i have created a page tab app for which i have set all the parameters under Auth Dialog in the app settings.
Now when i send a friend request through my app, and my friend clicks on the app request, he is able to see the authentication box describing the app and the permissions requested etc.
But if anyone visits my page on which i have added the app, and clicks on the app from there, it directly takes the user to the page tab without displaying the auth box.
Is this how it is supposed to work from a page? is it possible to display the auth box for a user coming to the app from a page?
Secondly, i have added a multi friend selector which opens by default in a popup as it is supposed to.
Is it possible to display it in the page itself instead of a popup?
I tried adding the display: 'page' option but it din work.
I have used the same code from : https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/requests/
...
<body>
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<p>
<input type="button"
onclick="sendRequestToRecipients(); return false;"
value="Send Request to Users Directly" />
<input type="text" value="User ID" name="user_ids" />
</p>
<p>
<input type="button"
onclick="sendRequestViaMultiFriendSelector(); return false;"
value="Send Request to Many Users with MFS" />
</p>
<script>
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : XXXXXXXXXXX,
status : true,
cookie : true,
xfbml : true,
oauth : true,
});
};
(function(d){
var js, id = 'facebook-jssdk';
if (d.getElementById(id)) {
return;
}
js = d.createElement('script');
js.id = id;
js.async = true;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js";
d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(js);
}(document));
</script>
<script>
function sendRequestToRecipients() {
var user_ids = document.getElementsByName("user_ids")[0].value;
FB.ui({method: 'apprequests',
message: 'My Great Request',
to: user_ids,
}, requestCallback);
}
function sendRequestViaMultiFriendSelector() {
FB.ui({method: 'apprequests',
message: 'My Great Request'
}, requestCallback);
}
function requestCallback(response) {
// Handle callback here
}
</script>
...
Any help in this regard would be very much appreciated.
Is this how it is supposed to work from a page?
Yes. Authenticated referrals don’t work when the app is accessed from a page directly.
is it possible to display the auth box for a user coming to the app from a page?
Of course – analyze the signed_request parameter, and react accordingly (meaning, display the auth dialog yourself, server- or client-side).

I'm trying to build a Google signin button into my website. I'm trying to avoid using their built-in button. The code below works to sign in a user, but I can't figure out how to make my webpage remember that they're signed in when the user refreshes the page, or leaves the site and comes back.
Using Chrome's developer tools, I can see that there's an entry for https://accounts.google.com under both Local Storage and Session Storage. They seem to more or less contain the same information, including the user's validated token.
What I don't understand is how to get the gapi.auth2.init() function to recognize and use this token. The documentation doesn't seem to cover it.
<html>
<head>
<title>Login Test</title>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.4.js"></script>
<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/platform.js?onload=renderButton" async defer></script>
</head>
<script>
var googleUser = {};
function renderButton() {
gapi.load('auth2', function(){
auth2 = gapi.auth2.init({
client_id: 'MY_CREDENTIALS.apps.googleusercontent.com',
});
attachSignin(document.getElementById('customBtn'));
});
};
function attachSignin(element) {
auth2.attachClickHandler(element, {},
function(googleUser) {
document.getElementById('name').innerText = "Signed in: " +
googleUser.getBasicProfile().getName();
}, function(error) {
alert(JSON.stringify(error, undefined, 2));
}
);
}
</script>
<body>
<div id="gSignInWrapper">
<span class="label">Sign in with:</span>
<input type="button" id="customBtn" value="Google"></input>
</div>
<p id="name"></p>
</body>
</html>
You can use listeners. This is the relevant part:
// Listen for sign-in state changes.
auth2.isSignedIn.listen(signinChanged);
// Listen for changes to current user.
auth2.currentUser.listen(userChanged);
You can also get up to date values by
var isSignedIn = auth2.isSignedIn.get();
var currentUser = auth2.currentUser.get();
To strictly detect returning users only you can do:
var auth2 = gapi.auth2.init(CONFIG);
auth2.then(function() {
// at this point initial authentication is done.
var currentUser = auth2.currentUser.get();
});
When it comes to your code I would do:
auth2 = gapi.auth2.init(CONFIG);
auth2.currentUser.listen(onUserChange);
auth2.attachClickHandler(element, {});
This way all changes in sign-in state are passed to onUserChange (this includes returning users, new sign-ins from attachClickHandler, new sign-ins from different tab).

Question 1: It always fails with "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'load' of undefined",
until I use
<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/client:plusone.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
instead of the example code:
<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
What's the difference between plusone.js and client:plusone.js ?
Question 2: Why the code run twice per page loads ?
Qestion 3: the user was logged out after he just signed in, how to fix ?
error demo page for the above (all the errors are in the background console).
This is not really an answer to the question, but a step by step procedure to reproduce it.
Below the simple html page I'm using to test (similar to the example from Ray C Lin).
I've made it as simple as possible to avoid interactions with other part of the code :
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.1.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" id="signOut" value="Sign out"></button>

<span class="g-signin"
data-accesstype="offline"
data-callback="signinCallback"
data-clientid="YOUR_CLIENT_ID_HERE"
data-cookiepolicy="single_host_origin"
data-scope="email"
</span>
</span>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#signOut').on('click', function() {
gapi.auth.signOut();
});
function signinCallback(authResult) {
console.log("signinCallback: ", authResult);
}
(function() {
var po = document.createElement('script');
po.type = 'text/javascript';
po.async = true;
po.src = 'https://apis.google.com/js/client:plusone.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
s.parentNode.insertBefore(po, s);
})();
</script>
</body>

You will have to update data-clientid with your own google client id, and display this page from an authorized javascript origin.
Please note that this might not work from localhost, as Ian suggested in a comment to this post https://plus.google.com/102746521318753162868/posts/Z5Gkro9YXVs
First, sign in using your Google account : you will see a successful callback in the console.
If you click on Sign out, you will see a callback with 'user_signed_out' in the console.
So far so good.
Sign-in again, and wait 1 hour, until the token expires (this is awful to test, as I don't know how to reduced the token lifetime).
After one hour, click on the sign out button : no callback is called.
Click on the sign-in button again :
you get a successfull callback with an authorization code and access token
immediately after, you get a 'user_signed_out' callback.
Once a session has expired, there is no way to return to a "normal" situation, you always get this second callback with 'user_signed_out'.
Actually, there is one way to return to a "normal" situation: revoke the access to the app from the google dashboard.
This is not really an issue for me as I'm using Google+ only to sign-in the user to my app using the one time authorization code, and I'm not using the access token from the client.
But this prevent automatic login from working, as the user is immediately considered as "signed out" from a google perspective.
Q1: client:plusone.js is just telling the loader to automatically load the "client" module. It's basically automatically doing gapi.load("client"), except it is already packaged up for you in one download. You could do it the other way around as well, plusone:client.js!
Q2: Not sure, it may be some JS quirk. In general, try and make your code able to handle multiple callbacks, you may get another if the state changes (e.g. the user logs out of their google account).
Q3: I don't see that on the test page - I am signed OK, and still signed in on refresh! Check you're not blocking third party cookies in your browser or similar?
I am using Google+ Badge API to get Followers and +1's. Also, i have the Signin button using the Google+ Signin API. When i login using the Signin button, it asks for the email permission. But, when i want to Follow or +1 the Google+ Page it asks me to login and never asks for the permissions.

Is there a way around where i can ask users for permissions when they login using the Follow AND +1 button?
Also, if a user has set his/her profile fields (like birthday) privacy to 'ONLY ME', then can i request for those fields? If yes, how?
1- there isn't a Badges API.
2- You should distinguish between
- using Google functionality, like the badges or the +1 button, which requires the user to login to Google+
- using your service's functionality, like the sign-in button, which requires the user to connect their Google+ account to your service
In short the user has to sign-in to Google+ (which doesn't require any permissions because Google+ is the identity provider) and connect to your service/site/app which requires them to give you permission.
i'm currently building an app where you can like the app itself from a like button inside the frame. So, i load the js sdk :
<script>
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : '<?php echo $appid; ?>', // App ID
status : true,
cookie : true,
xfbml : true,
oauth : true,
});
FB.Canvas.setSize()
checkIfLoaded();
// Additional initialization code here
};
// Load the SDK Asynchronously
(function(d){
var js, id = 'facebook-jssdk', ref = d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}
js = d.createElement('script'); js.id = id; js.async = true;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js";
ref.parentNode.insertBefore(js, ref);
}(document));
</script>
then i just write a like button in the html :
<div id="page" class="page-01">
<div id="content">
<h1><img src="img/skin/logo.png" alt=""/></h1>
<div class="block-01">
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<div class="fb-like" data-send="false" data-layout="button_count" data-width="105" data-show-faces="false"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="footer">
</div>
</div>
I was expecting a like on my application by this button, but it like the url hosting my application.
I'm new to js sdk, is there a way to do this kind of things ?
There is no such thing as "Liking Application", actually the only thing you can bound your Like Button is URL (which may represent OpenGraph object).
You cannot use Like Button to like any internal Facebook Objects like Page, Application, User, etc.
If you speaking about liking the Page that associated with specific Application you should use Like Box social plugin (which is intended to be used with Pages).
You'll need to specify the URL to like with data-href="url to like"
I have the following simple test page and trying to add a FB login button. This will be part of a stand along web site and not a canvas application. If the current user is already logged in on FB, then the list of friends using the application is displayed, but there is no login button. If the current user is not logged in on FB then I get nothing.
Any ideas?
Here is my page... I'm currently running it under localhost.

first you don't really need to put in the async js loader twice, just redundant code is all. Secondly, I don't know how that code could list friends, I don't see the code for it.
1) You say you're expecting a log-in button even though the person is already logged in? The login button plugin you're using doesn't work that way. It will only show login if the user is not logged into your application. See the note saying "Note: If the user is already logged in, no login button is shown." on https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/login/
2) You also say you cannot see any login button when the user is logged out of Facebook. This is odd, but without seeing all the code I don't know what to help with that part of your question.
Is your app on sandbox mode? Try disabling sandbox mode from app facebook config.
