Facebook Removed View App Profile Page link For New Apps
Posted by in Internet December 28, 2011 3 Comments

Meaning we can not add Facebook App as a custom tab to your pages as before. According to Removing App Profile Pages on Facebook Developer Blog, Facebook announce officially that they will remove App Profile Page on February 1st, 2012.

In order to solve this issue, there is a way called Add Page Tab Dialog that allows you be able to add a Facebook app to an eligible Facebook Page that you are an admin of. Of course, there no need any required permission.

We can implement this Dialog by using either Direct URL or JavaScript to add an app to a profile page. However, I like Direct URL as it’s simpler with URL format and an example as below:

1. Add Page Tab Dialog URL Format

http://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=_your_app_id_&redirect_uri=_your_url_

+ _your_app_id_: your Facebook application ID
+ _your_url_: the URL that the user will be redirected after clicks the Add Page Tab or Cancel buttons on the dialog. It could be the Canvas URL or Canvas Page.

2. Add Page Tab Dialog URL Example

For example, let try with a URL below or click here to get the Add Page Tab Dialog:

http://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=246714398703948&redirect_uri=https://apps.facebook.com/rapid-apps/

    Undeniably believe that that you stated. Your favourite reason seemed to be at the net the easiest thing to keep in mind of. I say to you, I certainly get irked at the same time as other people consider issues that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the highest and also outlined out the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a signal. Will likely be again to get more. Thanks
