Simple example of popup authentication with Facebook Graph API
- by ensnare
Trying to get Facebook to authenticate my users via a javascript popup. Right now, I have:
<input type="button" value="Connect with Facebook" onclick="window.open('https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=XXXXXXXXXXX&redirect_uri=http://example.com/step2&display=popup')" />
But when the user logs in via Facebook, the popup just displays the Facebook.com homepage. I'd like for the popup to authenticate the user and go away so that I can start retrieving user data from the graph api.
Is there a better / easier way to do this? Simple examples are appreciated.
Thank you.
