I tried adding the link to the developer Wiki but it was removed with the note "doesn't say a lot." I think it doesn't say a lot to people who aren't familiar with the Facebook platform. C'est la vie.
I think you should talk about the authentication process though rather than linking to another page which was mostly intended for external applications.
Good job.
After writing an application from the ground up I totally agree. The authentication process is a big black box of mystery. I'll have something up in a few days
Would it be easier to us FBML or iframe? Also, how do I find/use a hosting website?
Thanks!
The above idea does not seem to hold good. Callback urls seem to independent of the facebook.com/XYZ .....can you please confirm or elaborate on this.]
Thanks in advance.
You're right, although that's not precisely what I said. If you have a callback URL of foo.mysite.com then facebook.com/myapp/ would go to foo.mysite.com.
They're 100% independent. I shouldn't have used the same URLs because it'd cause exactly that confusion.
I've developed an iframe application using asp/vbscript, and am at the point now where the big things left to do are intergrate the "invite friends" section as well as put in the ability to feed info to users' profiles.
After reading your article I assume this can only be done in fbml? Since all my pages are .asp , would it suffice to use fbml for the invite users/feed sections? I've been looking through the documentation on Facebook and on the net for a number of days but haven't come across anything on developing apps in asp, just php and some asp.net.
I'm starting to think I'll have to learn php and re-code the entire application :( Any hints?
There's a way to use the invite UI with iframe apps. I forget how it works in detail, but it basically sends you off to an external page and then redirects back to your app with the results.
Look up the fb:request-form tag on the Facebook wiki. It should be documented there.
thanks
I am developing a facebook application on .net technology to do character analysis.Once the survey for this is done, the application result needs to be appeared in the profile page.I tried html iframe,
Thanks
The big question I have in mind before understanding FBML is what kind of application will be meaningful for my recording studio business and our customers on Facebook.
