Answer 1

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/add_to_page/

There is a URL there, just hit it, after replacing the app id and the Canvas URL for your app. e.g.

https://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=123456789
&display=popup&next=http://www.myhosting/myapp/index.php

It will then ask you to select which of YOUR pages you would like to add the app to.

An app is an app, and a page is a page. When people talk about Tabs, that is when you have added the App to the page, as on the old FB page layouts the apps list were tabs down the side.

Answer 2

I think this is what you're writing about:

1. Go to your app's page
2. Click add to my page
3. Choose page where you want to add a PageTab for your app

Answer 3

You can use this link,
add your app_id and app_namespace,

<a href="http://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=YOURAPPID&next=URLOWNEDBYOURAPP">Tab Link</a>

Answer 4

This used to be simple, using the Facebook UI. Unfortunately facebook removed this.

you can add it using
http://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=YOUR_APP_ID&next=YOUR_URL

I put this an html and published it below. Just visit, enter your app params, hit submit, and you're done.

Answer 5

Add a Profile Tab page at the developer page (Edit Settings > Profile) http://www.facebook.com/developers/apps.php

You can add all Apps as Tab which are currently active in your session and have Tabs-Urls added.

Use the "+" icon at the Public Profile/Page to add it - if its not in the list use the search function at the bottom of the list.

If you're Tab is blank open the Tab Url directly. If its not working there fix it until it is. If it is working there the problem is within the communication of fb with your host. Check your Logfiles!

Wild guess: Be aware that facebook fetches this pages via POST request. I had a nasty bug because nginx 500's all post requests to static files (e.g. HTML files).

Answer 6

I'm a little confused as to what you're meaning by 'tab'. The FB formatted tabs are created using something like this:

<div style="padding:10px;padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;">
    <fb:tabs>
        <fb:tab-item href="index.php" title="Home"/>
        <fb:tab-item href="page2.php" title="page 2"/>
        <fb:tab-item href="page3.php" title="page 3" align="right"/>
        <fb:tab-item href="page4.php" title="page 4" align="right"/>
    </fb:tabs>
</div>

Again, just a stab in the dark here.
