Hi there,
Just getting started setting the extension up for a customer.

For making an app, in the instructions it says...

1) Log into the Facebook Developer Center at: www.facebook.com/developers
2) Log into Facebook with the account that you want to 'own' your Facebook application
3) Click the "Create New App" button as shown below etc etc

The customer has a profile, and has set up a page too. Do I have to use their profile login details to make the app, or could I be added by them as an admin, login as me, then make the app that way? How would I do this?

It's just they might not want to give me their profile details, but I think I have to be logged in with their profile to make the app. Is this right?

Thanks for your help!

The Facebook Application has to be created by a Facebook User. It can't be created by a "Page". They can make the app themselves (just hit create and name it), and then they can add you as an administrator of that app to finish the configuration.

There are no other ways to create it though.

Hope that helps,
Alex

Sorry to double check, but I can't get the customer to use the "Add another admin" link on the 'page' to add me, then I go from there to make the application?

Or is it admins of pages can't make apps?

Thanks again for the quick reply and your patience!

No. A Facebook Page is totally unrelated to a Facebook App. They can be made to work together in a few ways, but each needs to be created by a 'user' and they can't create other.
