Ok so I am wanting to add the ability for users to use their facebook accounts to register to a site. I have gone through the dev files and various tutorials online. The issue is that no matter what method I follow I have yet been able to get it to work.
I have tried using source from here as well:
http://www.masteringapi.com/tutorials/how-to-use-facebook-registration-plugin-as-your-registration-system/15/
Is there some dependency that I need for the site, some other system for facebook to load right?
Here is the test version of the site: http://ohmsgaming.com/Misc/nstdt/v2/
Your page show an error like "'redirect_uri' should be an absolute url."
Use absolute Uri in redirect Url field of request query to fix the issue.
You can use Open Authentication technique to set up authentication system in your site. And once the user is authenticated you will get the publicly shared information of the user. This information can be registered in website at first login.
I successfully implemented the same in http://www.nowrunning.com using brickred's social auth code.

The instructions from Janrain for social login provider setup conflict with the hint within the error message from the Facebook https response. Details follow.
Error screen when testing Facebook from Janrain; note that same error happens in any browser such as Firefox, Chrome if you test the sign-in widget.
Error Text from Facebook:
App domains must match the domain of the Facebook Web Games URL (https), Mobile Site URL, Unity Binary URL, Site URL or Secure Page Tab URL.
Please correct these domains: (snip).
Based on the hints from the Janrain Facebook Provider Setup wizard, I have set the website to the URL on rpxnow (i.e. definitely not my web site).
What URL(s) should then be entered into Basic and/or Advanced Settings such that Facebook can process the login? I have tried using the rpxnow URLs and my own web site URLs. Either of 2 things happens regardless of whether I include https:// or start from the subdomain of any combination of names. Either Facebook will not save the details on Basic App Domain and gives the above error, or Facebook will save the details but then gives the error in the first screenshot above.
I do not see how this can ever work because Facebook wants a match on the domain and rpxnow will never be the domain that I use to invoke the sign-in.
For completeness, I will show my Facebook settings, so it will be obvious that they do not match the current Janrain Setup Guide for Facebook.
Basic Settings
Is the Namespace relevant? Better to leave blank? Does it need to match something within Janrain?
Advanced Settings
I could believe that something has to be done to allow cross-domain access. Does anyone have this working with a new Janrain account (3 weeks old) and a new Facebook developer account (old Facebook account, new developer app)?
Replying as an answer so I can attach a picture.
I have a feeling this might be something to do with Facebook's impending changes to their app security (https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2017/12/18/strict-uri-matching/ ). It appears that you need to add the Valid OAuth redirect URI for any new API v2.11 apps now (not after March). We were already planning to address this before March but we will have to update sooner.
For your Facebook app you will have to set up the "Valid oAuth redirect URIs" similar to the following screen shot, just replace "pbjanraintest" with whatever your Engage app name is:
Sorry for all the trouble you have had. It's hard to keep up with these providers when the messaging doesn't align with what their apps and api's are actually doing.
I just received the same error this week. Leave off the https:// in the OAuth redirect URIs box.
Thank you very much for visiting this topic. Currently I'm working on a smaller application that can be installed on facebook pages (not accounts, but separately created pages, like company or fan pages on facebook). I managed to fire up the php SDK for it, even made successful user authentications and played around with access tokens (only user access tokens though).
However my problems arose when I've tried to determine if the current user is an administrator for that facebook page (where the application is installed).
I've done numerous google searches and research into this topic, but sadly I've realised that most tutorials, questions or related topics are all outdated, or they have obsolete solutions.
I kept running into the 'manage-pages' permission when people advised me to go for page access tokens. However in my opinion asking facebook to grant me manage-pages permission, then prompting users to allow me access to everything on their pages during authentication seems a bit far fetched.
I do not want to modify or read their page contents in any way. I simply want a mini admin page for the application that can be opened by only users that are admins of that certain page.
I've seen an edit url that can be added in the settings of the application. However I could not find out what it does, or how can I access it if I add an url there. The related documentation on facebook seems to be out of date.
I would be very grateful if someone can point me in the right direction with this. Basically I'm looking for a method, that does not require me to use the 'manage_pages' permission, but I can still check out if the current user viewing the installed application on the page is an admin or not. (I wonder if facebook supports an other method for this)
Thank you very much for any kind of tips or aid in this matter!
Facebook never gives of fan pages or other pages access.
You have to communicate with facebook page admin and its give a token.
Suppose if you have a permission than it generated token will be you use in your application
how do you do?
1 communicate with admin.
2 Admin generat token from https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer
3 go to tools and support than it generated token you use in your application.
Note: "Page of admin can it do to generate token"
Today I was trying to add Facebook features to my site. It's hosted on 0fees.net.
On 0fees.net, I uploaded index.html to my web host, for example mysite.0fees.net. This works, and the page opens fine when I access the URL.
Then, on Facebook, I created my Facebook application, and set the 'Website with Facebook Login' setting as http://mysite.0fees.net/, pressed Save Changes. But I got the error message,
Error Site URL is not a valid URL.
When I try set another URL (for example mysite.1fees.net) the application saved fine.
I do not want to change provider, so how can I set mysite.0fees.net?
When trying to post the link http://0fees.net/ on Facebook, you’ll see a message that you can not do so because the domain is blocked for being spammy. So you’ll have to use another domain, I’m afraid. (That’s the problem with cheap webhosting where you’ll only get a subdomain – let one user do something stupid under that main domain, and all other’s using it will get punished as well.)
I'm using socialoauth (http://code.google.com/p/socialoauth/) to implement twitter & facebook logins for a web site. The site is php and mysql based.
I've got logins implemented and working, but I need to get the users screen name or email so that I can store their preferences about my site in a mysql database. I'm not sure how to go about getting their information once I've got the oauth_token and oauth_secret. I couldn't find any documentation or examples using socialoauth, aside from getting the logins working.
I downloaded twitteroauth (https://github.com/abraham/twitteroauth), and mismashed that together with socialoauth.php via this tutorial (http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/how-to-authenticate-users-with-twitter-oauth/) and was able to get the twitter user's information, but I would prefer to use only socialoauth.php because it does logins for both facebook and twitter.
Specific question: does anyone know which functions in socialoauth are used to get the user's information (hopefully for both twitter and facebook)? I'm very new to this, so it's possible I saw the function I needed while I was looking through the code, and simply didn't recognize it as what I needed.
Twitter does not provide access to users email addresses. The users Twitter screen_name should be returned in the same request you get their access token however.
With Facebook you have to ask for the email permission and then their email address should be accessible with the profile details.
After following the guide to add Facebook Connect to an Authlogic-enabled Rails app (see http://github.com/kalasjocke/authlogic_facebook_connect), I get the following error when I click on the Facebook's "Connect" button:
You did not provide any details for authentication.
It seems that UserSession.create(params[:user_session]) is trying to authenticate with the standard user and password, but the only params available are the authenticity token.
What additional configuration am I missing?
UPDATE: I've made some discoveries. First, the cookie is named fbsetting_{api_key}, instead of fbs_{api_key} (which is what Facebooker expects), for some reason related to API version. Also, the contents of the cookie don't seem to be what Facebooker expects. I don't know if there's a way to select a specific Facebook API version to prevent this from happening.
Having similar issues here. Lots of the options on http://facebooker.pjkh.com/fb-init-options/app_settings_demo_ifuser work nicely for me, but authlogic facebooker out of the box does not work.
UPDATE: It was my app settings on facebook itself, meant authentication was never being setn back to my site... removing site domain sorted it.
