I have searched through many pages on SO and cannot seem to find the answer I am looking for.
I have a website (created via CMS SiteCore) that I want to display via an iFrame on a Facebook page. however, due to some SSL issue (I still do not fully understand the issue, but I know it is related to SSL), Facebook will not display it.
I thought a possible solution would be dwonlaoding all of the content (HTML, CSS, Images, etc) and just recreate it in an HTML editor app for Facebook. Wrongo. The app does not let me upload images, and when I link to the images on my server, it hits this SSL issue again and will not display images.
I just want this page to display when clicking on the app. Here is the page:
http://www.pplweb.com/home/social/facebook/pplcareers/v2/careers_fb_v2_hj.ashx
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Yep you require a SSL Certificate can get them as low as $17 in Geotrust if need be or a dearer one in hostgator or godaddy as well and they will install it for if have them as a host... once attached to domain should show the site or webpage in FB within Iframes... Also as the previous poster need to have domains the same one using the iframes in FB as that is where you want it right displayed...
Hope helps

I am trying to share a from my site on facebook
and it just wont display the image.
I tried the debug tool
and it says that every thing is ok...
the most wired thing is that when I put the same page on a different server it works fine!!!
and how can I clear the facebook cache ?
thanks alot
Check to make sure that there is not a setting on your server preventing Facebook from programmatically scraping the image data. I have recently run across this issue where the settings on a server were restrictively secure to the extent where Facebook was not able to grab the image data for sharing purposes and make a copy of the image into its CDN.
I have installed the vBulletin Facebook app for a client, and am trying to link the app page from within the sidebar on the Fan Page for the site. However, the page returned upon clicking the link is blank. I think this may be a fault on vBulletin's side (which sadly has little to no debugging facilities that I can see), possibly the referrer does not match the App URL. Has anybody come across this problem before?
Any possible workarounds via Facebook? I have tried setting the Page URL to the apps.facebook.com URL but it didn't work and through a search I've found that it's not the right approach anyway.
Edit: I have also tried iframe within an iframe, like setting the page url to a page and having an iframe in that one. It didn't work, but then again it's fairly obvious why it didn't. The last resort I think would be to see if I could reverse engineer the vBulletin code to ignore referrers or allow a different one (if it's even the problem).
Double edit: Perhaps just a way to send a link off to a new window via the app tab??
Thanks
Is it coming from an SSL site? I think now all fan pages have to come from an SSL site or they will error out. -Buddy
I'm working on an iframe style app that pulls the facebook optimized page available at http://store.starrco.com/?store_mode=facebook. I've done other, admittedly much simpler, iframe apps before without issue but though I've configured this one more or less the same when I try to view the canvas url it remains blank.
My settings can be seen here: http://www.abstraktmg.com/clients/starrco/starrcofbsettings.jpg
I've tried a few different permutations of this with the same results, this is the most complete setup though and most closely matches the settings template I was given.
This page is being generated by Webasyst's shop-script, which is specifically supposed to support this. The obvious answer then is to contact their support which I did, but after assuring them that my app settings matched their template, they said I needed to contact Facebook support and this is as close as I could find to any proper support system.
I checked both http and https versions of store.starrco.com/?store_mode=facebook and both worked outside of facebook.
However, there may be some framebusting code which might prevent the site from being loaded in an iframe. And I see that your settings appear to be missing the app domain entry.
I ran into the same problem, especially in Chrome and Firefox. The problem is, when the user is surfing with https on Facebook, the https Version of the iframe is called. But the browser do not show invalid certificate problems until you to right click page information.
You need to have a signed SSL cert by a CA trusted in the browser.
If the user has accepted it without the iframe - outside of Facebook, it works.
I am trying to upload samples of facebook fanpages on my page. I used to work with Static FBML in the past but the pages I want to upload have javascript etc so I think that they will have to be uploaded somewhere else. I am out of ideas where do professional fanpage developers upload their fanpages. I will be very thankful if you can guide me. Thanks
if you're talking about pages that you can add to a fan page it used to be fbml no they use iframes the source goes in any domain of your choice, so if you have hosting somewhere just upload your page there and copy/paste url when creating your app. Hope this is what you are looking for.
Check this out for more info.
I think what you are trying to do is add a custom tab to your Facebook Fan Page like I did here on mine: www.facebook.com/daterraweb
To get it done, you need to create a page and as an admin you can create a custom page tab to host it.
Basically you just need to create a document like you would for a webpage and host it at your hosting of choice and then go to: https://developers.facebook.com/apps
On the Developers apps you can create a New App each can be configured to work as a tab on the page.
I hope this helps. Good lucky.
If you still have questions about this, please check this link: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/appsonfacebook/pagetabs/
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.
