Twitter to Facebook
I did some research here and on google, but not successful - I am looking a way to sync my Twitter account with Facebook. Meaning that new Tweets get automatically posted on Facebook
Regards,
CI
I hope this will work.
Login in Twitter and Facebook.
In Twitter, click your profile icon and choose "Settings and privacy".
Choose "Apps".
Choose Facebook Connect and Click connect to Facebook.
Pop up confirmation will occur just CLICK "Continue as " button.
And you will see this message:
"Twitter would like to post to Facebook for you.
Who can see Twitter's posts on your Timeline?" -- Set who you want to see your posts AND then Click OK.
"Facebook Connect
Your account is connected to Facebook.
Allow Twitter to: (JUST make sure you checked the 2 checkbox)
(check this)post retweets to Facebook
(check this)post to my Facebook profile
Allow posting to one of your pages."
You can now test some retweet or tweet then check your Facebook account.

If I create an app for my wesite under the tab 'website with Facebook login' - how does this work for users accessing my site?
Do users HAVE to sign in with Facebook to view my site?
Or would they only be prompted to sign in if they were not signed in and they clicked my Like or Send buttons (the only button's we'll have)?
If a user doesn't click the like or send - will they be affected?
As much details about the user experience as possible wouldbe great. Cheers all!
Facebook login is usually just a wrapper on top of your website that allows you to get Facebook user details if they use Facebook. You will still need a system to track who is actually logged in to your site and they will still have to click the "Login with Facebook" button.
On the other hand, the Like and Share buttons are independent as they simply send your website data to Facebook and Facebook does not send anything back to you.
You do not need Facebook login functionality to put Like or Share features on your page.
If you go to login on Pinterest, 2 big buttons appear, one for Facebook, one for Twitter. I am confused about how the Facebook one works, compared to the Facebook Registration Plugin I have been trying.
On Pinterest, if you click the link you are logged into Facebook, it takes you right to your Pinterest account. When I set up the Facebook Registration Plugin on my own site, it says you are supposed to use an iframe, which loads a form for the user to fill out with whatever info you want from them. I am confused as to how I would just get the user to bypass this iframe on my site.
Pinterest uses server side OAuth to authenticate using Facebook.
Here's the documentation:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/server-side/
I'm browsing some news sites and most of them have the option of posting the link on your facebook wall. Or retweeting it. Or to other social media sites.
How do they get the user to authenticate themselves? I just push a button and it asks me to log in, and then it creates a new post on my facebook wall.
I want to reproduce this behavior but don't know where to start.
Read the facebook information for developers here It allows you to create actions that users can do on your site like reading an article or post a photo and it will add it to their facebook profile. There is also the capability for users to register or login to your site using their facebook credentials.
Similarly go here for twitter.
These sites are all using OAuth. It basically involves the transaction of a request for an access token from the site you are logging in through. Your users validate that they approve the validity of your request by authenticating with the third party system such as Twitter or Facebook and then these systems return a token that allows you to read/write/modify user data from these sites on their behalf.
I have a javascript function to invite facebook user's to my "app" which is my website where you can login using facebook. When the user clicks invite friends, the invite friends dialog pops up, you can invite your friends and all is fine. When the friends who got invited go to their facebook, they get the notification to come use the app. However, when they click the notification it says this (for me cause im the developer).

I want it to actually take me to the page where the user has to allow the app permission like so :

I know it's not the javascript... It has to be an app setting. I don't understand the canvas url part. I've looked into it, and it looks like you only use that when you have an app that operates through facebook, but from your website. That's not what I want. Any help please? It's driving me nuts!
The error message should have pointed you to the right place I think, it's saying that you haven't specified your canvas URL and secure canvas URL - these settings are configured under 'App on Facebook.com' in the app settings.
Invites go to your the root of your Canvas App (i.e apps.facebook.com/something - which maps to the 'canvas url' and 'secure canvas url' fields in the settings ) - if you need to redirect them somewhere else after processing the Request, you've to implement that yourself
I want to implement a "remember me" feature on me website using the facebook connect.
On my website, i have the possibility to do the login by two distinct ways:
Normal login
Facebook Connect
When an user performs the login with facebook connect, even if he logs out on his facebook account, i want to keep him logged in on my website. He will only log out if he clicks on the logout button on the website.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance
Here is a tutorial using PHP that demostrates how to use Facebook connect. If you read the section about the login page, you'll see that Facebook does some funky javascripting that creates session cookies on your domain based on the login status on Facebook. You might be able to manipulate the API to give yourself the persistance that you're looking for.
Good luck, and hope this helps some in your project.
