    HI Everyone


    Please take a look at http://www.facebook.com/FanPageEngine?v=app_148891981830105

    That facebook page will allow you to view the contents only when you click on the "Like FanPage Engine" button.

    Does anyone here know how to do that?



    Any help will be appreciated.


    Many thanks in advance

    This is not a Facebook Page but a Facebook App.

    Hi Sir

    If you see the link I provided, it will not ask you to allow anything, but when you click on that big customized LIKE button, it will act as the FB LIKE and post on your wall as "you liked blah blah"

    My question is how do we create custom LIKE button because FB does not allow you to customize it.


    Pls help

    All this can be easily done using just FBML

    Just use the following condition in your Static FBML page.

    Code:
    <fb:fbml version="1.1">
    <fb:visible-to-connection>
    	Visible to people who like it.
    <fb:else>
    	Not visible to people who did not like it
    </fb:visible-to-connection>
    </fb:fbml>
    I have not implemented exactly the same here but a lot of it.

    Thanks for sharing that.

    Few questions for you

    1) How did you made your APP as default page on your FB page?

    2) How did you hide the other default tabs, i.e Walls, info, etc

    3) Can you NOT make a custom FB LIKE button?

    Its an option under page settings.

    Those are options only for members and so Facebook hide them automatically.

    I never thought about it but yes I can using the Facebook like plugin for a Facebook URL

    Hi Again

    This FBML is not supported by most of the browsers. What do you do in such cases?

    Thanks

    Hi

    I just figured that if you login as admin then this condition does not work.

    I mean content in both if and else are shown to admin.


    Is it true?
