Topic-icon Adding specific page to Facebook tab (and add more than one tab)

Hi

I want to show a specific page of my site in a Facebook tab. But I can't figure out how to do that. Anyone?

Furthermore I'd like to have more than one page in different Facebook tabs coming from my site. Is this possible? And if yes, how to do this?

Hope someone can help me out.

Regards,
Hans

In the Autotune -> Facebook App -> Page Tab area, you can set the Page Tab URL to whatever page on your site you want to show. That page will be shown whenever a user clicks into Page Tab from your Facebook Page.

For the Page Tab URL you specify in Autotune (for the Facebook Application you created and set in JFBConnect), you can also configure a special template and even a "Reveal Page" if you want to force users to click the Like button in your Facebook Page in order to see the actual content from your site.

To create additional pages, you simply need to create more Facebook Applications. In the Facebook developers area for that Application, you set the Page Tab URL, similar to how you do it through Autotune. You can add as many Applications to you FB Page as you want and JFBConnect won't have a problem with multiple pointing to your site. You just need one that JFBConnect is in control of for authentication, reveal page, custom template and other features.

I hope that helps explain, but if not, just let me know.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,

Thank you for your answer. After searching for a very long time I discovered the way to add my other apps to my page.

One last question: within the component I can select a different template for the facebook tab page. Does this work with the additional pages too?

Regards,
Hans

Hans,
I'm glad you got things going. If there's any feedback you have on how we could help make things simpler, let us know. Generally, we don't interact with additional Application / Page Tabs, so we don't have much documentation on doing so. We shouldn't interfere with extra ones, we just don't implement any support for them either.

As for the template, in the JFBConnect -> Page Tab configuration area you can set the template to use with the primary Facebook Application you've set the App ID / Secret key for in JFBConnect. We don't currently support forcing the template for other Page Tabs that aren't configured in JFBConnect as your Facebook Application.

I hope that helps, but if you have other questions, just let me know.

Thanks,
Alex
