[edit] Additional information about why Desktop auth exists and what's different
Hopefully this will go some way to explain why the examples in the article are in PHP... http://code.google.com/p/facebook-java-api/wiki/DesktopMode
[edit] PHP in an article about desktop apps?
How is this a desktop app if its written in PHP? Sorry for the silly question, but it doesn't make much sense. There is not enough background given in the page. --506306287 08:42, 11 April 2008 (PDT)
- I agree what's the deal with the PHP for a desktop app? I would like to see C or C# or some other desktop app language. This guide seems out of date with the new profile design authorization. 1181029451 20:13, 20 October 2008 (PDT)
[edit] Error
Fatal error: Call to undefined method FacebookRestClient::auth_createToken() in /home/.../facebook/index.php on line 25, using Apache/2.2.4 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.3-1ubuntu6
- I think your missing the FB PHPlibrary. FB PHPlibrary is something you need on your server to use the FB API calls in PHP 1181029451 06:34, 11 November 2008 (PST)
[edit] New Profile design
This article could use an update to reflect the Login process for desktop apps using the New Profile design. 1181029451 06:36, 11 November 2008 (PST)
[edit] Extended permissions
The article needs to explain how to give user extended permissions in case of desktop applications. Facebook supports UI for granting extended permissions only in a browser. So how can I direct facebook to go through appropriate pages as part of login process?
[edit] Reusing sessions still active but temporary
I am building a python desktop app and i noticed that in order to for users to log on I need to call facebook.login() which means taking them to a page in their browser to login.
Trying to avoid having to login the user every time they start the app, I tried starting up the desktop app without calling facebook.login() and calling facebook.auth.getToken() and then directly followed by a call to facebook.auth.getSession(). you will get a token yes, but if you try to get a session... face book ERROR:100 'invalid parameter'.
as well as python programmers I'd also like input from other programmers from other languages too. PS: whats with the use of PHP in examples? None of us desktop-app developers ever use it...
[edit] Error in example code.
Okay, so I thought it'd be pretty simple to try this out.. until I went to test. It seems that there's one include missing from the example code, and that is:
require_once('facebook.php');
