Inviting Everyone to your Facebook Events

As previously discussed in the Dabbling in Digital post there are a number of little tricks in creating a Facebook profile or group, such as the Vanity URL.

So here is another Titbit:

Facebook only lets you invite your friends to a group or event one by one, for some reason it hasn’t occurred to them to include a ‘select all’ option. If you have created a Facebook group and want to invite all of your friends without the hassle of individually clicking through here is how:

  1. Go to your Event, Group or page and click “Invite People”.
  2. Once the page has loaded you should see all of your friends, but they are not selected.
  3. At this point, copy and paste the javascript code below into your Web browser’s address bar, then hit “Enter”.
  4. If all goes well, it selects all of your friends!

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

If you found this helpful don’t forget to retweet it to your friends and followers!
