Open Graph HELP NEEDED!

I mean, it doesn't look like you're offering to pay, and it doesn't look like you've tried anything yourself. Get started and come back with a specific question, or go look for a freelancer you can pay to get it set up.
Also, have patience. 2 hours isn't that long to wait...

Heres the code, do you see anything wrong with that code? Because it isnt working. The like button act like if there were no meta parameters at all.

the structure is correct, but it might be the way you are putting the parameters that's causing your issue

The "normal" way to ask for help with coding issues is actually tell us;
1/ what the error msg's are. have you looked at your servers error logs?
2/ exactly whats not working & what is working
eg are you getting a black screen, is a huge green dildo flashing on the screen, etc details, details, details

I dont get any actual errors.
The thing is that the open graph api doesnt work. I clicked the like button with the user I set up as admin and even by doing so, no pages is created. I cant manage the page at all.
Also, the message that should appear on user's profile is incorect.
It should be:
ex: JOHN like OBJECT from WEBSITE NAME
But it is:
JOHN like WEBSITE NAME
It act like if it was a simple like button without meta parameters.

I have been having this same problem.
I tested on a few of my empty domains and I can't see why it happens. It seems to be a bit hit and miss. One minute it works fine and creates the FB page allowing me to manage it. Then later on another page with all the same parameters I get the same problem as you.
Only suggestion I have for you is to remove all the FB meta tags and use ONLY the Admins tag. I have tried this and FB pulls the other information from the website by itself. At least this way you can get an idea if it actually is the meta tags causing the problem.
PS: Sometimes there is a time delay before the page is created.

@Kendra: Thanks Im gonna try it.
By the way, do you need to put the like button on the page, that is liked? I mean, do you have to own the page that you like?
I guess so because if not you could manage a page referring to any site...

So you have to own the page that you like in order to manage it, right?
I mean I could add such code to my page & control the page referring to google if not...:
<meta property="fb:admins" content="ID" />
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2FGoogle.com%2F&layout=standard&show_faces=true& ;width=450&action=like&colorscheme=light" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;"></iframe>
And also, do you use the iframe code or the XFBML code?

So let say your like button is on this page http://DOMAIN.com/page1.html
Your iframe code would look like this ?:
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2FDOMAIN.com/page1.html%2F&layou t=standard&show_faces=true& ;width=450&action=like&colorscheme=light" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;"></iframe>

I haven't used it enough to give you much of an answer on that one.
Some of my pages have been created instantly - others still hadn't appeared after a few hours. The ones that took too long I assumed were broke somehow. But it could just be some form of delay.
All this stuff is pretty new, so I guess it's not as smooth going as it should be just yet.
