You spend half the day browsing through pictures of friends on Facebook. Change your status six times a day. And have a number of friends somewhere in the four digits. Congratulations, you’re a Facebook addict. And you may never see the light of day again after delving into Facebook Apps.
As much flexibility as Facebook already allows users in creating their profiles, Facebook Apps push the limits even more. From cooperative games to anonymous tip boxes and image editors, social networkers can take their profiles to the next level with features Mark Zuckerberg never would have dreamt possible back in 2004. Here are some of the best Facebook Apps availeble on the market.
Easy Facebook Login
Makes using Facebook Connect, FBML , and Social Plugins a breeze. Add Facebook integration to your site in only a few short, simple lines of PHP code.
What can you do with Easy Facebook? In three lines of code, you can add:
- “Like” buttons
- Login with Facebook functionality
- Facebook Comments on your current page
- News Feeds
- And much more
PHP Facebook Page
Facebook have recently allowed iFrame applications to be used on Business/Fan pages . This opens up more information for developers and page owners.
In the old days any content that you only wanted to be visible to users who ‘liked’ your page could still view the source of a page and get access to the hidden content, iFrame apps remove this loophole and this helper class allows you to easily test if a user likes your page or is an admin of the page in question. This allows you to customise apps to a number of pages, hide content from users who don’t like your page (and make it easier to offer incentives to those that do) and to offer customisation/enhanced options to page admins
I’ve also included the code to check if a user has authorised the application so that apps can be further customised to individual users using the open graph.
Please note, that to get the Live preview to work correctly you need to view it in it’s own window. Facebook doesn’t seem to like being in a Frame
