Question

I have to create a new simple Facebook application. Everything was great until I wanted to configure the app Permissions. The “Authenticated referrals” option is disappeared. Maybe it is an amature question, but.. what now? I configured everything, and the Auth Dialog doesnt show up, so the application doesnt ask for any permission.

I have to access the users:

• email
• likes

and I have to publish a photo to his/her profile.

How can I get permissions now? I tried to find out on the developer blog but I found nothing usefull.

Thanks in advance and sorry for my English. 😉

It seems that you are using PHP and since you didn’t mention using Javascript, this is the server-side flow, step four is where you specify the permissions (using the scope parameter):

   $code = $_REQUEST["code"];

   if(empty($code)) {
     $_SESSION['state'] = md5(uniqid(rand(), TRUE)); // CSRF protection
     $dialog_url = "https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=" 
       . $app_id . "&redirect_uri=" . urlencode($my_url) . "&state="
       . $_SESSION['state'] . "&scope=email,publish_stream,user_likes";

     echo("<script> top.location.href='" . $dialog_url . "'</script>");
   }

For the list of permissions, refer to the permissions document.
