Facebook Fan Pages Creation Tools - Page Modo - FaceItPages - Short Stack - Social Page Builder - facebook-page

There are numerous Facebook Fan Pages Creation Tools out there. PageModo, FaceItPages, ShortStack SocialPageBuilder, North Social, Lujure, SplashLabSocial, TabSite, Hubze, thruSocial.
We can't find the api they are using to do this and we want to do it for our website users.
Does anyone know what api they are using.

They work by creating a Custom Tab on each Fan Page. This Custom tab is actually an additional Facebook App that pulls/displays content from their server.
The methods invoked are all part of the Graph API, you may be interested in looking at the various ways you can handle the Page object.

Dynamic site content based on previous hovers, clicks, scrolls

I am looking for easy-to-build website development platforms that allows me to also manage and deliver dynamic web content based on prior user events such as clicks, hovers, scrolls. For example, if one engaged more with cat-themed content and assets than dog-themed, I want to dynamically load similarly themed content and assets going forward.
Did not find anything on Wix, SquareSpace, Wordpress, Hubspot CMS. Perhaps I am also searching using the wrong terminologies.
Looking for webdev services. And/or terminologies that I should be researching (if commercial recommendations are off-topic).

How to create a timed quiz in google form

I use Google Classroom for my chess club and send out quizzes using Google form. I am trying to find out if it is possible to set up some sort of timer in Google Forms right now. All the answers I can find using google are pretty outdated.
Here's a blog you can check and try for the implementation on How to Schedule your Google Forms and Limit Submissions. Afterwards, you can just add as a material and attach the link using Google Classroom API.
You can use Timify.me add-ons. It's easy to use and looks good as well.
Pros:
- timmer shows on the top of the page
- triggers the form to close upon timeout
Cons:
- only paid version allows you to set logo, text, design and webcam tracking
- You can't customize the time countdown section-wise, countdown as a whole submission
note: you need to configure timify.me with a token from timify.me web app

Adopt another site's Open Graph properties

I'm implementing the Open Graph protocol on my site, and I'm curious if it is possible to "adopt" another site's Open Graph properties within my site's web pages.
For example, suppose a user makes a post to my site that contains a link to an article (such as the New York Times). They then share that post on platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, and I want the preview image on those platforms to contain the Open Graph image from the New York Times article web page.
Is this possible?
It's possible, when the user validates the post, you have to check the links inside to target the link of NYT. Then you have to parse yourself the page of the NYT to return the content you want. And finally you use the informations of the OG Tags of the NYT's page.
I think it's a heavy process, and keep in mind that Google penalize heavily the duplicate content from the others websites.

Creating google analytics dashboard

I'm creating web site on zend framework and want to place statistic into my admin panel. Is there any js plugin (something like GA api) for getting styled graphs?
You may take a look at this:
http://d3js.org/
and that:
http://techslides.com/50-javascript-charting-and-graphics-libraries/
it depends on what you want to display a line graph, a map ...
Check out EmbeddedAnalytics. (Disclosure - I work with them) EmbeddedAnalytics is based on the GA API. To do what you are asking is simple:
Create Account and grant embeddedanalytics access to your GA data.
Define your charts/reports.
Get embedding iframe code.
Embed this code into your site where you want them to show.
Additionally, we are working on creating pre-defined dashboard pages which will allow end-user to embed entire dashboards into a page.

Spotify integration with Facebook OpenGraph

I'm trying to reproduce some cool things of the Spotify opengraph integration but there is one thing I understand how they do :
when you go on your spotify app profile (mine : https://www.facebook.com/antonio.mendespinto/music) you can see that the musician links points to the facebook page and not the spotify web pages (http://open.spotify.com/artist/7CajNmpbOovFoOoasH2HaY). How do they do that.
Also, is it this that lets Facebook to do behind the scenes the nice box in the artists page https://www.facebook.com/ogp/464730384564/ on the top showing friends interactions with the artist and spotify friend interactions.
Everything seems to point to the facebook pages instead of the spotify pages. How do they do that?
Yes, Spotify uses Facebook Open Graph Music, a predefined set of objects and properties for music.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/music/
Then I guess the Spotify account is marked in a way that makes this available. It is possible that this is what makes Facebook show the nice box in the artist page.
I work at Spotify, but I am not really sure about all the details of this. I know other music streaming services also use this, but I am not sure if it still requires a special account. It did in the beginning. Spotify was one of the first users of Open Graph.
The destination of the links inside Open Graph artifacts are left to the discretion of the developer. Say you're writing an app that lets people share restaurant tips. When you post a "Tip" object to OG, you naturally would include a link to the restaurant. As the app developer, you could choose the restaurant's web page, its Yelp page, its OpenTable page, your own representation of the restaurant page on your web site or any other web page on the internets. :-)
Being faced with a similar situation, I chose to use my own application's web page representing a restaurant. I experimented with using the restaurant's Facebook page (which I had to look up using the Graph API for search) as well as a third-party provider of restaurant information, e.g. Yelp. Using the Facebook page, my app felt more tightly integrated with Facebook, but I didn't get the luxury of having my own Facebook app metadata. Because I chose to link to my own restaurant page, I was able to set and retrieve whatever metadata I wanted, which really came in handy later when I started configuring aggregations.
I don't know how Spotify data surfaces on artist pages nor do I know how they managed to shoehorn song AND album objects into each listen post on OpenGraph, e.g.: "Chris listened to Torn and Frayed on Exile on Main Street." I could only ever get ONE object linked to an action, e.g. "Chris left a tip on California Pizza Kitchen." My assumption is that since they were one of the (if not the only) Facebook Open Graph launch partner, they probably had some inside help.
