I am trying to open a flash gallery with modal box in my iFrame Facebook app, but it is bigger than 520px. I found 2 solutions:
Insert a piece of code in the parent windows to make the modal to open with Target _parent, This is impossible since the parent windows is the Facebook!
Open flash video with iFrame inside a Facebook Dialog Box,
I have been looking for a tutorial for days without success. Anyone knows how can I do something like this:
<fb:dialog id="my_dialog">
<fb:dialog-title>My title</fb:dialog-title>
<fb:dialog-content> Flash video </fb:dialog-content>
</fb:dialog>
Maybe it's a solution for what I need, but it's more than 2 months and nobody answered this question.

Here is my page, but remember that it is a work in progress and I do not know how long it will be a useful link:

Thanks in advance.
Didn't try it out once but it might be because of fbml deprecated.. http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fbml/
If it is wider than 520px , you can try canvas page (i know user will have to leave fan page) and integrate inside Facebook. It might be even better in user experience perspective, if i have been visiting your page and in tab app if you lock my Facebook screen and show a dialog box with flash gallery, i will annoyed. It will be much better in canvas without any popups. Guess.. :)

I used divi built a website, my website address is www.pawtrails.ie, it is responsive to mobile screens, but I found when I open the link through facebook social media in my mobilephone, the toggle button is not clickable anymore. It is clickable in google chrome browser.
What is the cause for this? And what should I do for this please? I tried other social media, such as Wechat, the toggle button has the same problem.
The toggle button is not working when opening in facebook
The shop image is not displaying when opening in facebook as well
Thank you very much
It's the facebook in-app browser.
Their browser sucks, and has major display issues for most wordpress sites. If you're on an android, you can set your phone to open links through another browser. But the iPhone app forces you to open links through facebook browser.
So far, I can't find a fix for this issue.
(Edit to answer the question - sorry about that mods - noob error) There appear to be two possible issues. Firstly mixed content (http) on https enabled sites won't appear, so images etc. that have been hardcoded to "http://", perhaps from before a switch to SSL. Secondly for other issues, the Divi WP theme does crop up quite often and updating that theme seems to have fixed it for the OP when I check their site.

Wasn't sure if you were getting the replies in my conversation app. I replied on the post too: https://charlesr.co.uk/why-doesnt-my-site-display-properly-in-the-facebook-in-app-browser/#comment-9
Did you change something since yesterday, because it's working for me?
Is it possible to place an picture in the FB timeline and when click on it, a popup window with an iframe or lighbox appears?
I want place an interactive video in the Timeline. Visitors must click on the picture without leaving the Facebook page.
No, you can't inject popups/Lightboxes into the Facebook Newsfeed.
You can try use swf, and their character of custom video players, to get some interactivity. But in general, people don't really enjoy that experience.
I'm having issues when a user tries to share the URL to a Facebook tab app that I have setup.
When they paste the URL to the tab in their share window and then post their status update, the tab image is shown when viewed on their profile, however there is no image shown on the newsfeed version of the same post.
I've tried adding open graph meta tags to the app, but I believe that it is being ignored since it is located inside of the iframe, and the facebook open graph meta overrides it.
Does anyone know how to ensure an image is maintained when the tab URL is shared directly?
I've burnt a lot of time trying to solve this issue as well. The best I've come up with is that Facebook is going to chose to display the 111x74 app icon. Sharing this on a page's news feed makes it very pixelated and oddly offset, as it should be using a 1200x630 minimum image size, as dictated by the OG tag best practices, but Facebook has not allowed us to have that option in the app configs. It may be that your app icon is being offset enough to not appear like it's visible in the news feed.
So, from my research, we're out of luck until Facebook decides to fix this issue. Until that time, I don't think it's even worth trying to get the any image to work.
Someone feel free to prove me wrong.
I am creating my new website, I have a Facebook page and I would like to embed the facebook's like button and the facebook's like box directly in my actionscript... Is it possible?
In the case it is not possible, could I embed them in the html in a way I can see them over the swf?
Thank You Very Much,
Alessandro
I think you can't.
Alessandro,.. why are you making a website in flash?
ipads can't see it, iphone can't see it, and Android can't see it (unles you have firefox with custom installed flash player)
why don't you do it in html,css,jquery ??
I'm trying to figure out how to add a Fan button to a Facebook page right next to the company name. I've seen this done on a few pages, as shown in the following screenshot.
I've added the FBML application though I can't find a great deal of information on the code required for the actual button and then how to place the button on the page. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Many thanks.
For pages, that button is automatically handled by Facebook. If you are already a Fan of the page, the button won't appear. You should be able to "unfan" the page in your account settings.
The FBML application lets you add arbitrary FBML to the "box" that represents that application. It has nothing to do with the Fan button.
Visit the url that lets you edit your page information, on the right had side you should see something along the lines of "Promote with a fan box" -- that should be what you're looking for.
If you want to do it by hand you can use the fb:fan tag (http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Fb:fan)
Thanks guys. Yep I delved into the hacks for this using FBML though eventually logged out and logged in with a different account and lo and behold! Facebook add this Fan Button by default now.
