Create your own FBML Fan Page
What will a Static FBML Fan Page do for you?
- Viral Marketing
- Increased Fan Base
- Professional Look
- Generate Revenue
- and more...
|
 |
All of this information
is available for
free BUT I have compiled
it and will explain
it so anyone can
do it!
|
Step 1 - Create a
Facebook Fan Page
http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php
Select a category
and name for your
page
and click the  button. Once your page is created click
Become a Fan.
Step 2 - Add Static
FBML to your Fan
Page
Search for Static FBML or go directly to
http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=4949752878
You will need to
click "Allow"
for the application
if this is your first
time using it.
Under the image on the top left  you will see a link called "Add to
my page", click
it.
A window will pop up and locate the name
of your fan page. The list is in alphabetical
order. Once you find your Fan Page name click
the  button.
Step 3 - Go Back to your Fan Page and Edit
FBML
Not sure where to locate your Fan Page? Go
to your Facebook profile and click the Info
tab. Towards the bottom you will see an area
called Pages and a link to the right that says See All.
Click See All and
select your Fan Page. IF
you did not become
a fan in step 1 search
at the top of Facebook
for your Fan Page
name.
Now on your Fan Page
click Edit Settings
link at the top left
under your image. Scroll
down and look for
FBML - FBML, click Edit.
For Box Title: enter
the name for the tab.
It can be anything
to describe the content
of the page such
as Welcome, Specials, etc.
For the box labeled
FBML: you can enter any
HTML. Omit any <body><head><html>
opening and closing
tags.
Enter the below code to test:
<img src="http://mporgsoft.com/test/test.jpg">
After entering the code click at the  bottom.
Step 4 - Adding your
new Tab
Click the name of
your Fan Page at the top
left of the page
you are on.
On the row of tabs
click the + sign at the
far right.
A list will appear
and click the option
called
FBML, or what you
called the FBML page
as
Box Title. It also
will have the Static
FBML
icon to the left
of it. 
Once clicked a new
tab will be added and
you should see the
"123 Test" image.
Again, you can add any HTML to this tab to
make it as eye catching as possible. To edit
the tab click the Wall tab, Edit Page link,
locate the Static FBML icon under Applications
and click Edit.
Step 5 - Make your
new Static FBML tab
the
default landing page
While on the Edit Page screen from the previous
step click Application Settings for the Static
FBML application. Click Remove to the right
of Boxes so it looks like below:
Next scroll up to
Wall Settings and click
Edit. For the option
Default Landing Tab
for Everyone Else:
select the name of your
Static FMBL tab from
the list.
Note: When testing
being admin you will also
be directed to the
Info or Wall tab. Use
a different account
that is not admin of
the Fan Page to test.
Step 6 - Hide Content
to anyone who is
not
a Fan 
Want to offer a special
coupon/discount code
to your Fans? You
can make any part of your
page hidden to non-Fans.
Update April 22,
2010
Facebook has replaced
the "Become
a
Fan" button
with a "Like"
button in hopes that
the new button is
less
aggressive and results
in more "followers".
The code below is
still valid and works.
Only the appearance
and name of the button
changed.
See this feature
in action on my Static FBML Fan Page here.
Go to your Wall tab,
Edit Page link, locate
the Static FBML icon
under Applications and
click Edit.
To the beginning
of your page add:
<fb:fbml version="1.1">
To the end of your
page add:
</fb:fbml>
If you still have
the test image it
will
look like:
<fb:fbml version="1.1">
<img src="http://mporgsoft.com/test/test.jpg">
</fb:fbml>
Your "hide to
non-Fans" code
is:
<fb:visible-to-connection>
</fb:visible-to-connection>
Anything between
the tags will be hidden.
Try the below code:
<fb:fbml version="1.1">
<img src="http://mporgsoft.com/test/test.jpg">
<fb:visible-to-connection>
Thank you for becoming
a fan!
</fb:visible-to-connection>
</fb:fbml>
Save Changes and go to your tab. Note: As admin ALL HTML will be visible to
you even if you are not a fan. Use a second
account to test.
Facebook's TOS disallows
the practice of
any Fan Page from
requiring a visitor to
Invite Friends to
view content.
You can still add an invite friends box as shown below using the code (replacing my Fan Page URL with yours):
<div style="padding: 10px;">
<fb:request-form method="post" action="http://facebook.com/mporgsoft" type="PAGE NAME" invite="true"
content="Join MPORGsoft Fan Page">
<fb:req-choice url='http://www.facebook.com/pages/Atwood-IL/MPORGSoft-Hosting-Affordable-and-Reliable-Web-Hosting/227607484520' ' label='GO' />
<fb:multi-friend-selector actiontext="Join MPORGsoft Fan Page" rows="3" showborder="true" condensed="false" style="width: 400px;" />
</fb:request-form>
</div>
You can see the friend selector in action
at my Static Page.
How do I add a video to my Static FBML Fan Page?
Facebook will strip the emded tags so you will need to use FBML. The code is:
<fb:swf
swfbgcolor="000000" imgstyle="border-width:3px; border-color:white;"
swfsrc='url_of_video'
imgsrc='url_of_image' width='340' height='270' />
</fb:swf>
Looking for a more advanced FBML page? Help your Fan Page go viral quicker with the 3-step process! by © Phillip Rock 2010
Using the 3-Step Fan Page will help your Fan Page become viral by requesting that visitors:
1. Like the Fan Page.
2. Invite their friends.
3. Share, by posting to their Facebook wall.
Notice: Unlike other similar codes this 3-Step process follows Facebook's TOS. There is no 'forced' wording or gimmicks making visitors invite friends or share. They can simply click next or skip to continue to the next step. While your Fan Page will grow slower using this TOS friendly method it will assure that your hard work is not wasted by your page being deleted by using this code.
All images, buttons and text can be customized for your page.
