Trying to set up a follow button with Facebook's plugin here:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/follow/
I've found that any profile url I enter that contains periods (for example, http://www.facebook.com/John.Smith) will return an error.
From the error console I receive
Failed to load resource: The requested URL was not found on this server.
This happens with the HTML5, iframe and URL versions of the plugin. Just out of curiosity I tried encoding the period with %2E, and I also tried using the numeric profile ID, but neither worked.
Is there any other trick I can try to make this work?
I don't think it's a problem with the social plugin. please enter the profile https://www.facebook.com/michael.kamleitner for testing purposes - everything's fine here.
If I open the profile url of John Smith I'm getting an error ("Page not found") - so imho the profile is restricted/not public at all. If it's privacy restricted, you can't use it for the follow-plugin. If you have access to John Smith's account, please double check his follower-settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=followers

As you might know, for loading images from Facebook in our application (in my case AS3) we have to load following policy file:
Security.loadPolicyFile('https://fbcdn-profile-a.akamaihd.net/crossdomain.xml');
otherwise we get following error:
SecurityError: Error #2122: Security sandbox violation: Loader.content: http://test cannot access http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/v22941/254/15/q652310588_2173.jpg A policy file is required, but the checkPolicyFile flag was not set when this media was loaded.
you can find related question here.
I have a Facebook application that is running for long time without problem, but what I am facing today which is bizarre, is that the application gives the same security error message while loading NEW PROFILE PICTURE, and for the profile pictures that have been uploaded about 2-3 weeks ago or earlier, there is no problem.
My question is that did Facebook change its policy? Is it a problem form my side or something is wrong from Facebook? I have googled to see if the Facebook's policy or something else has been changed, but I did not found any clue.
If you go to https://fbcdn-profile-a.akamaihd.net/crossdomain.xml you will see that it returns an error (403 Forbidden: You don't have permission to access /36477/crossdomain/pics-crossdomain.xml on this server) so Flash never gets a valid crossdomain file.
This is an issue that Facebook needs to address.
I know of no way to have Flash ignore crossdomain errors.
I've create an facebook app and it run smoothly at
https://apps.facebook.com/icoloringstar/
But the problem is: when I search my app name "icoloring star" in facebook, it link to the app at url:
https://apps.facebook.com/icoloringstar/?fb_source=search&ref=ts
Then facebook said that:
App "iColoring Star" is unavailable
The app "iColoring Star" is temporarily unavailable due to an issue with its third-party developer. We are investigating the situation and apologize for any inconvenience.
We found that url part "ref=ts" cause above problem, but really do not know why?
Could you explain me why and how to resolve this problem?
Thank you very much.
It sounds like your code is failing when the ref parameter is supplied in the request path.
I was able to repro this with any arbitrary value in the ref parameter when accessing your app
Check your server logs and and see if you're returning a 500 error to facebook when the request comes in
See if you have any code that parses a ref parameter and check it's not throwing exceptions
Make sure your callback URL in the app settings doesn't also specify a ref parameter or your app may receive two values and/or fail entirely
It means 'Top Search'. User enter a query into the top of search.
There are some ref parameters.. ref=bookmarks for example. I dont know the full list.
Did you put your app on Facebook App Center?
According to the specification here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/pagetab/ I want to autorize user with the server-side flow on page tab. I use PHP-SDK.
My redirect_uri parameter is build like that:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/null/PAGE_ID/app_YOUR_APP_ID
and I keep getting:
API Error Code: 191
API Error Description: The specified URL is not owned by the application
I was trying many different settings combinations. Now I have filled fields: App Domains,Site URL,Canvas URL,Secure Canvas URL,Page Tab URL,Secure Page Tab URL but still without success. Addresses are ending with / and are all the same.
Link are build proper by the sdk. I test building it "by hand" without encoding of redirect_uri param and redirect link build like that:
https://www.facebook.com/PAGE_USERNAME/app_YOUR_APP_ID
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Page_Title/PAGE_ID?sk=app_YOUR_APP_ID
Can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong?
The answer to that question is that facebook documentation is incorrect. Format of return_uri that worked is:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/null/PAGE_ID?sk=app_YOUR_APP_ID
The format of return_uri changed again, the new format is:
https://www.facebook.com/PAGE_NAME?sk=app_YOUR_APP_ID
Guys here is my configuration for my facebook app, please tell me if I'm missing anything:
Basic Info-------------
App Namespace: footygo
App Domain: footygo.com
Website----------------
Site URL: http://www.footygo.com
App on Facebook-------
Canvas URL: http://www.footygo.com/canvas/
Secure Canvas URL: https://www.footygo.com/canvas/
Canvas Page: http://apps.facebook.com/footygo
My application contains a folder named Canvas/ which contains all the facebook pages. The Canvas folder contains two files at the moment, namely: Default.aspx and Setup.aspx
Within my web.config file, I have set the following information:
PostAuthorizeRedirectURL="Setup.aspx"
I also tried varying with PostAuthorizeRedirectURL="Canvas/Setup.aspx" to no avail.
I am consistently getting the following error message:
API Error Code: 191
API Error Description: The specified URL is not owned by the application
Error Message: redirect_uri is not owned by the application.
What is the issue? Do you guys have any ideas? This is my first facebook app, and it's not working out as I thought it would :(
Thank you for your time and patience, and sorry if this question has already been posted numerous times. I went through most (but not all) of the 191 error questions but couldn't find anything of value.
Please let me know if you have any idea about what's going on. My release date is less than 24 hours away!
Humble Regards,
Rowan R.
You need to use the full URL. The redirect_uri must be within the same domain name as what is listed in the settings in Facebook.
PostAuthorizeRedirectURL="http://www.footygo.com/canvas/Setup.aspx"
Thanks for your reply Adam!
However I figured out what was wrong and got it to work! It wasn't the PostAuthorizeRedirectURL, it was actually the URL I was using to access my app!
I was accessing my app using https://apps.facebook.com/xxxxxxxxx where xxxxxxx is my app's id. That did not work (at first). I then tried accessing my app using it's app name, i.e. https://apps.facebook.com/xyz and it worked!
All I can say is... the facebook platform sucks.
I am trying to use FBGraph to let my app publish messages on the users wall. However, all of the APIs are kind of foreign to me and I am just trying to change things and see what happens. Right now, I am getting this error message
{
"error": {
"type": "OAuthException",
"message": "Invalid redirect_uri: Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration."
}
}
Does anyone know what it means by redirect_uri? What would it be on my Application Settings page on facebook?
Florin is correct. Just a note here.. when testing locally you will need to set it to:
http://localhost:3000/ (or whatever your app server port is)
Then when you move it to production, set it to your regular URL:
http://yourdomain.com/
I have a separate facebook app that I use in development to test, so I don't have to change back and forth between them and I set up the keys in a settings file, which has my tokens for development and production apps.
Anyways, looks like you are almost there. It is making it back to the callback url at least. Should be fine once you update the facebook_connect URL
I am not a facebook expert, but I hit the exact same problem as you a few hours ago when I was trying to login a user inside a web application with Facebook.
It seems that the redirect_uri which you specify in your call to "https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize" must be on the same domain as the Connect Url of your application. (you can set that connect url from the Connect section in your application's settings)
Regards,
Florin
May need to check your Settings > Basic > Basic Info > App Domain. I believe hat needs to be set correctly for the redirect_uri as well.
I had the same issue.
In my case, I had configured site url on facebook as: "http://localhost:3000", it was a wrong URL to facebook.
The reason is, it lack of the / in the end of url, so the correct site url should be:
"http://localhost:3000/"
Just verify your 'Application ID'. In my case I had that problem because I was using ID from my other project that I was working on. Fairly obvious but I lost some time.
I had to make sure I had the scope in there too:
config.omniauth :facebook, 'xxxx', 'xxx', :scope => 'offline_access,email,publish_stream'
Plus you really need to make sure you wait a couple of minutes because it does take time to propagate..
