Has anyone created any custom fanpages? I have been playing around with it and I am unsure how much I can do with it... from what I can gather it doesn't support iframes properly....
 


API Changes

Does this mean that you have to reformat the pages / redesign them?

could you send me a link to one of your fan pages?

for instance, if you designed a fan page 6 months ago, you got fucked because they decided to cut the width of the pages by 125 px recently.

They're stupid. Not as stupid as the twitter devs, but damn they're trying.

Another thing, previously, inline styles wouldn't work in IE. Then they made them work for a few months. Now you can't again.

Stupid.
 
I have seen also that they will allow you to do Iframes but only if you have them assigned to tabs... the processes I have seen look very complicated and over the top for what you actually want to attempt... their widths appear to be like 520px now.

yes, and their documentation is horrendous, and most of their devs are clueless in the support forums.

Yeah throw that shit in an external sheet. worked for me.

though I'm still having problems with facebook caching images. half of the time I look at the fb page the image isn't there. wtf dammit.
 
^ add ?v=32.0 (random number) at the end of styles.css or any other "item" you want to "refresh"

so, basically, if you want to refresh, put ?v=33.0 on the end of the code and save changes ;)

ah ok. I assume that'll refresh it once and then fb will re-cache the image?

the biggest problem is that it disappears randomly after fb caches it. I don't change the location or anything, but it won't load right, and only sometimes.

"refreshing" the image in that way works temporarily, but that is a manual refresh and I don't have a way to tell when the image is displaying or not.

I wonder if I can somehow use a variable to make that number random. that would force a refresh with every page load...

this is kind of frustrating.
