Facebook will no longer allow the creation of new FBML custom tabs/apps. Users will need to switch to iFrames where you basically create your own app and host your own media that’s used to customize any pages.

Hi ,

You can not that anymore..so Facebook has changed the rules!.
I had the same problem as you have now but finnally I decided to use Iframes to build my fan page. This is new system allows me to have a full web site into a facebook fan page!

These iFrames are so powerful, they are:

* – HTML5 compatible, that means excellent mobile compatibility with iPhone, iPads, Android, the works!
* - With a nice ‘Like & Reveal tab’ landing page! So my page can go viral by my controlling how it gets “Liked”.
* - Opt-in forms are enabled just as on your website, meaning that you can build lists directly from within Facebook!
* - By supporting videos, you can have videos hosted directly on your Facebook fan page!
* - Complete website built into Facebook with Unlimited pages!

I hope I could help you.

FBML is unfortunately no more if you already have an app then it will continue to work however FBML creation has been removed to limit the hosting space on facebook.
This forces users to create their applications on their own hosting space and add into their facebook pages through iframes.
Luckily there are already several solutions on the market one of the most popular being fbmaxed. They provide all the templates, scripts and tutorials to replicate the FBML functionality including the popular "like" viral reveal. I have set up a demo page here so you can see the functionality.
