Question

I’m using Rails 3.0.9.
Trying to login to my (localhost) site through Facebook.

My init params on the login page:

FB.init({
      appId : '<%= FB_APP_ID %>',
      status : true,
      cookie : true,
      xfbml : true
});

The login button works, I get the Facebook login popup and I can successfully log in to Facebook.
Then the following event is reached:

FB.Event.subscribe('auth.sessionChange', function(response) {
    if (response.session) {location.href= ...}

And I’m being redirected to the wanted location.
But – can’t get any cookies of “fbs_” or “fbsr_” like the Oauth is looking for at: get_user_info_from_cookie(cookies)

My cookies = {}, nothing there.
In a few occasions, I recall I did have some facebook cookies there, I can’t reconstruct such case, but anyway, it didn’t include the “fbs_” ones, only others.

Also, after logging in, when I go back to Facebook tab on the browser and refresh, it does show me my Facebook page, but after a second, it shows a popup says “you need to log in”. In my app though, it still knows to keep directing me to the wanted href, like needed when a user is logged in.

I would really love to hear if you have anything that can help me… 🙂

Thanks,

• Just got the scenario with some Facebook cookies again (still not by the wanted names). Got the following names: “datr”, “locale”, “locale”, “reg_fb_gate”, “lu”.
  But even to these I can’t get to with the Rails cookies param – cookies[“dart”] returns null.
  cookies param only shows the cookies with the host of localhost (which contains data when I’m logging in (with Clearance) – the regular login procedure to site.

Answer 1

Just wanted to update to say that I had solved my problem:

1. I had added to the init the param: oauth : true:

   FB.init({
       appId : '<%= FB_APP_ID %>',
       status : true,
       cookie : true,
       xfbml : true,
       oauth : true
   });
   

2. Apparently, there is a bug with adding the parameters added in
   js.src, so I removed them(!) and problem was solved:

   (function(d, s, id) {
       var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
       if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}
       js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
       js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js" //removed: #xfbml=1&appId=<%= FB_APP_ID %>";
       fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
   }
   (document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); 
   

That solved the cookies problem for me!
