Displaying Your Application’s Name

Problem

I’d like a way to output my application’s name so that it will update automatically if I change it later. Also, I decided to put the word “message” in my application’s name and have now discovered that I can’t add it to things like my Mini-Feed and News stories, because Facebook won’t let me put that word in those places.

Solution and Discussion

Use the very simple fb:application-name tag, which will output your app’s current name as plain text. The simplest and only form is:

<fb:application-name />
