The Facebook Tab Manager was specifically designed to take advantage of a recent Facebook page redesign that added support for iframe tabs on Facebook pages.
A Facebook user, owner of a WordPress blog, can edit and customize content on his Facebook account from his blog.
Tab content is displayed using a very simple template.
Developers can add CSS stylings to individual tabs.
This provides a way of putting more interesting layouts and functionality into Facebook pages, without the need to get too deep into fancy programming.
Installation:
Unpack and upload it to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
What is new in this release:
- Update for Timeline page layout to support 810px tab width.
What is new in version 3.1:
- Improved the Reveal Tab Setup utility.
- The editor now includes a "More code to add to footer" box you can use to add custom JavaScript or HTML.
What is new in version 3.0:
- Modified the roles and capabilities setup, which previously was set to parallel the 'page' rather than 'post' content type. The settings screen now includes checkbox options that let users make creation of Facebook tab content accessible to authors and contributors (contributors can submit posts for approval).
- By default, fbtabs are still treated like pages rather than posts, meaning only editors and administrators can edit them, but at least one website owner contacted me to say that's not how he wanted it to work. So now you have a choice.
- Authoring and editing capabilities can also be such as edit_fbtabs can now also be set for any custom roles you may have created, separately from other types of posts, by other WordPress administration plugins or your own custom code.
What is new in version 2.9.8:
- Cleanup of deprecated WordPress functions and minor PHP coding errors.
What is new in version 2.9.6:
- Important update to keep pace with changes in the Facebook platform.
What is new in version 2.9.4:
- "Remove all but essential filters on post content" on Facebook Tab editor screen. Can be simpler than turning off filters individually.
- "Use redirect instead of AJAX / loading animation" on Reveal Tab Setup screen. The AJAX method is now the default. Works well for most content but may not work with some posts featuring inline JavaScript. Check here to use a redirect instead.
What is new in version 2.9.3:
- Renamed function that decodes Facebook signed request to prevent namespace conflicts with other plugins.
What is new in version 2.8.5:
- CSS changes to prevent display of scroll bars, even when too-wide content such as a large image is included (width set on body, with overflow hidden)
- Changed the way custom CSS is loaded into template. Should perform better.
- Reveal Tab Setup utility now displays 10 most recent combinations of Fan / Non-fan pages and corresponding URLs.
What is new in version 2.8.4:
- Update to Reveal Tab Setup utility. Looks like Facebook has made some platform changes that were preventing this from working properly, and I've made my own changes to compensate. This version also supports using a form plugin such as Contact Form 7 in the fan-only version of the tab, which wasn't working right previously.
