Can you give me some help please?

The facebook app tab, when clicked, does not display in Chrome, period, just a blank frame. In Explorer I get this error:

This content cannot be displayed in a frame
To help protect the security of information you enter into this website, the publisher of this content does not allow it to be displayed in a frame.
What you can try:
Open this content in a new window

What is it that I am messing up???

Thanks for your response in advance,

Ates

Actually, now that Facebook canvas is configured, I enabled the login module. Instead of login in through Facebook, it just brings it back to a login/registration page. Really not what I expected from this.

If it does the same thing with linked in login, I am really not interested in this!

I can just enable the Jomsocial-Facebook connect and have the same effect... automated

Ates,
In the JFBConnect configuration area, there is a setting for "User Creation". If you have it set for "Full Joomla User", that will bring the user through the registration process where they can set their own username/password. If you change it to "Facebook User Only", the account will be created for them automatically like you're looking for.

LinkedIn, however, will require the user to put in a username/password. That's simply because LinkedIn does not allow retrieving the user's email address from their system. Since Joomla requires an email address, we need to ask it from the user. So, with JLinked, there will be a small registration form that will need to be filled out. In the next release, we'll be adding options so that all the user would have to add is their email address and JLinked will automatically create a username and password, which will make the form extremely short. We can help you do this now if you'd like that.

In both cases, after the account is created (either automatically with JFBConnect or after the short-form with LinkedIn), any other profile information can be pulled automatically into your site.

As for the Canvas setting, it sounds like you have something in your template or a plugin which is sending a specific meta tag which prevents the page from being loaded in an iFrame. That's a common feature in some SEF and security extensions. You'll need to disable that.

Hope that helps,
Alex

Thanks for the quick response. That was it. Thank you!!!

Now it is acting the way I wanted it to. With the linked in login... that will be my next project after I get the Canvas up correctly.

I am using sh404SEF in a Yootheme template an Joomla 2.5.3

Any previous encounters with that combo? I hope so...lol by now my head is spinning from looking in all different corners and settings...

Thanks again,

Ates

YooTheme shouldn't be an issue.

sh404 - I'd recommend disabling the Social Integration in there (whatever it's called). It will include the Facebook Javascript library and initialialize it in a way that can cause big issues with JFBConnect. Those social features also don't do anything that JFBConnect already does.
Also, in the configuration area of sh404 for the settings per component, set JFBConnect to "Skip" or "Use non-SEF URLs", whatever you see. Normally, this isn't required, but on some servers, if sh404 messes with our URLs, it can cause issues with communication to Facebook.

For the upcoming 4.2 release, we're adding some 'auto-configuration' abilities to JFBConnect. It may not help you directly, as you'll have most done by then.. but it should make things easier for maintenance and error checking, should issues arise. We understand that JFBConnect can be a bit daunting, and we do our best to simplify things.. but it's always a game of more features, while keeping them easy to use.

Any feedback or suggestions are welcome!

Thanks,
Alex

Hm, I disabled the SEF URL's for JFB connect, the social configuration is already disabled.

But the tab isn't working.

The Link directly to the app works like a charm: apps.facebook.com/purposefundingweb/

See how tired I was didn't even catch the wrong link

I need some sleep, but thanks for all your help on thsi!

Ates,
Sorry, the above stuff was just general info about recommended config settings for sh404SEF. Not necessarily a solution to your tab problem.

I think you linked to the wrong page above.. unless you work for Anything-Digital :) Could you re-post the direct link to the page as well as the Facebook Canvas view of the app so we can see what happens there?

We'll help you get to the bottom of it soon.

Thanks,
Alex

Ates,
The social functions from sh404SEF look to still be enabled on your page. If you open the HTML, and search, you'll see multiple inclusions of things like sh404sefsocial.js and sh404sefsocial.css. It's also including the Facebook Javascript in the code as well, which could easily be part of the frame problems you're having in the Tab. Please make sure that's disabled.

As for adding the Login With FB button to the drop down menu, you need to find out where that login module is being rendered from (You may need to contact YooTheme). Once you do, you simply need to add the tag {JFBCLogin} to that template file and JFBConnect will replace that with the appropriate button.

Hope that helps, but keep us posted on how it goes.

Thanks,
Alex
