Facebook login 2015 version of Facebook Developer

ragtop1968

I know the "Invalid redirect_uri" error has been asked and answered, but it seems Facebook Developer's
app pages have changed considerably from the responses not matching what is on the pages now.

I have tried the suggestions, using the same base url http:://www.ocala-living.com for
the website field and tried the uri redirected field and the app domain field.

And it is still not working for me.
I installed the vanilla forum in the directory http://www.ocala-living.com/forum and trying that url
hasn't helped any either.

Could someone upload what the current pages for Facebook Developer should look like for this to work?

rasteron

have you tried adding a forward slash in your site url field? try both..

http://www.ocala-living.com/
http://www.ocala-living.com/forum/

ragtop1968

Yes, but still getting the same response.

ragtop1968

I changed Site Url to http://ocala-living.com/ and now get this error

With http://www.ocala-living.com/ I was getting this error

I really liked this forum platform, but I just can't seem to make this work.

You need to fix your pretty urls.

Post the content of your htaccess file or make sure it is correct.

Make sure you have the $Configuration for ReWriteUrl is TRUE in the config.php

# Original
# If you modify this file then change the above line to: # Modified
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   # Certain hosts may require the following line.
   # If vanilla is in a subfolder then you need to specify it after the /. 
   # (ex. You put Vanilla in /forum so change the next line to: RewriteBase /forum)
   # RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php\?p=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

After reading the htaccess file for the forum directory, I changed it to RewriteBase /forum
but still not working.
I don't see config.php in the forum directory. Is it in a sub-directory?

ragtop1968

An update. I finally found config.php in the conf directory. RewriteUrl was set to false so I changed it to true
$Configuration['Garden']['RewriteUrls'] = TRUE;

And it is still not working. Everything was so plug and play with Vanilla Forums right up to this point. Now I am just ripping hair out.

Make sure there is not a hash(#) in front of ReWrite Base

I am not sure what else except that site url for where you want the facebook app needs to be the one with forum at the end.

http://www.ocala-living.com/forum

htaccess now looks like this
# Modified
# If you modify this file then change the above line to: # Modified

RewriteEngine On
# Certain hosts may require the following line.
# If vanilla is in a subfolder then you need to specify it after the /.
# (ex. You put Vanilla in /forum so change the next line to: RewriteBase /forum)
RewriteBase /forum
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php\?p=$1 [QSA,L]

and the site url is http://www.ocala-living.com/forum

I just don't know either. It just was not meant to work for me I guess.

Well found the following post on here. Someone really should put all this in a FAQ file. The information is so shattershot all over the place. What to try first, second, etc would be helpful.

Hello, dear friends. I had the same problem and found that bug is hidden here in the file class.facebook.plugin.php inside of GetProfile function at this line:

$Contents = file_get_contents($Url);

The problem mostly is not in vanilla forum, but in PHP configuration. It should be built with OpenSSL support to transfer data via https protocol ($Url in this case points to https facebook site). But this function is deprecated and it's bit strange why developers use it instead of curl functions. Moreover there are a lot of curl calls in this file. Because of that on some configurations this bug exists, on others don't.

To make it work correctly, try to change this line to:

$Contents = $this->file_get_contents_curl($Url);

Of course, my dear friends, you have to add the function file_get_contents_curl inside of the file. Put the following code after the GetProfile function:

function file_get_contents_curl($url) {
    $ch = curl_init($url);

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); //Set curl to return the data instead of printing it to the browser.
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

    $data = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);

    return $data;
}

It should work now! I hope you'll enjoy vanilla forums.

If it doesn't work, please ensure that OpenSSL feature is enabled for cURL.

I don't recall modifying my plugin file but good info though @ragtop1968 glad it works for you now.

Mine isn't working either. Tried all the processes listed above but still get this error

Invalid Scopes: publish_stream. This message is only shown to developers. Users of your app will ignore these permissions if present. Please read the documentation for valid permissions at: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions

AlvaroFG

Seems like there is a new apps review process implemented by facebook, we need to ask facebook for permission to use "publish_stream". I wonder where I could disable it, since I don't need that permission.

AlvaroFG

I've found it!, @martin2008 add this to your config.php file

$Configuration['Plugins']['Facebook']['Scope'] = Array('email','public_profile');

martin2008

@AlvaroFG yea worked
