Hello,

I have spent a few hours messing about with the Facebook APP interface. I think i have read every single post about this. I have my APP live and everything per your instructions. So what am I doing wrong?

See attached

Thanks in advanceFB-app.gifFB-appError.gifFB-appError.gif
 
It doesn't help that Facebook changes this interface so often (and hence our documentation is out of date) but I think you now have to click "+ Add Product" and add "Facebook Login".

You will then get some various OAuth settings and filling in these should get the app all set up for Facebook login.
 
I added the Facebook product login product or at least started to. The first entry was easy as is just my domain. Now I am faced with them asking me to add code to xenforo and that is outside my scope. Any other ideas. I would like to use this feature as its one of the main reasons I have purchased xenforo.

You should be able to skip all of the code elements, as that's what XenForo will do. Roughly speaking, you just need to get the Facebook app into the correct state to allow it to work for the login system that we use. Unfortunately, they are constantly changing how this UI works, so existing instructions never seem to stay correct for too long...
 
I am sorry they are constantly changing it. What a pain. I was able to get this far and it still does not work. See image-- what to do next? Appreciate your help.FB-login4.gif
 
I'm fairly sure the "Valid OAuth redirect URIs" section is something fairly new -- that's likely the thing it's expecting to see.

As for the value it expects... it can vary from provider to provider. Try just simply putting in your domain name accessnorton.com.
 
Any more info on this? I really need help to integrate the FB login as nothing seems to be working. Please let me know.

1) Support - Please help me and others integrate. <- Best solution
2) Tell me if there is a log somewhere I can check for the actual FB error?

Thanks
 
Thanks very much for the excellent support. Its taken a bit to style the site how I wanted it, but well worth it and happy its live. Really like xenforo so far and I am glad to say its been a pretty smooth transition from phpbb. Thanks again it worked!
 
In "valid OAuth redirect URIs", enter "https://www.accessnorton.com/" (or for anyone else, your domain). Now disable "use strict mode for redirect URIs" and be sure the save the changes at the bottom. I believe that should allow it to work.

Due to the security changes made to Facebook, it's no longer possible to turn off this setting :

Regarding specifics of Sitecore and the Social Connected module, I found from @CBroe's comments that the Valid OAuth Redirect URIs now needs to contain a query string parameter as follows:
http://example.com/layouts/Social/Connector/SocialLogin.ashx?type=access

previously I just had
http://example.com/layouts/Social/Connector/SocialLogin.ashx

If you are using HTTPS, you will need to enter the URI with the port number as well i.e.
https://example.com:443/layouts/Social/Connector/SocialLogin.ashx?type=access

This last point is not related to the recent Facebook app changes.

So is everyone having trouble with this? Someone needs to make a guide because I'm getting "can't load URL" error on both my installs and it's frustrating. What settings are people using to get this to work?
 
I'm looking for a solution also. One of my XF1.5 sites works and the other quit working with same settings on both. Both of my FB apps were live and working bur now one of them is no longer live and I get this message when I try to make it live.
You must provide a valid Privacy Policy URL in order take your app Live.

I have the same problem but XF 1.5 is dead, no support.
