Facebook: Application Menu points to Connect URL for Facebook application

I have an IFrame app, and I would like to use some Connect features using javascript.

But when I set the Connect URL in the application settings, it then causes two problems.

1) The link for the app in the Application Menu now points to: http://mydomain.com/myapp/ instead of: http://apps.facebook.com/myapp/

2) The request opens in a new window (instead of the same window, as other apps do)

Is there any way to fix that? I'd like my application continue to use http://apps.facebook.com/myapp/ even after setting the Connect URL

Many thanks for reading

Well,

after 3 months you guys probably found out the answer. But as many others might have the same problem, as I did, the correct configuration seems to be the next one:

  1. In the Canvas Callback URL you insert your server´s URL (where the work really happens)
  2. In the Bookmark URL you insert something like this: http: slash slash apps dot facebook dot com slash YOURCANVASNAME slash - i.e., if your canvas name is acmeenterprises, so your Bookmark URL has to be http: slash slash apps dot facebook dot com slash acmeenterprises slash
  3. The Connect URL is the main URL of your host - normally.

Hope it helps!

Alexandre.

I have the exact problem - on some pages (like profile settings) it shows iframe URL, and on some - correct apps.facebook... URL. There is similar topic on fb forum. Seems like general bug http://forum.developers.facebook.com/viewtopic.php?id=33364
