function fb_process in Drupal for Facebook 7.4

Same name and namespace in other branches

1. 6.3 fb.process.inc \fb_process()
2. 7.3 fb.process.inc \fb_process()

This function uses regular expressions to convert links on canvas pages to URLs that begin http://apps.facebook.com/...

This is a relatively expensive operation. In the past, this had to be run on all FBML canvas pages. Now with iframe canvas pages, this is not strictly needed, but remains useful. If processed, links on the page will change the parent frame (the one with the URL shown in the browser). If not processed, the links will change only the iframe.

Parameters

$output is the page (or iframe block) about to be returned.:

$options - 'add_target' will cause target=_top to be added: when producing an iframe. 'absolute_links' will change hrefs with absolute URLs to refer to canvas pages.
