A Client wants me too have there site connected to the Facebook API after reasearch it seems there is plenty support for PHP in the Facebook API area but very little for Umbraco and ASP servers. I have come across some things which seem to make it plausible to work alright, But to be honest, im not sure how i would go hooking it up to Umbraco?
Is it possible as a custom job inside umbraco? or am i going to have to think more outside the square?
Is it the frontend site or the back end umbraco admin tools you are talking about.
I dont know too much about Facebook API, but I am pretty sure there is a .NET wrapper version on codeplex. You could then create .NET usercontrols (wrapped in a macro) to put onto your front end website for them to use.
Then you just need to write your own usercontrols that uses these libraries, and insert them as macro's in Umbraco.

Hey again Warren, Well i mainly need the Facebook to work on the Front end, But i guess if it was possibly to have some backend it would always be better on my client(s).
Ill work on my .NET Usercontrol Skills and of course i will get a better grasp of how macros work in umbraco! Thanks!
Also if anyone has anything else they can help me to make this a simple task it will be much appreciated =D

Hi,
I'm at exactly the same stage in my Facebook API research but I have had quite a bit of experience with Umbraco and User Controls. If I pick up anything I will let you know.
I'm looking at sending status updates and posting items into the news stream after publishing a page in Umbraco. Facebook released a Twitter like API a few days ago.

You need to use one of the two Facebook .NET libraries available on Codeplex:
http://www.codeplex.com/FacebookToolkit
http://www.codeplex.com/FacebookNET
Can't remember which one is best :-/
Then you just need to write your own usercontrols that uses these libraries, and insert them as macro's in Umbraco.

Yeh your going have to get stuck in with some .NET code.
The ASP.NET site has some great videos and thats where I first learnt.
[url]http://www.asp.net/learn/[/url]
General Videos - [url]http://www.asp.net/learn/videos/[/url]
Masterpages (which umbraco uses for templates) - [url]http://www.asp.net/learn/master-pages/[/url]
Another good point of reference - [url]http://quickstarts.asp.net/QuickStartv20/aspnet/Default.aspx[/url]

Hi ,
There is a requirement to post the message to Facebook through the application. The application is developed using Java language.
I have created a App in the facebook and I got the API_ID /API_KEY and API_SECRET. Using the API ID and API SECRET I got the access_token.
Can anybody knows how to post the message in the wall of Facebook using the access_token in java ?
If anybody has done this please help me on this.
I am waiting for your response.
Thanks,
Arun
