I've been creating a new application to show a new page tab on our business page.
I followed all the steps, I set up the proper URL (iframe) for the page tab. I pushed it to my business page. Everyting seems fine but, no content is shown on the page when I click on the tab. I double-checked the url I set up, and it works fine.
What did I do wrong? I followed that guide
http://www.facebook.com/FBML.Codes1?sk=app_217481834936914
But the steps are pretty simple in the end.
Do I miss anything?
I made it work.
I realised that I set up http instead of https on my app settings and since my facebook was

I've created this facebook tab, and for some reason it will not work in IE once implemented into facebook. It DOES work on the website url where it is placed. The url is: https://www.enterprisebanking.com/assets/fb-products/
The tab works great in every browser except for IE. In IE, the entire middle section is missing and the tabs are unable to be clicked on.
Here's a screenshot of how the tab looks in IE: http://grab.by/s9Qu
Any advice is appreciated.

You have a console.log in https://www.enterprisebanking.com/assets/fb-products/js/tabs.js this will cause it to break in IE.
I have recently inherited the Admin/developer role for our page and I am new to Facebook Development. I am attempting to add a new tab to our page and the only option I am getting is to build an App but all of the App options I come across make it sound like it's trying to do more than what I want it to do.
What I want to do is produce a tab on the page. That will link to an app/canvas displaying an image that the user can click to go to our offer.
So far I've built a basic app with Display Name, namespace, Page Tab Name, Page Tab URL and a Tab image. but when I refresh my page I do not get a new tab and when I preview the app page it is not the format I am looking for.
I've tried going through the tutorials but since this is all new to me I ahve yet to make any sense as to what I'm looking for or missing. Could anyone let me know what app format I am looking for? Or am I in the wrong place entirely?
You need to explicitly add an app to a page. Not sure if you've tried it or not but navigate to:
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=YOUR_APP_ID
&display=popup&next=YOUR_PAGE_TAB_URL
Replacing YOUR_APP_ID with your app id and YOUR_PAGE_TAB_URL with the url you set for you page tab.
I used to create custom page tabs following this procedure laid down by Facebook https://developers.facebook.com/docs/appsonfacebook/pagetabs/ and everything worked well till last few months. But suddenly all my page tab apps went into sandbox mode and I am not able to create new page tab apps.
I can create new apps but when I try to add page tab URLs to the Page Tab section, it throws me this error
Error
There was a problem saving your changes. Please try again later.
Is it happening because of some change at Facebook Side or am I missing something?
Can someone point me to a fix.
Thanks in advance.
I am trying to set up a tab with a link to a contact form from my site on Facebook.
I developed the 'app' through the developers site and have set up the page tab.
I've saved the app and it saves it fine (displaying a message saying changes were saved but it might take some time to propagate across all servers.)
Well I waited an hour and I still can't add the tab to my page. I tried locating the app page directly using the namespace, but I get an error message saying:
"[My App] cannot be displayed because the app is misconfigured."
I don't know how it is misconfigured? There are no errors when saving, so I don't know what the issue is or how to go about fixing it. There are no problems with the app that I can see... how am I supposed to know what's wrong with it?
All it is is a page tab. I've put the link to the page tab in, I don't have a secure page (https) so I have left this box blank but I don't know what to do now.
Any ideas how I can find out in what way it is 'misconfigured'?
This error usually occurs when you try to view the App Center page for the app when the app doesn't have the 'App Details' tab settings populated.
So instead of:
https://www.facebook.com/appcenter/APP_NAMESPACE
Make sure you are loading:
https://apps.facebook.com/APP_NAMESPACE
That page will display hints (if you are admin or developer of the app) on what you are missing.
And, adding to the answer already given by #Donn Lee, which pointed to the right way, you must also ADD A PLATFORM in settings, in https://developers.facebook.com/apps/APP-ID/settings/
I just added 3 applications to my page using:
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=[appid]&next=[siteurl]
That all works fine, it redirects me to the [siteurl].
However, the apps don't show up on the page. In "Edit Page" -> "Apps" the apps also aren't visible.
Any idea what causes this?
Thanks!
It could be that the app is in sandbox mode and the account you're checking the "edit page -> apps" section does not have a role within your app, so they can't see it.
The dialog could also be failing. It's fairly recent and I've spotted bugs with it already. Try using http://www.facebook.com/add.php?api_key=APP_ID&pages=1, replacing APP_ID with your app's ID, to see if that's working.
Fixed it!
The problem was that I defined the secure page url, but not the non-secure page url (while we don't use the non-secure page url anymore?)...
