Facebook graph FB.login connect dialog, cancel event - javascript

I am using FB.login when user is not connected and everything seems fine, though when user clicks cancel on the fb connect dialog, it closes and I have to raise an event on my page on this cancel event (or at least redirect somewhere when the user hit cancel).
Searched and searched but couldn't find how to raise such event (I've tried to subscribe to "auth.cancel" but it just doesn't work).Any ideas?

When the user cancels the login he is redirected to your page with the following GET parameters:
error_reason=user_denied
error=access_denied
error_description=The+user+denied+your+request.
EDIT:
In JS SDK, as stated here:
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.');
}
});

Facebook Login only showing button

I am checking user login status.
I have used the facebook code that fb has given, but it shows nothing but the login button. I want to check if user is already logged in or not.
function testAPI() {
console.log('Welcome! Fetching your information.... ');
FB.api('/me', function(response) {
console.log('Successful login for: ' + response.name);
document.getElementById('status').innerHTML =
'<br/>Thanks for logging in, ' + response.name + '<br/>User Id: '+ response.id + '<br/>Email Id: '+ response.email + '!';
//window.location.replace('abc.html');
});
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
statusChangeCallback(response);
});
}
Your code is not the same as the facebook code I found published here. It is close but a couple keys differences and things to note. More of your file would be very helpful here. Please make sure that you have recieved and App ID from Facebook for your application and registered it. But to be clear, it seems like you are checking the login status at the wrong time. This is simply a function and we have no idea where it is called or if it mimicks the flow on the link I provided goes like this (even though this is not how they are organized within the code facebook has given). Also the only way you would see something is if you have a HTML text item with id='status'. All of this I cannot tell by your code.
Initialize FB SDK and do all proper setup
User presses login which executes this code:
<fb:login-button scope="public_profile,email" onlogin="checkLoginState();">
</fb:login-button>
The above code gives you the regular scope provided by facebook (to get any more scope you have to go through a request process from facebook, just FYI). As you can see once this button is pressed and the action described as onlogin is complete we will execute the function checkLoginState() which is:
function checkLoginState() {
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
statusChangeCallback(response);
});
}
This gets the logon "state" and then calls the function statusChangeCallback(response) :
function statusChangeCallback(response) {
console.log('statusChangeCallback');
console.log(response);
// The response object is returned with a status field that lets the
// app know the current login status of the person.
// Full docs on the response object can be found in the documentation
// for FB.getLoginStatus().
if (response.status === 'connected') {
// Logged into your app and Facebook.
testAPI();
} else if (response.status === 'not_authorized') {
// The person is logged into Facebook, but not your app.
document.getElementById('status').innerHTML = 'Please log ' +
'into this app.';
} else {
// The person is not logged into Facebook, so we're not sure if
// they are logged into this app or not.
document.getElementById('status').innerHTML = 'Please log ' +
'into Facebook.';
}
}
Now the above code, IF CONNECTED, will call your testAPI() function which will pull down the response. And it will try to find an HTML document with the id status, if you didn't create this it won't display anything.
If you are sure that you did all these steps and did them correctly, then I recommend putting a couple console.log() statements and looking at the Google Chrome console or Javascript console in your browser and seeing what state you are in and that your functions are actually being called.
If you are not sure, please double check the Facebook Login page. It is good documentation.

FB.getLoginStatus doesn't work in Chrome even sandbox disable

I follow railscast to add "sign in with Facebook" feature in my site, there is no problem to login. But when try to logout, it seems that FB.getLoginStatus never got fire even when I disable Sandbox Mode in facebook developer app settings (as suggested in some other discussion):
(function() {
jQuery(function() {
$('body').prepend('<div id="fb-root"></div>');
return $.ajax({
url: "" + window.location.protocol + "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js",
dataType: 'script',
cache: true
});
});
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId: 'xxxxxomittedxxxxx',
cookie: true,
status: true,
xfbml: true,
oauth: true
});
$('#sign_in').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
return FB.login(function(response) {
if (response.authResponse) {
return window.location = '/auth/facebook/callback';
}
});
});
return $('#sign_out').click(function(e) {
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
if (response.authResponse) {
return FB.logout(response.authResponse);
}
});
return true;
});
};
}).call(this);
The reason I know the FB.getLoginStatus never get in (or doesn't work) is I replace the body with:
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
return alert("I am here!");
});
and I cannot see my alert while "sign_out" click.
I am running both Chrome and Firefox having the same behaviour. Could anybody help to spot what am I missing? Thanks a lot.
Let me describe more specific about the "behaviour" I encountered:
sign in with Facebook from mysite.com the first time a Facebook login window will popup and ask for email and password, and I can sign in to my site perfectly ok and work as expected
then I click on sign_out button from mysite.com/users/1, it looks like it sign out ok.
then sign in with Facebook from mysite.com again, now it won't popup the Facebook login window anymore and login to mysite.com/users/1 directly without asking email and password!
if I open another browser window and go to facebook.com and logout from there, then when I sign in with Facebook from mysite.com, it will popup a Facebook login window now and ask for my email and password.
I would like my site to behave: "when logout from mysite.com/users/n and sign in with Facebook again from mysite.com, the Facebook login window shall popup"
Anyone could be of help? Thanks a lot.
EDIT:
Further investigation found the "root" cause might be still: the sign out is under the different route (or page) of the sign in route and FB.getLoginStatus just cannot be fire under the mysite.com/signout. The error message from firebug indicates that "Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration.: One or more of the given URLs is not allowed by the App's settings. It must match the Website URL or Canvas URL, or the domain must be a subdomain of one of the App's domains."
To proof it is the route issue, I put a sign out link in the same route (page) as sign in route which is the root route mysite.com as specified in the "Website with Facebook Login", everything works and can logout as expected:
<%= link_to "sign out facebook", "#" , id: "sign_out" %>
by the way the sign_out js is revised to get rid of FB.logout(response.authResponse) uncaught [object Object] error, because FB.logout expects function as parameter:
return $('#sign_out').click(function(e) {
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
if (response.authResponse) {
FB.logout();
}
}, true);
});
};
So, the bottom line: FB.getLoginStatus might still have a bug which cannot handle the call from a different route than sign in route. (I tested with Chrome, Firefox and Safari and all behave the same but not true for IE10. Somehow IE10 works even sign out at different route.)
Any comment from people who have similar problem? Please advise. Thank you very much in advance.
Try adding true as second parameter to getLoginStatus, as stated in FB dev doc:
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
// this will be called when the roundtrip to Facebook has completed
}, true);
This should avoid caching.
Another option is to subscribe to events:
FB.Event.subscribe('auth.login', function(response) {
// do something with response
});
All from here
Comment if you have questions.
EDIT:
I modified your script a little bit, removed unneeded code parts. You had too many returns that are not needed. I tried sign out within this modified script, it works as you need it.
Events subscription is for check purposes.

Facebook Javascript API sending two requests

In my application I have a function like this one:
getProfile = function() {
FB.api('/me', function(response) {
console.log(response);
});
return false;
};
Which requests the "me" object from the Facebook Graph API over JavaScript, and it works as expected when I attach it to the onClick event of a regular link or call it from the console directly, but when I try to call it from the Facebook log in button:
<fb:login-button onlogin="getProfile()">
Get Profile
</fb:login-button>
I get the expected response only if I am logged out of Facebook and subsequently log in through the dialog; if I click the button while I'm already logged in, I get this:
And if I push the response to the browser:
getProfile = function() {
FB.api('/me', function(response) {
console.log(response);
var
profile = document.getElementById('profile'),
p = document.createElement('p');
p.innerHTML = response.first_name;
profile.appendChild(p);
});
return false;
};
Of course I get two paragraphs with my name in them.
Can anyone spot what I'm doing wrong? So far my Googling has me convinced that this is related to the way the SDK handles log in events (firing on every page load) but I can't figure out how I'm supposed to account for that in the application code.
I believe the onlogin event fires when you load the page because you are logged into Facebook. Then, when your user clicks the button, it also triggers the event. If you're not logged in in the first place, then the onlogin event doesn't fire on load.
UPDATE: to avoid this, simply don't hook the getProfile to the onlogin event except inside an if statement based on the FB.getLoginStatus method http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/FB.getLoginStatus/ Simply put, if you're logged in, don't attach an onlogin event, otherwise do an FB.Event.subscribe http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/FB.Event.subscribe/ on the onlogin event and your method will run whenever the user logs in through your XFBML-generated login button.
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
if (response.status === 'connected') {
//print the response data into the paragraph here
} else if (response.status === 'not_authorized') {
// the user is logged in to Facebook,
// but has not authenticated your app
FB.event.subscribe( 'auth.login', function(){
getProfile();
});
} else {
// the user isn't logged in to Facebook.
}
});

Auto Login Facebook User After Accepting Permissions

I'm trying to login users automatically into my site who have already allowed our facebook app, initially I was going to use :
var cb = function(response) {
if (response.status === 'connected') {
FB.api('/me', function(response) {
$.post( url, { 'op':'facebook','name':response['name'],'id':response['id'],'email':response['email']},
function( data ) {
parent.location.reload();
});
});
} else {
alert('You are not logged in');
}
};
FB.login(cb, { scope: 'publish_actions,publish_stream,read_stream,email' });
Although using that it opens a facebook popup, blocked by many popup blockers and browsers when done in an automatic manner like this and will also display for users who have no allowed our app.
I want it to be done descretely but I'm not sure how :S
If anyone could show me how to log them in using javascript that would be great :)
Prompting a user to login should be hinged off of a user generated event, like clicking on an element. Most browsers will block attempts to automatically open new windows unless there is enough confidence that the user has requested the action.
If you want to automatically detect a visitor's login status when they load your page, you should hook onto the various auth events exposed by the Javascript SDK ("auth.authResponseChange", "auth.login", etc), or manually request the visitor's status using the "FB.getLoginStatus" method. You can read more about these events at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/FB.getLoginStatus/
Managed to get it working! Read the facebook tutorial again and this is what I came up with
window.onload=function(){
var url = "http://mysite.com/";
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
if (response.status === 'connected') {
FB.api('/me', function(response) {
$.post( url, { 'op':'facebook','name':response['name'],'id':response['id'],'email':response['email']},
function( data ) {
parent.location.reload();
});
});
}
});
};

Facebook javascript login window

Using Javascript SDK for Facebook, you can do a
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: 'email'});
My problem is that by using this, it opens a popup window, which some of the browsers kills it. How can I do this in another way? and inside div? or an overlay something.
Thanks.
You should only call FB.login, or any method which prompts a pop up, as a direct result of the user clicking something. Then the pop ups will not be blocked. If you try to run it on page load or at a random time, it will be blocked.
I'm sorry, you can only do it in whatever way the FB api will let you do it.
You could try reverse-engineering its mechanism, but it'll break as soon as facebook changes anything in its platform.
