How to Edit the F.B. Purity Whitelist

By default F.B. Purity hides all messages posted by applications from your homepage. There are a few exceptions, there is a default "whitelist" built into the script, which allows the following "external" applications to post messages to your homepage:

facebook iphone application, selective twitter, tumblr, digsby, tweetdeck, tweetdeck for iphone, facebook for blackberry, facebook mobile widget, facebook for android, facebook for palm, facebook for motorola (motoblur), iphoto uploader, picasa uploader, sprint/samsung? photo/video uploader, SonyEricsson, MusicPlayer, Status Shuffle, Facebook Exporter for iPhoto, official flickr application.

There are a couple of ways you can add applications to the whitelist, the easiest way is to click the "Allow" link that appears when you hover over an application message on your homepage, next to the "Block App" link and the "Hide" button. Clicking the "Allow" link will add that application to your whitelist. You can view and edit the list of application IDs you have added to your whitelist on the F.B. Purity Options screen.

You can also add application IDs to the list manually, by pasting their IDs into the whitelist box on the options screen. You just need to know the application ID of the app you want to whitelist. You can find its ID by going to the application's homepage, by clicking the "via <application>" link at the bottom of an application post , then looking at the URL (a.k.a web address). The applications ID is the numerical bit after "application.php?id="

e.g say i wanted to add the "Honesty Box" application to the whitelist manually, i would go to the "Honesty Box" application page, and look at the URL, which should look something like :

"http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=2552096927&ref=nf"

well the ID for that application would be : 2552096927

If the application page URL doesnt have an ID in it, go to the applications Wall or Info page, that page should have the application's ID in it. Or failing that, look for the "Block Application" link, the application ID will be definitely be embedded in that link. Another place to look for the application ID is in the "posted via someapplication" link at the bottom of the application post in your feed, if you hover your mouse over that link, it will probably display the application ID in the status bar (the bottom right hand corner of your browser)
