Sudhir,
If photo is approved by venue admin then the process to publish will be two folded.
First - photo is published by venue, description, link and geotag are the same as for user posting. Second - photo published in venue timeline should tagged on user's behalf. Tag as himself or herself.
Denis, As mentioned earlier we were trying to implement the functionality for posting photo to Venue timeline along. The posted photo had to have URL, user description and the user had to be tagged on the photo. The functionality was similar to the "Posting on User's Timeline" task.
However we have found a limitation / bug with Facebook API that restricts tagging a Facebook Page (in our case venue page) photo. Please refer to this link http://developers.facebook.com/bugs/147932672009060 on the Facebook site that details out this issue.
So Step 8 as mentioned in the venue flow diagram will be pending
At the same time looking at the Instagram snapshots you had provided here, it seems that the photos were "User Tagged" We would like to know whether that was done through Instagram or through the FB Application.
Regards, Robin

I did tagging manually
I will think over what can be done
Denis Slabakov on November 8, 2012:
It means that we should implement posting to venue timeline on user behalf
It will look a bit different, please check enclosed.
The photo should be accompanied by the same attributes - text review and short link to LikeLabs server. Enclosed examples does not follow this rule!
It will limit venue admin to share photos only published by user, but it looks much more appealing then publishing on users behalf to venue timeline.
we need to get read_stream permission - Provides access to all the posts in the user's News Feed and enables your application to perform searches against the user's News Feed
If you see the photo I posted under likelabs album, I had done a Like Action through the Facebook API for a user - Robin.Panicker
Although the Like Action works, it does not bring the same feeling as a Tag Action. Please let me know your thoughts. Meanwhile I would continue to see if we have a better way to do this.

Hi Robin,
I do not see any other way to overcome this issue.
My suggestion is to publish photo on behalf of the venue, LIKE on behalf of user, add comments (if any) on behalf of user. I do understand that we will duplicate user comments, but let's keep it this way.
Denis.

Hello Denis, We have implemented this functionality change and deployed it on the server. Now the photo will get a like action on behalf of the user, when the photo is published on the timeline.
I hope that you are aware of the fact that for this to happen, the user should have granted permission for the FB application to perform this action on behalf of the user.

now we can do tagging in FB app!!!
Robin Panicker on November 15, 2012:
Great! We will get this implemented Denis. I would suggest that we keep the "User Like" action also along with the User Tag action. What do you suggest?

Another option to explore!
It is seems to be possible to use link graph to share a photo or text form user timeline to page timeline (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/link/)
It will limit venue admin to share photos only published by user, but it looks much more appealing then publishing on users behalf to venue timeline.
we need to get read_stream permission - Provides access to all the posts in the user's News Feed and enables your application to perform searches against the user's News Feed
Please let me know your thoughts.
An example is at https://www.facebook.com/EuropartsRus

Please disregard my suggestion to post on behalf of user and using LINK to publish
There is an easier way to overcome a tagging bug.
Please do LIKE action on behalf of user instead of tagging, it should work
Denis.
Robin Panicker on November 9, 2012:
Was trying out the second suggestion you provided.
Please check the below sample Facebook Page that I created which would be equivalent to one of our Venue Page:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/RR/442101322517662
If you see the photo I posted under likelabs album, I had done a Like Action through the Facebook API for a user - Robin.Panicker
Although the Like Action works, it does not bring the same feeling as a Tag Action. Please let me know your thoughts. Meanwhile I would continue to see if we have a better way to do this.
