Hey,



i am facing a problem (small thing, i guess) using Facebook integration with the backbone/Titanium Libary.







At the moment my example code looks like this:

function onFacebookClick(e) {



var user = new Kinvey.Backbone.User();



var promise = user.connect('facebook', {

appId : Facebook.appid,

success : function(model, response, options) {

console.log("Facebook Success");

},

error : function(error){

alert("error");

}

});

}



The problem ist, that neither the success or the error handler are executed. (But the app opens the facebook register window etc. without any problem)



Expected:

After successfull login with my facebook account data and returned to the app, it should "fire" the success handler, so that i cann move forward.



Any hint/idea would be great.



Best,

Nico

Gurmukh: 

It seems like the post 2 above this one from Mark seems to resolve the issue, so the standard titanium implementation would likely be the best route to go.

Thanks,

Hi,

I've got the same problem, I think email verification is disabled by default, and I'm getting nothing from success or error, should I just default to the titanium implementation?

Thanks

Ah thanks for that Marc! :smile:



I'll post my complete code later on here, maybe it could help other Ti Dev's to avoid the problems/questions that i have.

For the login you can just use the login method, no need to go through connect:



```

var user = new Kinvey.Backbone.User();

var promise = user.login({

_socialIdentity: {

facebook: {

access_token: ''

}

}

});

```

Hmm ok i am working on that.



Obtaining the token by the native module isn't a big deal at all.

To be honest, i'm a little bit confused:





Register:

User--> get Facebook token --> "per hand" create user on Kinvey passing the socialIdentity --> Email for verification is send || everything works fine and as expected.



Login:

If the user opens the application and is logged in to facebook - how could i login him? Just than call the "connect" method of Titanium? Cause connect is just to "connect" a user to social identity once, i thought?



Claryfication would be nice :smile:

Nico, I am able to reproduce now. Turns out this is caused by two things:



1. Your app enforces email verification when new users are created. When using the social connect, after getting the access token from the Facebook dialog, a new user is created with solely that token. Hence no e-mail address is part of this, therefore the request fails as an e-mail address is required.

2. The library has a bug where failures like the ones above are not passed through to the error handler. For now, you can circumvent this by using promises:

```

var promise = user.connect('facebook', {

appId: Facebook.appid

}).then(function(model, response, options) {

console.log("Facebook Success");

}, function(error) {

alert("error");

});

```



The 1. point above is a tricky problem. Right now, you could use Titanium’s Facebook module manually to obtain the user data (including the email address), and then calling `user.save()` manually as well:



```

// Obtain the user data from Facebook through Titanium’s Facebook module.

// Then, create the Kinvey user manually.

var user = new Kinvey.Backbone.User({

email: '',

_socialIdentity: {

facebook: {

access_token: ''

}

}

});

var promise = user.save();

```

Hey,

i am building for ios (and android, but didn't test that ) - i think i configurated everything on facebook for the application and the oauth table in the kinvey backend.

Emulator. Reading through your reply, I guess you’re on iOS. Can you give me the details I asked for in my last reply, so I can try and replicate in the same environment as you are developing on? Thanks!

Hmm did you try it in Simulator and/or on Device?



Thanks,

Nico

I tried to run the above snippet in the latest Titanium (3.2.2), and I am able to successfully obtain the Facebook access token and user data.



Which platform are you building for? Did you configure your Facebook app at all at developers.facebook.com?
