    <p>I am trying to figure out how to get the tab ID of the current tab of a Facebook Page the user is visiting.</p> <p>I have made an app for installation on Facebook Pages, that I need to save settings for, per instance. I have figured out that you can get an array of tabs for the page the app is installed on, but I can't figure out how to get the tab ID for the actual tab you're on. </p> <p>The point is for an admin to be able to save settings for each tab that they've added the app to, using a single backend. I'm not sure if you can have multiple instances of one app on the same page, but if not, we'd have 2-3 duplicate apps with the same backend in the iframe. Because of that, I need to be able to identify app installations as unique - the best way I can figure out is through using the page id and tab id, for the app.</p> <p>How do I do that?</p> <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> Found out that you can only have one instance per app on a page.</p> <p>With that, I went with using this solution (with '/tabs/' to get the tab info):</p> <pre><code>try { $tab = $facebook-&gt;api('/'.$fb_page_id.'/tabs/'.$fb_app_id); $fb_tab_link = $tab['data'][0]['link']; } catch (FacebookApiException $e) { echo '&lt;!-- '.htmlspecialchars(print_r($e, true)).' --&gt;'; } </code></pre> <p>In the above code, <code>$fb_tab_link</code> or a combination of <code>$fb_page_id</code> and <code>$fb_app_id</code> can be used as unique identifier. I decided to use the concatenation <code>$fb_page_id . '-' . $fb_app_id</code> as the instance ID.</p>

    1. COI'm not sure what you mean; your app is sent a 'page' parameter in the signed_request telling you what page the app is installed on, so you can use that to determine which content to show - can't you just use that to determine which page the app is installed on?

    2. COYes, I wound up using the PAGE_ID/tabs/APP_ID api call, as a unique identifier, which also returns the link to the current tab.
