Topic-icon Auto Facebook Login doesn't always work

Hi,
I have noticed that Automatic Facebook log in does not always work. If I access the website at root domain, it never logs me in, even though I am signed in on Facebook. If I click on some other link, however, it then logs the user in.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Tadas,
Can you test if you go to your home page and then just refresh the page, if that logs you in? Or, do you have to go to some other page on your site?

I know your home page had some weirdness with caching and login tokens previously, so just want to know if this is specific to that page still.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex

Yes it does log me in after refresh, but not the first time I land on the page, for example when loading from a bookmark.

Thanks

Tadas,
It sounds like you're experiencing a bug that was introduced by Facebook last year. They changed how they notify JFBConnect of an automatic login. We're looking into a solution to the problem, but haven't found exactly what we're looking for yet.

The 4.1.2 release of JFBConnect is coming out tomorrow or Wednesday. After that, this is going to be a higher priority bug for us to figure out. Until then, there's not a better way to make auto-login work, unfortunately.

Hope that helps,
Alex
