login module with faces

The faces won't show up when using a text or image link. Never thought about that before, but it's a completely separate way to show the button and there's no way to show the faces like that. We'll try to clarify that in the description text in a future release.

As for your issue.. hmm.. that's a strange one! We can recreate it, but there's nothing about v4.3 that's changed with the login button at all. I can't find any bug reports in Facebook about this, but will keep an eye out. I'd like to test the last version (v4.2) and see if the issue exists there, and if so, we'll submit a bug report to Facebook.

Hope that helps, but for now, the only advice is not to use the show-faces option.

Thanks,

Still seeing the wrong behavior with the show_faces option on the Login Button. I'll submit a bug-report about this tomorrow to Facebook.

As for the Friends module, yeah, we have a check in the module to see if the user is logged into Facebook. That check should probably be removed, but the reason it's there is because the Friends module will show absolutely nothing if the user isn't logged into Facebook *or* has no friends who have interacted with the site. We can't check for this 'emptyness' ahead of time, so instead, we only show Intro parameter if the user hasn't logged in.. that way, something should show.

Hope that makes sense. Again though, I can see revising this in the next release.. just hadn't had anyone point that out in a while. Feedback or thoughts are welcome.

Thanks,

We seem to agree together that it would be nice, but I don't think I made the underlying problem clear enough.

If they aren't logged into Facebook, nothing will show in the Friends area. The possibility of 'nothing' showing is a problem. So, we at some point in the past, added the check that the user is logged into Facebook on your site (which is something we can check for). We can't simply check to see if the user is logged into Facebook in general, if they haven't already approved your app.

So, we wanted to prevent the 'nothingness' from showing, but I'll agree, we went a bit over-zealous on that. My guess is that for v5.0, we'll remove the logged in check and always display the intro text. That way, you can say "See your FB friends on this site", and it may just be an empty area underneath. Suggestions welcome!

Thanks,
