XF 1.1 Facebook Login & 'Recommend'

[OverHere]

I read http://xenforo.com/help/facebook/ and I have signed up to a new user FB account + a corresponding FB developer account but my dev can not find the '+ Set Up New App' button as advised in no. 2 at the above link?

There is no '+ Set Up New App' button at http://www.facebook.com/developers/apps.php? When I am logged in to the FB dev account and click this link it takes me to https://developers.facebook.com/?

So, where to find this and how to sort out FB log in feature + the Recommend feature?

Thanks.

Sorry but account sharing is against the ToS and I have too many active apps to risk getting banned for breaking it.

Oh, I think I might know the issue your having. Did you add and verify a mobile phone yet? You need to either add a phone https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=mobile and enter the text code you receive via your phone or add a credit card https://secure.facebook.com/settings?tab=payments and purchase with that credit card $5.00 in FB credits to verify it. Until you do one of these two, apps are locked.

yes, when I registered as a dev on FB I did it via a phone number and then entered the code I got via a text. but at most it just takes me to this page:

Try clicking on Apps in the blue header bar

Odd, I tried this too but it just takes me to the first photo I added above!

You have to be logged in as a FB user rather than a page. Otherwise, if you're struggling to create an app in Facebook, you would need to contact them.

Sorted, I used an old FB account

Xenforos own facebook log in asks for permission to post on your behalf, (but this can be skipped..)

How come my forums facebook log in asks for access to friend lists, public profile, email address, birthday, current city and websites?

Where do you un-tick all those scary options?

Thanks

 

[Paul B]

That is all controlled by the Facebook App.

 

[Hoolio]

We fond this in Xenforo code

library/XenForo/Helper/Facebook.php

Line 148:
public static function getFacebookRequestUrl($redirectUri, $appId = null, $state = null)
{
$perms = 'email,publish_stream,user_birthday,user_status,user_website,user_location';

Can we remove it?

 

[Hoolio]

There doesn't seem to be options for it within the facebook app

Or have we got that wrong?

 

[Mike]

You're right - it's only in the code. Honestly, I'm not sure if you'd run into errors if you remove those. Obviously, our code is only expected to work with those settings.

 

[Mike Edge]

You need to at least have $perms = 'email,publish_stream,user_birthday';

All facebook connections require auth to streams, the API will deny without it. You need e-mail and birthday as their are no fields in the register form via facebook for them.
