The old way of doing this doesn’t seem to work anymore.  So here is a new way that you can use.  This was shared to me by Nasif and you can check out his post on his blog if you want.

This is really frustrating for not being able to suggest or invite a facebook group, fan page or application profile page to all your facebook contacts in one click. How do you feel to select 500 friends with 500 mouse click?
The javascript code from John P’s blog http://onemansblog.com/2009/08/30/how-to-invite-all-facebook-friends-to-a-group-event-or-page/ worked well when I used it a week back back but tomorrow I noticed that the trick is resting in peace !
I was very much frustrated when I saw the code not working anymore. I decided to resurrect the trick back to life and I am successful in doing that. But don’t know when this trick will get murder again by evil facebook ! :s
There are two ways you can do it.

1. By javascript code and a little bit of stupidity

Click “Suggest to friends” on application profile page or “Invite to friends” on group, fan page or events page.

Right click on any friend and click “open in new tab”

You will land on a page which will only show suggestion window
At this point, paste the following code on to the address bar where the suggestion window is displaying:

javascript:elms=document.getElementById(‘friends’).getElementsByTagName(‘li’);for(var fid in elms){if(typeof elms[fid] === ‘object’){fs.click(elms[fid]);}}

Or

javascript:fs.select_all();

And there’s an even easier way to select all friends.

2. By using chrome extension known as Facebook Invite All

A million thanks to dawagner who made this wonderful extension. After you have installed this extension you will notice a a new button “Toggle all” on the suggestion or invitation window.

If this post helped you out in anyway make sure to tweet it, share it and click the “like” button below and share the wealth.

How many times have you created an event in facebook, only to have to manually click or Control click to select friends to and event invite one at a time?  Then do it again once you reached you limit.  Pretty tedious and time consuming, right!

If you do any kind of marketing  you probably ignored inviting your friends to the the events you’ve created because it took to long.

I created this video with the steps on how to solve this problem.. Below will be the step by step instructions along with the java script code you will need to make this work..Good luck..

1.  Create and Event. Whether it is associated with a group or just and event, just create the event..

2.  Once completed, you will be asked to invite people to come.  Your Invite box will pop up with all your friends to start manually clicking on your friends one at at time.. max of 30 or so..You might be able to do more but i find it blows up on you..

3.  Copy the Java Script Below and paste it in the address bar or the browser URL.

javascript:var x=document.getElementsByTagName("input");for(var i=0;i<x.length;i++) {if (x[i].type == 'checkbox') {x[i].checked=true;}}; alert('Done, please scroll and repeat until all your friends have been selected');

4. Left click on the mouse in the URL Field and hit Enter.. Your friends will all be selected..

Click the Invite button on the Facebook page to finally sent the invites.

Thats its, super easy!

To YOUR Massive Success,
