Drupal for Facebook (fb)
What is Drupal for Facebook?
Drupal for Facebook is a set of modules that allow you to create an application for the facebook social networking site.
Facebook applications come in two basic flavors:
- Facebook Connect apps are web sites with facebook-specific features added. These run on your own domain; pages are HTML with facebook's javascript added.
- Canvas Page apps run within facebook. These appear in the app.facebook.com domain. Pages are either FBML, or iframes embedded within FBML.
Drupal for Facebook supports both flavors of apps, and includes many features common to both, such as writing to activity streams, profile boxes, and more.
