I'm creating a facebook tab application. It's added as a tab on a fan page. I want to change the tab name. I know how to set the tab name statically. I want to set it dynamically by any code like Static FBML.
Thanks.
fbml is deprecated
the tab label can be changed Page > Apps > scroll to the app > Edit Settings

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 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.
Is it possible to control a tab icon?
over tab settings?
over an API?
Why I'm asking: I'm trying to implement top company information into tabs. It's just one application. I can manually change the icon if I create a new application for each tab.
Is it possible to create one application that controls loaded iframe URL and change the icon from tab settings?
I don't think this is possible. Have a look at the tabs section in the page document, you can only update three parameters: position, custom_name and is_non_connection_landing_tab
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.
How can I change the FBML tabs Icon from the default one to a custom one, please?
It does have an icon with the new layout and it looks terrible.
Found this video about changing your own app's icon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIcG5VekxM0
But that doesn't apply to the FBML tab (since it is not my app).
As far as I know, FBML tabs doesn't have an icon, just text.
Maybe do you want to change your facebook app icon that appears on the user's app menu on the sidebar?
If it's this, you can change it on the app settings, there are two images to upload: one will appear on the permissions dialog and the other is the 16x16px that I've mentioned before.
I don't exactly have an answer but because my question is exactly the same as yours, I thought I'd add on here. But do tell me if I shouldn't be doing this and I'll remove it immediately.
I see ChickFilA uses customised icons for their tabs. Wonder if they developed their own app(s) thus the ability to customise the icon(s), or if there really is a way to customise FBML icons.
There's no icon for FBML tabs. But there's an icon for an application based Facebook tab. Here's how.
Create a Facebook app that can be integrated as a tab (Choose Page Tab Type as FBML)
E.g. Chick Fila created Spicy Biscuit app http://www.facebook.com/#!/ChickfilA?sk=app_119130604778515 that actually was later rendered as a Facebook tab (named Spicy Biscuit)
When you create an app, you can add an icon.
Submit your app to the Facebook app directory (Your application must have at least 5 total users or 10 monthly active users before you can submit it)
Now, go to the application page. E.g. Chick-fila Spicy Buscuit http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=167096109994873
Click Add to my page. Add it to the page you want to the tab embedded.
Done.
