Another change for Facebook Apps

Hi.
I’m starting to think seriously about going to US to have a quiet talk with Mr. Suckerberg. Can’t he keep the platform without mayor changes at least for a few months?

The point is that one customer has notified me that now you can create new apps, as always, but once in the new APP settings, user has no more the “Add to Facebook Page” option on left menu. I’m trying to dig around to discover where the (f*) option should be placed, but couldn’t. There is a new option inside “advanced” panel on left, that allows you to create a new FB Page for that App. But not the option to include it in an already existing one.

Note that this only affects to new Apps. Old apps seems to keep the mentioned button to add to any existing FB Page.

Please, if someone can take a look, it will be appreciated!
Also, hope this helps to understand user request for any author with FB files.

Tough job, this business.

Only compared with this. The one from the cow, i mean.

looks like even to do that now you have to write code for yourself

See the Adding an app to a Page section at https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/611/

@pezflash, follow the below instructions in order to add an app to one of your pages:

https://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=YOUR_APP_ID&next=YOUR_TAB_PAGE_URL

2- replace YOUR _APP_ID with you app’s id
3- replace YOUR _TAB_PAGE_URL with the url of tab on your facebook page
4- Hit enter and you will get the Add To Page Dialog
5- Choose your page and click Add Page Tab

I did, i was testing that method at the same time as you, i guess.
For some reason i can’t get all my FB Pages on that combo list.

But even working, what a stupid method!!
Really can’t understand what was the problem with the old (simple, wonderful, easy and missed) “Add to my page” button on each App settings page. There are many voices on that thread claiming for the button back to its place. Hope FB will heard some of those voices.

“a quiet talk with Mr. Suckerberg” that was cool – how quiet would that be

As quiet as the FB interface.

FB became waste of time already, don’t blame iceberg!
