    <p>When I try to publish a custom action I am get an error (below) claiming that the URL representing my object is of type website. As you can see from my object html I have included a. og:type '{app_namespace}:{object_name}' tag, in fact this code was mostly generated by the developer app. I have successfully published custom actions in the past for other apps and I cannot figure out what is different this time. Any suggestions would be appreciated.</p> <p>Facebook Error:</p> <pre><code>{"error":{"message":"(#3502) Object at URL {URL} has og:type of 'website'. The property 'issue' requires an object of og:type '{app_namespace}:{object_name}'. ","type":"OAuthException","code":3502}} </code></pre> <p>Object Html:</p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt; &lt;head prefix="og: http://ogp.me/ns# fb: http://ogp.me/ns/fb# {app_namespace}: http://ogp.me/ns/fb/{app_namespace}#"&gt; &lt;meta property="og:type" content="{app_namespace}:{object_name}" /&gt; &lt;meta property="fb:app_id" content="{app_id}" /&gt; &lt;meta property="og:url" content={URL for this Html} /&gt; &lt;meta property="og:title" content="Sample title" /&gt; &lt;meta property="og:image" content="https://s-static.ak.fbcdn.net/images/devsite/attachment_blank.png" /&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>Code I'm using to publish the action:</p> <p> </p> <pre><code>&lt;head&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; function clickHandler() { FB.getLoginStatus(function (response) { if (response.authResponse) { FB.api('/me/{app_namespace}:{action_name}?{object_name}={object_url}', 'post', function (response) { alert(JSON.stringify(response)); }); } else { //If user not logged in initiate login process FB.login(function (response) { if (response.authResponse) { FB.api('/me/{app_namespace}:{action_name}?{object_name}={object_url}', 'post', function (response) { alert(JSON.stringify(response)); }); //actionPublish(); } else { //user cancelled login or did not grant authorization } }, { scope: 'publish_actions' }); } }); } $(document).ready(function () { window.fbAsyncInit = function () { FB.init({ appId: '{app_id}', status: true, cookie: true, xfbml: true, oauth: true }); // run once with current status and whenever the status changes FB.getLoginStatus(updateButton); FB.Event.subscribe('auth.statusChange', updateButton); }; (function () { var e = document.createElement('script'); e.async = true; e.src = document.location.protocol + '//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js'; $("#fb-root").append(e); }()); }); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;div id="fb-root"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;button id="publishButton" onclick=clickHandler(); return false " &gt;Publish&lt;/button&gt; &lt;/body&gt; </code></pre> <p></p> <p>Edit:</p> <p>If I paste the fb object URL into the debug tool I get the following error:</p> <p>"There was an error in fetching the object at URL 'http://www.thepropagator.com/takeAction/draft_1/demos3/issue_4.php', or one of the the URLs specified via a redirect or the 'og:url' property including one of <a href="http://www.thepropagator/takeAction/draft_1/demos3/issue_4.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.thepropagator/takeAction/draft_1/demos3/issue_4.php</a>."</p> <p>If I try blocking out the URL tag all together the error goes away, in either case when I try to publish an action Facebook sends back the error saying that the object is of type website.</p>

    2. CO[Facebook's Debug Tool](https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug) will show you what Facebook is detecting for your URL - make sure you're providing valid metadata to the crawler (and not just to regular web browsers) and that you don't have an og:url or HTTP 301 redirect in palce

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
