Using the Facebook SDK, I get the following console error when trying to connect a user to my site. The "Connect with Facebook" button works fine in all other browsers, except Firefox.
I have a Channel URL in the innit config, and I've confirmed this issue happens in Firefox installs without Firebug. The following is my code:
<script type="text/javascript">
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : 'my_real_app_id',
channelUrl : 'MYURL.com/channel.php',
status: true,
cookie: true,
xfbml : false
});
};
(function(d) {
var js, id = 'facebook-jssdk', ref = d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) { return; }
js = d.createElement('script'); js.id = id; js.async = true;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js";
ref.parentNode.insertBefore(js, ref);
}(document));
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a#login-fb').click(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
FB.login(function(response) {
if (response.authResponse) {
console.log('Welcome! Fetching your information...');
FB.api('/me', function(response) {
handleFacebookLogin(response);
});
} else {
console.log('User cancelled login or did not fully authorize');
}
}, {scope: 'email, offline_access, user_birthday, publish_stream, publish_actions' });
});
</script>
I fixed this issue by changing my above javascript, right below #fb-root to the following:
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : 'my_id',
status: true,
cookie: true,
xfbml : false
});
};
(function() {
var e = document.createElement('script');
e.async = true;
e.src = document.location.protocol + '//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js';
document.getElementById('fb-root').appendChild(e);
}());
//rest of code here
I had the similar issue in a Rails project and it helped to bring the
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId:my_real_app_id,
cookie:true,
status:true,
xfbml:true
});
out of header and have it in the <script>
tag just below the <div id="fb-root"></div>
in body.
For the browser platform, the plugin seems to be using the post prepare plugin to populate the APP_ID
. It assumes this is specified in config.xml
in the root of the project. I am not sure why - but this was missing in my config generating the error.
Adding this line to config.xml
, seems to resolve the problems
<preference name="APP_ID" value="0123456789"/>
Note: the implementation seems to be based on an inline replacement of the special token APP_ID
in several files (see plugins/cordova-plugin-facebook4/scripts/after_prepare.js
).
In my situation this had been set to null (presumably the first time it ran without the above entry in config.xml
). To resolve this I reinstalled the plugin and browser platform.
$ ionic cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-facebook4
$ ionic cordova platform remove browser
$ ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-facebook4 --save --variable APP_ID="0123456789" --variable APP_NAME="myApp"
$ ionic cordova platform add browser
