I recently integrated the phonegap-facebook-plugin (https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-facebook-plugin) into both iOS and Android (same app).
I want to do something that I believe to be simple: by-pass the call to native facebook for login/authentication and always use the web dialog. How does one go about accomplishing this?
My login code currently looks like this:
Init code:
//facebook initialization
FB.init({
appId: 'xxxxxxxxxxxx', //'<%#= FB_APP_ID %>',//'',
nativeInterface: CDV.FB,
useCachedDialogs: false
});
And the login call is:
FB.login(function(response) {
if (response.authResponse) {
// connected
me.signInFacebook({
token: response.authResponse.accessToken,
email: response.authResponse.email,
success: function (data) {
// hide login view and show tabview
form.destroy();
// continue whatever action was previously happening
me.continueAction(tabIndexBack, callback);
},
failure: function (response) {
// show errors Ext.Viewport.down('tabscontainerview').setActiveItem(3);
}
});
} else {
//go back
Ext.Viewport.down('tabscontainerview').setActiveItem(3);
alert('fb login error');
}
},{ scope: "email" });
Thanks for your help!!
I created a plugin to facilitate the connection between Facebook and phonegap without using Plugin Native only with Jquery:
https://github.com/studiosoton/faceGap
To bypass native FB login, you can make your own manual facebook authentication flow without using JavaScript SDK of the Facebook (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/manually-build-a-login-flow/v2.3) via inAppBrowser or ChildBrowser plugins.
Your app must initiate a redirect to an endpoint which will display the login dialog:
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id={app-id}&redirect_uri={redirect-uri}&response_type=token&scope=email
Facebook redirects people to the redirect_uri mentioned above and places an access token along with some other metadata (such as token expiry time) in the URI fragment:
https://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html#
access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN...
Your app needs to detect this redirect and then read the access token out of the URI. You can then skip straight to the Inspecting access tokens step.
On the Android version of the plugin, you can force it to use the dialog by modifying the way the plugin calls me.facebook.authorize in the login action of theorg.apache.cordova.facebook.ConnectPlugin class.
You'll need to pass in an additional activityCode parameter with Facebook.FORCE_DIALOG_AUTH:
me.facebook.authorize(cordova.getActivity(), me.permissions, Facebook.FORCE_DIALOG_AUTH, new AuthorizeListener(me));
I'm not entirely sure about iOS, but you might be able to try with openWithBehavior and FBSessionLoginBehaviorForcingWebView
Without any Facebook plugins you can use Facebook functionality,for that use phonegap.facebook.inappbrowser.js using this js you can easily access all Facebook functionality for more information visit this URL : Facebook Integration Step without any plugins

I am trying to add facebook authentication on our website using Facebook Javascript SDK v2.10. My aim is to login via Facebook and then fetch the user which was authenticated.
The problem I am facing is that on Firefox, I am unable to fetch the authenticated user.
I have created a test page HERE
When you click on the button 'Login via Facebook', the FB.login function is called. When the response is received, I am calling the FB.api function. Following is my code
FB.login(function(response) {
let p1 = document.createElement('p');
p1.innerHTML = "FB.login response follows:<br>"+ JSON.stringify(response);
document.body.appendChild(p1)
FB.api('/me', {fields: 'id,first_name'},
function(response) {
let p2 = document.createElement('p');
p2.innerHTML = "FB.api response follows:<br>"+ JSON.stringify(response);
document.body.appendChild(p2)
});
});
In Chrome,the callback of FB.api is called and the response is received,but, in Firefox, this is not happening. Kindly help me figure out why this is happening
Ok. I was using Facebook sdk in Polymer app. The sdk documentation suggests adding the sdk initialization code in index.html.
But, for Polymer, you need to add the code in the connectedCallback method of your root app (my-app.html if you are using polymer-starter-kit)
For reasons unknown, the webcomponent-loader.js blocks Facebook initialization on Firefox, if sdk code is added in index.html.
i'm facebook js sdk for users login,
at the server side i want to get the user data
i'm trying to use
Socialite::with('facebook')->user()
to make it work it need 2 query string code and status
in my JavaScript i'm using the following
var auth_status_change = function(response) {
console.log(response);
if(response.status == "connected")
{
window.location = "{{URL::to(App::getLocale()."/fb_login")}}?code="+??+"&state="+???;
}
}
FB.Event.subscribe('auth.statusChange', auth_status_change);
how to get the state and code values to create a valid callback URL for socialite
You're trying to combine 2 things that do the same thing, but one on the server side and one on the client side, that won't work.
Laravel Socialite uses your app token to redirect your user to Facebook, authorize your app to use Facebook on their behalf (token) and provides you with user data. With the token you can do API calls from Laravel.
The Facebook JS SDK does the same thing, but in the browser. It fetches a token which it uses to do API calls.
Check out https://laracasts.com/series/whats-new-in-laravel-5/episodes/9 on how Socialite works.
Unless you are using the JS SDK functionality, you can leave it out and just add a link to a socialite route which redirects it to Facebook. That call will provide you with the code and state required to fetch the user.
I am using facebooksdk.framework 3.1
when I login my app with my account, native login dialog pops up even though web based auth
completed. I need to turn off either native login dialog or web based auth but I don't know how.
I tried to find facebook.m file but there was no such file on facebooksdk.framework 3.1
how do I turn off safariauth or native auth?? It is very strange two login process occurs at the
same time.
First of all go to facebook.m page & try to find the following method:
- (void)authorize:(NSArray *)permissions
delegate:(id<FBSessionDelegate>)delegate
localAppId:(NSString *)localAppId
in this method there is a line:[self authorizeWithFBAppAuth:YES safariAuth:NO];
change authorizeWithFBAppAuth & safariAuth to yes/no according to your need.Hope it helps you.
Or you can try to implement latest Share kit sdk.it is best way.
If you use phonegap facebook plugin, you should call FB.getLoginStatus() carefully.
If FB.getLoginStatus() fires before FB.init() is done, the function would return a response as
'not connected' even if user is already connected.
my login problem was due to FB.getLoginStatus() on my redirected page.
even if user succed login and procceded to my redirected page, the page run FB.getLoginStatus()
and result was always 'not connected' because FB.init() not completely executed.
facebook provides async function to solve this problem but it didn't work when I tested on phonegap.
to check user login, I use FB.Event.subscribe and localstorage for now.
on the page that needs FB functions, I added this javascript code
FB.Event.subscribe('auth.login', function(response){
localStorage.setItem('fblogin', true);
console.log('login event');
}
FB.Event.subscribe('auth.logout', function(response){
localStorage.setItem('fblogin', false);
console.log('logout event');
}
document.addEventListener('deviceready', function(){
try{
FB.init({ appId : '1234567889' , nativeInterface : CDV.FB, useCachedDialogs : true});
}catch(e){
alert(e);
}
var fbval = localStorage.getItem('fblogin');
if(fbval){
// your code for connected status
}
});
basically, I set 'fblogin' localStorage value true whenever login event occurs,
and set the value 'false' whenever logout event occurs.
by comparing 'fblogin' value, I check users are logged or not.
I've already registered my app on Facebook developer and got an ID, but had hard time to characterize the my app(chrome extension), it's website app, mobile app, facebook app? What I wanna do is a simple extension that allows users simply to click on it, and the background JavaScript calls the Facebook API to ask the users to log in like this.
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : '123456789',
status : true,
cookie : true,
xfbml : true,
oauth : true,
});
};
chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function(tab) {
FB.login(function(response) {
if(response.authResponse) {
alert('Welcome! Fetching your information.... ');
FB.api('/me', function(response) {
console.log('Good to see you, ' + response.name + '.');
});
} else {
alert('User cancelled login or did not fully authorize.');
}
});
});
However, it pops up a window that says an error occurred, it is another way of saying "I am not authorized", how do I specify my app's URL on the Facebook developer page, because the extension's URL is a garbage like this chrome extension://asdjlajsldj/ or anyone knows any workaround? Thank you
I would assume that Facebook's API uses OAuth 2 to let applications access users data. Google provides a way of doing this with an example in their API section. I have also have posted an alternative method on GitHub. Note that my method will require some alternations to fit Facebook's interface but the idea is the same (I have a GitHub branch to do this with GitHub).
Essentially your extension must get an access token for the user from Facebook, then using this token as a parameter you can query private data from the API. What makes it seem difficult is the fact the the chrome extensions are sandboxed and have no return URL, but using one of the two methods above should do you just fine.
Good Luck!
I changed my Facebook App to OAuth 2.0. Now the Login window ignores the user permissions.
The new login button code is as follows:
<fb:login-button show-faces="true" width="400" max-rows="2" scope="read_stream, publish_stream, email"></fb:login-button>
when I use perms instead of scope it works.
I have oauth:true in FB.init(). In the app settings oauth2 is active.
(Everything I did and learned was in an effort to be able to publish to a Facebook Timeline from a 3rd party website. I don't know your motive/goal. It might not be the same as mine.)
I am using JS SDK with javascript commands, not xfbml markup.
I am using the beta version of the JS SDK: set the host to connect.beta.facebook.net instead of connect.facebook.net
I have oauth:true in my FB.init() function.
I have app settings for OAuth 2.0 enabled at developers.facebook.com.
This is my FB.login():
FB.login(
function(response) {
if (response.authResponse) {
// handle a successful login
}
},
{
scope: 'publish_stream' // I need this for publishing to Timeline
}
);
One thing I did to debug this was to check the value of FB._oath. If it is undefined, you have a problem. If it is true, you can proceed to the next challenge.
So after lots of trial and error, I finally got FB._auth===true
