I'm maintaining a Facebook iFrame application, and my client is worried about the transition to Timeline. Basically, they want their home page to have a big icon next to 'Photos' that takes the user to the page hosting the iFrame. The tricky thing is that users can "pledge" within the app, and they want the link icon to look different depending on whether or not the user has pledged within the app. Is there any way to do this?
Assuming the answer is no, is there a way to add a second icon for the iFrame app so that I can customize one to look different? Or would I need to set up another page hosting the same iFrame?
Thanks!
Go to Fan Page Timeline, click the arrow on the half box to the right of photos, likes etc (assuming you haven't changed the order of the apps), hover over the icon you want to change and click on the pencil icon that shows up in the top right corner. Then click "edit settings". Here you can change the tab image or give the tab a custom name.
alternatively you can enter the edit page settings, go to the apps section, edit the app, and you can change the icon from there.
in either case, you will need to be a page admin to complete the task.

Facebook just added the functionality for developers to set a default image. Here is the post in the Developer Blog.

I have an app on retool and I want to try out some different layouts. Is there a way to duplicate an app or have version control that you can revert to?
You can duplicate an app by going to the "Create New App" screen, and then instead of selecting "Blank App" you can choose "Duplicate". That'll allow you to choose an existing app to copy from.
Revision History is possible by hitting the "..." button in the top right, and then selecting "View history".
Not sure if Retool updated their UI, but I wasn't able to do this with the accepted answer.
I needed to hover over the name of the app in the list view (before you actually edit the app) and click the ... button on the right. Then, I selected duplicate from that dropdown.
I have a Joomla 2.5 site and I'm creating a mobile version of it. I want to use the same menus and same articles but adjust the content. For this I'm using a simple mobile detection plugin so it changes the stylesheet only. This all works fine.
However, I need an additional page that just contains the main menu. In Joomla you have a default page and this is currently my home page for both my desktop and mobile version. I want the mobile site to load my main menu page first then the user can navigate from there. Does anyone know of the best way to do this?
A site can only have one default page so you will need to redirect a user to the mobile menu page when they first visit the site. There's a couple of ways to do this would be to set a cookie indicating they have been to the main navigation or use session variables. In either case, you would need to add a plugin or code to the default page to determine if they need to be redirected or not.
That said, why not just make your template responsive. It's fairly easy to implement the Bootstrap framework (there are tons of templates already out there using Bootstrap) and then it is trivial to show or hide content based on the size of the screen the user has.
Hi I have got a few lists with Lookup fields from Source lists. I wish to have a Related lists (Webpart connections from 2007 days) where I select item from master and then child records are displayed. Although I have followed the instructions on the below article, the "relationship" bit is not working. The Related records from the child lists are not filtering rather showing all records from the child table.

I also encountered this issue, and the solution is pretty simple, but not very obvious. When creating a new page, you MUST be sure that you create a page of type Web Part Page. When you use the default "Add a Page" option from the site settings menu, the default page type is a Wiki page, not a web part page. Even though you can add web parts to a Wiki page, the Wiki page does not include the functionality for implementing web part connections.
Once I created a page using one of the Web Part Page types, I was able to use web part connections.
have you tried this:
Browse to the affected page, and then open the page in edit mode.
Click the drop-down arrow in the upper-right corner of the Web Part for the tasks list, and then click Edit Web Part.
On the right side of the page in the Web Part properties controls, click the plus sign (+) on the Miscellaneous section, click to select the Server Render checkbox, and then click OK.
Save the changes to the page.

All I want to do is create a few pages with sign up forms for our fans and customers on our business facebook page.
I created the new app, named it and went on to the basic settings. From what I can tell I just need to set up the "page tab" info. I Named the tab, put in the page tab url, secure page tab url and uploaded a tab image.
Then I wait for it to show up on our fb page. I refresh the page and for a few seconds it looks like something is being loaded in the list of tabs. But then it stops and the layout of default tabs (photos, likes, and events) are unchanged.
The tab should link to the app url which should load inside of an iframe which will have the html from our web server.
That's how I understand it anyways.
You must add manually the application on your page through this URL: http://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=APP_ID&redirect_uri=https://www.facebook.com/
Remember to replace APP_ID first.
i've a proect opening with user authentication page (asking username and password). There are some extra buttons here which the app navigate to a single page when the user clicks (up to that point there is no need for table view but from those sub screens app can navigte back to that main page). In addition, if user is authenticated then the app will navigate to a page which lists some items on it (table view) and then navigate to some detail views back and forward. And i also want my app to have core data support.
Navigation based or window-based are two major possibilities, aren't they?
thanks
It sounds like you are building a navigation based app. If you look at your app without the login page, it sounds like a textbook navigation based app. Generally a login page will be handled by just using presentModalViewController on top of your existing navigation controller.
