fb request not working

Hi there,

I have an issue with facebook request. There are couple of issues and they must be all interlinking. However, I dont know how and hence I will just post all the errors I am encountering:

1. When I click on "Invite friends" nothing happens; at the bottom of my screen it says something like javascript.void...

2. In the Canvas set up guide you mention the following points which i need to adjust in the facebook settings:

signed_request for Canvas: - Enabled
iFrame Page Tab - Enabled
Develop Using Deprecated FBML Canvas - Disabled

However I cannot find them anywhere

3. In the admin panel, under the "Canvas App" the following is stated:

Your Canvas application does not appear to be correctly configured

4. In the facebook "Basic settings" under the "App on Facebook" section, I am not able to include the Canvas URL

--> I might be doing something wrong here though: So what I do, is just copy and paste the same URLs as in the "Page tap" settings.

However, I always get the error:

Error
Canvas URL must point to a directory (i.e., end with a '/' or a dynamic page (i.e., have a '?' somewhere).
Secure Canvas URL must point to a directory (i.e., end with a '/' or a dynamic page (i.e., have a '?' somewhere).

I would really appreciate, if you could help me out again.

thanks

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your response and I got it to work.

Still some issues though:

When I send a request, it appears on in the notifications bit saying that: "XYZ has sent you an request in Student Fever".

However, once I click on that it redirects to the canvas page in facebook and does not link to my site url as specified in the "request" settings. I have made sure that i have checked the "Redirect from Canvas" option.

Also, my website does not seem to appear properly in the Canvas page and is oversized.

I have also an issue with "Application as Tab". Even though, I have specified an article ID, the front page appears in the facebook page and is also again oversized.

I have send you all the relevant links, access and screenshot per pm.

thanks for your help,
ari

Hi Alex,

all the my facebook settings are my homepage now (pls see screenshot in pm).

However, it is still not working. I specified a particular URL section, tried "redirect from canvas" checked and unchecked, but when I click on the notification in facebook, it always keeps me sending to the canvas facebook page of my website and not to the specified URL in the "request" settings.

I would really appreciate if you could have a look yourself, as I am getting more and more frustrated...

many thanks alex.

Thanks

Alex, a few more notes to the above:

the request feature seemed to work for couple of minutes, but suddenly it stopped working again... the pop up is not appearing when I click on the "invite" botton.
(example link via ps again)

in the few minutes, when it seemed to work, there was a small issue as well: when I click on the notifcations, a blank white page appeared with a error line and then it got redirected to the canvas facebook page of my specified url...

sorry to bother you so much.


sorry

hi alex,

thanks for your help.

this might be a stupid question, but exactly are carriage returns and how do I disable them?

thanks,

Hello Ari,
generally speaking, Carriage Return is when you press enter to get a new line of text.
As Alex has suggested, try putting all text in one single line and see if that helps.
