I created a Facebook Fan Page and I want to have a static FBML display on my front page. But when I used the normal href to use it on Facebook it is not showing anything. Can someone tell me how do I display an image on the FBML page? Thanks
Hi Sinddue, you can no longer create FMBL apps on Facebook. You better go with adding applications via iframe. You can host your application elsewhere and just input the url for your app and it will be displayed in the iframe. Want an image displayed? Create a simple html code with image or flash element, upload to your server and use the direct url to this app on your server as a Canvas URL. Personally, I'm using FlashMint facebook template for my iframe application and it works well. It loads fast, it can contain as many media files as I want.. no limits. Let me know if this helped you.
Ok and is there any FBML syntax which is different from the normal html syntax? Like for eg if I want to use some HTML elements in the FBML page and display that static page in the front?
Sinddue, FBML is no longer supported. Now you can write html code for your app (just like regular web page) and load it to Facebook. But there is another thing you'll have to care about, which is hosting space. When adding the information about your new fan page application, Facebook will ask you about the Canvas URL, which is the address of your application on self-hosted or any other server. In other words, now you need buy hosting to upload you fan page applications and then just provide facebook with the link to the place you app is hosted at. Sorta surprise from Facebook, but it has a number of advantages, such as faster loading speed, possibility of creating dynamic, script- and flash based applications. I've did some research and found free facebook fan page hosting at hostfb. com You can also see their collection of free facebook templates by signing up for free. Good luck. Let me know if you need more help.
