Facebook Connection Failed error in magento website? - facebook

I have done following steps:-
created an facebook App with all the details filled and got AppID and App Secret.
Integrated an facebook extension to my magento website and filled AppID and App Secret to magento admin.
When I login then it asks for the permissions to access the facebook user details also, but after that it shows error "Facebook Connection Failed".
My website is at localhost and I filled site url = "http://localhost/magento/mywebsite.php" in the facebook App which I created.
I have done this thing prior also. It worked previously but not working this time.

You can't use localhost URLs when configuring your app. The URL needs to be accessible to Facebook. Either use the IP address of your test server, or register a test domain.

Github Apps: Authorize & Request on applications doesn't return code parameter

I've created a Github app with the option "Request user authorization (OAuth) during installation".
When a user requests his admin to install the app, the admin accepts and gets back to the app. I then get a url like:
http://localhost:3000/auth/github/callback?code=a22757013d09ccc5f6ed&installation_id=18334019&setup_action=install&state=MYAPPSTATE
BUT when the user Authorize & Request and he gets back to the app I only get a url like so:
http://localhost:3000/auth/github/callback?setup_action=request&state=MYAPPSTATE
My question is, how to get Github to give me the code parameter so I can know which user has requested to install the github app ?
Thank you 🙏
Apparently this has been fixed now https://github.com/pre-commit-ci/issues/issues/70#issuecomment-899129055
Here is the response I got from GitHub support:
The code parameter is only returned for authorization during installation. There isn't a way to generate one for the user who has requested an admin to approve, authorise and install.
As an organization owner/admin, you should see on the GitHub App review install page the user who has made this request during the application installation. You can also check the integration_installation_request.create logs in the organization to find the user who has requested the installation

Facebook login app for site avaiable only through VPN URL:10.0.0

I am developing a site that I connect to using VPN
the site url now is: http://10.0.5.253
I would like to test if facebook login will work.
I've tried adding url to "Valid OAuth redirect URIs".
I've also tried setting up a "test app"
It is not an intranet site - it will have a public domain when finished.
Thank you #CBroe for the idea.
To the hosts file I added
10.0.5.253 notrealdomain.com www.notrealdomain.com
And then I could set up an facebook app with no problems.

facebook app: cross domain error although it seems well set-up

I have a web app that runs on localhost or example.com. And I am loading the facebook apps sdk to be able to do Single Sign-On, but I have this error in the console:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://www.facebook.com/impression.php. No 'Access-Control-
Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin
'http://example.com' is therefore not allowed access.
whereas I have gone in the settings of the facebook app and enter http://localhost/ or http://example.com/ in the Site URL field.
Here's the screen capture of my local url for instance :
...and the corresponding setting my facebook app account :
I really need some help here please !
Url given in SITE URL field must be match with your WEB URL [where facebook sdk invoked.]
Hence in your case, SITE URL field given : www.example.com
Web App URL must be : www.example.com
I'm running it locally under IIS Express using
http://localhost:XXXXX/
where XXXXX is the port number the website is running on and that works for me.

Using Facebook & Twitter API's on the same local deployment

I am trying to build an application on my local machine using Twitter's OAuth 1.1 API and Facebooks SDK v4 both for PHP.
Both of these mechanisms redirect the user to prompt for permission and redirect back to website. I can get both working but they will not work under the same local url.
I set everything up for Facebook on localhost without any issues but twitter (staggeringly) does not allow using localhost (see here How to test the twitter API locally?). So instead I set up a virtual host using my Mac based MAMP installation and added that url to both Twitter and Facebook applications. Now Facebook does not allow me to use my virtual host. When the prompt for permissions happens and Facebook redirects back to my site, when I try and retrieve the session using getSessionFromRedirect() it returns NULL. This does not happen if I run the same code using localhost.
I have tried using 127.0.0.1 but Facebook does not allow this either (error is invalid because it is a Facebook url!), but Twitter does!?!
Has anyone else had any problems with this or does anyone have any pointers that would help me to test both of these on the same deployment.
Many thanks in advance.

Test OAuth Login Redirection for Facebook

I'm building an ASP.NET MVC application that shows information from Facebook. However, if I'm debugging the website locally without a public HTTP endpoint, how can I test the authentication to grab the OAuth token to ensure my app can pull the correct information?
If you mean running in localhost . . . take a look at this question:
