In my app I have a small custom button that just shows an FB icon and links to the business page. I want to have the button perform a Like so that my Like number on the page increases.
So far I only see a way to fetch the Like graphic from FB with a link there to like it. How do I skip right to the Like?
Your user needs to go to a page on facebook so that facebook can confirm their account and their intention to "like". You can't get around this - it's by design so that spammy applications can't force users to "like" against their wishes.
