Please note that this tutorial is not intended to be used as instruction on how to set up these methods but merely as a guide to alleviate the confusion and frustration for when and why to use each method.

Method #1: Static FBML

Static FBML is hailed by us as the ‘easy way out’. It’s definitely the quickest and easiest way to get a custom Facebook tab up and running on your Facebook page. However, as is always the case with the easiest solution it also comes with the most drawbacks.

When and Why Not to Use This Method:

1. Static FBML is subject to the change of size that Facebook is very soon (sources say end of July 2010) going to implement to all of its tabs. So if you’re in need of designing a tab wider than 520 pixels, Static FBML is not for you. If you are still using Static FBML and coding your tabs at the current size of 760 pixels wide you’re better off changing to the new size of 520 pixels or get ready for a massive panic and overload of fixes from your clients once the change takes place.

2. Using Static FBML means that you are limited to the code Facebook will allow on tabs, this is normally fine for most tabs but once you get into more complex coding you will most likely have to switch your method. This also means that you can’t use any of the XFBML code on your tab either.

3. If you want to use complex javascript then you’re out of luck with this method, only FBML approved javascript is allowed in tabs.

4. Want to include a blog or twitter feed directly into your custom Facebook tab? If you’re trying to use Static FBML, think again, the only way to add a feed to your Facebook page using this method is by using separate Facebook apps that create new tabs.

Method #2: Custom Facebook FBML Application

This method is very similar to using the Static FBML app except for the fact that all of the code will reside on your server giving you greater flexibility with custom coding. However, this method is still subject to a lot of the same limitations as Static FBML.

When and Why Not to Use This Method:

1. Also subject to the change of size being implemented by Facebook to all tabs from 760 pixels wide to 520 pixels wide.

2. Even though the code resides on your server, Facebook will still pull your code into the tab and modify it, which means it still must be written to comply with the FBML code requirements of tabs. This also means that with this method you are still unable to use any XFBML code.

3. Since the tab is still restricted to using FBML code it also means you are still limited to using the FBML approved javascript.

4. This method is definitely not as quick or as easy to set up because you will need to set up your own custom Facebook application. However, after you get over the initial headaches of setting up your own custom apps it becomes rather easy.

5. Right about now you must be wondering who would ever want to use a more complex method that gives the same set of problems as the much easier to use Static FBML app. Well by using this more complex method you are able to code your page around any up-datable content that you might have on your website, such as your blog feed. Of course it will only work as long as you code it to comply within the FBML requirements. So now combining this method and a website built on a CMS platform such as Wordpress, you are now able to add those much desired blog and twitter feeds built into the custom tab.

Method #3: Custom Facebook Iframe Application

This method would definitely be the clear hands down winner every time if it wasn’t for one very and we mean very big drawback. In order for a user to view your custom Facebook tab they will first have to initialize the Iframe by clicking on either text or an image.

When and Why Not to Use This Method:

1. The initial tab that houses the text or image that the user must first click must fall within the 520 pixel resize by Facebook since it is still actually a tab. However, after initialized the Iframe actually resides on a Facebook canvas page which will still maintain the current width of 760 pixels. So if the custom Facebook tab must be wider than 520 pixels after Facebook makes the change this is the only method available.

2. The code inside of your Iframe will always reside on your server and does not actually get pulled in or modified by Facebook, which means you can basically do anything you can think of code wise. So if you want to do complex javascript or include updatable content from your website that falls outside of the FBML scope of limitations this is the only method available.

3. If you want to use XFBML code on your tab then this is the only way possible. An example of something you could add with XFBML would be the ‘Like’ button, which isn’t possible in the other methods.

4. This method just like the Custom Facebook FBML Application requires you to set up your own custom Facebook application.

5. Because this method uses an Iframe the height must be declared in the code otherwise you will end up with scroll bars or cut off content. This can pose problems when using updatable content because the height of the content might not always be exactly the same.

Let’s Recap What We Just Learned

Static FBML

If the width limitation of 520 pixels is not a concern and your custom Facebook tab is basic and does not require anything complex then we recommend that you stick with the easy to use Static FBML. Just know that if later on down the road you are going to want to add more features to your tab, you will most likely need to switch to a different method.

Custom Facebook FBML Application

If the width limitation is still not a concern but not being able to include updatable content such as a blog feed is, then we recommend you make the switch to using your own Custom Facebook FBML Application.

Custom Facebook Iframe Application

This is the one and only method for including complex code and basically doing anything you want. It’s also the only method to maintain the current 760 pixel width, making this a great alternative to set up quickly when Facebook makes the width change to all tabs. The only two drawbacks you have to accept and get over when using this method are the lack of dynamic height and the very big drawback of the user initialized action to view the Iframe.

If you have any suggestions or input into other methods or situations you’ve encountered we would love to hear about them by starting the discussion below.

Anybody who uses Wordpress can tell you just how awesome it is right out of the box, but the coolest thing about using Wordpress is the plethora of plugins available at your disposal to turn your blog or website into anything you can think of. We have always kept good track of the plugins we have been using and which ones we think offer the best support and are updated on a timely basis. We started to notice a trend in the plugins we were using on each project we finished, which is why we decided to share the top 6 plugins we use on almost every Wordpress blog/site created by Daddy Design.

1. All in One SEO Pack

Definitely a plugin that every Wordpress design firm or freelancer should be using on their projects. Everybody knows that Wordpress right out of the box has awesome SEO capabilities built into it but the amount of extra detail you can go into with this plugin will only expand your SEO reach and help optimize your blog/site which in turn will result in higher rankings. What good is the coolest blog on the internet without the visitors to match?

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/

2. Google XML Sitemaps

Don’t let the name fool you, this plugin does much more than build your Google sitemap, it will also help you create site maps for other popular search engines like Bing, Yahoo and Ask.com to better index your blog. This plugin will help crawlers see the complete structure of your site and retrieve it more efficiently and it also notifies all major search engines every time you create a post about the new content.

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/

3. WP Page Numbers

Tired of the boring Next and Previous links that are common on blog sites? Create better user friendly links using this plugin, it not only will help your visitors navigate your site better but it will also help with SEO because of the tighter inner link structure it creates. There are default styles you can choose from or the option to create your own custom style, creating your own style is very easy but you should be proficient in CSS and uploading content to your server.

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-page-numbers/

4. Shockingly Big IE6 Warning

If you hate IE6 as much as we do then you will love this plugin. In the middle of 2009 we decided to drop support for IE6 because of security issues and lack of support for web standards. This plugin has made our lives easier by allowing a simple, fast and effect solution for giving IE6 users a warning when visiting a site we created. There are 3 different types of warnings you can select from when using the plugin, most of the time I use the 2nd type which is ‘FULL, a fullscreen warning’. Drop support for IE6 and never look back by using this plugin, you will be glad you did and the internet will be a better place once IE6 is finally completely dead.

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/shockingly-big-ie6-warning/

5. Sociable

A must have on any blog/site is a way for visitors to share your content and spread it around the web, there are many options out there but usually our first choice is Sociable. Many factors can influence which type of sharing method we use; usually the biggest influence of course is what the customer wants. With this plugin you can choose from 99 different social bookmarking sites, the easy to use settings page lets you turn on and off the ones you want as well as drag them around to position them in the order you want.

One draw back is that this plugin does not validate properly right out of the box; there is however an easy solution for this. Go to the settings page and look for the option that says ‘Use CSS:’ uncheck the box so that you are no longer using the default Sociable stylesheet. Once you uncheck this you will then need to add your own style in order to restyle the plugin, as long as you re-write valid CSS code this plugin will now validate.

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sociable/

6. Twitter for Wordpress

A way of showing recent Tweets on a customer’s blog/site is probably one of the most common requests we run into on a per project basis, this plugin is probably one of the fastest and easiest solutions around. Although there are many options out there we always seem to come back to this one for its easy customization, which is always a necessity for any plugin we use. It does have one minor flaw in which the feed seems to stop working from time to time resulting in the following message ‘No public Twitter messages.’

The base_64 php virus inserts an insanely long php script to the top of all php files on your server. This php script will then forward visitors to another website where the virus is actually stored which then infects their computer in the form of Trojan Horse viruses. We aren’t sure if there are different websites that the virus can forward you to but in our case it sent users to: www4.suitcase52td.net/

Unfortunately there is really only one solution to get rid of the base_64 php virus, reinstall Wordpress with clean files. In this tutorial we will show you the 6 major steps for getting rid of this nasty virus.

Please Note:
This tutorial should not be performed by somebody who is not comfortable with creating database backups, uninstalling and installing Wordpress, using an FTP program, or general usage of Wordpress. If you feel that you can not complete this tutorial please do not try, contact us at 1-888-987-1961 or fill out our contact form to receive a quote on getting rid of the base_64 php virus. Please serious inquiries only.

STEP 1: Run Virus Scan on Your Computer

Before moving on to the next steps you first must make sure that your computer is clean and free from the virus, run virus and malware scans on your computer to get rid of the actual downloaded virus.

STEP 2: Change Passwords

The next step after cleaning your computer of any trace of the virus is to change all passwords for both your server’s FTP and Wordpress. You should also add a temporary index.htm file to the root of your website informing visitors that your site is currently undergoing maintenance and to check back later.

STEP 3: Back Up Clean Files and Database

Theme Folder – Make sure that you have a clean version of your theme’s template files. If you do not have a clean version then you will need to copy all of your theme’s template files from your server using a “File Manager” or FTP program. Once you have all of your theme’s files you will then need to delete the php script located at the top of every php file.

Plugins – Unfortunately all of your plugins are also infected, write down the name of every plugin you have installed, you will need to reinstall them all in step 5.

Uploads Folder & Gallery Folder – These folders are used to store all of the images you have uploaded to your Wordpress site/blog and are located at wp-content/uploads. Luckily images don’t seem to get infected by the virus so we will just make a backup of all of these files/folders. Using a “File Manager” or FTP program copy all of these files/folders onto your CPU from your server.

Database – Another lucky break, the database also doesn’t seem to get hurt during the attack. We are currently using GoDaddy, check below to see how to back up a GoDaddy database:

Log into your GoDaddy account > Go to Hosting > Manage Your Website > Databases Tab > MYSQL > Click the edit pencil for your database > Click Backup.

The backup can take anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours. Once the backup is complete, it will then install a copy of the database onto your server, you should also ‘right click’ and save a direct copy to your computer just to be safe.

STEP 4: Start Deleting

Uninstall Wordpress – Once again please note that these instructions are for GoDaddy:

Log into your GoDaddy Account > Go to Hosting > Manage Your Website > Your Applications > On the right hand side find your Wordpress install, Click It > Uninstall.

This will also delete your database so make sure that you have backed it up in the previous step.

Left Over Files – Once the uninstall is complete, go onto your server and make sure that all of the Wordpress files/folders have been deleted. Also make sure to double check the entire server and make sure that there are no other php files anywhere on it. If you find any other php files download them and delete the php script at the top, then put them back onto your server.

STEP 5: Reinstall Everything

Wordpress Install – Install Wordpress. If your last install was located in a certain folder, be sure to use the same folder name on this install.

Upload All Files and Folders – First upload your clean “theme” folder > then upload or install all of the plugins you wrote down earlier > finally upload all of the Uploads & Gallery files/folders. Make sure that you put everything in the same place as the previous install before the attack.

Import Old Database – The same place that you went to back up your database is the same place you will go to import it. The database import should take around 30 minutes to an hour to complete.

STEP 6: Check Your Entire Site

After completing Steps 1 through 5, your Wordpress site/blog should be back up and running virus free. Recheck your entire site to make sure everything is functioning properly and to make sure there are no traces of the virus hiding somewhere.

Please Note:
This tutorial was created out of our experience with the base_64 php virus and we take no responsibility for any problems you may encounter while following this tutorial. These steps have been proven to work for us but you must make sure they are followed exactly, results may vary. If you know of any better or easier ways to get rid of this base_64 php virus, please let us know by leaving a comment.

ToVieFor

Company Info

Susanne Greenfield and Melanie Moore came up with the idea for ToVieFor because, as avid online shoppers, they grew frustrated by the lack of new, hot, on-trend handbags and accessories on sample sale and discount websites. “Sure, we could go online and rent a coveted Chanel or Marc Jacobs bag for a month or two, but that gets really expensive, really quick. We thought: Why isn’t there a way for us to buy the new Marc Jacobs Stam Quilted Satchel for half the price?” Thus, the idea for ToVieFor was born.

With the addition of a facebook fan box to your website you’re not only benefiting your end users but also yourself. The fb fan box allows users to directly view how many friends you have on your facebook page and also allows them to become a fan with just one click. The only potential downsides to adding a fan box to your page is that it is not easy to customize or the original styling just doesn’t match up with the unique style of your site. Well not anymore, in this tutorial we are going to teach you how to customize your very own facebook fan box.

This tutorial will teach you step by step how to customize your facebook fan box to look like ours. After completing this tutorial you should be able to play around with the code and make modifications that you see fit to change the styling to your own needs.

4/29/10 – This tutorial has been updated to allow full customization of the Facebook Fan Box and positioning of the new “Like” button.

Setting Up Your Widget

Step 1 – Get Your Facebook Fan Box Code

First things first you need to get the code for your facebook fan box from facebook, your code should look something similar to the code below.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.ak.connect.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/FeatureLoader.js.php/en_US"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">FB.init("1690883eb733618b294e98cb1dfba95a");</script>
<fb:fan profile_id="34572893685" stream="0" connections="10" logobar="0" width="300"></fb:fan>
<div style="font-size:8px; padding-left:10px"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/North-Miami-FL/Daddy-Design/34572893685">Daddy Design</a> on Facebook</div>

Step 2 – Linking Your CSS

The second step is to set up the linking to your css code and adjusting your facebook fan box code to allow for the customization you’re about to start. The div associated at the end of the original fan box code is only a link back to your facebook page, we decided to remove it, however you may choose to leave it. Items that we have changed in our code are the width from 300 to 240 and connections from 10 to 8, your width and number of connections may change depending on the space available for your fan box. Items we have added are height at 200 (also subject to change) and the line of code to link to our css stylesheet. Please view the updated coded below.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.ak.connect.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/FeatureLoader.js.php/en_US"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">FB.init("1690883eb733618b294e98cb1dfba95a");</script>
<fb:fan profile_id="34572893685" stream="0" connections="8" logobar="0" width="240" height="200" css="http://www.yoursite.com/stylesheet.css?1"></fb:fan>

One important item to take notice of is ‘?1’ which appears at the end of the css link, this item is the cache level for the facebook fan box, every time you make changes to the css inside your stylesheet and upload to your server you must change the number after the question mark to correspond with the number of edits you have made.

Here’s another handy tip, if you are using wordpress you can insert your code to look like the code below, this will link straight to your wordpress stylesheet. (Make sure you edit the ‘?1′ accordingly.)

css="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>?1"

Styling Your Widget with CSS

Step 1 – Styling the Main Widget

The first step in customizing the css is to fix link hover issues and to remove any unneeded styling from the main widget. Check the first set of css modifications below.

.fan_box a:hover{
  text-decoration: none;
}
.fan_box .full_widget{
  height: 200px;
  border: 0 !important;
  background: none !important;
  position: relative;
}

In lines 1 through 3 of the code we have removed the underline hover effect for all links inside the fan box to avoid any type of conflicts. In lines 4 through 9 of the code we have removed the border from around the full fan box widget, set the height to match our widget height, removed the background, and positioned it to allow for the moving of the “Like” button. One thing to keep notice of is the usage of ‘!important’, this is a css trick that will override the already used css code inside of the widget, anything that we change that currently has any values associated with it must use this code or else the original code will still take priority.

Step 2 – Styling the Widget Header

The second step in customizing the css is to adjust the fan box header. Check the second set of css modifications below.

.fan_box .connect_top{
  background: none !important;
  padding: 0 !important;
}
.fan_box .profileimage, .fan_box .name_block{
  display: none;
}
.fan_box .connect_action{
  padding: 0 !important;
}

We are basically going to be getting rid of everything in the widget header except for the “Like” button, which we will position to the bottom of our widget later. In lines 1 through 4 we have gotten rid of the light blue background color for the header and removed all of the headers padding. In lines 5 through 7 we have completely removed both the main profile name and image. In lines 8 through 10 we have removed padding associated with the “Like” button that was not needed.

Step 3 – Styling Fan Connections

The third step in customizing the css is to adjust the actual fb fan connections. Check the third set of css modifications below.

.fan_box .connections{
  padding: 0 !important;
  border: 0 !important;
  font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
  font-size: 11px;
  font-weight: bold;
  color: #666;
}
span.total{
  color: #FF6600;
  font-weight: bold;
}
.fan_box .connections .connections_grid {
  padding-top: 10px !important;
}
.fan_box .connections_grid .grid_item{
  padding: 0 10px 10px 0 !important;
}
.fan_box .connections_grid .grid_item .name{
  font-family: "lucida grande",tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;
  font-weight: normal;
  color: #666 !important;
  padding-top: 1px !important;
}

In lines 1 through 8 of the code we adjusted the padding surrounding the fan box connections, removed the border at the top, and adjusted the font for the line of text that displays “X people like Profile Name”. In lines 9 through 12 of the code we have adjusted the color and font weight of the number of fans displayed. In lines 13 through 15 of the code we have adjusted the padding between the line of text and the actual fan connections. In lines 16 through 18 of the code we have adjusted the padding between the actual fan connections. In lines 19 through 24 of the code we have adjusted the actual fan name, make sure that you DO NOT change the font family, if changed it may cause alignment issues with the connections.

Step 4 – Positioning the “Like” Button

The fourth and final step in customizing the css is to position the “Like” button. Check the fourth and final set of css modifications below.

.fan_box .connect_widget{
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
right: 10px;
margin: 0 !important;
}
.fan_box .connect_widget .connect_widget_interactive_area {
margin: 0 !important;
}
.fan_box .connect_widget td.connect_widget_vertical_center {
padding: 0 !important;
}
 

With the addition of this block of code the “Like” button will now appear at the bottom right of our fan box widget. How does this work? It works because earlier we used relative positioning on the main widget div in Step 3, whenever relative positioning is used on an element you can then use absolute positioning to position another element anywhere inside of the main element. The way to position the element is by using the attributes top, bottom, left, and right depending on where you want to move the element. In our situation we wanted it to be at the bottom right of our widget so we used the attribute bottom with a position of 0 and right with a position of 10px. The reason we used 10px for right instead of 0 is because we had added 10 pixels of right padding to each of our fan connections, this way the button and fan image will line up correctly. Lines 1 through 6 of the code are used to position the actual div to the bottom right of the widget. In lines 7 through 12 of the code we have removed padding and margin associated with the “Like” button and its surrounding table data so that it will align properly.

Complete CSS Code

Below is all of the css code from the previous 4 steps combined together.

.fan_box a:hover{
  text-decoration: none;
}
.fan_box .full_widget{
  height: 200px;
  border: 0 !important;
  background: none !important;
  position: relative;
}
.fan_box .connect_top{
  background: none !important;
  padding: 0 !important;
}
.fan_box .profileimage, .fan_box .name_block{
  display: none;
}
.fan_box .connect_action{
  padding: 0 !important;
}
.fan_box .connections{
  padding: 0 !important;
  border: 0 !important;
  font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
  font-size: 11px;
  font-weight: bold;
  color: #666;
}
span.total{
  color: #FF6600;
  font-weight: bold;
}
.fan_box .connections .connections_grid {
  padding-top: 10px !important;
}
.fan_box .connections_grid .grid_item{
  padding: 0 10px 10px 0 !important;
}
.fan_box .connections_grid .grid_item .name{
  font-family: "lucida grande",tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;
  font-weight: normal;
  color: #666 !important;
  padding-top: 1px !important;
}
.fan_box .connect_widget{
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
right: 10px;
margin: 0 !important;
}
.fan_box .connect_widget .connect_widget_interactive_area {
margin: 0 !important;
}
.fan_box .connect_widget td.connect_widget_vertical_center {
padding: 0 !important;
}

Troubleshooting

If you are trying to edit the css and no changes are showing up, make sure you are adjusting the cache level at the end of the css link in the widget code.

Brotha Lynch Hung

Band Info

Brotha Lynch Hung watches a lot of movies, mostly horror flicks. The King of Sacramento also writes screenplays: While penning his first script, he simultaneously wrote his Strange Music debut, Dinner and a Movie. Blurring the line between audio CD and audio book, listeners are sucked into the highly imaginative mind of Lynch as he plays out gruesome tales of murder, violence and deception. Powered by his twisted sense of humor, Dinner and a Movie is both therapeutic and fantastical, as Lynch unleashes his own demons while at the same time creating a character so unlike himself.

Project Details

This is our 6th time designing a myspace and twitter page for Strange Music. As always, they supplied us with some amazing CD artwork and we did our thing with it.
