Hello guys, I am a part time technician to internet caffe. I provide them support for technical stuff. Recently i begun my studies to computer science and i am trying to focus to developing apps and design websites. My boss asked me something that i am not familiar. we have our own facebook fan page. is it possible somehow when someone click like to our fan page to get a thank you message? We want a function that could provide a thank you message and a bit of a code. The code will be different for every user that likes us. The code that will appear, will be the gift from us to user. He will be able to spend an hour for free to internet cafe by bringing to us that code. I think that we need a database too. Do you have any thoughts?

Now if you want to generate a code for each user you will probably need to add some code if no app is available, but I do know that you can use iframes on facebook which will allow you to embed an external page. Hope it helps
