Probably not. I don’t know, I’m new to this stuff there too.

any chance this can be changed? I opted for the wrong choice, but don’t see an option to reverse my choice

For the Insights section, you always want to use the App ID, not the Fan Page. It makes things simpler all around to use the Application as it was intended to be used.

Which one you connect the domain to doesn’t actually matter. You see the same results either way. But connecting it to the Application lets any admins of that app see the domain info as well. If you’re the only one, then no big deal, but if you manage your site with other people, then they would be able to see the insights page too if you connect it to the app and they’re admins of the app.

It would be great, if this function could detect, whether you are using a fanpage (as defined in the SFC settings) or the standard application page.

As it works now, the code automatically inserts the app_id, like this:

but it would be great if you could choose your page_id:

Or even better, a simple input box to override the standard setting with your custom meta tags.

sorry Otto, gotta pester you with another basic question:

when I try to do this, I can link to my profile or to my app. lets say I chose to automatically publish my blog posts to my profile and not my app, then linking this to my profile is the right choice?

besides, does the share on FB button also publish to my profile? so lets say I just want to get some more exposure on FB, can I auto publish to my profile? add like and share buttons and use insights linked to my profile, right?
