I am having trouble setting up default landing tab for fans. Apparently the Landing Tab featured in Manage Permissions works only for Non-Fans. So when a fan returns to the page is currently being redirected to Wall rather than the Default Landing Tab. How do I make a fan redirect to a custom default landing tab apart from the Wall.
There is no option for this and this is standard behavior for a long time. You can only set a landing page for non-fans. You can log a feature request here.

I have a wordpress site which is meant to use via Facebook page tab. I have made a page tab and added an iframe tag which opens the site into the page tab. I have added a Facebook plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facebook/) to publish new posts to my page's wall to get more traffic to the site. All this works perfectly.
My problem is the following:
The plugin publishes a link to e.g. www.mysite.com/fb/new-event/. The site is meant to use only via the page tab, not at that domain. The link should be customized to open the page in the Facebook page tab via iframe.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this or how to achieve the solution another way?
I think that it can be done by customizing the link to point first at the right Facebook page tab and then inside the iframe to the correct page.
Good Day,
Is there any way one can have the Facebook Iframe tab as the default landing page on Facebook, after a user liked the page.
That means when ever a user who "liked" the page visit the facebook page again, he will see the tab first and not the wall as a default.
Go to your page, go to Edit Page, go to Manage Permissions, there you will see Default Landing Tab...
Then parse signed_request and redirect user if needed...
There is no way to set the default landing tab for users who already like your page - only for users who don't already like the page
The settings of facebook application give under:
App settings>> Wall Settings>> Default Landing Tab for Everyone Else >>
provide an option to set the default landing page as wall.
But changing this setting is not working at all ..
i have checked for user who has liked and user who has not liked my application.
Is this a FB Bug ?
Liking has nothing to do with it. That setting is for your app's Facebook page, not the app itself (i.e. canvas page). When a user comes to your app's page, that setting determine what "tab" is shown.
since facebook changed the whole fbml, apps and fan page stuff I've got a bit confused.
I need to make a welcome page (tab) for users who has not liked the fan page and a start page for users who have liked the fan page.
What should I use; apps, fbml, iframe etc.? How/where should I start?
Just need someone to point me in the right direction :)
For now you can still use the FBML tab

Add it to your page, type in some code, make it a tab on your page and select it as the default landing page (in your page settings panel)
I am trying to add a new box on the main view of our Fan Page.
And populate it with HTML from our main webserver (django) when the user opens the fan-page.
Is there any way to do this ?
You should read up on creating facebook applications...
Once you have an application you can setup a page tab application and add that to your fan page.
Finally go to your fan page settings, and the "Manage Permissions" tab. There you can set your "Default landing tab". Be aware, as the administrator of the page the landing tab will not work for YOUR account - you'll have to log into a different facebook account to see this behaviour.
There's two way of reading what you want to do :
1/ You want a landing for non-fans
2/ You want a landing page for all your user
The first one is achievable by creating an application and fill the page tabs fields (PAge tab name, Page tab url, secure page tab url). Then going to the App Profile Page, add it to your page. Then on the admin panel of your page pick your app as default landing tab.
The second isn't achievable. One a user likes your page, its default page is your wall and you can't change it.
I'm not sure exactly what you wants to achieve, hope I helped.
