Hack Your Way Into Facebook's New Timeline Feature


How To Enable/Disable New Facebook Timeline Profile NOW.?

Most users will have to wait a few weeks before they get to see Facebook’s most drastic changes to the service since the company was founded, but you can use a developers' workaround to gain access to the Timeline feature right now.

Developers already have access to early beta versions of the new features. Luckily for users eager to try out the revamped Facebook, becoming a developer is a simple process that shouldn’t take you more than 5 or 10 minutes.

Facebook announced the updates on  at the company’s f8 developers' conference.

Step-by-Step Instructions on How to Enable TimeLine Profile Feature?

  • First, log into Facebook and enable developer mode. The easiest way to do this is to just type “developer” into Facebook’s search box and click the first result. It should look like this

OR

  • Login Facebook and access the developer app  (click on Allow button)


  • Now you will see a screen that looks something like this.


  • This is the basic developer page. We’re going to convince Facebook we’re real developers and create an app that uses its new “Open Graph” tech. Don’t worry, it’s not nearly as hard as it sounds.

  • Now, create a new app by clicking the button in the top left corner. Nobody but you will see the app, so the information you enter doesn’t actually matter. Just create an app name and namespace (the latter needs to be all lowercase), agree to the terms and conditions, and create the app. Now you should arrive at the app’s main setting screen, as shown below:

  • Click on the link labeled “Open Graph” on the left (not shown here) to open up the Open Graph Getting Started page.
  • To get started with Open Graph, you’ve got to fill in an action your app can do and an object for your app to interact with. This can be any verb and noun.
  • After you’ve created your action and object, click the Get Started button. This will drop down the first of three pages of settings but, since no one will see them, they shouldn’t matter.


  • Quickly click through them to create your app.
  • When you’re done, you should see a page like this:


Now, come back your Facebook profile, the TimeLine feature appears.

Click on Get it now to enable the redesign profile with TimeLine.


How to Disable TimeLine Profile Feature?

If you’re still not ready with the new interface and want to return to the old, let’s visit the Developer App again to click on the app which you created, then click on Delete App and confirm to disable.
