rails facebook connect and new application settings editor

Question

Hi Everyone, until lately my application was working great with facebook connect.

When you click on the "login with facebook" button the popup shows up, and clicking allow does half it's job: Facebook connects to my secret controller that I set up in the Post-Authorize Callback URL but instead of closing the popup and redirecting the user to the homepage it shows the website in the popup. The url also looks weird, it includes a lot of vars in the url

http://dev2.mysite.com/?perms=email,user_birthday,user_location,read_friendlists&selected_profiles=.....&installed=1&session={%22session_key%22:%222.ngQ0..............2A_.3600.1283803200-573147092%22,%22uid%22:3.......3,%22expires%22:1283803200,%22secret%22:%22bMse.......sQ_%22,%22sig%22:%22f7446..........fafdfbeda%22}

I tried everything but nothing's working.

I also checked that the xd_receiver is still present

Also, all the tutorials I've looked through are talking about a connect tab, and a connect url field but none are available anymore. When I go to my application settings I only have a facebook integration tab with the following fields:

post authorize url: http://dev2.mysite.com/secret_controller_for_fb/

Post-Authorize Redirect: http://dev2.mysite.com/

and canvas url: http://dev2.42pix.com/

Any help would be very appreciated! Thank you

Answer 1

After digging around I found something interesting:

First I'm not alone

The example available at this page: http://big-glow-mama.heroku.com/ (git: http://github.com/holden/authlogic_openid_selector_example) suffers from the problem

Also, Whenn I change the onlogin value to: "document.location.href=document.location.href;"

The popup closes, refreshes the background but does not login the user. I then need to click on the login button again to get logged in.

If any one has an idea, I'd love to hear from you!

Answer 2

And finally, I found something else, the facebook connect button works well if you don't request any extended permissions otherwise it fails!

Answer 3

Nothing helpful to offer Julien except that I am also seeing this same issue today. If I don't ask for extended permissions everything is fine. Must be some bug at the facebook end mustn't it?

Answer 4

Clearing just my cookies doesn't help, but clearing my whole browser history makes this work again. Once.

Answer 5

I moved to Oauth2 and everything looks fine now.
