Facebook (FB.login) not requesting my permissions - facebook

Question

so after updating to the php 3.0 sdk and what not, my FB.login() function no longer asks for the permissions I set it to ask. Any one else getting this? Here's some code for you:
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId: 'xxx',
status: true,
cookie: true,
xfbml: true,
oauth : true // enables OAuth 2.0
});
// whenever the user logs in, we refresh the page
//FB.Event.subscribe('auth.login', function() {
// window.location.reload();
//});
};
FB.login(function(response) {
if (response.authResponse) {
console.log('Welcome! Fetching your information.... ');
FB.api('/me', function(response) {
console.log('Good to see you, ' + response.name + '.');
FB.logout(function(response) {
console.log('Logged out.');
});
});
} else {
console.log('User cancelled login or did not fully authorize.');
}
}, {scope:'read_stream,publish_stream,offline_access'});
The way I'm trying to access it, is through an onClick="FB.login();". Can anyone help?

Answer 1

Checking the source of the JS SDK I found that they still use perms and not scope as it it documented.
This is working for me:
...onclick="FB.login(handleLoginResponse,
{perms:'email,manage_pages,user_birthday'});return false;"...
I hope it helps.

I see something related to this with the JS SDK. When setting oauth=true, the function
FB.login(function (response) {
if (response.authResponse) {
console.log('Welcome! Fetching your information.... ');
} else {
console.log('User cancelled login or did not fully authorize.');
}
}, { scope: 'email,publish_stream,user_birthday,user_location' });
Correctly requests the extended permissions, but using the <fb:login-button> FBXML with scope="email,publish_stream,user_birthday,user_location" does not.
This looks like a Facebook bug to me...

Answer 3

My problem was similar to you.
I have checked all my javascript to verify if my scope was good in FB.login definition.
Finally I realized that I have a Facebook button in my HTML.
<form class="form-signin"><fb:login-button size="large">Facebook</fb:login-button></form>
When I have also defined the scope in the FB Button, Facebook ask me correcty to accept new permissions if I change my scope
<form class="form-signin"><fb:login-button size="large" scope="<?php print($sFacebookScope);?>">Facebook</fb:login-button></form>

I think its because you are calling FB.logout within the FB.login block.
Effectively what happens is as soon as they log in, they are logged out.
So seperate it like this:
// CALLED WHEN USER LOGS IN
function userLogin() {
FB.login(function(response) {
if (response.authResponse) {
console.log('Welcome! Fetching your information.... ');
FB.api('/me', function(response) {
console.log('Good to see you, ' + response.name + '.');
});
} else {
console.log('User cancelled login or did not fully authorize.');
}
}, {scope:'read_stream,publish_stream,offline_access'});
}
// CALLED WHEN USER LOGS OUT
function userLogout() {
FB.logout(function(response) {
console.log('Logged out.');
});
}

I had exactly the same problem until I realized that it was a matter of browser/facebook caching problem. Make sure you have the latest code in your webspace and test your app in a new browser if might be the solution of your problem.

Answer 6

The only solution that has worked for me was putting the permissions in the login button tag like this:
<fb:login-button show-faces="true" width="200" max-rows="1" data-scope="email">< /fb:login-button>
