fbml show logged user's name

What app can I use to make a welcome tab and show the logged user's name on a Facebook page. I know FBML is not going to be around for much longer, but this is the perfect solution for me.

Thanks!

Solution

  • You can combine using a Facebook application that serves landing pages like http://apps.facebook.com/iframehost-d/ along with the fb:name tag http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fbml/name/ to show the logged in user's name.

    But given that FBML is being deprecated, the better way is to use the Graph API with something like this:

    FB.api('/me', function(response) {
  alert('Your name is ' + response.name);
});
