I need to post on a website the wall notifications of a Facebook group, the group and the website belong to the same entity.
I've looked at many of the options available, but I would apreciate if someone with a bit Facebook developing experience told me what is the best path (most straighforward).
The website is not intented to interact with Facebook in any other way, there would exist no Facebook login button, and this one wall would be the only one being consulted.
I've looked at the possibility of grabbing an rss feed from the wall, but that option doesn't seem to exist.
The website is being done with asp.net (c#).
And Social Plug-ins are Exactly for that purpose. For your requirement you can use Live Stream Plugin. Look Here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/live-stream/enter link description here
Similar to your choice of getting an RSS feed of the group activity, you can use the Graph API to get the activity as JSON objects, at which point you can render them to your page.

I designed a contest application for my Facebook page.
The application is a web application (MVC / C#), using Facebook connect to authenticate users.
I would like that when a person wins in the game, the application publishes on my Facebook page (not on the profile of the user, only on my page) a message like "Georges B just won a Bluetooth headset."
I have no problem with development or code. But Facebook is a gas plant and it is very difficult to find up-to-date documentation. I tried with Token users, but it does not work anymore. I do not know how to do it because the majority of tutorials on the web use this solution.
Thanks.
OK, negative notes without any explanation. This forum becomes anything. I understand the basics of respect but still, it is not with repression that people are advanced ... Explanations would be a minimum.
I'm going to fend for myself and I'll only read the existing posts without participating in the future.
is it a possible to make a search engine to works better than google and yahoo ?
i should do a mini project for my internet engineering course.
my website need a search engine (( asp.net ( c# ) )) Website.
when a user search word in my website, my search engine should send a request to Google,yahoo,... and receive their first page links and show that links as a result in my Website.
in fact i need to send http request to another site and parse the results.
i don't know how should i start and how to do it.
is there any guide for this project ?
Better? No.
The same, yes:
Google custom search API: https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/overview
I guess you are looking for something like Google's Custom Search Engine.
Quote from the link:
Make searching your site easy
Sign in to Custom Search Engine With Google Custom Search, add a
search box to your homepage to help people find what they need on your
website.
I'm having problems displaying a Facebook feed on a webpage. The purpose is to display the feed of a Facebook Page (http://www.facebook.com/kvaernerasa) on an external page, but I'm missing something.
First of all, I'm using Facebook's own "generator" to create the activity feed box:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/activity/
It asks for a domain (http://www.kvaerner.com)...and then what?! I want the feed for a Page, so there is no app id. How will it know what feed I'm asking for? I also need the feed to be displayed without requiring that the users are logged in.
I've managed to display the RSS feed (not styled), but would prefer to use Facebook's own plugin. What am I missing here?
Is the Like Box, as mentioned by TommyBs, the only other option? How have other sites implemented this?
"The Activity Feed plugin shows users what their friends are doing on your site through likes and comments" That's the description from FB. To me that means it doesn't show native facebook page feeds, just information relating to the pages on your site so I don't think it's what you're after
I think what you want is the like-box

Using Facebook's new Open Graph technologies launched just recently at their F8 Conference, how do I retrieve the facebook user id when a facebook user hits my open graph object? Is this even possible at all?
As per this video:
http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/564/
I've created the object
I've also initialized the object and action on facebook:
object --> video
action --> recommend
If you go to the above .htm file and go view source, you will see the meta tags that I am using. I am referring to my pazooza:video object type, the one I created on facebook.
But the point of this is that when a facebook user hits the .htm page to view the video, then I want to record that users hit in the database.
Does fb send a signed_request or user id via the querystring or do I subscribe to the .htm file somehow and my server gets a response from facebook? I'm a lil confused any help would be appreciated.
I'm using ASP.Net MVC (Facebook C# SDK).
Never mind I found the answer, well part of it.
My architectural approach to the problem was wrong. I've spoken to one of the developers on the facebook c# sdk and some of the samples he gave made me realise how the open graph works. Or "facebooks" version of it anyway.
The MVC design pattern reigns supreme in this case. By having actions mimic the actions in your facebook open graph implementation you can now publish real-time events into the graph and have them available to new and existing users.
See this post: http://facebooksdk.codeplex.com/discussions/274238
new to facebook dev and I have read the basics to get a site up and running using the canvas setup. Nice and simple, I have also got the integration with users working ok (i.e. the signed_request).
I was wondering how it works with "sending/posting" data from one site that is anonymous (my own external to facebook) to the facebook site.
The flow I'm after is a user is looking at some content my site A (my own external site) and then clicks the "share on facebook" button (or whatever), which sends the user (and the data they were looking at) to the site B (my facebook app) to which they authenticate and then (and this is the part I dont get) can see that content on their personalised homepage within site B.
So is there a way to POST some kind of data to the facebook site? Or do I need to do something else here?
Thanks a lot.
You use the facebook API located here:
http://github.com/facebook/csharp-sdk
The .zip download includes the api that you can compile, as well as a sample project that uses it.

EDIT
Here is some more info regarding the facebook graph api. I think you'll find everything you need in here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/
