Hi,

From step 2) from Configuration Setup:
2). Log into Facebook with the account that you want to 'own' your Facebook application

Please clarify how to setup the facebook prior of this step, should have a facebook page only (when I say page I mean a business page) or should use a normal facebook account? If we have only a page, it's still possible to connect to www.facebook.com/developers ??? Don't think so! We'll need a fb account...

But is we have an fb account (which have a page), then how this page can have a Facebook application??? Is not possible, only fb accounts can have fb applications...I really don't understand how will work....

Sorry if my question(s) isn't clear enough, but I spent half of the day trying to figure this out, I can't move forward with the configuration of JFBConnect..

Thanks in advance!

You need to use a Facebook Account (Personal) to create an application. It can't be created from a Facebook Page. Everything in Facebook must be 'owned' by a personal account, so if you have a Facebook Page, you can create the application with the same user that created that Page.

Page's never own applications. However, a Page can show a tab in it's left menu that links to an application. Many Pages can link to the same application (since there is no ownership of it).

For example, we have a Facebook Page (www.facebook.com/SourceCoast) and the Application that's used on this site. On the Page, in the left menu, is a link to "JFBConnect". That's our Application (just a page from our website) in a Page Tab. We have full instructions on how to setup a Page Tab below:
www.sourcecoast.com/jfbconnect/docs/facebook-page-canvas-setup

Hope that all helps, and makes sense. If you need more helps, let us know. It definitely can be confusing, we understand where you're coming from!
