Synopsis

<fb:add-section-button "..."/>

Renders an “Add to Profile” or “Add to Info” button on an application’s canvas page. After calling profile.setFBML or profile.setInfo on your app, this button allows you to add a profile box or additional information to the main profile area, to the “Boxes” tab, or to the “Info” tab. Where it appears partly depends on how you call profile.setFBML: if the profile_main parameter is set, it will appear on the main profile section of the user’s profile; if not, it will appear under the “Boxes” tab. Where it appears also depends on the section you specify. If you specify a section of “Info,” the information you set in the profile.setInfo API call will be sent to the user’s “Info” tab. When you have called this once for the given section type, the button will no longer appear for that section type until the user removes it from his profile.
