The Facebook login does not work

**GK User** Wed Sep 18, 2013 9:39 am Reply with quote Report this post

I did the quickstart install from (M)Social and have no other Facebook related items installed but still the Facebook login wont work.

It is enabled in the settings and i have entered the id.

Even when i disable in settings the FB login then the button still shows up in the login window.

Any help is welcome .....especially if there is a way to make FB login work

Hello There -

I am having the exact same problem. I've already added my FB and twitter api and name, but nothing seem to be pulling thru. Any thoughts?

I think there are two things that need to be solved:

- that the FB login works, but also ....
- that the FB login button in the login screen is connected to the setting in the template file "FB login" enabled/disabled. It makes no sense to have the button show if you have disabled the FB login.

I really hope there will be soon some solution for this, because as it is now one can hardly offer a site with this issue for public use.

Please let me know when there is a solution.

Could You tell me on which template "fb login" button shows when there is no fb_app_id in template settings - social API tab?

It seems the problem only affects J3.x series. Sadly - the problem affects all templates with facebook login.
To fix that please edit:
plugins/authentication/facebook/facebook.php
and change:

Code: Select all: JAUTHENTICATE_STATUS_SUCCESS;

to :

Code: Select all: JAuthentication::STATUS_SUCCESS;

and

Code: Select all: JAUTHENTICATE_STATUS_FAILURE

to

Code: Select all: JAuthentication::STATUS_FAILURE

This should fix the issue.
