Facebook connect - failed

At dolphin 7.2.

 

Connect facebook seems that dolphin 7.2 didn't pick up users name, email, locations into new members profile.

 

In the facebook mods, admin panel. I changed the redirect page from "join" to "index" 

 

People who pressed facebook to enter

 

First time user,  went in,  but there's no user's name, email address, location, birthdays, nothing in profile but I only see member's photo avatars.

 

I had to delete users, they were 100% empty profiles, nothing but photo avatars.  Redirect to join page is fine, but not like this for facebook people who wish to join dolphin. They don't bothered filling up their names, email, birthday etc.

 

See photo attach from the facebook developers,  I have the approved list, but dolphin did not collect info.

 

Connect with facebook is a BUG.  Am I right?

 

Thanks,

Paul.

I have exactly the same problem. everyone who tried to join with facebook connect just have their avatar from their Facebook and the rest of their info is empty. I created many FB apps but never had a problem till now. Anyone?

I do not think that the Facebook Connect pulls in that info from Facebook. I am using the Facebook Connect and have the Join page as the redrect page - that way they can fill in the needed information. I am using 7.2

I also have this problem, I am wondering if facebook has changed their field names because as I see its still trying to draw this information its just not getting a response. I have had to discontinue the plans to open up facebook signins as its impossible to administrate and I have been told to buy some addons but we dont have the funds to do so.

 

Is there a bug report system here to inform the developers of problems with the modules or are the modules designed out of house and added to the package before deployment?

FB changed the API for newly registerd apps, but in that case you also should not have a valid email and other info. A client of mine run in to this issue and I had to modify the API calls to get the correct info. At the time I was already amazed that no one else had run in to this issue.

That's not the official demo, and doesn't look to be setup for Facebook Connect. demo.boonex.com has been updated and has Facebook Connect setup from the looks of it. Please try there and see if it works. If not, I'll write-up an issue on GitHub.

My problem solved. My website address is  mywebsite.com but in the app I saved it as www.mywebsite.com so it was creating trouble. After saving it as mywebsite.com in the app it is now working perfectly.

Wonder if this would fix everyone else's problem with it?

 As I am glad that it solved your problem , for me still I get the empty fields . the URL name depends on server settings  try to type your URL without www and check to see on the top of the browser if it appears with www then you have to use your URL with WWW. However this doesn't seem like solving my problem. I don't think anyone else here with the same empty fields can solve this with changing the URL in the APP.

 Nathan, I tried the demo.boonex.com and got the same results . all the fields are empty with Facebook connect. I think you have to get in touch with GitHub.

Facebook connect has become quite useless now anyway. There is a bug in facebook connect, but i tested it on the boonex demo site, and it set my email and gender just fine and well as the nickname. Only thing it missed was full name. And the reason for that is dolphin 7.2 no longer uses the FirstName and LastName fields. They replaced it with a FullName field which the current version of facebook connect does not populate. So the full name bug is the only one i see that boonex needs to fix. The rest of the module worked just fine for me.

Here is the big issue tho and why facebook connect has become useless in my opinion.

Facebook now requires you obtain approval from them before you can use any scopes other than public_profile, email and user_friends.

The public_profile permission only returns these fields.

    id
    name
    first_name
    last_name
    age_range
    link
    gender
    locale
    timezone
    updated_time
    verified

Out of those, the only ones that dolphin can use are Name, first_name, last_name, gender and locale. Which makes for a pretty incomplete profile.

Facebooks new API and their new requirements makes facebook connect kinda useless now.

Question to all who are facing this issue. Are you using Apache webserver?  Cause demo.boonex.com is on nginx and it is working fine.

Yes, apache ! And https !

Ok, Thanks for your feedbacks!!!

 

I prefer to stay on https.   

 

hmm, for my wish list as if the facebook_connect can run https through, because other than dolphin does have the https with fb connect, but why not this dolphin. 

 

By the way, I'll keep an eye on https://github.com/boonex/dolphin.pro  for any latest updates.

 

Cheers,

PJ.

 

 P.S I only started with dolphin 7.2 not 7.1  etc.

And I mention to this,  when anyone pressed fb to connect, if they are new, let them choose a username in the facebook-join page.   I think adding a facebook-join page similar to a join page.

 

That will be two join pages in the admin panel.  (Builders > Profile Fields>

Downloaded Dolphin master from git,    overwritten, ( after small edit ensure important files are not overwritten). 

 

Uninstalled FB mod,  installed.   update API keys from FB developers. 

 

Then guess what,  It's working!  

 

Thanks AlexT.    

 

members joined went skyrocket!!!!    

 

Bug fixed.   

 

This case is now closed. :)

 

Regards,

Paul.
