It’s amazing how fast 6 months can go by!
Last October I wrote an article about when FBML would completely end and we would now longer be able to use it.
We knew last Fall that this would happen in June, but now we have an exact date. FBML will no longer exist after June 1, 2012.
With the advent of iframes for creating custom Facebook pages last Winter, FBML became deprecated, which led us to believe that it would eventually go away. And we were right – the dates have finally been disclosed.
In March of this year it no longer became possible to add the FBML application but pages that were already using it were able to continue using it and their pages created with FBML still worked fine.
A year ago I wrote about how to add a share button to a custom Facebook tab.
Based on some information received by one of my commentators it seems that the share button is not working as expected.
The share button does share the page but then redirects the user to an unexpected location.
On custom Facebook pages images must exist on your own server (or somewhere else on the internet) and linked to from the Facebook page code.
The only images that can be uploaded directly to Facebook are the logo for your fan page and the image used on your profile page. For the best logos and other designs, people need to check Graphically and get the best graphic designs.
FBML provides code that will pull your profile or logo picture to your fan page so you don’t have to link to it from a different server.
Here’s how you do it.
FBML provides the code to include a little share button, like the ones you see on the bottom right of the wall, on your customized fan or business page.
When you are on any tab on a fan page other than the wall, there isn’t a share button, so it’s useful to be able to add one so that visitors can share the page with their friends or even post your page to their own wall.
And this little bit of FBML is super easy to use.
