New in phpfox and needed to make facebook login I looked for facebook-connect to what is said in this tutorial here, found it and was just browsing a bit more to check if it was similar to fb login. Later I came to look for it again but seems facebook-connect disappeared in the AdminCP Manage settings. Checked history and found page but when I go there I get this "This setting group has no available settings." tried to use find missing settings but no luck. How do I get facebook-connect option settings back?
The how to enable Facebook Connect tutorial is here, if you still don't get it you probably disabled the Facebook module, if that is enable you should contact the Support department, perhaps you edited a template?

I am using the javascript SDK as shown in the documentation, my issue that when the user logs in, a list of users that have already allowed the app shows in the position of the login button. Any one have any ideas as to why this happens and/or how to fix it.
edit: seems like its the facepile plugin, but i havent specifically enabled that plugin.
oops, i had the data-show-faces attribute set.
I am trying to post to user wall but I am receiving this error when when share window pops up:
The post's links must direct to the application's connect or canvas URL
Now, I made a proper Google search in hopes to find a solution, but the only one given was that I need to disable "Stream post URL security". I checked the advanced settings for my app and it is already set to disabled.
So, by having a few years of experience with development on Facebook, and by knowing how incredibly bad the communication between us developers and FB has been in the past, I'm highly doubtful that they will assist me on this. Although I have heard that feedback is better here on SO than the good old FB platform forums. Well, lets see if my only option is to set my hair on fire or that there might be a kind soul out there that can assist.
This answer from the WordPress forums via user Samuel Wood (Otto) worked for me:
Go to the Facebook App. Edit its settings. On the Advanced settings page, disable the "Stream post URL security" option.
Did you generate the access token using the Graph explorer app on FB?
Make sure you select your app from the select box on the top-right.
It will be selected as Graph Explorer by default.
This error happens as the selected app would be Graph explorer and its canvas/site url is not pointing to your site.
Doing this fixed my problem; it may fix yours as well.
With the new app interface, issue is solved by turning off the "Stream post URL security" in the "migration tab"
you always have to use the same domain for linking as specified on the app's developer settings. Now you can have several tlds, and custom prefixes as well.
For others experiencing this problem, I was able to resolve this by configuring the Facebook > App > Settings > App on Facebook > Canvas URL
I have experienced problem accessing my Application Profile Page.
It was actually happening since today.
When I create a new application, in my Basic setting > View App Profile Page
it's just redirect to my website.
It also happening if I go to http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=228671190534769
However if I open another app (that is I have created before today). It works well
Anyone experiencing the same? Please help!
Yes... I am getting the same thing!!

I am writing a website using which a user would be able to change his status on facebook. Now for this, I have to register my website on facebook. When I go to register my website on Facebook, there are various options like 'MobileApp', 'FacebookApp', 'Website' etc. Can anyone please suggest which one of these is a correct option for me. An article explaining me the same would be useful. Thanks
Saurabh
What sort of app do you want to build? Those options are for configuring the different places your app will be accessed by users.
It sounds from your description that you probably want 'Website' since you said you're building a website.
You have to Create a New App from developers.facebook.com .
Then you go Settings > Basic and select App on Facebook from bottom section.
Enter your "return url" and its done.
I recently implemented the Facebook social plugin for comments on my blog. I assumed, incorrectly, that I would get a Facebook notification when someone posts a comment to one of my articles. I was wondering if that is a possibility.
I have read references to the use of a event.subscribe function in the javascript SDK, but I wasn't really interested in creating a javascript-based notification dingus but would rather just see the little badge in my Facebook notification window.
I'd love any insight on how others have addressed this.
Thanks in advance!
Just add yourself as moderator under Facebook developers comments tool. That's it. You'll start getting notifications of any comments on any of your blog posts.
Shorter way:
Open this url (am assuming you are signed into Facebook and is administrator of your Facebook app):
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/comments/
Click on settings
Add yourself (or any of your friend/employee) as moderator.
Lengthier way:
Click on 'Moderation Tool' on any of your blogpost's facebook comments.
You must be on Facebook developers page now. On this page, you must be seeing something like 'your app name' > 'the blogpost title' (from where you clicked moderation tool). Here click on your app name.
On this new page, click on settings.
You must be seeing a modal now. Add yourself (or any of your friend) as moderator here.
You must be getting notifications now.
For those who have been struggling to find a way to get notified when someone sends a comment on your page, here's a (sort of) solution.
Assuming you've created an app for your website, add the following meta tag to your <head>: <meta property="fb:app_id" content="YOUR_APP_ID_HERE" />
Then in Facebook Moderation Tool choose your app and click on Settings in top right corner. In settings, choose Moderation rules tab and at the bottom, you'll find an option Closed under Moderation heading. Select this option. By setting Closed option you basically have to approve all comments that are added to your site, but right now that's the only option how to get notified right in your Facebook without setting up custom listeners on comment.create event. That's also why this solution is sort of solution.
Also don't forget to add yourself as a moderator as Saurabh's answer suggests (otherwise you won't get any notification in your facebook).
Easiest way is to just check the Facebook moderation tool. You could build some kind of notification system that pulls comments using the graph api. I haven't seen any alert/notification system yet that somebody has else built but it would be pretty easy.
Unfortunately, even on the doncaprio blog, the owner has noted that
"For some reasons, notifications stopped working for some months now. I'm yet to find a fix for this... seems like an issue with fb or something."
I've come to the conclusion that I have to live with not having comment notifications.
