Question

I have a issue for facebook apprequests (oauth2, graph)

I sent a app request to my friend B.
B logged into facebook and found our request in the app list.
B clicked the accept button

B redirected to the facebook canvas page. I want to rediect to our app, not facebook’s canvas, is this doable?

thanks

Answer 1

you can put a url in the data param

see here http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/requests/ under properties at bottom.

data Optional, additional data you may pass for tracking. This will
be stored as part of the request objects created.

This will get passed back to you and you can use javascript to location.href to the url in the data.

———-Here is a sample i have used in the past

    var thisimg = 'AN_IMG';
    var thisurl = 'A_URL';  
    window.sendrequest = function(){
             FB.ui({ method: 'apprequests', 
             title: 'A request.',
        message: 'Rate Me! Request from: ' +thisname+' ',
        data: ''+thisimg+' '+thisurl+' ',
        filters: ['all'],
        });
        }

———- Sample from Facebook with data param added.

        var thisimg = 'AN_IMG';
        var thisurl = 'A_URL';
  function sendRequestToManyRecipients() {
    FB.ui({method: 'apprequests',
      message: 'My Great Request',
      data: ''+thisimg+' '+thisurl+' ',
    }, requestCallback);
  }

  function requestCallback(response) {
    // Handle callback here
  }

---

upon callback you can do a window.top.location.href=”; with the url you passed in data.

NOTE: The default redirect for a request is the canvas, this cannot be changed. After user lands on your canvas you will read the data param from the request and redirect them to your external app.

“i do not see any other way to do this, since requests2.0 does not include option for a redirect uri.”
