   John (or Dave or Bandon?)

   I found the instructions: How do I exclude a plugin from use inside of Facebook or only us a plugin inside of Facebook? (http://wpbook.net/docs/faq/) -

   - and I was wondering if it would be possible to include that functionality (those options) directly into the plugin in a future update.

   It is completely out of pure laziness that I ask this, but I think it would be a boon to many of us that use this plugin...if it's possible.

   How do I exclude a plugin from use inside of Facebook or only us a plugin inside of Facebook?

   You'll want to go to the your plugin file you wish to exclude/include inside your app and add this to the top of the main file that calls the function.

   if (isset($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"])) {
   $is_facebook = "false";
   }
   if (isset($_GET['fb_sig_in_iframe']) || isset($_GET['fb_force_mode'])) {
   $is_facebook= "true";
   }

   if ($is_facebook == "false") { //make sure the user IS NOT logged into Facebook
   //(rest of plugin code)
   } //end check to see if user is inside of facebook

   To only use a plugin in facebook use

   if ($is_facebook == "true"){ //make sure the user IS logged into Facebook
   //(rest of plugin code)
   } //end check to see if user is inside of facebook

   @rashadow - not sure we can do this, as it requires modifying other plugins' files.

   There's no standard API I know of for disabling the actions of other plugins - things could get a bit scary if it was possible!

   No reason other plugin developers can't use the same approach to check to see if they are inside FB, but I don't know how I can force them to
