Step 3: Set Up the App
Click on the “Developer” link on the left in your developer account.
That should take you to the Developer page. Click on “Set Up New Application.”
You now have the opportunity to enter an application name. We’ll call this app “FBML Essentials”. Click on the checkbox:
Click on “Optional Fields,” and more form fields should become available to you. Here are the optional fields and what they will do:
- Developer Contact Email
This is the email address Facebook will use if it ever needs to contact you about your application. For this example app, we will enter admin@fbmlessentials.staynalive.com.
- User Support Email
On your app’s Help page, users can send support requests. Requests from that page will be sent to the address you set here. We’ll enter support@fbmlessentials.staynalive.com for this app.
- Callback URL
The callback URL is the anchor for your entire application. All Facebook requests get forwarded to this URL behind the scenes. For the purposes of this app, we’ll use http://fbmlessentials.staynalive.com. You will want to enter the URL of your own website, one that you control. It is important to add a trailing slash to this URL because all requests to http://apps.facebook.com/fbmlessentials (see the “Canvas Page URL” field, next) get translated to this URL behind the scenes, and adding a slash ensures that the URL http://apps.facebook.com/fbmlessentials/foo.php
