Select All Friends on Facebook Invites
Author: Sabra
Having to click on each and every Facebook friend can become tedious when you are trying to share a page, event or group. Is there a better way? Of course there is, just follow these easy steps. I have used this code myself several times for the Anything Web You Can Imagine page and a few of my friends’ events on Facebook.
- Go to the group, event or page and click the suggest to/invite friends link.
- Once you see your friends’ pictures loaded, erase the current URL from the address bar of your browser.
- Click on the box below containing the code and copy/paste into the address bar of your browser and press enter.
- Depending on how many friends you have you may have to wait for a few seconds to see them all selected.
- Once you see them all highlighted, click the ‘send’ button on the Facebook invite window.
- Please keep in mind that also depending on how many friends you have, it may take a while for all of the invites to be sent. They get queued.
javascript:(function({elms=document.getElementsByName(“checkableitems[]“);for(i=0;i<elms.length;i++){if(elms[i].type=”checkbox”){elms[i].checked=true;if(elms[i].parentNode.className.indexOf(“disabledCheckable”)<0){elms[i].click();elms[i].parentNode.className+=” selectedCheckable”;}}};})();
UPDATE: Facebook has changed the way they display friends when trying to invite. I have not yet found a solution to the new code changes they have made, but as soon as I do I will update.

Not sure I understand what you mean. Are you saying this is the way to refer all your friends to a new friend request? I have several separate groups of friends on FB that don’t know each other so wouldn’t necessarily be beneficial to connect them all.
Something I would like to know how to do though on FB in case you know, is pm/email all in a particular group at one time. Is that possible?
Thanks

This is to select all of your friends to invite them to a Facebook group, fan page or event.
Your friend groups on Facebook are different than the action groups that I am speaking of. Those are groups of your friends within your friend list. You can send a message to a set of grouped friends by typing the name of that group into the ‘to’ box of the message unless that group contains over 20 friends. You can only message up to 20 friends at a time from your Facebook profile.
On the other hand, if you create a Facebook Group page, you will then have the ability to ‘Message All Members’ of that group page.
Great information! I’ve been looking for something like this for a while now. Thanks!
What a great resource!
Hey very nice blog!!
Great site. A lot of useful information here. I’m sending it to some friends!
This is an updated code since Facebook changed their method of displaying friends on invites. I will look into the issue that you are noting here & provide an update. Thank you!
