Question

i have a question…. i am actually developing a facebook application with FB javascript SDK. In my application I need email permission for further processing. i am using

FB.Connect.showPermissionDialog(“email”);
but some how the dialog doesn’t appears… here is my code

 <script>
    appid = '*************';
    name = 'Palmchip Test App';
    href = 'https://apps.facebook.com/*********/';
    FB.init({
    appId:appid, cookie:true,
    status:true, xfbml:true
    });
    FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
    if (response.session) {
    alert("You are logged in...");
    FB.Connect.showPermissionDialog("email", function(perms) {
           if (!perms) {
            alert("no access");
           } else {
               alert("accessed...");
           }
         });
    }
    else {
    top.location.href='https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?client_id='+appid+'&redirect_uri='+href+'&display=page';
    }
    });

</script>

the alert which says you are logged in… works fine but then nothing happens …..

Answer 1

1. You need to upgrade to OAuth 2.0 ouath: true
2. You should use the new OAuth Dialog
3. You should be aware when upgrading that FB.getLoginStatus() will return different objects: response.authResponse
