I know the URL Scheme is
findmyfriends://
but how can I open to a specific person if he/she is already a friend? Is there a way to add a friend if he/she is not already a friend?
I prefer using a URL handler but can do JavaScript. I'm trying to embed the code in a web page.
I don't think you can add friends via URL handler.

Interested in trying to launch an email link where it launches Outlook and populates the recipients with the grp email account. Or something like a link to launch Notepad. I've done some looking and the best thing I've found that doesn't work is this in markup.
[Launch Notepad](file://c:/windows/notepad.exe)
Do you know if this is possible, and what is the method to do it?

I am building an IOS app that will post weblinks to facebook and other social media using social media framework (not facebook-graph-api) and it works as I desire. eg:
http://example.com/page1.html?code=123456
I do however want that when my friends on facebook open that external link and it opens in an external browser - their facebook user name gets passed on to the browser so I can allow them to add comments to the weblink.
To clarify - the comments to be added will be on my website for the page they just opened (and not the comments in facebook)
Is it possible to do this ?
You can only do something with URL while posting it. Well if we posting URL on wall of known user then we can achieve your problem with following approach.
I think you can append name of friend as a get parameter in URL. So whenever your friend opens this link, its corresponding name is also passed along with URL. As far as security is concerned you can consider to append some security code to URL as well. Which will be validated against Name of friend.
For example.
http://facebook.com/?Name=Friend_Name&SecurityCode=Some_Unique_Code_Based_On_Friends_Name
Is there a way that of a link which an app shared to Facebook via open graph action to the news feed, which when a user/friend of the sharer clicks on it, it redirects to a landing page, where we could grab the information of the user (e.g. Facebook ID) just from the click itself? It might sound a bit magical, but anyone out there knows how?
Of course it´s not possible to just grab the user information just by his click, he MUST authorize your App for that. And you don´t get the real ID anyway, only an "App Scoped ID". Check out the changelog for more information: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog
I've a trouble with my link on published action.
When my action is published, the link appear like that:
http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%myDomain.com%2F%3Ffb_action_ids%3D3085543269620%26fb_action_types%3Dvideo.watches%26fb_source%3Drecent_activity&h=dAQF21zjX&enc=AZP6SPsPIfAKMoNKqLKjTEig1nsAERVmwUcrfURxEHA34JS11i5ofB29bXKBaOrkm0cOv-Lyg5IVTth3Kr308Qar
And I see on another app who used the same action, the link appear like that:
http://www.facebook.com/connect/uiserver.php?app_id=XXXXXXX&method=permissions.request&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2FTheDomain.com%3Ffb_action_ids%3D3056990355815%26fb_action_types%3Dvideo.watches%26fb_source%3Drecent_activity&response_type=token&display=page&auth_referral=1
Did you know why we haven't not the same publish link type ?
I want to publish with an URL like that: http://www.facebook.com/connect/uiserver.php?app_id=XXXXXXX&m.....
Best regards, sorry for my poor english :/
The link of the first type appears when a users click on a link which will take them to an external site.
The link of the 2nd type appears if the app has enabled Authenticated Referrals in the app's settings. When a user click a link of this type, Facebook links into the Authentication Dialog to generate an access token or OAuth code, the user is then redirected to the Action URL.
I am looking for a way to create a Twitter button which would automatically post a reply to an existing tweet, without the API.
Clicking the button would open a pop up window with a Twitter status form. Tweeting from the window would create a reply, which would have the tweet_id replied to in its metadata.
Any help appreciated.
Use Twitter's Web Intents for this. You can setup the tweet intent to take a in_reply_to parameter indicating the tweet that is being replied to. It's pretty much as simple as creating an HREF pointing to https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?in_reply_to=12345
If you incude Twitter's optional Javascript, the HREF will become a pop-up automatically and you can further track the events.
