I have a difficult problem. Difficult means I searched through the net and StackOverflow as well the whole FBJS SDK documentation and haven't find answer.
I am building a Page Tab application where I'd like to let fans to rsvp events. So I have to check if the user is logged in and if it doesn't I have to login. That sounds pretty easy, but FB.getLoginStatus doesn't fires callback function. This is the code excerpt:
FB.init({
appId: window.appID,
status: true,
xfbml: true,
cookie: true,
oauth: true,
channelUrl: 'http://example.com/fb/channel.html'
});
and then I simply - of course after the user clicks on a button - call FB.getLoginStatus, but it seems it doesn't do anything.
I've already checked sandbox mode, FB.init success, URLs in application settings and developing environment. I can call FB.ui, although FB.ui with method: 'oauth' I get an error message saying " The "redirect_uri" parameter cannot be used in conjunction with the "next" parameter, which is deprecated.". Which is very weird because I didn't used "next" parameter. But when I set next to undefined, it works fine, I get the window, but it says "Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration.". Expect from that, I can login, then I've got the access_token. But in the new window, getLoginStatus still doesn't do anything.
So any advices are welcome.
Thanks, Tamas
UPDATE:
function onBodyLoad() { //on body onload
FB.init({
appId: window.appID,
status: true,
xfbml: true,
cookie: true,
oauth: true,
channelUrl: 'http://example.com/fb/channel.html'
});
}
...
function getName() { // on button onclick
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response){
if (response.authResponse)
{
window.loggedIn = true;
debugString('Logged in');
} else
{
window.loggedIn=false;
debugString('Not logged in');
}
}, true);
if (window.loggedIn === undefined) {
debugString('getLoginStatus did not exec'); // I always get this message
}
}
UPDATE 2: I created a new App on a different URL, which is configured as a standalone website. There these codes work perfectly, I can getLoginStatus, I can login, etc. Is there any difference working in the context of FB, and in a standalone website, using FB JavaScript SDK?
FB.getLoginStatus
does not fire the callback when you are running the website on a different domain than the one that you registered the app with. I usually find myself in this situation when I am developing locally or on a staging server.
For example, if you registered the site with example.com and your staging server is example.mystagingserver.com, the callback wont fire. In this case, you need to create a second application in Facebook and use the Application ID and Secret for the new app.
