Facebook FBML tabs issue...

Hi guys, I’ve noticed a weird issue with Facebook FBML tabs… It seems that the FBML application, when we use Facebook tabs, doesn’t work properly… it works well only we logged in…

This is an example of my old facebook tabs template that doesn’t work if I’m not logged in..

old example (clicking on image flash doesn’t start…)

and this is a new example, works also without login…

new example

Any ideas for this behavior?

It’s a bug of the new system. Hope FB Devs will solve it before march 11th.

From looking at their comment, we can expect a fix on this on Tuesday.

mhmm.. that’s not good

@VF – where did u read it’s going to be fixed on Tuesday man? I’m currently working on a FB iFrame for a client (promo related) and seeing this post now I began wondering what to use – the old FMBL of the new iFrame..?

bilbo_b, Read the comment #65 in the bug report page (Looks like a comment from staff) :

Regarding your client work, I would suggest making 2 tabs for both iframe and FBML , and just deactivate iframe tab for now (fbml tabs already created will have no problems until their next annoucement). After facebook recovers from all the glitches you can hide the fbml tab and show the iframe one .

Yeah right.. better play safe with both Thanks mate

Does this mean that the iFrame app will be visible to non-logged in users? That’s a retorical question, of course not
