users to be able to communicate back to the Facebook users who have liked their page. The community of "likers" for a page is a potentially valuable social media resource to the registered user, if only they could communicate back.
I am aware of the "admin page" link you get beside the Like button, which can be used to post to these people, but that is not an option for my registered users as they have no privileges in relation to the Like button.
What I want to do, if possible, is setup a form to capture the registered user's message back to the Facebook users, and then my website sends the message on their behalf, without having to ask for any extra privileges from the Facebook users.
The following Facebook documentation pages seem to say this is possible, but having followed the Open Graph API documentation, I can't get it to work as described - http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/465/ and http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/ ("Publishing" subsection). I can get the access token correctly in the first request, and plug that into the second request to do the post, but that doesn't seem to do anything and doesn't return any error.
Since it doesn't work for me, I'm wondering if this is possible as described, or do I need to get some sort of extra permission to do this? I've seen reference to offline_access permission but as I'm new to this stuff I am not sure how it would fit in. If I have to get the Facebook users to grant permissions, this is not going to work as envisaged.
Any thoughts would be most helpful.
The short answer: No, You will never been able to post on someones wall as another user.
The long answer:
You could try to ask for offline access but then you are asking the user to hand over all their facebook data and give you access todo whatever you like their accound, so that is not likely to happend.
The next problem is that they have to be friends to be able to post on each others walls.
Thats why Pages was implemented, so that organisations could announce/talk with the people interested.
However if you have created the like button correctly and give the pages correct meta data, you are able to post to user who have liked it.
Scroll down to Publishing:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/
Just add a form for your user and let your system publish to the correct page, you probably will need a offline token from your own account or similar to use on the server.
Another more complex way could be to generate a facebook page for each page you have on your server.
When the user creates a page on your system a page is created on facebook but as your app as admin.
And when another user likes the page they like the facebook page, hence you have the possibility to post in that page and speak to the user who liked it. (whooa thats a mouthfull).
