Andrea,
I'm using Chrome developer tools. When the Facebook Page tab loads, you can use the tools (Wrench -> Tools -> Developer Tools) to inspect each element of the page. If you inspect the inner iFrame that's loaded in the Page Tab view, the very top of the head section has the following line:

<base href="https://socialapp.adgroupsolutions.com/">

Can you check the application settings in the Facebook Developer area for the Application with ID 141390929292842 and tell me what's setup for the Page Tab and Secure Page Tab URLs? This information should also be shown in the JFBConnect Canvas - Page Tab section, but I'd check the developer area to make absolutely sure.

Finally, please note that redirects can occur within the Page Tab area. If there's something on the bettinibio subsite that would redirect the user to the other socialapp site, that may be what's happening.

Please let us know. We were mostly out for the holiday weekend here in the United States, but we'll help how we can the rest of the week.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi, tx for your reply, i didn't find the issue about redirect but restoring the site now all is ok, you had right, the problem was about redirect to another domain. Tx again for your help in this long thread

PS many posts ago i have spoken about absolute link in the canvas page; the solutions is simply write the app url (for example apps.facebook.com/bettinibio/) and add second part of joomla url (i mean url after domain) seo friendly or not as you setting in joomla control panel

Andrea,
Very glad to hear you got it going. Thanks for the tip about the Canvas URL. In the upcoming 4.2 release, we'll have a way to auto-configure and recommend the settings for your application within JFBConnect, and hopefully, that will minimize some of the confusion.

Best of luck,
Alex

Hi I was reading the posts above. Would enabling Authenticated Referrals pop up the permissions before loading the iframe site and then auto login and user creation for Requests?

Ivan,
Yes, that's the idea of Authenticated Referrals.. when a user clicks a link from within Facebook that redirects to your Application, they will automatically get the login popup.

It should be easier with 4.2, but still not guaranteeing it will work out of the box. It will definitely be something we help anyone implement as needed as we plan to have it a 'feature' of either 4.3 (if a lot of work is required) or even with a 4.2.x bug-fix release, if not much work is needed.

Hope that helps,
Alex

Hi,

Just want to let you know that I have made the changes to 4.2.1 as you mentioned above an it does auto login a user from a request. However from the page where i have my app it doesnt not prompt me with a dialog box and it doesnt not auto log new users in. Does anyone know if this is a facebook bug. Not sure why it works for request and it doesnt work from app link on facebook page.

Hi Ivan, i had same issue and i solved it using redirect; in the page tab url of your facebook app panel, set an html page with this code

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>APPNAME</title>
<script>
                parent.location.href = 'https://apps.facebook.com/APPNAME/';
</script>
</head>

<body>

</body>
</html>

maybe this is not a professional solution but i'm not a programmer and it works

Andrea,
I believe your solution is the correct one. I'm pretty sure that Authenticated Referrals do not work within Page Tabs, only for the Canvas (apps.facebook.com/appname) view of your application.

This is a Facebook restriction, so yes, if you want the user to have to log in when going to your Page Tab, you actually have to redirect them to your Canvas.

Thanks for the code snippet!
Alex
