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

As stated in title. MDL cards/templates etc come with fancy looking share buttons. How exactly do we make them work how we see they do on phones apps? I want a user to be able to press the share button and have the list of apps to share via to show up.
Is this possible?
This is not possible with current web technology. The only API that was in progress to allow it was Web Intents but this has since been abandoned.
The share button could open up a dialog or something that has a Reddit share, Digg button, Facebook share, Google Plus shares, etc within them. That way they are only initialized when called. But you need to specifically program what you want to share out to.
I've used services like 'Add This' for a while but now I need to add a couple of specific bits of functionality to an ecommerce order completion page. It's to work like Amazon's order thank you page where it allows you to post a message to Facebook saying something like 'I just bought a widget on Amazon'.
Equally I'm looking for the equivalent in Twitter.
I've added a bunch of OG tags and share buttons but can't get it to do what I need. From further reading it sounds like I might need to create a Facebook app of some sort and use FB ui to create the link to post to the user's wall. I was hoping to do this without getting tangled up in that level of permissions etc but maybe that's not possible any more?
This is being developed on asp.net C#, in case there's a library that I haven't found in my searching.
Can anyone familiar with this type of development point me in the right direction?
For Twitter, the simplest way is to use Web Intents.
For example, if you want to share the text
I love http://example.com
URL encode the text to I%20love%20http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com and use the Twitter Web Intent URI. E.g.
https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=I%20love%20http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com
When the user clicks on that link (try it!) or is directed there by your service, they'll be prompted to share that text.
For a Facebook, Open Graph action type, what's the meaning of the "Explicitly Shared" property? How does it effect the story?
If there's a button in my app that publishes a story, does the action need to be "Explicitly Shared" or not?
Any clarifications are welcome,
Thank you!
Using Open Graph actions and explicit sharing is more powerful.
Is no need waiting to see FB dialog or confirm your action.
Stories should only be shared explicitly when people indicate that they want to share their in-app experience in the same way that they would post to Facebook themselves. Explicitly shared stories will always be posted to the Timeline of the person who shares them, and might appear in their friends' News Feeds.
Explicit sharing can happen through a variety of actions, like posting a photo or adding a message to an action they've taken. The important thing is that people clearly understand they are posting this action and must opt in to publishing this action to Facebook.

I have an online magazine with news articles and i want to make an open graph action that everytime a user reads an article a story to post in his timeline.
I have all the nececery open graph tags in my urls and a login button with publish_actions scope.
I'm one step away from submitting the action for approval but i still cant figure out one thing.
The facebook's documentation says that i need to give users an option to stop auto publishing or remove the app etc. something like the image in the middle of this page http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/actions/builtin/#read .
I saw it also on yahoo and its exacly the same.
How can i make something like this in my site? The code is ready somewhere or i have to write it myself?
Thanks in advance!
The permission remove, or just a switch to stop publish of action and the delete article functions will have to be developed by you.
I am working on the same things for my app.
creating user CP control panel containing, revoke perms buttons.
a user CP to swich publishing on and off, via true/false in mysql
an array of app activities with delete buttons.
I have a site (using PHP and JavaScript with jQuery) which allows users to display a profile, and I would like them to have the option of simply importing their LinkedIn profile, if they have one, rather than having to type everything in again.
I'm not sure what the best approach is here... I've read some of the LinkedIn API documentation, but I'm not even really sure which bit I need to look at.
The process should be:
User goes to profile management page
User is shown a checkbox saying "use my LinkedIn profile", and a textarea. If they don't want to type their profile into the checkbox, they check the checkbox, and somehow their Linked In profile is retrieved.
The LinkedIn profile is stored (or some kind of id is stored), so that the profile can be retrieved by anyone else at any time.
I'm not very familiar with the LinkedIn API, or with the site itself, so I'm not even sure what's possible. Does this sound possible, and if so, where do I start?
You can start with the User Profile tutorial here:
http://developer.linkedinlabs.com/tutorials/jsapi_profile/
The example uses jquery so it should be pretty easy for you to extend this to do what you want.
