Facebook Connect

Hello,

i have a Problem with Facebook Connect.

FB now requires a Secure Canvas-URL.

Is the only way to setup this to install a ssl server on my webserver?

Thats really hard and complicated :(


Thank you very much

 you dont need an ssl server.

all you need is get a dedicated IP ( most charge $1 to $2 a month) from your host and then get an SSL certificate ($10 a year) and install this on your site and thas all needed, this is not a hard or complicated process.

I have a Windows Root Server and maked my Pages myself by using the Software Zpanel X.

 but the domain with your dolph site will have an IP, if its dedigated then you just need to order an SSL cert for that domain and install if by following the instal instructions that will come with it.

Now i contacted my Server Provider. Hope they help.

Thank you for your help

Regards

Puh god damn it. They charge 199€ for 12 months for ssl zertificate.
Thats a heavy price

 That is only if your using Dolphin as an app, meaning viewing your site through Facebook.

For connect, just need the keys.

Agreed. You do not need to setup the canvas URLs or app namespace.

I provided a video that shows how to setup a facebook app for use with either my facebook connect or the boonex one. It's really easy.

Sound is a bit low, so you may have trouble hearing it. So crank it up. I will do a replacement when i have time.

 that is steep even if it includes a ded IP.  go somewhere like namecheap and get an SLL cert for $10 a year

 Hello,

did it like in the Video.

But get a Redirect Error when clicking on Facebook COnnect in my Boonex.

 
Most likely a missmatch in url.

If your site is not using the www prefix, then you can't use it in the facebook settings either. Or your missing a / on the end.

Did you create a new one, or modify an exiting facebook app?

Sorry, but when i follow those procedures it works perfectly.

I created a new app. Now edited without www.  / on the End of the URL ist set.

THis ist the redirect error

Sorry. I cannot reproduce the problem on my dolphin 7.1 site. So i am unable to help.

Ok in Boonex facebook module setttings there is this

For "Site URL" and "Canvas URL" you should use this URL:
http://www.mydomain.com/modules/?r=facebook_connect/login_form

Is it possible that boonex Facebook connect is different then yours?

i see your facebook login. Think i would like to buy it :) More options

 In 7.1 this is what we have now in the FB connect module. You are using 7.0.9 or below, because that link you provide is from 7.0.9<

Hello ive installed Dolphin 7.1
and a language pack. Yes switched to Englisch now its the right instructions.
But why this isnt working. Dont know why. Any hosting requierments for this?

 It is recommended by me... I own it and only use it.

Like you stated, many more options.

 If so, your module should show as I posted.

If you upgraded from 7.0.9 to 7.1 on your module install page; are all your modules showing version 1.1.0?

This is in Manage modules

Facebook connect version 1.1.0 by Boonex


And when i click Facebook Connect it loads the facebook app
where i must click go to Application and then i get the redirect error.

 why did you post this then?

Because in my language file i bought. There is this old language ley inside.
Switched to englisch and theres the right link inside.

But dont work for me when i setup the facebook connect.

Dont know if there are any apache settings or seomething to set. open ports etc.

For Dolphin everthing is ok in Hosting Tools

Damn it found the bug

in my splashscreen template there is:

     <option value="modules/?r=facebook_connect/login_form"><bx_text:_bx_facebook /></option>
     </select>

what is the new value?

Can someone write me this please?

Thank you

Thats ok. That link has not changed.

Check for server problems. Facebook connect requires curl to properly operate. Try the test script i posted in this topic.

http://www.boonex.com/forums/topic/Test-script-for-curl-fopen-and-gethostbyname.htm

/m/facebook_connect/login_form

Thats for the permalink version. If setting a static link it's best not to use the permalink just in case it gets shut off. Thats why i don't use it for any of my buttons. For buttons and links i always use the non-permalink version of it.

Thanks Deano, learned something new... 

ok cool.

testet both nothing worked for me evertime redirect error :(

 Did you run the test script i posted above to test your server?

Yes result:

Running fopen test
fopen test succeeded.

Running curl test
SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificatecurl test failed.

Running gethostbyname test
gethostbyname test succeeded. IP of graph.facebook.com is 173.252.101.26

That cert error may be part of the problem. Facebook connect talks to facebook via the https protocol using curl. And it is not operating properly because of the certificate.

Thats a hosting issue.

How to fix this?

its on a windows Root server. Ive installed all by myself.

But i saw in the Boonex Facebook Connect App theres the CA from facebook inside.
I read that curl dont accept CAs as default.
but theres one inside.

Thanks in advance

Hi, trying out your script, I'm getting this test result..

Running fopen test

fopen test failed.

Running curl test
curl test suceeded.

Running gethostbyname test
gethostbyname test succeeded. IP of graph.facebook.com is 31.15.99.66

What does it imply with fopen test failed?

Thanks

That script is out of date. Due to a change facebook has made to the test url, that test now always fails. So for now, you ignore it. If fopen was a problem, many other areas in dolphin would not be working.

Go into the host tools section in dolphin. See if any problems show up there.
