Thanks for that reply Steven. I managed to post to the fan page using your code. But I have 1 problem… The post has my name and profile picture rather than having the ‘page’s’ name and profile picture. I am one of the administrator of this page. Can you kindly let me know how can I post as the page admin and not as self?

Hi Davidson,
210 User not visible. The user doesn’t have permission to act on that object.
The user need to have permission to publish on facebook. please check the below

Hi Sven,Ondra and Frank,
You are referring that you see the posts that are done on your Fan page, on your own profile stream. This is done by Facebook , in the same way that you see the actions of your friends or any other pages that you are Fan of on a wall.

Solution: In that case you cannot do anything, nor is this a misconfiguration and more a Facebook feature that causes the duplicating of wall.

I have finally figured it out. The problem was that you (as fan page’s admin) have to give facebook application extended permission to publish to pages’s wall. The only way how to do it is described here http://thinkdiff.net/facebook/update-facebook-page-status-automatically/ and very useful discussion is here http://forum.developers.facebook.com/viewtopic.php?pid=170278

Than you can call $facebook->api_client->stream_publish($message, $attachment,$action_links, $target_id) and it posts to the wall as fan page not as the user.

Hello,

thanks for the great informations. I think i have the same problem as Frank. I search for a way to publish on my fanpage not as a fan but as the admin of the fanpage. The Website links to the related facebook fan page with two test entries. Second entry was done using your script (from Sven M…. as a fan) and third was done over the website (from beatillz.de as the admin). Is it possible to publish on the fanpage with the script looking like the third entry ? I hope you can understand what my problem is. Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Sven

yes, exactly, my scenario is to post only on the fanpage (i want the posting to happen automatically when certain events occur on my server)

Hello,

I would like to do the same as Frank wanted. To post to fan page as fan page that it says: “Fan Page From My App: publish steven on facebook Fan Page” and not “Ondra My App: publish steven on facebook Fan Page”

I do not want to post to my wall. Just to fan page.

Please do you know the way how to achieve this?

Thank you.

Hi Frank,
Do you want to publish only on fanpage? and not on your wall?
