High to all!

First of all, thank you for sharing this nifty piece of code and
sorry, if this might be a dumb question... Its my first time
connecting something from WP to Facebook!

I was trying to integrate the WPBook on my Facebook and, actually, I
have completed the setup, recording to the shipped install
instructions pdf which is quite straight forward.

Just... It is not showing up at my Facebook frontpage :( !

I was poking around and got the application into a Box. There I went
on the pencil symbol and choosed "Move to wall". Unfotunately it does
not show up at the main frontpage, it is sitting in a little box, on
the left row.

How may I integrate the Title in the mainpage of Facebook?

If you would like to get access to my Facebook page, please let me
know, I will accept you!

Thanks for your kind feedback.

Are you referring to "your main Facebook page" as your "profile page"
If so, it is possible to move the profile box to the side of your main
profile page, this would simply provide links to your post and take
the users to the app page for that post.It sounds like you may have
already done this. It is not possible, however, to have the app show
up as a tab (like photos, boxes, etc) at the top of your profile page.
This is due to the way the plugin was built and how it interacts with
the WordPress and Facebook interfaces.

Let us know if this is what you were referring to or if I completely
misinterpreted your question.

Wow, no answer since Nov??

Like X-Bit, this is also my first time connecting something from WP to
Facebook and have the same question. The site I'm working with is
http://blog.myfavoritekitchen.com. I've used WPBook to get the blog
posts replicated on the Facebook Page http://www.facebook.com/pages/My-Favorite-Kitchen/228638638487

I don't want it as a little box in the left navigation, nor do I need
it on its own tab. I want the blog posts to show up on the Wall! Is
that possible with WPBook? I can do what I want by subscribing to the
RSS feed using Facebook Notes (as you cann on that Facebook Wall
currently), but that's not ideal.

The scholar-press dev list is fairly quiet - asking me directly from my blog or via the WordPress support forums is likely a faster way to get a response.

In the email you responded to was a question back to the person looking for support, who never answered it - we can't help people who throw in a question but then don't hang around for the follow up.

What you are trying to do is not possible in the current release of WPBook. It is a frequently requested feature and is on the roadmap, but I haven't had time to develop it yet.

Agreed. You can also use the Simplaris Blogcast Facebook Application (search on Blogcast in Facebook) which will import blog posts to your wall, but it is also less than ideal.
