My company owns several magazines and we want to put one LIKE button on our corporate site to like all of our magazines. Is there a way to do this? I have been searching around and cant find a solution.
I'm pretty sure this can't be done as a means of security.
I may click like on your "Pie of the Month" magazine, but if you control the button, you may have me like "Pie of the Month." "Womens Shoes." and "Girls Gone Crazy." I believe the reason is obvious why facebook won't allow this.
Instead try doing a like button for your corporations entire collection of magazines or "Gamer Magazines by xxxxxx."
This should help solve the problem without asking facebook to rewrite the entire API.

I'm trying to figure out how administration can have access to each customer's wishlist items, perhaps adding a tab to the Sales/Customer/ area where General, Transaction, Rewards Points that would be for wishlist. Really would be handy, as we work with several organizations that have "secret gifters" that always want to send something wanted.
It's not a current feature of OC, and I've not seen anything that does it, but your on the right tracks for an ideal spot for it to go
I'm setting up a sharer on my site pages, and i've found different links for using the sharer :
share.php
sharer.php
sharer/sharer.php
Which one is the right one to use ?
In the Facebook doc it says the second one, but only with the third was i able to share to a fan page (no linked profile).
Is there a difference between sharing on a profile or on a page ?
Thanks.
There is not much difference among them, it is just their looks and size that is changed using the property type.
I would strongly recommend against:
"The Share button has been deprecated in favor of the Like button, and will no longer be supported.
Please use the Like button whenever possible to drive maximum traffic to your apps."
So, instead of waking up with an nonfunctional share button, you'd be better off with a like button, or implementing a share button from scratch using the JS SDK.
Also, I can tell you for a fact that most of the people would share on their own wall rather than on a page.
The correct one to use is sharer/sharer.php
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=example.org" target="_blank">
Share on Facebook
</a>

is there a specific link that I can use for "Liking" something? I'm looking to make a rating system that when someones votes something as 5 stars, it automatically "Likes" the image or whatever. I know there is www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?, but when I use that in my JavaScript, it automatically forwards them to a page with a like button only on it...
FYI, I'm not hiding the like button, it will be known by users...
I also tried .trigger('click'); but that doesn't work with the like button!
Thanks in advance!
You have stumbled across some road-blocks that Facebook implemented to prevent abuse of their like button. You will have to play by their rules to play in their sandbox they built. So use the social plugin: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
It's awful that this thing is called "Like"-Box and there is no way to like, comment or share on an actual wallpost shown in the activity feed!
Is there a way to customize the Like-Box core so that these three little items are shown?
Would be great!
The only customization options are those found on the documentation page. You could build your own though using the Facebook graph API to pull a pages feed down and add like and share buttons.
Looks like an issue was closed related to the question I'm about to ask, so I wonder if I'm going to be skating on thin ice, but here goes. I feel like even though this is kind of localized by nature, it could be a useful example for other developers dealing with the Like button.
I seem to be having issues regarding the Facebook like button. The infuriating part is that I'm pretty confident I have everything setup properly, and even though the linter says "hey, this all looks kosher!" the like button fails to get the correct content and uses cached info from a different page.
Here's the case: referlocal.com. We serve daily deals, and list them right off the homepage. There can be one of many deals listed on that homepage, so obviously Facebook is seeing just one when it goes to take a peek at the root directory. Now, on the homepage, whatever deal your viewing has a FB Like XFBML tag with href and ref attributes set. Every page that displays a deal also has OG tags pointing directly to the offer view page. Deals can also be viewed on user pages. So, on these three paths:
/
/{username}
/offers/{city}/{title-url-alias}
a like button is included as well as OG tags that point to /offers/{city}/{title-url-alias}. For about 3 weeks, the button worked like a champ. But recently, it's been performing strangely. For any deal, regardless of the 3 locations, it always uses the information cached from the previous days "/" deal. Regardless of the OG tags or origination.
Here's the wildly confusing part. The Facebook Linter is supposed to recache the information on the page, right? Well, it sort of does. It picks up on all of the appropriate information set in the OG tags, but when you click the Like button at the bottom of the page, no dice, still uses the deal FB saw on the homepage from the day before.
I know this is probably killing my argument for localization, but check this out:
http://developers.facebook.com/tools/lint/?url=http%3A%2F%2Freferlocal.com%2Foffers%2Fdallas%2Fget-20-of-authentic-italian-american-cuisine-for-only-10-at-leggios-italian-ristorante-dallas
Regardless of the fact that the linter finds all the appropriate information, the like button at the bottom still is liking a deal FB cached from the previous day.
Any ideas?
I had this problem too. The linter caches things in a very weird manner - seems like the best thing to do is either to add a query string and change it every time, or just rename the file every time you're checking.
