Biffy Clyro ‘Revolutions // Live at Wembley’ Facebook Tab

facebook.com/biffyclyro1?sk=app_210321145668167

To further inform fans about Biffy Clyro’s new live album I built a Facebook tab showcasing the trailer and encouraging pre-orders of the limited edition boxset.

Kate Brighouse designed the tab and I made a few adjustments while writing all the code.

The tab is built with php, html, css and a bit of Javascript to include the Facebook SDK.

I edited a custom skin for the flash player to make the YouTube playback a bit more stylish. I also used a few css tricks and pngs to immerse the video in the design.

The tab also includes like to view functionality – so any visitors that haven’t liked the Biffy Clyro fan page will be reminded that they need to.

The tab is based on Facebook’s iframe method, which I was apprehensive about at first. While it is a hassle to create a stand-alone application for every tab, it is a lot easier to work in standard html or php rather than fbml. The tab can also be far more dynamic and easily updated without worrying about Facebook caching all the images.
