Topic-icon Facebook Tab & Canvas Integration - Required Application Configuration

Hey Alex,

One thing I'm noticing is that if you have a page on your site that's referenced in both the fB tab and also a normal menu item it's not holding the template and reverting to the original.

The problem here lies in showing off blog articles etc.

Won't be a concern if you're only doing two pages (Gated/Fan) though.

Cheers,

Rich

Rich,
Sorry for getting back to this so late.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. We're getting a 3.4.1 release out later this week for some minor issues that have cropped up (as usual), but nothing crazy. The only one related to the Tab and Canvas integration that we've recreated and are fixing is that if you go to the FB Page with a Reveal Page set and the user hasn't liked it.. then go to the Canvas site.. then go to the user's 'real' site outside of Facebook.. JFBConnect will redirect to the Facebook Tab Page URL.

Confusing, and uncommon, but will be fixed :)

If you can let us know how to setup the menu item issue you're mentioning, we'll gladly look into it as well. Doesn't sound critical, but we don't like bugs either.. and after 3.4.1, we want to be done with the 3.x series and get 4.0 later this month (finally!)

Thanks, and as always, we appreciate the feedback,
Alex

Hi Alex

Pretty simple to replicate:

Have a menu item set for Category, Blog Layout with 3 or 4 intro items. (No Sub Menu Items) on the main site.

Create a fB menu item as the same (even with a different name)

If you then go to the facebook site and click on (read more) on one of the intros the template switches back to the main site template.

Cheers,

Rich

Hello,
I've played with the tab and canvas, and advice anyone to try the Fuser template for the app:

I've now a really nice Facebook tab... and of course, the ability to have many tabs instead of one would be perfect. Hope you'll be able to release it soon.
Anyway, thanks, it's already a great add to JFBConnect.
