I am not sure what the correct way to ask this question is.
I will post a screen capture and let that assist me.
Notice the bottom of the screen capture. There is a row of buttons. They are Pictures, Likes, and BookNow buttons. How are buttons added to that location? What is the name of that portion of the screen? How can I add a button like the BookNow button?
These buttons are called Tabs which are displayed on a Facebook Page. There are few tabs provided by Facebook that a Page Admin can add to his page like Events Tab, Videos Tab, Photos Tab and Likes Tab.
Page Admins can additionally install other custom or available Page Tabs as per the requirement to increase the User's engagement with the Page. BookNow! App in your attached screenshot is a custom Page Tab that the Page has installed to allow other Page Admins to add the same to their Business Pages.
To add a custom Page Tab to your Business page you need to invoke the Add Page Tab Dialog box and select the Page from the list of Pages that your administer to add the Page Tab.

I have created some custom apps for facebook page, and also added in as a facebook page tab.
The Question is: I want to increase the tabs on facebook page, right now facebook is giving on 4 tabs 'Timeline', 'About','Photos' or 'Reviews' and 'More'.
I can arrange the tabs and move my custom tabs on the top but I want the more tabs(6 or 7) then there should be 'More...'.
Is it possible in facebook.
No, this is not possible. Also, the maximum amount of tabs that are visible (including "more") is 12. You can add more as Admin and you will see them all, but only the first 12 will be shown to a User.
I am trying to get a widget that is inside an iframe to install as a facebook page tab. The way it is set up now is the user can customize the widget, then when they have done that a button appears that directs them to the "Add Page Tab" page. The widget url for the widget they have customized is added to the end of the url so:
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=MY_APP_ID&next=CUSTOMIZED_WIDGET_URL
The problem I am running into is this: Once the user clicks to "Add Page Tab", it just goes to that widget url and not to the page tab with the url contents displayed inside that iframe. A page tab is added to the test page I have but it does not display what I want it to and I will get to that later. I have looked at some other widgets that do what I want and they redirect from that "Add Page Tab" page to the actual page tab with their customized widget in the iframe there.
I am also unsure of what I should have the Page Tab url set to in my app settings considering that the url for the widget will change from user to user. If I set the Page Tab to a specific url, it of course shows that url in the iframe after I have done the "Add Page Tab" and doesn't show my widget.
I have tried looking for a tutorial on this but I can't seem to find any. Please let me know if I need to clarify any of this. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Can anybody guide about how
does the new FB timeline incorporate the iframe for its pages.
Or is there any new stuffs coming in to replace these stufs?
The way you create and display your iFrame will be the same, except for a size change.
The new iFrame will be 810px wide, instead of 520px - existing tabs (apps) that are set to 520px will just be centered on the page, so they aren't "broken." Giving us 290 extra pixels is great!
You can no longer set a tab as "default landing page". Instead, users always see the main Timeline view and have to actively click through to custom apps.
To edit which apps you display, click the drop-down icon to the right of the tiles, click the ‘+’ button to import your custom apps, and then hover over them and click the pencil to swap them around.
If you have a contest or something on a tab which you would have wanted set as the "default landing page", you can create a post on your page which has a few sentences advertising such, with a link to the tab. You can then "pin" this post to the top of your page, so it will be the first thing users read. "Pinning" and "starring" on your Page act exactly like they do on your personal timeline.
Here's a good explanation of all changes
I succeeded in creating an custom tab for my page. When I am logged in I can view the contents of the page.
Other fb users can see the tab but not the contents.
I've added my app to my page but it doesnt show up as a tab. Why?
See attached image FBapp.png which shows all settings. When I click 'Edit Settings' for the TicketWise app I get notification: "There are no settings for this application."
Here's my Facebook application: https://apps.facebook.com/ticketwise/?fb_page_id=208837722506615
(never mind the scrollbars for now)
When you view your page, underneath the image/logo area there is a list of tabs. Depending on how many tabs you have, at the bottom there will either be a link for "EDIT" or "MORE". If "MORE", click to see the full list of tabs and the EDIT link. When you click "EDIT" you will be able to drag and drop the tabs to reorder them and place your application near the top where it will be visible by default.
For your other query:
When I click 'Edit Settings' for the TicketWise app I get notification: "There are no settings for this application."
Settings pages are something you have to create separately if your app requires it. They are a page hosted on your server, that defines parameters to be used on the tab page view of the app. You can define the page in your application settings using the "Page Tab Edit URL" field.
