Really stuggling with Removing Vertical Scroll bar from custom fan page tab - facebook

So I've been scouring the internet for solutions to remove the scroll bar from my custom tab page on my company's facebook page. Granted, I'm not programmer and figured out how to build this thing yesterday, but would really like fix to this. It seems like there are a ton of solutions to the old format the FB app developer but nothing with the new version.\
I've been attempted to implement a bunch of the canvas size scripts that I have found but either they don't or my page refuses to load.

Here is a sample of how i resize my tabs using OAuth 2.0 and new javascript sdk.

If you are using % to set with they need to be under 100% at about 98% - 96% because of a margin in the frame.
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : '135669679827333',
status : true, // check login status
cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session
xfbml : true, // parse XFBML
//channelUrl : 'http://WWW.MYDOMAIN.COM/channel.html', // channel.html file
oauth : true // enable OAuth 2.0
});
//FB.Canvas.setAutoResize(); depreceated
FB.Canvas.setAutoGrow(1000);
};
(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);
}());
</script>

to fix the height issue, load the js sdk and set the canvas size
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js"></script>
<script>
FB.init({
appId : '123456789',
status : false, // check login status
cookie : false, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session
xfbml : false // parse XFBML
});
FB.Canvas.setSize({ width: 500, height: 1000 });
</script>
test and see what values fit your need

I think there is a bug with FB.Canvas's size methods on iframe tabs. Height is set properly but scrolls are still there. Only workaround in my case is combination of FB.Canvas.SetAutoResize() + styling 'body' with overflow: hidden.

You need to do this:
Go to your app (https://developers.facebook.com/apps/)
Click 'Edit Settings' on the app in question.
Go to: Settings -> Advanced -> Canvas Settings -> Canvas Height -> select 'Auto-Resize'.
If you still get problems the other suggestions here should help by doing something like...
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({appId: '12345', status: true, cookie: true, xfbml: true});
window.setTimeout(function() {
FB.Canvas.setAutoResize();
}, 1000);
};
(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);
}());
</script>
Here I set your page height to 1000 -> change this to your page height and I set your app ID to 12345 -> change this to your app id.
I hope this works for you.

fb:login-button not showing up in Firefox, IE, or Opera - but works fine in Chrome

This seemed to happen without any changes on my part. Suddenly any browser but Chrome was not processing the fb:login-button tag, it's just showing any text within the tag as plain text.
After scouring the net for hours, looking for possible causes/solutions, I've found nothing that addresses this particular behavior.
So, I've created the most basic example I could to illustrate the problem, and put it up here:
http://silverbucket.net/examples/fblogin/welcome.htm
The above example shows a fb-login box in Chrome, but not in Firefox, IE, or Opera.
In summary, what is in the page in the above link, first there's the html tag at the top I have:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml" xmlns:og="http://opengraphprotocol.org/schema/" lang="en">
In the head I have:
<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js"></script>
In the body, just below the header I have:
<div id="fb-root"></div>
Then there's the actual fb-login-button:
<fb:login-button scope="email, user_interests, user_likes, publish_stream">log in with facebook</fb:login-button>
And, at the bottom of the page, just before the closing of the body tag, I have the FB JavaScript:
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : '153787078069017',
cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session
xfbml : true, // parse XFBML
//channelUrl : '/channel.html', // channel.html file
oauth : true, // enable OAuth 2.0
status : false
});
// whenever the user logs in, we refresh the page
FB.Event.subscribe('auth.login', function(response) {
if (response.authResponse) {
window.location.href="http://example.com/fblogin";
}
});
};
(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);
}());
});
</script>
Nothing complicated... and it's not just happening on my Firefox, but every colleague I've checked with as well.
I would suggest moving window.fbAsyncInit = function() { to outside of the $(document).ready(function() {. This should give more consistent results browser to browser.
This is a shot in the dark, but try adding your fb-root div before the actual code including the login button if this is possible.
That has solved some of the fb quirks I've faced before.

How to load javascript facebook api SYNCHRONOUSLY ...?

I want to load facebook api ( javascript SDK) synchronously. I have seen this code on facebook developers.
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script src="//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js"></script>
<script>
FB.init({
appId : 'YOUR_APP_ID',
channelUrl : '//WWW.YOUR_DOMAIN.COM/channel.html', // Channel File
status : true, // check login status
cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session
xfbml : true // parse XFBML
});
</script>
and also on reference to another link
http://www.masteringapi.com/tutorials/facebook-javascript-sdk-best-practices/58/
is is mentioned that "But you need to make sure you don’t define FB in your own JS code or libraries!"...............
I am confused ....!
Please help me....
What you are doing looks fine.
The instruction that you've seen, "But you need to make sure you don’t define FB in your own JS code or libraries!" is simply a warning to not declare a variable named FB in your application, or you will hide the Facebook SDK.
In your code, on the very next line, you could begin making calls with FB.api or any of the other methods.
Does that help?
Add the below code after opening html tag
<div id="fb-root">
</div>
<script>
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId: 'Your APP ID',
status: true, // check login status
cookie: true, // enable cookies to allow server to access session
xfbml: true, // parse XFBML
oauth: 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);
} ());
</script>
This code will load the javascript SDK asynchronously.

Apprequests from a Website

Is there any way to send apprequests if your application is a website?
I reported a bug on facebook http://developers.facebook.com/bugs/182553325173000 but I do not know if this is possible or not
yes you can do this by adding the JS API,
before <body> add:
<script type="text/javascript">
function inviteFriends(){
var receiverUserIds = FB.ui({
method : 'apprequests',
message: 'YOUR CUSTOM MESSAGE',
},
function(receiverUserIds) {
console.log("IDS : " + receiverUserIds.request_ids);
}
);
}
</script>
after the <body> include the API (asynchronous method):
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : 'YOUR APP ID',
status : true, // check login status
cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session
xfbml : true, // parse XFBML
oauth : true //enables OAuth 2.0
});
};
(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);
}());
</script>
and call it:
or
You can do that with the Javascript SDK
it is in the documentation:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/requests/
It's possible, as the other answers have shown, but the user will be brought to your canvas app when they accept the requests

facebook fb:login-button for mobile web

I'm trying to fb:login-button work for mobile web, a la: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/mobile/
However, I'm not sure where to add this code: &display=touch
My FBML is the standard:
<fb:login-button autologoutlink='true' perms='user_about_me,email'></fb:login-button>
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({ appId: 'XXXXXXX', status: true, cookie: true, xfbml: true });
FB.Event.subscribe('auth.login', function() {
location.href = "....";
});
};
(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);
} ());
</script>
Any ideas?
I'm pretty certain you're not able to use the FBML tags for mobile web applications. At least, they won't accept the display=touch argument.
It means you'll need to use the slightly more complex OAuth implementation that they describe on http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/mobile/
It kinda makes sense if you think about it. The FBML tags generally rely on popups or overlays, which you can't really be certain will be compatible with all mobile browsers. The OAuth implementation takes you off to a FB page and returns you back to your host site for authentication and authorisation.

integrated facebook facepile need

I am working on project, it needs facepile (plugin of facebook) in index page,
how can I do it?
you need to get an appID from facebook developers site. (http://developers.facebook.com/setup/)
then..
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({appId: 'YOUR APP ID HERE', status: true, cookie: true,
xfbml: true});
};
(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);
}());
</script>
THEN...
place this into your page:
<fb:friendpile width="210"></fb:friendpile>
or whatever feature you need.
try this link for more: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/
Is this showing the Facepile of a page or the user himself (me)?
I tried your code but it always shows a login frame also if I'm already logged in to Facebook.
My target is to have a list of Fans and posts of a specific page for my website.
