Hello Members! We're ready to open testing for our initial Facebook tabs: Blog and Journal. These are two different tabs, they perform exactly the same; it's just a matter of whether you prefer to have a tab titled "Blog" or "Journal"... or both blog AND journal tabs. ![]() For an example of the Blog tab in action, you can check out WdC's facebook fan page: http://www.facebook.com/writingcom ... or you can view the tab directly at: http://www.facebook.com/writingcom?v=app_191128961879 In this case, we're simply using this announcements book as our blog item. ![]() Blog: http://apps.facebook.com/wdcblog Journal: http://apps.facebook.com/wdcjournal ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It must be a Book Item in your own portfolio. The access restrictions do NOT matter. If you have a private item in your portfolio and set it to be your tab item, that overrides the access restrictions for your facebook tab. Facebook, however, will then allow you to restricts access to the tab like they do with anything else (ie, friends, friends of friends, etc). This is done on facebook under "Settings" -> "Application Settings" -> "Edit Settings" for the app you want to modify -> Set the settings. Please note that facebook defaults this to Everyone! Once added, your Facebook tabs will show up in your My Authorized Accounts area. This is linked from your My Account page. The direct link is: http://www.writing.com/main/my_account/action/authorized_accounts ... You can update the tab's item or delete it at any time from that page. Again, this is being opened up as testing for our facebook integration. I've been working out a lot of issues with and I think we're to a stable point in development. Facebook provides some tools to us developers, but unfortunately (for fortunately), I'm looking to do far more with it than most sites. ![]() ![]() If you setup a tab and you'd like me to have a look, please be sure you're friends with me, "Joe Storymaster" ![]() Thanks and enjoy! I look forward to your comments. ~~SM |
