My problem is that when you press the like button on my site it says, you want to like an "untitled document" not my site. I think the reason is that in the early days of testing I forgot to remove the place holder text of "untitled document" and put in something like "This is my pic!, Celebrating people's genius one pic at a time". so now each time somebody likes the page it says. "untitled document".
Is there a way to make it display the current title.
The title seems to have updated correctly when you run this through the url linter. Using the linter refreshes the data Facebook has cached about your website (note that it can only be used once every hour). If you do not see your information updated, consider adding Open Graph Tags to explicitly tell Facebook which information to use for your page.
Additionally, adding yourself as an admin using these tags will allow you to edit the page manually (via Facebook) in the future.

I tried to read everything I could in order not to disturb, but the behavior of the facebook like box plugin is wired.
I must begin with the fact that everything in my facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/pages/tennisitgr/428483287200942) is shown correctly.
When i try to produce the code for the like box plugin from http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/ :
if I am not logged in to facebook i can see only the stream, the
header, and the number of people who liked my page but there are NO
faces (the show faces option is checked..).
if I am logged in to facebook I can see faces but all the faces shown
are duplicate (except mine).
Maybe I have a setting wrong in my page (I checked the permissions..) because when I try to generate the plugin for another page it is shown correctly.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Nikos.
After successfully posting my open graph action, the action appears just fine. But in the text, the last thing listed is my object variable name with a colon and then either the link to the object, which displays the title or full url link. SInce this is a bit difficult to explain, I created a screen shot:
The name of my open graph object variable here is "venue" . The venue returned from my server is actually correct. I checked the link just in case again using the debug tool and had no errors. The issue is, It should not be displaying there.
Is this issue happening because my open graph action isn't approved yet? (I'm not done)
When it does happen, I notice all my open graph actions posted are shown in the same way. But then, other times, it will be fine. I will check tomorrow and see if it's still happening but wanted to see if anyone had any insight on what's happening
Found the answer finally. There's an option to hide the object from the news feed.
I'm not an expert on this, but if I understand it correctly, it's to do with the captions. Click on Edit Captions under the Story's details section, it will allow you to set what appears in the next few lines.
So you could do something like
Venue: {song.venue}
This is, of course, assuming that you want to show the venue. If not, your solution works :)
I am making changes in preparation for February 1. I have a fan page with 30000 likes. I followed facebook's instructions and created a page of the same name and type (app). The new page does not have any likes (this may take a while?). Nor does the game have the button that my other apps all have (Go to App).
I can't find where this is. I've looked through the newly created page's settings. I've also looked through the app's settings.
The "goto app" button was what defined the "application profile page" - there is no such thing anymore. No (new) applications will ever be able to have that type of page again. You'll have to just use your normal page that you created. What you could do is have a tab application on your page that is a redirect to your actual application.
As the OP has shown in his comments below, my answer above was misleading.
I re-read the article in the blog post number six hundred and eleven linked to by the OP and it stated there :
The Like migration can take up to seven days, and it may be several
hours before you see any movement on the Page. If you have a Vanity
URL associated with your App Profile Page, we will transfer the Vanity
URL to the Facebook Page so long as one doesn’t already exist for the
Page.
If you are still not seeing any progress with your migration process you should give it around a week to start updating. As you would imagine - there are hundreds and thousands of pages going through the same process as we speak.
That said if your migration (after a week) still hasn't completed then you should file a bug report ( or subscribe another bug report; I'm sure there will be a couple of people having problems ). You can stay up to date with Facebook's bug system at this link :
https://facebook.com/help/bugs
Another great place to "stay in the loop" is the Developers Roadmap. All changes will be listed there well before they are implemented. ( 90 days in the case of a breaking change; that means a change that might cause existing code to not function correctly )
I would like to create a button with the name "Participate" that works like the "like" button on facebook.
I have an contenttype called Event, which should show the participate button, that logged in users can click, and add themselves to the event.
When looking at the content for Event I would also like to display a list of the users which have clicked the Participate button.
Is there someone who can help me with how it can be solved or what i should look into?
take a look at this module with some php knowledge you can make it , it's not what you really want but this guys pushed the hard part
The Activity module keeps track of the
things people do on your site and
provides mini-feeds of these
activities in blocks, in a specialized
table, and via RSS. The module is
extensible so that any other module
can integrate with it. The messages
that are produced are customizable via
the admin interface and are context
sensitive. Some theoretical example
messages include:
You wrote a comment in response to "example comment title"
Jim wants to be your friend. Approve this friendship here
Nancy is Phil's latest fan

I have got a website running with an option to report abuse of functionality. This is being done by clicking a link. After the link is clicked the webmaster will get a report of the location where the content is that was reported as abuse. I have added an rel="NOFOLLOW" to the href of the particular links but this is not helping. It seems that this tag is only being used to check wheter a page has to be ranked or not. How can i Exclude googlebot from clicking those abuse links?
This is what a link looks like:
Click me
The way I would go is have the report abuse email be behind a POST form of some kind. For example, a drop down box to select the issue or a text box to write in some comment about the abuse. Another method would be to style the form submit button so that it looked like a link and use that in place of your current link if you didn't want to have another step.
I'd do this in two parts:
By default, I'd make the link take you to a page where you report the abuse via a (very short, friendly) form, one where if you don't want to, you don't even have to choose anything, just click the Report button. Clicking the Report button (or a cancel link) takes you back where you were.
I'd include JavaScript that would test if the user has modern browser features (DOM node creation and such) and, if so, change the action of the link so that when they click it, the form appears right there (in a small overlay box) rather than taking you to a separate page. That makes for a less-intrusive user experience. Either way, though, the end result is a form being submitted rather than simply a link being followed.
