Now that my facebook app has got more than 1000 likes -- https://apps.facebook.com/156485447732146/
But I still can't find how to get the vanity name for it as http://apps.facebook.com/Bizspeaking/ , it's ridiculous that getting the name is even harder than building the app...
(Note I've already got my vanity Facebook page as http://www.facebook.com/Bizspeaking , but haven't figured out how to link the two)
It is a property inside the app settings called app namespace.

I have a vb6 application that creates a jpg image. I need to have the user click on a button to have that image uploaded to her Facebook page. I created a Facebook app and use an api (chilkat) with my vb6 to do the upload. But, I've really been stumbling around trying to get it working. On the Facebook side, what settings should I have to just upload a photo? For example, this runs on Windows PCs... what platform do I designate in my Facebook app??
Also, my current attempts get an error from Facebook saying that "Can't Load URL: The domain of this URL isn't included in the app's domains." I expect this upload to be from the user's PC to Facebook. What URL/domain do they want?
Are there samples of this type of thing that I could check? Thanks - John
New info as of Nov 12 --
I have the Facebook app set as a Website using "localhost" which seems to move me along a bit. But, now I get the error --
"The request is invalid because the app is configured as a desktop app"
Is that telling me my Facebook app is a desktop??... or that my vb6 code says it is a desktop? If I have to change the Facebook platform, it looks like I need a Windows store id? If so, is that just a simple registration (and $19)? Thanks - John
I'm using djangocms_blog. Everything is working good, but I have no idea how to include facebook for articles. Plugin give me possible for that, but I never do that and I don't know where I find relevant information about it.
How it look on my djangocms admin:
I created app on facebook dev:
And I used facebook app ID in my blog input on settings.
Like can you see, there is more information about FB. Where can I find them? And What else I should do?
All the informations are actualy optional, and you can provide any combination of them.
In case you created the application, App id is the right one, probably you will also want Facebook author URL (the user profile) or Facebook page URL to link the post to the facebook profiles.
Don't forget to enable generic django meta support (at least META_USE_OG_PROPERTIES: https://django-meta.readthedocs.io/en/latest/settings.html#meta-use-og-properties)
"Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration: One or more of the given URLs is not allowed by the App's settings. It must match the Website URL or Canvas URL, or the domain must be a subdomain of one of the App's domains."
First of all I'm fairly new...I've been programming in Django for about a year. I have followed about 6 or 7 Django AllAuth tutorials and think I have a good grasp on setting it up. Although, when I get to the Facebook login, it fails to work. I've set up my Facebook application via Admin, including api key's and app id.
Can I not sign in via Facebook through my localhost? Do I have to be on an external server? I've researched this for about two month and still haven't found any correct solutions to the problem. Very frustrating...Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
I'm attempting to install and configure Django AllAuth and I've run into a plethora of obstacles. I'm afraid I'm simply missing a few basic concepts which might clear some things up.
In order to get basic social authentication working what setup needs to be done inside the social provider (Facebook, Twitter, etc.)
If this is the case then how would one develop locally because at first glance of Twitter's API setup it asks for redirect URLs which would get hairy considering everything right now is hosted locally.
When I try and go to /accounts/login/ it redirects to /accounts/profile/ every time. Can't seem to figure out what's causing this redirect.
I was previously using Userena for my user authentication and was going to add Django-social-auth but when I got into it that was giving me difficulty. I then found AllAuth which seemed to fit my needs perfectly but again, having some issues. Can anyone weigh in on this decision, would you recommend one over the other and if so why?
Facebook Error:
"Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration.: One or more of the given URLs is not allowed by the App's settings. It must match the Website URL or Canvas URL, or the domain must be a subdomain of one of the App's domains."
When I click okay it redirects back to my site. My browser gives me a security error and when I proceed through that I end up back at my site displaying:
"Social Network Login Failure
An error occurred while attempting to login via your social network account."
1) Have a look here: https://speakerdeck.com/tedtieken/signing-up-and-signing-in-users-in-django-with-django-allauth
(specifically, slide 61 and above)
2) Simply use 127.0.0.1:8000 in your redirect URLs
3) By default allauth redirects to LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL, which is set out of the box to /accounts/profile/: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#login-redirect-url
4) As I am the author of allauth I will skip answering this question myself. Browse through the complete presentation referred to by 1) -- the initial slides provide a good comparison of the various options.
I am working on an app that uses facebook's check in feature from mobile phones. I have created multiple versions of the app on facebook so that i can keep production, test and development separated. All good. However, all my checkins whether test or dev or prod are going to the live facebook platform leading to check ins like "this is a test" or "blah blah" on live facebook pages. Is there a way to be able to check in but not on these real/live pages? In other words, is there a sandbox or development version where developers can freely update content?
Thanks you guys!
Best,

So, as with many other things in life, banging my head against the problem helped a bit. I found out that I can create test users for my app - upto 500 of them. The documentation is at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/test_users/. I was able to create test users for my app, login to facebook with those test users and verify that my actions did not show up on public pages. Phew, now i need to deface these public property no more. :-) When doing this, you need to use the app access token not the regular user accesss token. To get that, follow this link: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/applications/. The last gotcha I faced was that the second link above states that you should have a parameter named grant_type=client_credentials in your graph request. I kept looking for types of client credentials that i could substitute what i thought was a place holder named "client_credentials". That term needs to go in verbatim. (GOTCHA). Also, twice when I tried to create a user, facebook responded with an error json saying that an "unknown error has occured". I was almost ready to give up... but like i said before, banging head against the problem helps. Facebook responded with a json like so after the third request:
{
"id":"*******1832",
"access_token":"*****",
"login_url":"https://www.facebook.com/platform/test_account_login.php?user_id=*****&n=*****",
"email":"****",
"password":"*****"
}
Hope this helps someone else who might also be looking for this info.
