Facebook Login button stopped rendering - javascript

I have a test page where I am trying to work out the problems of the Facebook Login button. I tried something, put things back to how they were, and now the button stopped rendering.
The page is here:
http://www.comehike.com/test_fb_connect.php
Any idea why the button doesn't show up?

First, clear your browser's cache and cookies. A commenter stated that the button renders for him/her, so it could be a local issue.
Second ensure that your Facebook developer account is active.
Third, use Firebug to check the requests between your site and Facebook. This may reveal any obvious errors.

Redirect Page In Chrome Without Confirmation Dialog

I'm having an issue with JavaScript, especially in Google Chrome, where, when I redirect to another page, I receive a Confirm Navigation dialog asking if I want to leave or stay on the current page. In my code I'm calling alocation.replace(); method.
My goal is to bypass Chrome's Confirm Navigation dialog and, at the same time, avoid breaking the Back button in the redirection process. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Try using window.location.href="your url" Example

OpenERP Mobile Client page refresh issue

I have to do some customization work on OpenERP Mobile Client. The Problem is that it works on #tag Url's like
http://localhost:8069/web_mobile/static/src/web_mobile.html#oe_menu or
http://localhost:8069/web_mobile/static/src/web_mobile.html#oe_sec_menu_21
Problem is that one I am on any page and for any reason if i Refresh the contents never Loads again. it just gives me a blank page. If I copy the URL and Paste in a different Browser window then also nothing. I cant Find out whats the Problem In the Code or how it works. The Documentation of Mobile Client is too Poor.
I am banging my head here from last one week I need Help.
Yes, There is no specific mobile console for R&D purpose. So its core issue from mobile client.But other alternative is use Back button click event for navigate the page which is shown on top of page instead of browser back button.
You can used Home button as well as Back button for refreshing purpose.

History Sensitive Back Button

Is it possible to have a button on a webpage that will be named 'Back' and do window.history.back() if the user has navigated to the page from another page on your website and otherwise have some other title and be a direct link if the user navigated to your page from another website or went to the page directly.
Google plus on mobile seems to have this behaviour. When you click on a post in your stream then it has a 'back' button on the post page. However, if you go to the post page directly then it has a 'stream' button on the post page.
This seems tricky to implement because you don't have access to the urls in window.history.
Have you any chance of adding an ext lib like BBQ? It's a package used to manage the history behavior in your page.
I have done this before. You can do this with an anchor in the link. The anchor needs to have every get parameter of your application (i.e. application state) stored. Your application should be able to parse the anchor. To intercept the back button look here: stackoverflow.com/questions/136937/is-there-a-way-to-catch-the-back-button-event-in-javascript.
#benmmurphy I also had the same problem, then I used the following, which worked perfectly for me. You have to paste it on the page, from where you want to go back.
GO BACK
Hope this will help you.

How can I get links to a redirect page to show up in the browser's history?

A website contains a "random" link, which loads a url that returns a 307 redirecting to the url we want. It works fine: click it and you load a random page. The problem is that each time you click it, the browser assumes you're loading the same page: so if you're on the homepage, then you follow the random link 5 times, then you press back, you'll be taken all the way back to the homepage, with no way to find the random pages you were just looking at. I want to modify this behavior so that users can access previous random pages via the back and forward buttons.
I don't own the website, so I can't just change the redirect code.
Here's what I've tried, all of which has failed.
Predicting what would be redirected to. While somewhat possible, there would be no way to avoid failure in up to .1% of clicks, and it would react very poorly to unexpected events, like a page that's published a day late, let alone a sit structure change.
Loading the 307 page via ajax. The request stops at readystate == 2 and I can't access the location header.
Cancel the click event and instead set location.href = random_link.href. This has no effect - the new page still doesn't go into history.
Have the new page call history.pushState. This successfully adds the page to history, but I can't find a way to distinguish between new pages and ones being opened via the back button, so the history quickly becomes very corrupted.
Keeping my own history in localStorage. As above, I can't tell when the back button is being used.
I'm working on a solution that I'm pretty sure will work, involving loading the page in an iframe over the existing page and using a background process and messaging to work around the fact that content injections from chrome extensions can't access window.parent from within iframes. And using the history API to reflect the current iframe's URL in the address bar, and get the back and forwards buttons to apply to the current iframe where appropriate.
While I'm pretty sure the last solution can be made to work, it's a hideously complex and heavyweight approach to what seems like a simple problem. So I thought I'd ask you guys before I continue: any other ideas?
Have you tried storing the locations in localStorage, then hi-jacking the back button ?
I am sure you know how localStorage works, for hi-jacking the back button you can refer to this : Is there a way to catch the back button event in javascript?

Facebook Connect Bug - JavaScript Refresh

Facebook Connect has a recent bug that is causing the permissions pop-up window to not close and refresh the parent window as it is designed to do. Instead, after approval by the user it attempts to load the page directly in the pop-up window which is an awful user experience and really hurting our registrations. You can see the bug by registering for our site using Facebook Connect: http://alltrails.com
The URL of the page after the user connects that Facebook Connect is incorrectly loading in the permissions pop-up window is of the form:
http://alltrails.com/?installed=1&session={"session_key":"2.Gu0duOqdElNjXRac5wnetw__.3600.1283799600-1486832834","uid":1486832834,"expires":1283799600,"secret":"tKFaEgBTF9RJeuQZfYUSCw__","base_domain":"alltrails.com","sig":"a8dd9f75418b530ae6c3d935e14274c4"}
I'm hoping that someone much better at JavaScript than myself could suggest a simple code snippet that we could add to our homepage that would only be invoked if the page URL includes '?installed=1' and would do the following to allow the same user experience as Facebook Connect was intended to provide:
Close the permissions pop-up window
Load the appropriate page http://alltrails.com/register/facebook in the original parent window
I've tried to do this a bunch of different ways but haven't had any luck with getting it to work correctly. Thanks in advance for your help!
It's a (unconfirmed) bug.
http://bugs.developers.facebook.net/show_bug.cgi?id=12260
Hopefully it gets more votes so it gets fixed - vote people!
In the meantime, i am (attempting) to employ the following 'creative workaround':
Add logic to my Default.aspx page to detect that URL they are redirecting to in the popup.
Redirect to my page, FacebookInboundAuthorization.aspx, preserving querystring.
On load of that page, register some JavaScript to close the popup and manually fire the "onlogin" event handler for my button.
EDIT - Another possible solution
So i do something like this for the "Disconnect from Facebook" button, which has a similar bug which has been in FBC from day 1. If the user is already logged in, and you click the "Disconnect from Facebook" button, the "onlogin" handler is not fired.
So what i ended up doing is replacing the Facebook Disconnect button with my own regular anchor tag, mimicing the Facebook CSS. This way i can have full control over the click event (fire the function i want).
So, this principle could (theoretically) be applied to this current bug.
That is, after you do FB.Init on client-side:
Check FB auth status using FB.Connect.ifUserConnected
If user is connected, hide the regular FB:Login button, and show your "fake" FB Login button. Copy across the "onlogin" function from your regular FB:Login button to your fake button as the onclick event.
Your Fake FB Login button would be a regular anchor tag, with the same CSS applied to the regular FB Login buton.
So essentially, if the user is already connected, we don't really need FB's intervention for authentication, we can just do whatever we want (request perms, redirect, etc).
That should work.
Unfortunately i have higher priority things i need to work on, but it sounds like this is top priority for you.
So give that a go, hope it helps.
