Hey Leo - this Wordpress Theme is a work-in-progress for the future design of my personal blog. You bring up a good point though, which is that I should make a theme that works well in an iframe embedded in the Facebook Canvas. I’ll add that to my to-do list.

Hey Dave,
I am guessing the reason for your new layout on this site
is because you want it to display in Facebook using FBML instead of using
an iframe?!
If this is the case is this theme available?

Leo and Hon, thanks!

I assumed the php4 facebook library would work fine in php5 — I’ll add a something to the codebase to automatically check that. Glad to see you like the plugin.

managed so sort it out… I was linking back to the plugin instead of
http://www.myblog.com/wpbook/

If you are using php4 like I am you may need to download
simplexml44-0_4_4 ( http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ister4framework/simplexml44-0_4_4.tar.gz) and put it in the php4client folder

Awesome application… I look forward to all the future developments!

Ok I got it working after I manually changed the api_key and secret in the template.php file.

If you’re running php5 like I am you’ll need to also change line 4 in template.php to:

include_once 'client/facebook.php';

For whatever reason when I put the key and secret inside the wordpress admin:

/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wpbook.php

They are not saving to the database.
