I'm working on creating a Facebook tab using the canvas iframe. What the client wants (and I am very unfamiliar with Facebook app creation, especially as it seems to be very in flux right now) is to have a static tab page, which is already created, with a signup button. When the user clicks that button they want a Facebook-like lightbox window with a proprietary signup form that sends data off to their API script (PHP). Is this even possible? I don't imagine Facebook allows you to lightbox their site, but can I do it within my tab? It gives me an error when trying to include jquery,etc. Or load a new window in the same iframe (right now the link opens in a new window)? Here's my simple code for the static page:
<?php
require_once 'includes/facebook.php';
$facebook = new Facebook(array(
'appId' => 'xxxx',
'secret' => 'xxxx',
'cookie' => true,
));
?>
