How do I create custom tabs on Facebook?

Will Facebook page admins have to create one app for each different tab they want to add to their page?

  • As of March 11, 2011, with the changes in roadmap, all Facebook admins must use iframe applications to load external content into their page tabs. The use of the static tab will not be available. If I want to implement more than one custom tab on my Fan page, do I have to create more than one application? https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/462

  • Answer:

    At the moment yes you will have to create a new Facebook app for every page tab you wish to have on your page. A Facebook app is limited to having only one tab and each page is limited to only installing one instance of an apps tab. This shouldn't be too much of a problem as setting up a new Facebook app for each tab is easy and the new iFrame tabs give a huge improvement on FBML tabs.
