Talk:Application Info Sections
From Facebook Developer Wiki
It seems that the Info tab will only show the first field when you set the type parameter to 5 (thumbnail).
For example, with the following code (from the "tutorial"):
<?php
function get_sample_info() {
return array(
array('field' => 'Good Smilies',
'items' =>
array(array('label'=> 'Happy',
'image' => IMAGE_LOCATION . 'smile0.jpg',
'sublabel'=>'',
'description'=>'The original and still undefeated.',
'link'=>'http://www.facebook.com'),
array('label'=>'Indifferent',
'image'=> IMAGE_LOCATION . 'smile1.jpg',
'description'=>'meh...',
'link'=>'http://www.facebook.com'),
array('label'=>'Sad',
'image'=> IMAGE_LOCATION . 'smile2.jpg',
'description'=>'Oh my god! you killed my dog!',
'link'=>'http://www.facebook.com'),
array('label'=>'Cool',
'image'=> IMAGE_LOCATION . 'smile3.jpg',
'link'=>'http://www.facebook.com',
'description'=>'Yeah. whatever'))),
array('field'=> 'Bad',
'items'=>
array(array('label'=> 'Evil',
'link'=>'http://www.evil.com'))));
}
$info_fields = get_sample_info();
$fb->api_client->profile_setInfo('My Smileys', 1, $info_fields, $user);
?>
When I view the Info tab I see only the 'Good Smilies' field, and the not the Bad' field. However, when I change the 'type' parameter to 1, I see both.
Can someone from Facebook confirm this behavior?

Ok, so I've set the info options, I've set the callback url, but I see no UI on the info tab... bug or not yet implemented? Guess I'll file a bug.
[edit] FBML in description
I wanted to add some FBML in the description field of an info section, but the fbml doesn't get parsed. There's no indication anywhere that it *should* be parsed, but i wanted to display some statistics related to the profile's owner appreciation of the given item, and also, use the <fb:intl> feature, since the description is basically a preformatted line of text with some words changed depending on the item.
Is there another way to make a type 5 (with image) info section with fbml parsed? ThaNerd 06:37, 6 January 2009 (PST)
