Help with Facebook App! [FIXED]

[Kc]

Hey I added a Facebook app on our WA page for the forum. Coool huh? Well I think I need some help.
Check it out:

The PHP it goes to is here:

Anyone want to help program this thing to make it work better? Also, I noticed the Wiki button no longer goes to the wiki. Can we fix that? We might even be able to develop a Wiki App for the facebook page? What do you say? What a way to commemorate the Facebook day?!

This is cool! I spend my nights going back and forth between Facebook and these forums, now I don't have to!

one thing I noticed right away is I went to the app and came back to the forum it trumped my preferred style and switched the forum to the mobile version.

I would love to help other than be a critic, but I think we've all learned the hard way that I can't program my way out of a paper bag. I think it's a kick ass addition to the facebook page though!

Yes, I just discovered voodoo's problems. I clicked the mobile app links on my PC and now it's taken over!

There's a button at the bottom of the page that you can click to go back to default.

I'll try and take a look tomorrow after running errands. I have a half day at work but it's date night with the wife and then I gotta work on some more recording this weekend.

Do you mean the wiki button at the bottom of the mobile style, in the embedded php?
If so, it behaves exactly as it always has. It brings you to the 'forum part' of the wiki, showing each article as a separate thread basically.

It's the same as on the full site, in fact. Below all other categories, click on Wiki. Tad-dah, it shows you the same (though in a the full style).
The button bringing you to the Wiki's mainpage (the button at the top of the full site) is not included on the mobile version.

Also, the problem with the style switching to default probably has to do with the automatic detection of mobile devices and full computers. Because you force it into mobile for the app, it will save that setting in a cookie which in turn will be read by your browser when on the full site.

Any idea how to make it not save a cookie style choice for that PHP iframe?

Whelp. I'll help out, especially since PHP is my favorite language. However, the problem you're going to run into is actually the forum. Basically, the real work isn't going to be the PHP, but actually modifying the primary stylesheet to support that tiny of a window so we don't have to set their forum style.

The problem with that is that if you don't set the cookie, it will redirect to the normal style EACH page transition... I think right course of action is to make the primary style more accessible.
