I'm trying to get the registration flow for Facebook login working. Here's a bare-bones example:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">
<head>
<title>My Facebook Login Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js"></script>
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
FB.init({
appId:'xxxxxxxxxxx',
cookie:true,
status:true,
xfbml:true,
channelUrl : 'http://<myWebSite>/channel.html',
oauth:true
});
</script>
<fb:login-button registration-url="http://<myWebSite>/register"/>
</body>
</html>
(The only things I've replaced above are the website and the appID)
If I try it like this, the login button shows up, but clicking it causes FireBug to report 'Unknown status: undefined' in the browser log. If I remove the 'oauth=true' line though, it works. I'm trying to adhere to the new oauth 2.0 standard, so I'd like to leave it in. Has anyone else run into this? Seems like if this was a bug, it would have been caught pretty early on.
the 'registration-url' parameter is no longer supported by , take a look in the documentation of it. http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/login/
Just check if the user is logged in via the JS-SDK

I am getting this error in Safari and other browsers:
The "fb-root" div has not been created, auto-creating
all.js:52
FB.getLoginStatus() called before calling FB.init().
all.js:52
In my header I have this:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:og="http://ogp.me/ns#"
xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml"
xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"></script>
<meta property=""fb:admins"" content=""508331528"" />
<meta property=""fb:page_id"" content=""118806721611355"" />
<meta property=""fb:app_id"" content=""426360900751901"" />
(I realize I should not have all three property tags, but I have tried various scenarios)
In the body of the page I have these two simple facebook tags:
<fb:like data-href="http://www.PrintMyWatercolor.com" layout="button_count" style="width: 90px;" data-show-faces="true" data-send="true" action="recommend"></fb:like>
<fb:comments href="http://www.PrintMyWatercolor.com" numposts="25" width="590"></fb:comments>
As far as I understand, this should be ok. I don't have any explicit javascript code for facebook on the page. How can I resolve this error?
Thanks,
Kyle
You don't appear (from that sample ) to have the <div id="fb-root"></div> which the Javascript SDK attaches itself to
Your method of loading the Javascript SDK isn't asynchronous so the SDK may be loading before the page has finished, use the method from the documentation instead, which works by attaching the SDK once the rest of the document has loaded
I have an option to invite facebook friends on my website and I use the code given below. But problem is that it opens in a pop up and chrome and firefox do block the pop up. How can I make it appear in a new tab or window ? Or is there any way so that my pop up won't get blocked ?
<html>
<head>
<title>my website</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js">
</script>
<script>
FB.init({
appId:'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx', cookie:true,
status:true, xfbml:true
});
FB.ui({ method: 'apprequests',
message: 'Take a look at this new website.'});
</script>
</body>
</html>
You basically have 2 options;
Open the popup on a mouseclick event (since these are not blocked by the browser), or
Don't use a real popup, but instead use some cool DHTML widget like http://thickbox.net/
I have the following code to display the FB Like box in a file called notify.html.
<div id="fb-root" class="fb_like"></div>
<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js"></script>
<fb:like-box href="http://www.facebook.com/platform" width="270" height="250" show_faces="true" border_color="black" stream="true" header="true">
</fb:like-box>
This file is included in all my other pages such that everything in notify.html shows up in a sidebar for all pages.
However, the FB like box only shows up on one page,, and that happens to be the page where I also have the FB registration form.
Why does it not show up in other pages?
The FB registration code on the one page the like box shows on is
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js"></script>
<script>
FB.init({
appId:'0000000000000', cookie:true,
status:true, xfbml:true
});
</script>
<fb:registration
fields="[{'name':'name'},{'name':'emailEdu','description':'Your .edu Email','type':'text'},{'name':'captcha'}]"
redirect-uri="http://myurlhere.com">
</fb:registration>
You need the FB.init method once on every page you want to use the api with. If you only have the code from that first example and nothing else, its not working because you haven't initialised the FB object. On the registration code you have the FB init, which is why it suddenly starts working.
Doesn't look like you're exactly copying the FB code. From their code generator on the page you referenced, you should be including the following:
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"></script>
<fb:like-box href="http://www.facebook.com/platform" width="292"
show_faces="true" border_color="" stream="true" header="true"></fb:like-box>
-- but your script tag is missing the #xfbml stuff
Also use firebug or similar to see if you are getting any JS errors. Also check that you're not double loading the FB libs
Added I think the problem is that your xffbml tags are not being parsed on the other pages. Hopefully fixing the script include tag will fix it...
I am trying to find a walk through on how to register users via facebook onto my site.
The facebook developers site keeps confusing me and I was hoping there where easier tutorials to follow.
Stephen,
It can be a little complicated.
You have to combine the documentation at:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/web/
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/registration/
Boiling it down to the simplest case:
<html>
<head>
<title>My Facebook Registration Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js">
</script>
<script>
FB.init({
appId:'yourAppID', cookie:true,
status:true, xfbml:true
});
</script>
<fb:registration
fields="[{'name':'name'}, {'name':'email'},
{'name':'favorite_car','description':'What is your favorite car?',
'type':'text'}]" redirect-uri="Your processing URL">
</fb:registration>
</body>
</html>
Facebook will return an encrypted form field with all the user data called "signed Request" You will need to decrypt this field with your secret key. There is an PHP example at the bottom of http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/registration/
I am using the facebook connect to login into my website.
In my html page i writen the code:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Test JOpenID </title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js"></script>
<script>
FB.init({
appId:'180065668680582',
cookie:true,
status: true,
xfbml:true
});
</script>
<fb:login-button perms="email,user_checkins">
Login with Facebook
</fb:login-button>
</body>
</html>
So when i click on Login with Facebook button a window pop up and ask to fill the username and password. Till this time everything works properly. Problem persist when i click allow button to enter into the destination web-site. A pop up window appear and disappear also. The till of the window was XD proxy and at the url it is ::

As per my requirement is concerned i need after allow the facebook is should allow me to enter to the destination site which i already registered. But it only onen a window and disappear in a second.
What is the issue and how to solve tell me in details...
Thanks
don't use
FB.init({ apiKey: 'API_KEY' });
and use
FB.init({ appId: 'APP_ID', status: true, cookie: true, xfbml: true });
To fix it in Opera, just att the following after FB.init():
if($.browser.opera ) // it uses jQuery library here!
{
FB.XD._transport="postmessage";
FB.XD.PostMessage.init();
}
I've been experiencing the same issue in IE9, and it seemed to stem from upgrading to Flash Player 10. I'd lost hope in trying to fix it since finding an open bug at Facebook covering it. But Henson has posted an answer that fixed it for me. In the JavaScript in my site master I removed the lines
FB.UIServer.setLoadedNode = function (a, b) {
//HACK: http://bugs.developers.facebook.net/show_bug.cgi?id=20168
FB.UIServer._loadedNodes[a.id] = b;
};
and now it works. (N.B. I have not checked to see if the IE8 issue those lines were intended to overcome returns.)
