Need Help Making a "like this page to see" Facebook Page

**muna** · Joined: 04 Jun 2007 Posts: 2929 Location: South Florida

I am sure that any of facebooks 350 million + users know what I am talking about. Facebook has been dominated by pages where you must like them (previously, become a fan) in order to see their content. Examples are something like "5 THINGS THAT TURN GUYS OFF (GIRLS WILL NE SURPRISED)" and then in order to see the 5 things, you must become a fan. I want to make a page like this. I plan to use it to advertise my blog and potentially (if things get that desperate) use CPALead to make money. The only thing is, that I have no idea how to make a page like this. I have spent hours searching for the solution on facebook and google, but I haven't come up with one solution. That is why I turn to Scorehero - the one website I can always count on! So... does anybody know how?

Well, I don't know how to make content only fans can see, but I know how to make a page =P.

Assuming you have the same layout as me, go to the home page (while logged in, of course), and look to the left of the screen. There should be a bar there with various info in it. Look for the part that says "Ads and Pages", and click on it. This should bring you to a page that, at the top, says "create a page". Click on that, and you should be able to figure it out from there

.

Of course, it's been a while since I wasn't in charge of any pages, so I don't remember exactly what that page looks like. In other news, I admin a fan page for SH* in an attempt to not only see how many people frequent both Facebook and Score Hero, but to keep people informed of events that occur here on Score Hero should they be on FB and aren't aware of stuff such as the Leagues and whatnot.

1. Why would you make a page like that? They're extremely annoying.
2. ScoreHero is not tech forum, blah blah blah
3. I've never done this myself, but it looks like the answer is in fbml (FaceBook Markup Language?) Intro (that link actually seems dead, try this), Some vague overview to your fan only problem, a guy who apparently shows you how to do it

[edit]@ Qarx - you have to use html for that link http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/pages/Score-Hero/119300418102121. Doubt you care, but I had to edit this anyway.

No, that's not what I meant. At first, I imagine you typed something like this

Before the "like to see content" thing caught on, facebook had an extremely cool natural selection system going on. Crappy pages wouldn't get liked so no one would really see them and eventually they'd fall into the background, but good pages would be around for ages.

These pages are one of the biggest problems with Facebook and I hate you for trying make the site worse because it doesn't need any help. I wish people that made these pages were permanently banned and maybe even beat in a sack with a wooden stick.

Best way to see the content without liking it.

1 Go on the page and find the box where it shows the picture or words that you have to like to see.

2 Go to the top of your screen, there should be a "page" button, click it.

3 Find the button that says "style" and click it.

4 There should be 2 options, No style, or Default, Click "No style"

5 It should automaticly change format, find the picture/whatever it is.

6 Viola! there it is.

The problem with these pages (besides being really annoying) is that there are actually some cases in which content should only be visible to fans. The original purpose for the ability to code that in, I believe, was to hide tabs from non-fans. If Eminem's fan page had his new video on a special tab, it would make sense to hide it from people who aren't fans. One of the main purposes of fan pages now is for companies/celebrities to promote themselves, and becoming a fan to see exclusive content makes sense.

Of course tons of people decided to abuse it and make annoying "become a fan to see one stupid picture" pages, or even worse the ones which make you fill out a survey.

I've actually made one myself (as a parody) and it was really simple to do, but don't do it just to be annoying.

Anyway, since you'll find it eventually anyway, there's a tag in FBML "fb:visible-to-connection" that you wrap things in, which may or may not do what you want.

That's how I did it on my page (which, again, is obviously a parody...I don't support these annoying pages)

Try not to be too annoying with it, please. I'll leave this open for now because I assume mostly everyone on SH has a facebook account and stuff like this is relevant to talk about.

Wow, dude, that high school onion ring looked good.

Anyways, I don't even how to make a fan page itself. It took me a while to find out hoe to make group pages, but yea, those pages really are annoying.
