How to Add Facebook Games (or any other games with facebook connect) to Your Site

Almost everyone that comes to my site has asked how I got Farmville integrated. It's not a true integration but is iframed into a page and I have this mod, http://www.phpfox.com/addons/view/openid-facebook-... but I think it will work with the default Facebook connect activated as well. If your member signs in with Facebook connect and they go to the page you will make for the game, it will automatically sign them in (they may have to agree the first time).

Make a Page (AdminCP--CMS--Pages--Add New Page)(See screen shot)
AdminCP--CMS--Pages--Add New Page
Product: phpFox
Module: User
Page Title: (I put the name of the game)
Fill in what you want for Meta Keywords, Meta Description and Tags
Active: Yes
Use Entire Page: Yes
Add Bookmark Links: No
Add Page Views: No
Add To Menu: Yes
User Group Access: (Whomever you want to have access)

Page Data:

<iframe src="http://farmville.com" name="iframename" scrolling="yes" align="left" height = "1500px" width = "985px"> 
</iframe>

For the iframe src you put the game you are linking to. Submit.

You will create your menu after Submit.

Connection: (Choose where you want this)
Language Package Details: (Title for your Menu)
User Group Access: (Whomever you want to have access)
Submit.

A good article, ,however, This seems to only work with games that have domain urls other than a facebook url. For example, in the example, you have farmville.com which works because its just an iframe that points to the domain. This doesnt really have anything to do with facebook connect.

Also, an important thing to note.. when using iframes, its good to use some caution and only iframe pages of sites you trust. If you put an iframe on your site, and the owner of the page you are iframing'ing is malicious, they can change there page at anytime, which will in turn change your iframed page at any time, and depending what they put up on there page, could do damage to your site or your users. Use caution, and do not enable iframe tags on your user profiles.

I was able to embed a necessary form I've had pending for weeks, thanks to this add-on.

Gracias!
