Facebook login problem

**GK User** Fri Dec 16, 2011 9:05 am

First I thought it was something on my website, but on the template demos like Musicity and Myfolio e.g. it's the same problem, the Facebook login isn't working anymore. It used to work, I have three websites with this functionality and it's impossible to log in on these websites.
Since it's not working on the template demos, I guess it has something to do with the gavick - Facebook plug in?
I would really like to have this solved, any help is much appreciated!

Hi Eric,

I have checked, Facebook seems to have just changed something in their API service causing the problem http://easycaptures.com/fs/uploaded/650/9321998300.jpg

I will ask our developers to check this more. Please be patient, I will be back with solution soon.

Thanks,

Thanks!

When I click Login (Musicity template, www.bandmembers.be) I can see the popup, when I press the Facebook button I see the Facebook login screen, it tries to login, but I get a "500 error" page

On www.communiereportage.be, when pressing Facebook button, I get : combination of user and password incorrect or you do not have an account yet (in dutch)
I have updated the template and the Facebook authentication plugin. Did I forget something?

I could login successfully in the both sites with my Facebook account.

Regarding the "500 error", please check the Callback URL in your Facebook account, I guest that you have provided a wrong URL or something...

I checked it with Firefox, had to clear all cache and now it works. Safari is still a problem, though I removed all cache files. I will have to be patient with Safari...
I also noticed that on my iPhone, the Facebook button doesn't show anymore. I this supposed to be this way?

Did the button show in iPhone before? Since I don't have an iPhone so I have to ask that

Yes, I could login on (the desktop version of) the website with my iPhone before the update.

This is a screenshot of the demo template (I believe this is not updated yet) and shows what the iPhone popup looked like before...

Having still problems on Safari, I installed com_jfbconnect on both sites, disabled Facebook api in template settings, and all is working well now. Not the ideal solution, but this works at least...

Sorry nbednarik, I did not look at this post since mid december, I did not see your question. I honestly don't remember, but I guess it's the com_jfbconnect button you're seeing on the website. Also, Facebook changed a few things with the authorization, updating your templates might help too.
