AEM page properties dialog not showing the tabs for author users - aem

In the AEM page trying to add a new tab for the page properties dialog. The new added elements are showing and those are working fine when I logged in as a administrator, but when I logged in a authoring user, in the page properties the newly added tab is showing as empty. Tried all other alternatives and checked the permissions too. Any help on this is really appreciated.

Give Read permission to content-authors group for etc/cloudservices, it will resolve this issue.

tiki-wiki: how do i force newly created pages into a category based on the user's group?

I need for certain users to only be able to create pages in certain categories based on their permissions. One reason for this is approvals ("flagged revisions"). If a user can create content outside of any category, then it could show up live on the web site. Even thought it wouldn't initially be linked anywhere directly in an existing page (except other unapproved pages) this can still be a problem.
I can prevent the user from creating a new page in the global scope (apparently this corresponds simply to "edit" permissions as I don't see a special permission for creating new pages), and then I can grant them permission to edit pages in the category their group is authorized to edit. But I can no longer see the "Menu:Wiki:Create a Wiki Page" option, and I can't figure out how to allow the user to create a new page in that category.
I can edit the group and set the "Default category assigned to uncategorized objects edited by a user with this default group" to the desired category. When I do that, a user in that group now has a "Create a Wiki Page" option show up in the Menu:Wiki sub-menu, but clicking on that does not bring up a new page for editing; instead if just brings up a list of existing wiki pages, without the option to create a new one!
If I create a link to the new page from an existing page, I am unable to edit it in any way. Clicking the link takes me to a page which indicates that the page does not exist, but which does not provide any way to edit it. Putting the title of the page directly in the URL, as in tiki-editpage.php?page=New+Page+Name brings up a "You do not have permission to edit this page" error page. Since any new page created by the user should have the category they have permission to edit, this does not make sense unless the category isn't set until after the initial edit permission check occurs, which creates a catch-22!
How do I let the user create a new page in any of the categories they have permissions to edit in?
If Categories are not the best tool for the task that's okay too. I don't really understand the difference between Categories and Structures with regards to which is better for what I'm trying to accomplish, however it seems Categories are the more "native" feature, which is why I am trying to use them.

Can't add page tab to Facebook page - get no prompt to add page

I relate to this well known Page Tab Tutorial by FB: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/appsonfacebook/pagetabs.
The third step, after filling of page tab info and adjusting of the tab width is getting a prompt to select a page, to which the newly created tab will be added. But i don't get this promt, like it's written in the tutorial and seems to be the normal case for all users.
After i edit tab details and press "save changes", the page reloads with "saved"-message, like on this screenshot,
and i see no further given possibility to add created app to any of my pages. If i go into the administration area of any of my pages, in the tab "apps" is this newly created app not present, so i can't add it from there too. What i'm doing wrong? The solution must be simple - i go crazy:( I tried it with Firefox and Chrome, setted off all popup- and adblockers - nothing goes...
Thanks for ideas and advice!

The "manual solution" to this problem has changed. While logged into facebook, visit this link in your browser:
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=YOUR_APP_ID&redirect_uri=YOUR_URL
There are two parts of this link you must change before it will function.
YOUR_APP_ID: Find this in your app settings or app dashboard URL. It's a long number, 16+ digits.
YOUR_URL: Use the URL of the content your new tab page will call, ie "Tab Page URL" as entered in your app settings.
This newly modified URL will load a page with a dialog where you can choose which of your Facebook Pages to add the tab to.
These instructions appear here but they are far from clear. Good luck!
For anybody who will look for solution:
to add a page tab to any page do it manually: edit a link
http://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=HERE-COMES-APPID-OF-YOUR-PAGE-TAB-APP&redirect_uri=http://www.facebook.com
fill into the link the app id of your newly created page tab and run this link in your brwoser: you will get a site with the prompt from the first image i cited in the first post. There you will be able to select one or, with pressing SHIFT, many pages to add your app/page tab.
You must choose "PAGE TAB" in the dialog ! ! !

CQ5 sidekick elements disabled

I have an issue where at a specific path the sidekick items are disabled and I can't edit components on those pages. I'm logged in as admin and from the siteadmin I can't delete or move pages. If I go a node level lower or switch websites I have all of these permissions.
All if the items in the sidekick are visible but are greyed out. I can't see page properties when I'm on the siteadmin page either.
After reviewing the javascript console I see this happening:
charset=utf-8&cq_ck=1389020093589">http://testsetver.com:4502/home/users/a/admin.permissions.json?path=%2Fcontent%2Fwebsite&charset=utf-8&cq_ck=1389020093589 404 (Not Found) widgets.min.js:19516
I've seen similar behaviour when we had content moved via a package and it ended up creating a page without an associated jcr:content node. This doesn't have to be on the page that you are having problems with, it could be a sibling page. I would check the integrity of the pages under that website.

No longer able to create Facebook Page Tab App

I used to create custom page tabs following this procedure laid down by Facebook https://developers.facebook.com/docs/appsonfacebook/pagetabs/ and everything worked well till last few months. But suddenly all my page tab apps went into sandbox mode and I am not able to create new page tab apps.
I can create new apps but when I try to add page tab URLs to the Page Tab section, it throws me this error
Error
There was a problem saving your changes. Please try again later.
Is it happening because of some change at Facebook Side or am I missing something?
Can someone point me to a fix.
Thanks in advance.

Linking your app to an EXISTING page

I've searched and searched and can't seem to find any info in regards to this...
We have a facebook page (facebook.com/companyname). We also have an app on facebook (apps.facebook.com/companyname). I can create a NEW community page from the app, but i cant link it to the existing page. How come? Is there any way to do so?
There's plenty of similiar questions and no one has had an answer yet.
Thanks for the help!
You should go to edit your page and change the category to Brands & Products and sub-category to App Page.
Then go to app details and select this page as app page.
#Muhammad Javeed - Thanks to you, I finally figured this out!
For those who need a little help, this was what I did.
Goto your existing Facebook Page
Click on 'Edit Page' button and select 'Edit Settings' from drop down menu.
Click on 'Page Info' on the settings page.
Click on 'Category' to expand selections.
Select 'Brands & Products' in 1st drop down and 'App Page' in the 2nd drop down.
Click 'Save Changes' and that's it.
Go back to your App Developer Page > App Details > Contact Info > App Page > Link to your Page.
Unless Facebook changes the menu/settings page dramatically, I can confirm this works!
I have done significant research into this. There is no way to do this (though it's such a common use case where someone already has an active fan page and launching an app later)
Earlier every app used to have a profile page (which was not like fan page) and facebook at the start of the year gave ever app admin to move their likes to another fan page. This option has been removed.
There is another way that I have discovered.
Create fan page for the app (from app details section) by clicking "Create Fan Page"
Goto pages and select this newly created fan page and rename it to be the same as the other active fan page(with which you initially wanted to link to). This is needed because merge option appear when 2 pages have same name and same category.
Goto your active (original) fan page, click edit page, goto resource and click on merge pages and do the marge.
However as someone has already reported, there is a bug in the system, on merging it removes the app link (something that will be fixed soon). Here is the link to the bug.
http://developers.facebook.com/bugs/413029272079414?browse=search_5033475a2a50c9f73780526
I tried the other answers but didn't worked for me.
What worked for my case is that I needed to make the name of the fb page & app's name match EXACTLY. And after making them the same I now see a dropdown and then selected the right fb page.
If you've linked them correctly you should see a new button called "Play Now" on your page, if its a game app.
Check it on this page
https://www.facebook.com/pages/4-Pics-1-Word-Tagalog/499833986805671
I fixed this issue by:
Choose only one App Page for the page Category
Go to https://developers.facebook.com/ Setting > Advanced, scroll down to the App, now you can see the button to choose the existing page
Create a second Page on App Advance Settings.
Now go to the other first Page Settings you have and Merge.
I have been struggling with this same issue. It appears that the name do not need to match entirely but at least the app name needs to start with (part of) the page name. I found this since the page name was longer than the allowed max name length of the app.

App page itself is a category, selecting this category would be the only option.
Also, Fb App name and Fb Page name must be the same for integrating existing page.
Are you talking about adding a tab for your app (apps.facebook.com/companyname) to your existing page (facebook.com/companyname)?
If so, then go to your page (facebook.com/companyname) and in the URL type in
"https://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=[YOUR_APP_ID]&next=[YOUR_APP_CANVAS_URL]"
That should automatically direct to a form asking you which 'page' you would like to add a tab to. Select the page from the drop down list and click ok. That should redirect you to your app canvas url. Navigate back to your company page and see if the tab appears at the bottom of the list on the left hand side.
Cheers.
