Generally errors with the tab mean you’ve not supplied the right setting for tab url in the FB settings for your app – as described here.

Should the FMBL problem be fixed by now? I mean when you try to insert the created App in a Tab from a Page Profile. I get all sorts of warnings :(

Perhaps it’s just me…

Hope to see the 1.5 version soon, as the integration with the pages will make WPBook a killer plugin for Facebook – WordPress interaction.

If you need a Spanish native speaker for plugin localization or instructions -whatever-, let me know.

thanks again.

In your case I get an error about FB_RequireFeatures not being defined.

Not sure why that may be happening, but usually it means that the Facebook JavaScript has not been loaded – are you running any plugins which try to check the parent href url? (Redirect, request rewrite, frames busting, etc?)

i do have a problem, i can’t seem to get the scroll bar to come up in facebook, nor will facebook resize its own page to match my blog. i have all the settings as posted, iframe, resizable, etc, but no luck. i’ve played around and set all the options to something else in hopes of fixing it, as well as tried ryan’s tip for the theme/index.php file.

if i keep the options as outlined, you *can* scroll if you use the down/up arrows on your keyboard. not exactly ideal tho.

thanks!

Thanks very much!

Because I’m not too comfortable with php…
and I’d need to re-patch it each time the plugin gets updated… I’m going to skip this one.

I hope John gets a chance to review the problem
and then he’ll see whether it’s in the current
code or a problem of my doing.

I’m leaving the faulty custom footer code for a while longer.

Thanks again, Peter, and MANY THANKS! – John…

FB_RequireFeatures(["CanvasUtil"], function(){
FB.XdComm.Server.init();
FB.CanvasClient.startTimerToSizeToContent();
});

Save a copy of the original config.php if your a novice in case of something going wrong.

If this function is not added by developers, you will have to repeat these steps in the future every time you upgrade.

$homeurl = ‘ <a href=”‘.get_bloginfo(‘url’).’”>’.get_bloginfo(‘url’).’ </a>’;

$homeurl = ‘‘.get_bloginfo(‘url’).’‘;

one more time

$homeurl = '\'.get_bloginfo('url').'\';

$homeurl = \'\'.get_bloginfo('url').\'\';

Use this at your own risk. I have not tested it very much.

plugins/wpbook/theme/config.php

in the function custom_header add
$homeurl = ''.get_bloginfo('url').'';
after the line that starts$permalink around line 103.

then

add $custom_template_header = str_replace("%homeurl%","$homeurl","$custom_template_header"); after the line for $permalink about line 136.

Upload the file to the plugins.

Then add %homeurl% in your footer.

Use at your own risk. I am not a trained PHP programmer.

Still have the bad link problem – the one that’s created at the custom footer box in WP. You can see it on this page, at the footer of the post. I left it ‘live,’ but twisted, so you can view it:

The thread is http://wordpress.org/support/topic/358079?replies=1#post-1372270

When you hover on the link on the FB end, you can see that the link is bad in a number of ways, not just the slashes. Somehow, rather than taking the viewer to the homepage, the homepage url gets added to the page address. I wonder how that happens.

Thanks again,

MN

Obviously, my explanation didn’t go thru properly, but I think there’s a real problem…

Here I go again:

When I enter the following into the Custom Footer box:

Posted on %date% at %time%. <br />
To view this and all other articles, commentaries, and much more, go to: <a href=”http://www.israeli-occupation.org”>www.israeli-occupation.org</a>

After I Save the WPBook settings, it changes the above into the following:

Posted on %date% at %time%. <br />
To view this and all other articles, commentaries, and much more, go to: <a href=\”http://www.israeli-occupation.org\”>www.israeli-occupation.org</a>

Again, note the extra slash \ after href= and after .org

You can also see it on the FB end on the following post entry – I believe it should be visible to all FB reader:

http://apps.facebook.com/israeli-occupation/2010-01-25/hamas-attack-mubarak-over-new-gaza-wall/

Please go to the footer of the post displayed on this FB page and hover over the link. While hovering, observe the url address that shows at the bottom of your browser (status bar) – it has them extra slashes that point in the wrong direction [ \ ]… which you may be able to see above now that I used the < instead of the < to define the link.

So, I may be doing something really stupid, or there might be a problem wheh WP saves the custom footer that includes a link.

Thanks again!

I opened a thread there as your requests above.

1. Well, I started without the href and got a dead link… Now, I enter the following in the custom footer box:

Posted on %date% at %time%.
To view this and all other articles, commentaries, and much more, go to: http://www.israeli-occupation.org

When I save it (still within WP, WPBook app setting page), it turns to the following:

Posted on %date% at %time%.
To view this and all other articles, commentaries, and much more, go to: http://www.israeli-occupation.org

Note the extra slashes in the link, resulting in a working link leading to a 404 error…

I tried keeping the trailing slash after the domain name and it made no difference.

Is it something wrong I’m doing?

Thanks again!

1. Hmm. Have you tried entering the full html (a href= and all) for a link?

2. Right now you can’t have the app running in a FB tab at all. FB Tabs only allow FBML.

3. You can add the application to multiple pages and multiple profiles – it is designed to be added to all your blog readers’ profiles.

THANKS! I finally got it to work properly… :-)

Eagerly awaiting ver. 1.5 – we definitely need the excerpt rolling into the Page Wall.

A couple of tiny comments on possible improvements:

1. It seems that when entering a link in the Custom Footer box, starting with http:// it ends up not as a live link… It would be nice to have yet another opportunity to direct the viewer to the original website/blog article page.

2. Not sure whether it’s possible to have the app running in *both* a FB tab and on the Wall. Might be useful.

3. Not sure whether it’s possible to have the app running on both a Profile and a Page at the same time. I know I’d like to do that…

Thanks again!
MN

But it is finicky. If other javascript erros happen on the page they can prevent that call from firing.
