I am building an Facebook IFrame App. I am using the below javascript code to request user to login and allow permissions for the application, after which they are supposed
Thanks for your answers. I used the solution posted by McKAMEY(Facebook API: FB.Connect.requireSession issues) with few changes, and it works as intended, without showing the intermediate facebook icon page, and also it redirects after authentication to the iframe app correctly.
I have posted below the working solution in case someone needs it.
var api_key = 'xxxxxxxxxxxx';
var channel_path = './xd_receiver.htm';
var canvas_url = "http://apps.facebook.com/myappxxxx/"// ensure your canvasurl has a '/' at the end!
function Initialize() {
FB_RequireFeatures(["Api"], function () {
FB.Facebook.init(api_key, channel_path);
FB.ensureInit(function () {
FB.Connect.ifUserConnected(
function () {
var uid = FB.Connect.get_loggedInUser();
if (!uid) {
authRedirect();
return;
}
},
authRedirect);
});
});
}
function authRedirect() {
//This is the Sample URL Structure for redirecting to facebook
//http://www.facebook.com/connect/uiserver.php?
//app_id=XXXXXXXXXXXXX&
//next=xxxxxxxxxx_success_url_here_XXXXXXX&
//display=page&
//perms=XXXXXX_comma_seperated_permissions_list_hereXXXXXX&
//fbconnect=1&
//method=permissions.request
window.top.location.href = "http://www.facebook.com/connect/uiserver.php?app_id=" + encodeURIComponent(api_key) + "&next=" + encodeURIComponent(canvas_url) + "&display=page&perms=publish_stream&fbconnect=1&method=permissions.request";
}
Initialize();
