1.CREATE FACE BOOK PAGE
LINK:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php
I’ve already created 2 test pages but I’ll show you again how to do it:
- Use the above link
- Choose page subject
- Choose category
- Choose the name of your page
- Save new page
2. Upload your template onto your server
- The best way is to keep all the files of your template in one folder with the name of your choice.
- Upload the folder to the root of your server using FTP software
- You can test your template when online just to make sure that it works on your server…
- It works locally so now upload it to your server – I have already done it and will test it online now – It works on my server as well…
3. CREATE FACEBOOK APLICATION
LINK: https://developers.facebook.com/apps
Choose the name of your application
For example: ourappl
Choose Canvas Page name:
For example:Â nightforever
Canvas URL
Link to your website (on your server):
http://www.yourdomain.com/night-template/
Secure Canvas URL
The same link with only letter “S†added after http
https://www.yourdomain.com /night-template/
Choose the Tab Name that will appear on the left menu of your fan page:
For Example:party
Tab URLÂ will be the same like Canvas URL
http://www.yourdomain.com /night-template/
Secure Tab URLwill be the same as Secure Canvas URL:
https://www.yourdomain.com/night-template/
Edit URL will be the same as Canvas Page URL only with “edit†added at the end:
http://apps.facebook.com/nightforever/edit
Create your application
- View App Profile Page
- Click on: Add to My Page
- Choose the page you want to add the application to…
- You are done….
I hope it was helpful to some of you – I know that not everybody know how to use the iFrame to integrate FB templates into FB fan pages that’s why I was trying to give as much details as possible.
If you have any questions – feel free to contact me.
GOOD LUCK
