Shopify product tab and facebook description issue - facebook

I'm newbie on shopify and Right now I'm creating a shopify store. I'm facing two issues on my shopify store.
I'm using the paid theme and it does not have any tabs option on product page so from long time I'm putting the content by using simple HTML code (Ul/li tags) in the description box. But now I wanted to add a proper tab section because I have a lot of products and it takes a lot time to code every time for individual products. So please suggest some plugin or way to add tab sections on the product page backend. (I've no issues in paying for plugin as well)
Another issue is that my facebook is automatically picking up all the content from description and tabs as my shopify store is connected to facebook and whenever I try to add products on facebook it takes the complete content from description and tabs as well. I just wanted to put product description on my facebook and do not want to add tab content. (This could be because right now I don't have separate tabs section and I'm using html code in the description section to add the tab section on my shopify store)
So I'm hoping that separating a tab and description section will resolve my both issues. but If it doesn't resolve the issue then what option option I can try to resolve the facebook issue.

The best would be to start with a Shopify built theme.
Then you can arrange a chat with the Shopify Theme guys, they help you with lots of additional resources to tweak the theme. The support team for Shopify is very helpful.
Also, the FB channel within your Shopify page can be tweaked to solve this issue.

How to hide a pre-built app tab from a fanpage temporarily during development

I'm wondering how to hide a Facebook tab from a published fanpage while the tab is under development, so that it only appears for page Admins?
I know you can do this for custom built apps (the sandbox setting), but here I'm not referring to a custom built app, but prebuilt apps like Static HTML.
In order to edit tabs it seems that they have to be added to the page, in order to be able to edit them. That's a problem when customizing a Facebook tab, as you don't want your fans to see your work-in-progress content until it's ready to be published.
Any one who has experience with this?
You could show it only when an admin is logged in by checking the session.
I can't help you more because there is too few information of what you're using..

I'm unable to add an app to FB to stream my Google+ posts to my FB page. What am I doing wrong?

I'd like to have my Google+ feed show up on one of my FB pages. So I logged into FB, and located the app: Google Plus Tab for Pages.
I installed the app (and the tab) and get the message Your tab is not configured correctly yet.
Underneath, there's a button, Configure.
I click configure and put in the appropriate details, my Google+ numbers, which of my FB pages I'd like to add it to, etc. .... Then select Change.
Then I get the following error, no matter what computer I use, what browser I use, etc.:
Google+ to Pages
Add Google+ to your page
Don't forget to configure your settings after adding the tab.

Easiest way to create a Facebook application

I need to create a simple tab page with custom content inside. How on earth I can get there the shortest and easiest way? Maybe I want to track the users who liked the page, but that's not compulsory. I just want to create a tab-page, which can integrate into a page and shows some custom content.
I have created an application at Facebook, the thing is, I don't know where to head from here, to include some content in the innards of that page...
I guess you want a static FBML tab. It is hard to find on Facebook, however it is possible to find a link like this. If you are logged in to Facebook then it should take you to a page where you can add a static FBML tab to one of the pages you administer. After that you can customize the tab content from page settings.
A page tab or any application on facebook can be and usualy is considered a normal website. You'll need the same things that you would if you wanted to create a website. You'll need a server, some storage space, possible a database (if you want to store date about/for your users).
There are ways to get started for free - lots of free hosting companies out there. You can start your search here
Facebook also has links to [develop applications in a cloud system].
There are different types of facebook apps, but one of them is just a canevas app.
So you ca include an external web page in a facebook page. It's pretty similar to a frame i think.

How do i add a custom tab to a facebook "application profile"?

When creating an application an application profile tab is provide with the application... How can i add a custom tab to this page? Is this just not possible?
The settings of such a tab are different then the settings on a normal fan-page? also facebook documentation is very meager about this subject...
It looks like Facebook changed it recently (October 2011). In the past I used to add custom tabs to app profile pages without any trouble, but now I can only add custom tabs to fan pages. I had to use a 3rd party iframe app provider (Involver) to achieve this. I am still looking for an alternative solution since these services are a bit expensive.

facebook tab fbml and dynamic content

Per the new profile/fan page tab rule that eliminates the iFrame option, is there a way to dynamically generate content for a given tab? I've seen methods that wrap a canvas app (but requires a user to click to load content), but I want to show updated content thats managed on my servers. I thought you could also update the FBML using the Graph API, but haven't been able to find anything on that.
You can display static FBML on Application Tabs which is dynamically generated, you just can't auto-load anything that's dynamic on the client side (until the user clicks something)
You'll need to make sure you setup the application to be installable to pages as well.
