Question

sfFacebookConnectPlugin: Authentication problem

Answer 1

A:

It says on the plugin page that this plugin is only supported/stable up to Symfony 1.2. Might make sense to email the plugin author directly regarding 1.4 compatibility.

Yes I recognized it and it is very confusing, but the tutorial I was talking about is for Symfony 1.4 so it should be compatible.

Wondering if there are so few developers using this Plugin (or have problems with it) :-/

Might be because it says 1.2 on the main page. Any newcomers to Symfony would start with 1.4 and lots of people are already waiting for 2.0.

Answer 2

A:

I found that page: http://burgiblog.com/2009/09/18/developing-facebook-applications-with-symfony/ now it works, I changed three things after reading the tutorial:

modules/sfFacebookConnectAuth/config/security.yml: Use "false" instead of "off"
I added "callback_url" in apps/frontend/config/app.yml
And I used the facebook action in the tutorial

I need to find out, what the problem exactly was. And I need to enhance some things to the plugin. E.g. saving the user data to my profile class etc. (Now I saves a cryptic username instead of the right FB username.)

Answer 3

A:

Hi,

I'm having some problems with sfFacebookConnectPlugin. I tried replicating the simple example from http://burgiblog.com/2009/09/18/developing-facebook-applications-with-symfony/ . And calling the index page, I get redirected to the facebook authentication page but after logging in, I do not get redirected back. I stay logged into facebook only. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

This is my code:

[/frontend/config/app.yml]

# default values
all:
  facebook:
    api_key: xxx
    api_secret: xxx
    api_id: xxx
    callback_url: 'http://localhost'
    redirect_after_connect: false
    redirect_after_connect_url: ''
    connect_signin_url: 'sfFacebookConnectAuth/signin'
    app_url: '/my-app'
    guard_adapter: ~
    js_framework: none # none, jQuery or prototype.

  # It is highly recommended to use a js framework if you want a correct experience in IE

  sf_guard_plugin:
    profile_class: sfGuardUserProfile
    profile_field_name: user_id
    profile_facebook_uid_name: facebook_uid # WARNING this column must be of type bigint ! 100000398093902 is a valid uid for example !
    profile_email_name: email
    profile_email_hash_name: email_hash

  facebook_connect:
    load_routing:     true
    user_permissions: []

Your callback URL must be reachable from outside. Localhost won't work at all. Upload your code to a server, and change the callback URL.
