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.

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'm trying to add my Facebook app (iframe integration) to a Facebook business page. But can't figure out the rifht way to do it, because Business accounts can use apps. Looked through all Facebook Docs&Help and found nothing. (
Will be grateful for any clue.
Thanks
You just need to configure the Pages Tab options (last one on the Apps Basic Settings page). Check out https://developers.facebook.com/docs/appsonfacebook/pagetabs/ for instructions. Let me know if that was what you're looking for :)
I've tried using both. If I like the URL for the app (http://apps.facebok.com/myapp) it counts the likes, but I don't get content from the community page. The community page was generated from the developer app tool for this app. If I use the URL for my generated community page, I do get posts to the community page. My only issue with that is Facebook automatically offers to share the URL when you like it now and the URL that gets shared doesn't take users directly to my app. Is there a setting that I missed to make this all work with the APP URL?
I have had a similar issue with this. You could share the URL to the community page and have that page redirect the user to your app. This way, any shared links will direct users to the app and you will get the content from the community page.
After much research (and looking at source for other Facebook applications) the answer is to create a community page named the same as you application and in your application use the like button with the URL of the community page. If you set it up properly, the community page can have a link to your app if it is on Facebook.
It feels like a huge mistake on Facebook's part to not have a better connection between the page URL and the community page. Perhaps this will improve in the future.
I want to include on my web site a 'Find us on Facebook' graphic and link it to a facebook 'business' page - nothing more sophisticated than that. Do I simply copy the graphic from another random web site and put in my link, or is there a better 'facebook approved' way of doing this? (I've tried it the non-facebook way already and its necessary for users who click the link to log in to facebook. Can anyone also advise of the privacy settings that will avoid this)? Thanks
Have you considerd making use of the Like Box social plugin? See http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/
The plugin mentioned by nav is definitely the way to go. By using the facebook plugin, users won't have to login (granted they're already logged in to Facebook). This is because the plugin can access the cookie set by Facebook whenever they logged in. Your ad-hoc link cannot do this.
Check out https://www.facebook.com/badges/page.php This is what you're looking for.
You are correct in the fact that you can use a simple image and a link to the page.
However the answer provided by NAV would be the most 'facebook approved' way.
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.
