Facebook Connect not working in 7.0.2

FB Connect either turned out to be an infinite loop or directed users to facebook.com.

Tested on Demozzz.com too.

This actually has nothing to do with 7.0.2.

I still have a 7.0.0 site and it also does not work with either my FBC module or the Boonex version.

Facebook connect worked yesterday. But not today. Facebook themselves must have made another one of their security changes that has caused this problem.

It is my belief that all facebook connect modules for any software(not just dolphin) that use the connection methods that were used prior to the new facebook connect API release are affected by this.

After further testing i have found that the old api methods to connect to facebook are not working, but the connect methods used in the new API do work.

It appears facebook as obsoleted the old API calls.


This still could be a temporary problem that facebook will correct, so i could be wrong about the obsoletion of the older API calls.

Here's a module that is working properly with the upgraded api's:

I know, but no thanks.

So, what can be done to get Facebook Connect working again ... and please don't try to sell me anything. Thanks

Nothing at the moment. If facebook has truly obsoleted the old API calls, them the facebook connect module will have to be re-written to use the new API. And that will take time for boonex to do. So all that can be done is to wait.

Sorry, wasn't try to sell anything, just making the offer in case you didn't know about it.

Hello people... somebody knows if solving this is taking long ??

By the way ... I use facebook connect in some other sites and there are no problems there ... no obsolete scripts coming from facebook. There are different versions, but they all work .....

My facebook connect is still not working.  I tried changing the secret key a few times but still no luck.

Is anybody else still having problems with this?  Anybody have the solution.

Do I need to delete my application and make another one?

Deano... if yours is working then I think I will just buy yours.  I would gladly pay 10 bucks to solve this problem.

Plus, sounds like yours has quite a few extra features.

My latest version 3 is working. Just updated the old one in the market yesterday.

If you have a facebook account you can test on my site here. http://www.deanbassett.com

Hello, facebook updated their API ! We already updated our facebook connect too! you'll can download updated module from repository or wait before dolphin 7.0.3 is comming

SashaE,

where can I access the repository to download just this module ? Is it packed at the new 7.0.2 zip download ?

The modules are not packed in individual zip files, so it will not be as easy as that.

The files are located in a svn repository located here. http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/browser/trunk/modules/boonex/facebook_connect

You will need to uninstall the current facebook connect and then replace the files in modules/boonex/facebook_connect with the ones from the SVN.

Hi,

I just download the files and replace with the files on my server using ftp now when i'm trying to load the Modules page from the admin, im getting a broke page with this error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /chroot/home/domname/domainame.com/html/modules/boonex/facebook_connect/install/config.php:6) in /chroot/home/domname/domainame.com/html/inc/admin_design.inc.php on line 56

Headers already set error messages are generally caused by garbage characters at the end of the file.

Open modules/boonex/facebook_connect/install/config.php which is one of the files listed in your error.

Make sure it clean. No white space at the end of the file after the ?> closing php tag.

I reupload the backup I have and now it displays properly, but how can I update this module/files?

I explained the cause. Check the files for extra whitespace. Or try uploading via ftp in binary mode. Or some ftp clients will clean the file when uploaded in ascii. So try both.

Thank you deano92964,

I double checked all the files and I upload everything again and now it worked :) thanks for your help ;)

One more questions, what can I do in order to have the email on my database when the user sign up with facebook connect module? I just tested with my own account and It grabed some information but not the email, should I modify or edit something on the module/facebook?

Thanks again

Seems here is a working solution. But can you plz tell me how I can download the files from the  svn repository located here. http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/browser/trunk/modules/boonex/facebook_connect

I can't find any link or system to download those files there.

Thanx in advance.

hello the first you'll need install svn client and downloaded current version of dolphin. i don't remember all access details of connect, but you can find it somewhere of unity's topic

Hello guy's

I have the same problem here and i can't really to manage downloading the solution !

Please i need a help here or even someone to sort it out for me if that possible .

Thanks .

Eli

i opend a disput agintst matinboi and i will post this also
yes he writ that he give me money back if i not happy with this mod and post it here for everybody to think that i just attacked him for no rezone but in the mail he sends me this:

I would've been happy to refund you if you talked to me about it before posting terrible reviews like that. Now I'm afraid that's not possible.

Sorry about the inconvenience.
Troy
and took the produces from my cart this not a way to treat customers
i never said that the mod is not good i just explain the service
and most of all he say that its an open license but the file are encoded so you cant change them so if you need modification you have to pay him and then he puts it as an update and make more money on your back
try to rezone with him opened a dispute in forum with all mails

http://www.boonex.com/unity/forums/?action=goto&index=1#topic/3rd-party-mods-provider-abuse.htm

but because he took the moods from my cart (intentionally) and he lied that he will be happy to give my money back and dident give 3 day trail as promised in description(now changed) so im not gonna respect my obligation either!

so to cut my loses im resealing this mod for 10$ (contact me at osem07@gmail.com)
till i get my money from him for abusing and wasting my time and money

you should learn that nobody have to lose ther money and time just that you can make money.

and now i see that to post a comment on a product you have to buy it so my first post is a proof of buying that product and now i cant post there cuase he took it out from my cart shame on you for that i add the rpx facebook integration for the same price (as is no support but the files are not encoded)
2 of martin mod for just 10$
nice to do business with you mr. Troy

i have just used a new facebook_connect from svn and installed it on my site ( http://friends.smansakra.sch.id ), it works perfect, but my facebook pic is not displayed when i successfully login. it's just displayed the default gray man pic.
