i have a website where there is a radio ad being played - and a FB "like" box - if someone clicks on a video within the FB stream it goes to FB and the website with the radio ad keeps playing. I NEED to figure out how to make the website close.
I am a graphic designer, not a web expert - but i try, please don't bash me for not knowing the correct lingo. I use adobe dreamweaver and am aware of the "target" preference but that only applies to something that is linked.. OH I'm using IFrame when asking for the code in FB for the like box. please please help me!

In my iOS app, I am opening a URL in a UIWebView. On the webpage, there is an option to login through social media like Facebook, Google, Twitter etc.
But when I click on the login through say Facebook option, I see a blank screen. What happens is that, it opens a pop-up in the same UIWebView instance. But I am not sure why I see a blank screen.
The URL works well if I use Safari on my device.
Can you please guide what options on UIWebView shall I enable that the pop-ups work. Also I feel that the pop-up(for FB Login) will throw a callback on the initial page. So please help me how should I handle the call back.
Thanks!
I'm confused. I think I've fundamentally misunderstood how to use Open Graph stories + deep-linking across my iOS/Web app. I'm hoping someone can help me clarify things. Here's what I have:
A web app set up that takes http://mywebapp.com/?video_id=XXXXXXXX
Properly configured meta tags for app-links
An iOS app with similar functionality that communicates with an API
Facebook sharing on the iOS app.
Here's what I expect:
See a link (ON MOBILE) in either the Facebook app or Safari, when I tap the link get the 'Install App' or 'Open in App' UX
I experimented with simply linking to 'http://mywebapp.com/?video_id=XXXXXXXX'. It doesn't work UNLESS I go to the object debugger (https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/) and 'Fetch New Scrape Information' for that video_id (i.e. it doesn't work dynamically, the page has to be scraped.) I also tried using Open Graph sharing with a contentURL and a combination of custom objects/actions/content/stories and at no stage did the Facebook app offer to open up the iOS app (again, unless I scraped the page in advance).
Have I misunderstood what is possible? I take it that if I scrape + link to http://www.mywebapp.com it'll work fine, but I want to have custom stories like:
'User X played video 'Y' using MyWebApp', but that kind of dynamic sharing WITH a concept of deep linking/app link/whatever seems impossible. Does anyone have any experience with this?
When trying to use Call To Action button into facebook to add "Use Application" button on my page, it asks for my ios app link but I don't know what to fill there. I've tried many things without success :
myAppName://
myBundleId://
myStoreId://
Do you know how to build that app link please ?
Thanks in advance.
The Facebook documentation on App Links should help you with your problem:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/applinks
Basically you need to setup a URL that has <meta> HTML content which Facebook uses to identify your app and deep link to it. You will need to configure for deep linking in your app too.
Hi I have a requirement in my app. From my ios Application(myapp),i share a link to facebook. Then I opened up my facebook account in browser or Facebook application and clicked the link, link should open in myapp if myapp is installed in the device otherwise link should open in browser. How can I achieve this ? Please suggest me step by step. Thanks in advance for your consideration and help.
I am not sure if this is possible. I have looked at various questions including
Is it possible to register a http+domain-based URL Scheme for iPhone apps, like YouTube and Maps?
as I am sure you might have already done but these questions target their own app, mainly web app, but you want that behavior to occur from an app that is not yours like twitter or facebook. But what you can do is show them two links on facebook/twitter, if they have installed press link 1 and if they want to install, press link 2 and you can pass parameters in link 1 as you might already know.
I will also keep checking answer of this question if some one comes and gives a better solution.
There is an option called custom URL scheme in iOS. It will help you to create a URL scheme which identifies your application. You can post link with this URL scheme and when you tap on this link on your iOS device it will open up your mobile app. Please see the link below to know how to setup this.
Custom URL Scheme in iOS
This is called 'deep URL linking'. Facebook have built a service called 'App Links', which seems pretty cool.

How do you load the Facebook "Like Button" at the "top" of your home business fan page (to the right of your Facebook company/page name)?
You cannot. You're not allowed to mess with anything outside of the iframe which Facebook gives to your app to play in.
