I've found many online tutorials about how to create an FBML tab on a fan page that lets fans invite their friends to the page, but all of these tutorials are outdated because it became impossible to create new FBML taps after March 11th. So I'm wondering now how to create an "invite friends" tab on my facebook fan page NOT using FBML. I know the "send" button has been cited, but it doesn't really work the same way. Is the "invite friends" application extinct?
You can make facebook application, add it to your page and use Request Dialog in it's code

I'm working on a web browser app for mac. I was playing with the test app then I saw this option...
When I clicked on that, I saw this...
But there was no plus button. Is there any way I can show the plus button in the tab?
Please don't send me the link to the Apple documentation because it doesn't give the exact code.
BTW, this is not a document based app
This is an app developed by Apple Inc. You can download it. In this app, you can add tabs. So change the name of this app and you're all set

Wish you best of luck on making a web browser
I'm looking for a solution to get a list of events from a public page on Facebook to display on my website in a list. I'm using Magento 2 for the website. I know there are Facebook widgets, Facebook login capabilities, etc. I don't want any of that. I am not looking to integrate Facebook, I just want a list of the publicly viewable events so I can put them on my website. I don't want events for a user, I want the business page's events. This seems like it should be a straight forward thing but I can't seem to find anything that does this.
Alternatively, I've heard you can integrate Google Calendar to create events in Facebook, and I could integrate Google Calendar into my website. That seems a bit more convoluted as the social admins prefer to create events in Facebook, but I'll take what I can get. If this method is the best way, can you point me in the right direction? Are there libraries to use, etc?
Thanks!
Yes you're correct, you can integrate Google Calendar to Facebook and you can also embed a calendar in your Facebook Page. You don't need to code the integration, you can just follow the steps provided from this blog.
Here are the steps you on how to add your Google Calendar to your Facebook Page:
Open up your Facebook Page
In a separate tab open up your Google calendar
Click on the cog in the upper right-hand corner, and select “Settings”
Click on “Calendars”
Click on the calendar you want to add to your Facebook Page
You should see the embed code here (If you want to make any color changes or style changes you will need to do it before adding it to
your Facebook Page)
Select all the code and copy it to your clipboard
In another tab open this link: Static HTML: iframe tabs
Click “Add Static HTML to a Page”
Select the page you want to add a new tab to from the drop-down menu
Next click “Add Page Tab”
Once your page has refreshed, click “Set up tab”
Select all the text in the app editor, and delete it
Paste the code that you copied from your Google calendar
In the upper right-hand corner click “Save and Publish”
Refresh your Facebook Page and check out your new tab
For my WP7 app, I have an associated facebook page. How should I go about adding a Like button in my WP7 app that the users can click to do a LIKE? Do I create a webbrowser control that opens webpage containing the LIKE button?
Looking for some ideas. Thanks.
For applications I made, I created a WebBrowserTask and redirected the user to the facebook page URL.
With current APIs you can not run Facebook tasks. Hopefully in future :)
I've implemented a Share Picker Extender (which lets you share a photo from the Pictures hub to your app via a special token), and would like to close the app once the user has clicked on the button to upload the photo, as the built-in Facebook app does.
I'm aware of the many questions re terminating apps - I'm just wondering if I'm missing something for Share Picker Extenders ... Telling the user "Now press the back button" seems pretty ugly, but perhaps it is the only (certification worthy) way. If you've implemented a Share Picker extender, what have you done?
I wasn't able to figure out a good way to handle this either. I detect that users have gone back to my first page and say "Click here to go to our main app" and "Click back to go pack to Pictures". And if they click the first one, Navigate("MainPage.xaml");. You have to make sure you don't accidentally prevent them from leaving. I asked this question awhile ago in this thread and got no response.
In a site I'm working on, songfountain.com, we have a bookmarklet.
songfountain is like delicious and twitter, except it's specifically for song links.
The songfountain bookmarklet functions similarly to the delicious and twitter bookmarklets. It grabs the URL and copies it in to a form field; the form has a button, and submits to songfountain.com -> simple social bookmarking.
Google Notebook (when it was still available) also had a bookmarlet. Google Notebook's and songfountain's bookmarklet open the form within an IFRAME within the current page.
Delicious and twitter open a new browser window.
Opening a new browser window looks more robust, but I myself don't like windows opened for "small stuff" like this. I don't know if I'm overlooking some technical problem that I haven't run into yet.
Question: Is it better to use an IFRAME? Or is it better to open a new browser window?
From a user/usability perspective, an IFrame is, generally, less disruptive and more user friendly. It also doesn't run into problems with pop-up and ad-blockers on the users' machine.
Look at the "Note in reader" bookmarklet that is provided to Google Reader users for inspiration. There may be other tricks you could consider, besides IFrame and pop-up.
