Question

I have made a facebook app, but I am unsure I have understood something correctly.

I have been working with alot of code, trying to get this window: Image example

But now I have been puzzling with this under my app settings my settings

I have submitted all my data, but when I enter the app as a tester, I don’t get this window dialog.

Maybe it is something to do with under “App details”. Since it is only on test stage, I havn’t pressed “Submit App Detail Page” yet.

Can anyone clear this area for me? 🙂

These setting are for users coming to your app from within the app center only. (They used to be for Authenticated Referrals as well, but those are deprecated and should not be used any more in new apps.)

But whenever the user reaches your app by other means (page tab on a Facebook page, canvas app), you have to trigger login yourself and specify the permissions while doing so with the scope parameter.

Please familiarize yourself with the basics of building apps on the platform and the mechanisms of authentication:
