I’m currently facing this problem with ruby on rails 3, devise and facebook oauth.

When I click the button that connects me using facebook, I want the accept button in the prompt to say Log In with Facebook instead of Install.

This is located in my devise.rb file:

require 'omniauth-facebook'
config.omniauth :facebook, FACEBOOK_KEY, FACEBOOK_SECRET

In my facebook app settings, I can see a bunch of options for configuring the auth dialog, but I see none regarding that button. I’m starting to think I created the wrong type of app. Perhaps it isn’t an app I should have created but some sort of website connection? But I don’t know where I can create that in http://www.developers.facebook.com. This should be fairly easy but googling yielded me nothing.

    After much testing and searching, I found out the answer although I don’t like it much. With this:

    # devise.rb
config.omniauth :facebook, FACEBOOK_KEY, FACEBOOK_SECRET, :display => 'popup'

    The prompt now says Log In with Facebook instead of Install. The problem is that with this :display => 'popup' parameter, the page displayed by Facebook is really formatted to be used as a popup instead of a redirected page (so there is lot of white space). I guess I’ll have to dig in a little to figure out how make it a real popup.

    EDIT: To turn the page into a popup, check out Chris Heald’s answer to this other question.
