Question

I’m developing a site that allows a user to create an order for a product based on “One of those, one of those, three of them, that much of that” etc to end up with a shopping list them can print out and take to their local store and show to a Customer Adviser “I’d like this product with these items in please”.

I’d also like to have a Like button or something similar where you can post your results to your Facebook account – “Look what I’m buying!” sort of thing. Maybe even a link back to the client website.

I’m ultra new to the Facebook API – is anything like this possible? Have seen similar sort of ideas with people like Levi; is it possible to send complex text data to Facebook in this way rather than just “Like” a page, as the page results will be different for different users?

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible to do that.

1. Become an app developer. See: http://developers.facebook.com
2. Read thru the examples and other documentation at. http://developers.facebook.com/docs
3. Set up an app at: https://developers.facebook.com/apps
4. Get your feet wet by coding up some of the examples
5. Then get to work on your project’s requirements and code up the solution.
6. Happy coding.
