[andrewkthx]

Hey Thanks for this info =) just an extra question, have u figured it out how the reveal tab after like works now? I'm really having hard times with it =(!

Cheers!!!

@andrewkthx I used a plugin called Facebook Tab Manager. The plugin had some real funky behavior but the reveal function actually works. There are a few tweaks so its going to be my next video if i can make some time. If I remember correctly, it mangled the before and after code, so I built everything outside the plugin (two separate regular pages) and then told the plugin where each were. If you get caught up, send me a message and I'll go through it again and give better directions.

@digitalrenewal Thanks for ur answer :) I totally get you, normally I use some kind of code like // If a fan is on your page

if ($like_status) { $a = file_get_contents("LINK FOR FANS"); echo ($a); } else {

// If a non-fan is on your page

$a = file_get_contents("LINKS FOR NON FANS"); echo ($a); } and blablabla but is totally not working now u.u facebook and their weird stuff -___-!

@andrewkthx id much rather throw a script in there too, than use a bulky plugin. Seeing that I was bypassing most of the plugin, I was gonna pick through their code to see how they wrote their reveal function and just add it to the theme. it might be a little over my head, but worth a shot. If you get it, Id love to know!

[andrewkthx]

@digitalrenewal sure I will try to figure it out =/! cheers :)!

@andrewkthx I just double checked the code. I DIDNT use two pages. I used the shortcode option with the plugin.I created one single wordpress page. added the shortcode [fblike like="0"] around before the code and [fblike like="1"] around the after code.. then i linked the app to that single page and let the plugin handle the reveal. Sorry i sent you off in the wrong direction! should be easier to grab the right code. I have the feeling this is more along the lines of what youre looking for too.

[andrewkthx]

@digitalrenewal I basically solved it, but I had to rely on the facebook graph, for this reason I think I'm not in the right way, but at least is working for now, so basically instead of making point to a page itself I create another php class calling the plugin and creating the conditional "if fan" or not and redirecting the right page, using 2 pages of course, I have the code available if you need it, send me a pm I will send it to you.

[digitalrenewal]

@andrewkthx of course i want that code! send it when you can. THANKS!

[andrewkthx]

@digitalrenewal seems like I cannot paste links in here, send me a DM on twitter I will send it to u =)

Thanks for your hard work on this. It couldn't have been easy to sort all of this out, but at the end of the day I have to question if I really want to have to continuously deal with administrating yet another wordpress installation just so I can have a clickable banner at the top of my FB fan page. If Facebook is making these constant changes to keep us from building decent landing pages, they may have succeeded. At a certain point, it just isn't worth the effort.

[digitalrenewal]

@costumebot its the whole security issue thats messing everything up, but im sure facebook doesnt like to be hacked. most people dont have their sites hosted on an SSL so thats the reason for a separate install. You could easily create a simple html page or even just an image and skip the whole wordpress thing. I presented it in wordpress because thats what most people know. With facebooks popularity and credibility, businesses sure will jump through hoops to run effective campaigns there.

[artbandits]

:) step 11 did the trick for me... searched for hours to get a tab on the page. And another thank you for telling the date that also was very usefull

[digitalrenewal]

@artbandits, im happy to help you finally find the info you were looking for. Facebook keeps moving stuff around, its impossible to find. Yes, all of the information out there about landing pages is already outdated. They change so often, figured i better let people know when this info is valid. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[digitalrenewal]

@TheAlkimizta Im so glad you liked the video and thanks for responding! App profile pages are already gone here in the US. Now, you type a url in your browser and add your app id. It brings you to a dropdown where you choose which page the app goes on. Youtube wont let me post the correct URL, but you can go to my site from the link, download the 11steps.txt file and its in there.

[digitalrenewal]

also Im pretty sure ALL of this will change with the new timeline, but its difficult to get any information about what and when. Timeline is already in the works for profiles, but not yet available for fan pages, so I wasnt able to test it... BUT we do still have some time left with this method. Enough to run a killer campaign and get great results.
