Facebook Messenger Checkbox Plugin not working / rendering - facebook

We've created a new Facebook App (not reviewed) and added the Messenger Product. We've connected our Facebook Page (Visible: Public) with our App and added a Webhook to the App. As described in the documentation we also have whitelisted our domain in the page settings. But still the plugin does not get rendered. Console output: 'Plugin was hidden'
When testing we're logged in as a Facebook user which has an admin role in the app as well as on the page.
Below you can see how we've integrated the messenger checkbox plugin. As origin we use our domain where the plugin is integrated.
<script>
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId: '766805437589568',
autoLogAppEvents: true,
xfbml: true,
version: 'v9.0'
});
FB.Event.subscribe('messenger_checkbox', function(e) {
console.log("messenger_checkbox event");
console.log(e);
if (e.event == 'rendered') {
console.log("Plugin was rendered");
} else if (e.event == 'checkbox') {
var checkboxState = e.state;
console.log("Checkbox state: " + checkboxState);
} else if (e.event == 'not_you') {
console.log("User clicked 'not you'");
} else if (e.event == 'hidden') {
console.log("Plugin was hidden");
}
});
};
</script>
<script async defer crossorigin="anonymous" src="https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js"></script>
<div class="fb-messenger-checkbox"
origin='https://example.com'
page_id=100378165398818

user_ref="%%uniqueIdForEveryRender%%"
allow_login="false"

In the printscreen you can see the output from the dev console.

We've already checked the following post Facebook messenger checkbox plugin is hidden.

Looks like it is a GDPR related issue:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/europe-updates#nov-30th-2020
In the table Affected features and APIs with mitigations there is an entry for the checkbox plugin:
So we have no choice but to wait until facebook switches the service back on.

Facebook login on cordova app shows blank white screen

This problem has been bugging me for a long time and I can't seem to find the solution, all the settings in my Facebook Developer panel are configured correctly, Site URL, App Domain and OAuth URLs.
When I run my app on my iPhone (I have it installed through iTunes) and click the authentication button I am successfully prompted with this screen:
However, after logging in, I am faced with a blank white screen instead of being redirected to my main.html page.
I am using the OpenFB plugin along with Parse and the Facebook Graph API to authenticate and store my users data, here is my login code:
login.html:
$('.facebookLogin').click(function(){
Parse.User.logOut(); // log current user out before logging in
login();
});
function login() {
openFB.login(function(response) {
if(response.status === 'connected') {
console.log('Facebook login succeeded');
Parse.FacebookUtils.logIn("email", { // permission request to use email
success: function(user) {
if (!user.existed()) {
FB.api('/me', function(response) {
var firstName = response.first_name;
var lastName = response.last_name;
var email = response.email;
var user_id = response.id;
user.set("firstName",firstName);
user.set("lastName",lastName);
user.set("email",email);
user.save();
});
window.location.href= "main.html";
}
else {
window.location.href= "main.html";
}
},
error: function(user, error) {
alert("User cancelled the Facebook login or did not fully authorize.");
}
});
}
else {
alert('Facebook login failed: ' + response.error);
}
}, {scope: 'email'});
}
oauthcallback.html:
<html>
<body>
<script>
// redirects to main page
window.location.href= "main.html";
</script>
</body>
</html>
Note: I have added main.html, login.html and oauthcallback.html to the Valid OAuth redirect URIs list on my panel.
Check that your site is using SSL with a valid certificate.
There might be an error trying to redirect from a non-secure site to an encrypted site.

Trouble with facebook sdk quickstart

Following directions here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/javascript/quickstart
I started with a mostly blank HTML page, just the HTML, Body tags, and a simple Hello World.
I copied and pasted directly from the quickstart page but get nothing (but Hello World does Load).
I have an app ID (I wasn't sure if I should include the {} or not, tried both ways, no change.
I added the code from section "Using the SDK to add Social Plugins", "Using the SDK to trigger a Feed dialog" etc and nothing. Running on CentOS/Apache, server is fine. Not sure what I'm missing. Thoughts?
Thank you for your time.

Maybe something like the following will be of help?
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<!-- Load the Facebook JavaScript SDK -->
<script src="//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
// Initialize the Facebook JavaScript SDK
FB.init({
appId: 'YOUR_APP_ID',
xfbml: true,

});
// Check if the current user is logged in and has authorized the app
FB.getLoginStatus(checkLoginStatus);
// Login in the current user via Facebook and ask for email permission
function authUser() {
FB.login(checkLoginStatus, {scope:'email'});
}
// Check the result of the user status and display login button if necessary
function checkLoginStatus(response) {
if(response && response.status == 'connected') {
//alert('User is authorized');
// Hide the login button
document.getElementById('loginButton').style.display = 'none';

<input id="loginButton" type="button" value="Ligin with Facebook" onclick="authUser();" /></div>
<div class="fb-like" data-send="true" data-width="450" data-show-faces="true"></div>
You have a syntax error in your JS
SyntaxError: syntax error purity2.html:26
To fix it, remove }; from line 19
FB.Event.subscribe('auth.authResponseChange', function(response) {
if (response.status === 'connected') {
console.log('Logged in');
} else {
FB.login();
}
});
}; // this
it should be like
FB.Event.subscribe('auth.authResponseChange', function(response) {
if (response.status === 'connected') {
console.log('Logged in');
} else {
FB.login();
}
});
Now your code should work

Facebook xd_arbiter.php JSON.parse

I've put together a test site to try and get facebook login working with the following code, but I get two errors showing up in FireBug which doesn't seem to effect the functionality of the web page when I just ignore them and carry on.
HTML:

The two errors I'm getting are with xd_arbiter.php?version=27 which seems to get called.
JSON.parse: bad control character in string literal
Line 13
JSON.parse: unexpected non-whitespace character after JSON data
Line 13
As a overview, The intention is to have the page auto-redirect to Facebooks login page (not a pop-up window as this doesn't display correctly on mobile devices). If logged in already, no re-direction happens but user can Log Out which will cause a Login button to be displayed which when clicked goes to the Facebook login page, again no pop-up. This all seems to work fine, but I'm not sure if the code structure is exactly how it should be. I don't believe this to be part of the fault. I really wanted to use the facebook social button to login but couldn't get this to work redirecting to the facebook login page, it only seems to cause a pop-up window which is why I show my own Login with Facebook button.
If it wasn't for firebug halting the code all the time saying there was a error I wouldn't even know there was a problem.
The javascript on my test page is quite complicated but even with everything stripped out and running as above I get this problem.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Facebook - How can i post to a company using the javascript sdk?

Im new to facebook posting but have had some success with posting offline with a user account but cannot post offline with a company page.
I have created my own "Facebook App" called "Nicks Poster App" via my own personal facebook account. I have granted three permissions (offline_access,read_stream,publish_stream) to the app for both my personal page and my company page.
i did this by following these steps for each account...
Creating the app...
1. Login to facebook with the account you want linked to the app
2. Follow this link http://www.facebook.com/developers/apps.php#!/developers/createapp.php
3. Create your app and take a note of you App Id and your App secret Id.
Giving the correct rights to the app and getting the access_token..
Method 1:
1. Get the account in question to login to facebook
2. However you like, direct the user to this link (replacing <App-Id> with the App Id of the created app) https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=<App-Id>&scope=offline_access,read_stream&redirect_uri=http://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html
3. Take a note of the result of the “code” querystring.
4. Goto this url (replace “<APP-ID>” with you appId and “<APP-SECRET>” with your apps secret id and “<code>” with the copied code)
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=<APP-ID>&redirect_uri=http://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html&client_secret=<APP-SECRET>&code=<code>
5. Copy what you see, minus the expires querystring. That is your access_token.
After i had the access token for both accounts i used this code to make the post.
<!-- FACEBOOK -->
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
(function () {
var e = document.createElement('script');
// replacing with an older version until FB fixes the cancel-login bug
e.src = document.location.protocol + '//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js';
//e.src = 'scripts/all.js';
e.async = true;
document.getElementById('fb-root').appendChild(e);
} ());
</script>
<!-- END-OF-FACEBOOK -->
<script>
//initialise
window.fbAsyncInit = function () {
FB.init({
appId: '351023398277068',
status: true, // check login status
cookie: true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session
xfbml: true, // parse XFBML
oauth: true // Enable oauth authentication
});
};
function sendPost(inMessage) {
var opts = {
message: inMessage,
access_token: '<SAVED-TOKEN>'
};
FB.api('/me/feed', 'post', opts, function (response) {
if (!response || response.error) {
alert('Posting error occured');
}
else {
alert('Success - Post ID: ' + response.id);
}
});
}
</script>
When executing the "sendPost" command with the perameter 'Test post', it will work for my personal account (providing i put my access_token in place). This does not work for my company page, and im at a loss as to why(i do put my acess_token in place).
Facebok also havent documented this very well and it makes it hard to make progress, does anyone understand why this doesnt work for company pages?
Thank you in advance.
You can set the "to" parameter to target the page you wish to post to, "manage pages perms will be needed if you wish to post as your page to your page as the application.
<div id="msg"></div>
<script>
// uid is the id of the page or user you wish to post to.
function feedthis2(uid) {
// calling the API ...
var obj = {
method: 'feed',
to: ''+uid+''
};
function callback(response) {
document.getElementById('msg').innerHTML = "Post ID: " + response['post_id'];
}
FB.ui(obj, callback);
}
feedthis2('AnotherFeed'); // to http://facebook.com/anotherfeed
//feedthis2('135669679827333');
</script>

FB.getLoginStatus does not fires callback function

I have a difficult problem. Difficult means I searched through the net and StackOverflow as well the whole FBJS SDK documentation and haven't find answer.
I am building a Page Tab application where I'd like to let fans to rsvp events. So I have to check if the user is logged in and if it doesn't I have to login. That sounds pretty easy, but FB.getLoginStatus doesn't fires callback function. This is the code excerpt:
FB.init({
appId: window.appID,
status: true,
xfbml: true,
cookie: true,
oauth: true,
channelUrl: 'http://example.com/fb/channel.html'
});
and then I simply - of course after the user clicks on a button - call FB.getLoginStatus, but it seems it doesn't do anything.
I've already checked sandbox mode, FB.init success, URLs in application settings and developing environment. I can call FB.ui, although FB.ui with method: 'oauth' I get an error message saying " The "redirect_uri" parameter cannot be used in conjunction with the "next" parameter, which is deprecated.". Which is very weird because I didn't used "next" parameter. But when I set next to undefined, it works fine, I get the window, but it says "Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration.". Expect from that, I can login, then I've got the access_token. But in the new window, getLoginStatus still doesn't do anything.
So any advices are welcome.
Thanks,
Tamas
UPDATE:
function onBodyLoad() { //on body onload
FB.init({
appId: window.appID,
status: true,
xfbml: true,
cookie: true,
oauth: true,
channelUrl: 'http://example.com/fb/channel.html'
});
}
...
function getName() { // on button onclick
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response){
if (response.authResponse)
{
window.loggedIn = true;
debugString('Logged in');
} else
{
window.loggedIn=false;
debugString('Not logged in');
}
}, true);
if (window.loggedIn === undefined) {
debugString('getLoginStatus did not exec'); // I always get this message
}
}
UPDATE 2: I created a new App on a different URL, which is configured as a standalone website. There these codes work perfectly, I can getLoginStatus, I can login, etc. Is there any difference working in the context of FB, and in a standalone website, using FB JavaScript SDK?
FB.getLoginStatus does not fire the callback when you are running the website on a different domain than the one that you registered the app with. I usually find myself in this situation when I am developing locally or on a staging server.
For example, if you registered the site with example.com and your staging server is example.mystagingserver.com, the callback wont fire. In this case, you need to create a second application in Facebook and use the Application ID and Secret for the new app.
I just had the same problem, though it only happened to some users.
I finally found out that if your app is sandbox mode, none-developer users can still see your app as a pagetab. But calling getLoginStatus will fail silently (even logging turned on).
Took a while to figure that one out, I hope this can save someone else some time.
I'm using this code, successfully. I'm not quite sure where the differences are.. but I'm using the ASYNC FB Loader.
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({ appId: 'XXXXXX', //change the appId to your appId
status: true,
cookie: true,
xfbml: true,
oauth: true});
function authEvent(response) {
if (response.authResponse) {
//user is already logged in and connected
FB.api('/me', function(info) {
login(response, info);
});
} else {
//user is not connected to your app or logged out
button.onclick = function() {
FB.login(function(response) {
if (response.authResponse) {
FB.api('/me', function(info) {
login(response, info);
});
} else {
//user cancelled login or did not grant authorization
}
}, {scope:'email,rsvp_event,status_update,publish_stream,user_about_me'});
}
}
}
// run once with current status and whenever the status changes
FB.getLoginStatus(updateButton);
FB.Event.subscribe('auth.statusChange', updateButton);
};
(function() {
var e = document.createElement('script'); e.async = true;
e.src = document.location.protocol
+ '//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js';
document.getElementById('fb-root').appendChild(e);
}());
function login(response, info){
if (response.authResponse) {
accessToken = response.authResponse.accessToken;
userid = info.id;
userInfo.innerHTML = '<img src="https://graph.facebook.com/' + info.id + '/picture">' + info.name+"<br /> Your Access Token: " + accessToken;
}
}
You can use the following code to check if the user is logged in:
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
if (response.authResponse) {
// logged in and connected user, someone you know
} else {
// no user session available, someone you dont know
}
});
From FB JS SDK Documentation.
You can wrap the whole code in jQuery ready :
$('document').ready(function(){
... above code
})
Also you may want to check this question StackOverflow.
I had the same problem. I was working on the facebook login process of our website. During development the "FB.getLoginStatus" did not return a response. I fixed it in the settings of the app on facebook:
-In facebook go to "manage apps"
-Go to the "facebook login" settings of your app
-Add your development url (for example "https://localhost") to the "Valid OAuth Redirect URIs"
(Don't forget to remove the "https://localhost" from the OAuth Redirect URIs when you are finished with developping.)
Something common that causes this is that a browser is blocking cookies, this will cause the event not to fire. Also, make sure that if you or your user have and ad blocker that it is not blocking third party cookies.
Example of warning:
For me after extensive testing can confirm the dialog to log the user will not show unless you use a valid Application ID
These can be found in
https://developers.facebook.com/apps/{{Application__Id}}/settings/
Just make sure you call the api with the correct ID.
