Once I had created a fully working model of my project the final stage was to check its compatibility with the Facebook page, in particular looking at fan posts and comments. Therefore to test this I used another account to add posts and comments to the Facebook page that was not an admin of the page, and the ran the application. Unfortunately upon doing this I found that the posts and comments did not show up in the feed, and so did not show up as part of the application either. However if I posted items myself (as the admin of the page)the RSS would pick the changes up. In terms of comments however, even as an admin, they would not show up on the RSS or in the application. This meant there was only one way to get the feed to pick up the necessary data, which was to ensure all users were made as admins, and that they only posted directly onto the wall. This was in all intensive purposes a major set back for the ease with which I could get data added to the Facebook wall for my application, but did have a work around so I decided to stick with what I had created so far and use the work around to make my project work. This would mean inviting people to the page and then also telling them to only post onto the wall and making them all admins. Admittedly this is more information than I ever intended to provide users of the page, but it was necessary for the project to work as a whole.
