I am using different facebook dialog boxes on my external website(a kind of facebook application) for tasks like posting to feed, Sending app requests etc. Earlier all dialogs were displaying properly but from last couple of days I have been experiencing display issues as dialog are not displaying to there full height.
I have tested on Chrome, Firefox and Safari browsers, at all places same issue.I even asked some of my friends to check at there places, as a result they are also facing the same.
Here is the snapshot link:
Here is the code to one apprequest dialog, I m using:
<body onLoad="warmup();">
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
function sendRequest(type) {
var request = {
method: 'apprequests',
message: 'Hey! I Just Wanted You To Fill My Slambook.',
data: type,
title: 'Select friends'
};
FB.init({
appId:'xxxxxxxxx', cookie:true,
status:true, xfbml:true
});
FB.ui(request, function (response) {
if (response && response.request_ids) {
document.getElementById('sent').style.display='block';
} else {
}
})
}
function warmup(){
FB.init({
appId:'xxxxxxxxx', cookie:true,
status:true, xfbml:true
});
}
This is a bug that will be fixed soon: http://developers.facebook.com/bugs/194725433940802
A little trick that work for me:
var HACKAppRequests = {
id_interval:0,
busca:function(){
var i,fb_root,iframe;
try{
fb_root = document.getElementById('fb-root');
iframe = fb_root.getElementsByTagName('IFRAME');
recorre_iframe:
for(i=0;i<iframe.length;i++){
if(iframe[i].className=='FB_UI_Dialog'){
clearInterval(HACKAppRequests.id_interval);
iframe[i].style.height = '550px';
break recorre_iframe;
};
};
} catch(err){};
}
};
FACEBOOK CALL
function buscaAmigosFB(){
FB.ui({method:'apprequests',
title:'Esto es sólo para TI',
message:'He decidido comenzar a escribir una historia. ¿Te atreves a escribirla conmigo ;D?',
max_recipients:1
},someFunction);
// RESIZE
HACKAppRequests.id_interval = setInterval(HACKAppRequests.busca,250);
};

I'm just trying to load the facebook sharer page into an iframe which is in a positioned div with no success.
Here is the code I'm using for the iframe,
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://www.website.com&t=Title Hoes Here"></iframe>
When I view the page its blank and the iframe source is
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://www.website.com&t=Title Hoes Here">
<html>
<body></body>
</html>
</iframe>
If I view the url directly, everything appears properly.
Does facebook block loading the sharer in an iFrame? and what are my alternatives to have the facebook sharer appear in a modal window?
Thanks
Yes, Facebook pretty much blocks all loading of screens inside of iFrames.
If you are using Facebook connect there is some simple javascript methods you can execute to get a dialog on your page, and to boot Facebook will take care a lot of the work it takes to make the screen look nice.
See this link ( http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/FB.ui/ ) or use the code below:
FB.ui(
{
method: 'feed',
name: 'Facebook Dialogs',
link: 'http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/',
picture: 'http://fbrell.com/f8.jpg',
caption: 'Reference Documentation',
description: 'Dialogs provide a simple, consistent interface for applications to interface with users.'
},
function(response) {
if (response && response.post_id) {
alert('Post was published.');
} else {
alert('Post was not published.');
}
}
);
If you are not using Facebook connect then really your only option to get that exact screen is to throw a pop-up.
Another option would be to use the like/send button plugin, this isn't quite the same functionality but is easier to integrate. http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/

I have the following code but the FB.login gives a FB is not defined javascript error.
What am I missing?
<html>
<body>
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
window.fbAsyncInit = function()
{
FB.init
({
appId : 'XXXX',
status : true,
cookie : true,
xfbml : true
});
};
(function()
{
var e = document.createElement('script');
e.src = document.location.protocol + '//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js';
e.async = true;
document.getElementById('fb-root').appendChild(e);
}());
FB.login(function(response)
{
if(response.session)
{
if(response.perms)
{
alert('yippee');
}
else
{
alert('oh no');
}
}
else
{
alert('login silly');
}
}, {perms:'email,user_birthday'});
</script>
hello
<fb:login-button></fb:login>
</body>
</html>
The function assigned to window.fbAsyncInit is run as soon as the SDK is loaded. Any code that you want to run after the SDK is loaded should be placed within this function and after the call to FB.init. For example, this is where you would test the logged in status of the user or subscribe to any Facebook events in which your application is interested.
Try by keeping other initialization code in between inialization and login function
Or keep FB.login code in $(document).ready
$(document).ready(function(){
FB.login(function(response)
{
if(response.session)
{
if(response.perms)
{
alert('yippee');
}
else
{
alert('oh no');
}
}
else
{
alert('login silly');
}
}, {perms:'email,user_birthday'});
});
You should not call to FB.login before JS-SDK is loaded, window.fbAsyncInit designed especially for this. If you move this call to be within window.fbAsyncInit function you'll be fine but be aware of fact that calling to FB.login opens popup, doing this without user interaction will be probably blocked by most browsers. If you want to use FB.login to handle login, you must do it on click or sumbit events...
BTW, you already have fb:login-button which is doing login once user clicks on it.
You can also get this error if you try to launch the facebook example code on your machine (e.g. copying the code in a .html file and trying to open it in your browser). You will need to upload this to your server and run it from there.
I want to integrate an invite friends from facebook option like how foursquare have implemented it. I checked out the fb:Request form but wasn't able to run it successfully. Plus I heard theyre deprecating the legacy FBML library so is there any better way of doing this?
I'm working in php here.
The Facebook requests dialog has replaced it. It uses the Facebook javascript SDK.
Full example (click here to run it on jsfiddle):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<div id="fb-root"></div>
Invite your friends
<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js"></script>
<script>
FB.init({ appId: '**yourAppId**', status: true, cookie: true, xfbml : true });
function sendRequests() {
FB.ui({method: 'apprequests', message: 'You should learn more about this awesome site.', data: 'tracking information for the user'},
function(response) {
if (response != null && response.request_ids && response.request_ids.length >0) {
for(var i = 0; i < response.request_ids.length; i++) {
alert("Invited: " + response.request_ids[i]);
}
} else {
alert('No invitations sent');
}
});
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Im fancing a really weird problem with the edge.create callback.
What im doing is to execute an ajax call to the server each time an edge.create or edge.remove event occurs (the firs is to like and the second to unlike a page).
Heres the code
// this will fire when any of the like widgets are "liked" by the user
FB.Event.subscribe('edge.create', function(href, widget) {
var dataSend = 'ajaxFace=true&submitAdd=true&code='+SomeCodeToAdd;
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'http://somewebpage.com',
data: dataSend,
success: function(data) {
alert(data);
},
erro: function(data) {
alert('Try again later');
}
});
});
//this will fire when any widgets are "disliked" by the user
FB.Event.subscribe('edge.remove', function(href, widget){
var dataSend = 'ajaxFace=true&submitDelete=true&code='+SomeCodeToRemove;
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'http://somewebpage.com',
data: dataSend,
success: function(data) {
alert(data);
},
erro: function(data) {
alert('Try again later');
}
});
});
Now, whats happening.
The function for the 'edge.remove' event works smooth and without any problems.
But when the user click like the code simply dont run on the success part of the ajax call, i tryed a simple alert like alert('test'); but nothing happens too. The code, however, works fine on the backend and the code I want to add is added with success.
However if i set the async : false the code works, the alerts is presented on the page but the browser gets that nasty "lock down" that i really want to avoid.
So, anyone have any idea whats exactly going on here?
PS.: Theres 2 others facebook elements on this page, the comments and activity feed. I dont know but im with the impression that the activity feed may have something to do with this...
I think this is some sort of scope issue. If you define the function containing the ajax call outside of the scope of the FB.Event.subscribe, and just call that function from within the FB.Event.subscribe, that may fix the issue.
HI i was facing the same problem but for different FB event. Here is my code an it 100% working :-
<!doctype html>

<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Facebook Like Button</title>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>--->(DO not forget to include)
</head>
<body>
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({appId: '464134126954048', status: true, cookie: true,xfbml: true});
FB.Event.subscribe("message.send", function(targetUrl) {
$.ajax({
url:'abc.php',
type:'POST',
data:{name:'sunlove'},
success:function(data)
{
alert("I am here");
}
});
});
};
(function() {
var e = document.createElement('script'); e.async = true;
e.src = document.location.protocol +
'//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js';
document.getElementById('fb-root').appendChild(e);
}());

You can just copy and make new file and customize according to your need
I recently upgraded to open graph and implemented some of the facebook social plugins on my website like fb:friendpile fb:like-box etc
Ever since I implemented these new features, I'm seeing some random behavior with these plugins.
Like on my home page, when you type in the URL and go for the first time, none of the facebook social plugins are rendered - no login button, no friendpile no like - nothing.
But when you hit CTRL F5 - they appear. First I thought it probably has somethin to do with my machine but yesterday two of my users reported the same issue.
I googled around and it seems to have something to do with where you place your connect code. Right now, I have this relevant portion of the script placed in my head tag - I even tried placing it right before the end of body tag - but it made no difference.
<script type="text/javascript">
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({appId: '<?php echo Zend_Registry::getInstance()->configuration->facebook->appid;?>', status: true, cookie: true, xfbml: true});
/* All the events registered */
FB.Event.subscribe('auth.login', function(response) {
// do something with response
login();
});
FB.Event.subscribe('auth.logout', function(response) {
// do something with response
logout();
});
};
(function() {
var e = document.createElement('script');
e.type = 'text/javascript';
e.src = document.location.protocol +
'//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js';
e.async = true;
document.getElementById('fb-root').appendChild(e);
}());
function login(){
document.location.href = "<?php echo $this->baseUrl(); ?>/login/log";
}
function logout(){
FB.init({appId: '<?php echo Zend_Registry::getInstance()->configuration->facebook->appid;?>'});
FB.logout(function(response) {
// user is now logged out
});
document.location.href = "<?php echo $this->baseUrl(); ?>/login/logout";
return false;
}
</script>
Any insights in trouble shooting this will be appreciated
Thanks
Your logout logic seems problematic (you call FB.logout() in logout() -- but also call logout() on the 'auth.logout' event, which seems circular). You should also remove the FB.init() call inside your logout() function. The lack of xmlns:fb on the <html> tag is often the cause of XFBML not rendering in IE, so I'd double check that. You could also try replacing the async loading with sync loading using a normal script tag like:
<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js"></script>
But a live repro case would be more helpful since your code looks fine for the most part.
