Facebook apps are allowed to have a tab that a user can add to his profile’s tabs if he wants.

How can I get the uid or otherwise identify the currently logged in user in order to customize the layout for him please?

Thank you.

    As noted here:

    Facebook does not pass back who the viewing user is when she first visits your tab. Facebook does send the profile owner’s ID in the fb_sig_profile_user parameter, so you know whose profile to display content for.

    Visitor id is passed as request parameter after a user interacts with your tab. I can’t find exact parameter name as they removed a wiki page that used to contain a list of all passed parameters, but if you dump all your request vars you should be able to see it (but not during the first visit).
