Whats up guys,
So i'm trying to add a Tab to my facebook page, i followed all the instructions on developers.facebook.com/docs/pages/tabs
But when i click on the tab, it's not displaying anything. At first i thought it may have been the link so i tested it with paypal and it still shows up blank. I added it as a canvas and a page tab.
Here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/PersiaGrai/app/481278078749813/?ref=page_internal
Does anyone know where i may have went wrong?
Facebook loads apps into the iframe by submitting a hidden form with method=post.
Your URL answers o.k., if it is requested via GET – but for a POST request, it simply answers with a 404 Not Found. (So you will need to go investigate why now.)

I've made a Facebook Web App and added it to a already existing page, as a tab. When navigating through the app itself in it's original address, everything works fine.
The problem occurs when clicking links while using the app from the tab. I noticed Facebook added the fb_page plus a lot of numbers to the original link and it turns the link unreachable.
Does anyone know what can I do to correct it? I appreciate any help.
I have a like/send button that I've set up on a customer's home page. I have it pointed at their facebook profile page so that when people like them either from facebook or on their homepage, it's always liking the same thing.
Anyway, I've used the fb social plugins page to create the fbxml, and I'm having a problem with the send button. The like button works wonderfully, but the send button doesn't want to cooperate.
First, I had the button set up using "http://www.facebook.com/AFEDEWA" as the link to like/send. However, with the button(s) configured that way, when you click on Send you get an error message that says "The page at ttp://www.facebook.com/AFEDEWA could not be reached because the server returned status code 200."
So I did some digging on the 'net, and found some info that seemed to indicate that maybe the send button didn't like the alias / page name. I tried putting in the page id instead, and when I do that I get a different error: "The page at ttp://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=165721903513327 could not be reached."
(I removed the h in the front of the links in those messages because the board was complaining about too many links. But the actual error message has the http in full :) )
The link works either way if you c/p into your browser, and also works fine with the like button. It would appear that the send button has some issues? Maybe needs to handle redirects instead of returning a 200 OK message.... ?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. If you want to see the like/send button in action, this is the website it's set up on: http://www.coolersecurityadvisors.com
thx!
After checking the buttons on the upper right, I found an issue. It seems like you can not Like/Send URL's of real Facebook Pages using the Like/Send button. Facebooks URL debugger always comes up with the error "Facebook can not crawl itself".
If you just want that people share a link to your Facebook Page, simply create a file on your server, implement the OpenGraph Tags you want to show up on Facebook (title, image, etc.) and output this in case the Facebook crawler is visiting this site, if it's not the Facebook crawler, redirect the user to https://www.facebook.com/AFEDEWA
Fix up the 8 warnings from https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.coolersecurityadvisors.com%2F and I think that might help solve the problem.
Okay, allow me to say first off that I am working on developing my first FB app/page tab at the moment. I'm not looking for anything fancy yet, just workability.
That being said, I have managed to create a FB app that loads from the hosting requested, and displays it under the app page. I have also made it so that I can add it as a page tab to FB pages. What I am having an issue with is that clicking on the page tab for the app, it does not show any content in the iframe on the page, though it shows on the canvas page for the app.
So, my question is, do you have any ideas as to why it might be showing on a canvas iframe and not the page tab iframe? I am currently guessing that it has to do with how the signed request is processed, but am not completely sure. I am using the PHP SDK for FB given here: https://github.com/facebook/php-sdk/ for the FB-related functions, and am tracing through that currently for where I might be going wrong.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks. =)
I had the same problem and was able to solve it by providing different (http vs https) URLs for the secure and non-secure canvas and page tab URLs. Just remove post the non-secure URL for the non-secure canvas/page tab URL fields. I believe this is because Facebook doesn't check to see if the user has secure browsing turned on until after they have logged in.
You could try to change the order of appear of the app tab; it worked for me.
Facebook like button not working on my site.
It goes from like back to default as if it isn't passing some validation.

Once the problem is detected and solved, I'll edit the question to represent a minimal example that will benefit the SO community. Unfortunately I can't pull out the problem out yet as I'm not sure what it is..
Here is a screencast demonstrating the issue http://see.weareinto.com/8Hbq
I believe this is a problem happening on facebook's end. But, there is a way you can fix it... Just copy the URL of your page and enter it in the Facebook LINTER tool here:
Facebook LINTER -> https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
I'm not sure of the exact details of why this works, but from what I've been able to gather, when you run the LINTER tool on your URL it will also update the cache facebook has for your URL. The error with the button working is on the facebook side, so by running this tool and getting facebook to update their cached data for your page, the like button starts working again. I've seen this broken facebook button occur for a few different reasons, one being that a page used to use the old facebook share button. When you add the new like button to a page that used to use a share button, the like button won't work until you run the page through the linter.
Bottom line is doing this will fix your like button. If your facebook button doesn't work on a page, run it through the LINTER tool. Hope this helps!
If you are on Wordpress and you have the "Facebook Comments" plugin enabled, uncheck "Include OpenGraph Meta Information" at the very bottom of the Facebook Comments settings page. This was screwing it up for me.
I'm trying to add a facebook "like" button to my page, and it is appearing just fine. My problem is that once it is clicked by a user, it says "Like NUMBER" then resets as if the request was canceled or something.
The weird thing is that if I try to like a page using my facebook account it works, but I tried letting a friend like some content and this behavior appeared.
I created a facebook app, specified the site url with a trailing slash, and site domain. I used the app ID with FB.init, and with the open graph tags. I can't figure what I'm doing wrong here. Any help would be appreciated.

First, for the count to work correctly, Facebook needs to have access to the page (in other words a public page). Check your URL in the linter tool (https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug) to ensure it can been seen by Facebook.
Secondly, ensure your og: tags are correctly setup. Once again, you can use the linter tool to do that.
Facebook like buttons will show this behavior until they have been scraped by Facebook. That scraping (facebook like docs) will occur every 24 hours, when an admin clicks the like button or the url is put in the url debugger/linter. From what I can tell doing that will solve the problem for that specific link, but not any others you may have on your site.
I don't know of a generic solution for dynamically generated pages unfortunately.
