Thanks, that sounds about right. I'll just leave it if it is a glitch that I can't do much about.

Published (2009-12-19 12:43:00)
require_frame() basically looks at the current url, and if it's not apps.facebook.com/yourapp, redirects the browser there, which interrupts the running php script.  It's more of a safety net than intended for what you're experiencing. So it's safe to have and doesn't cost anything when everything is working right, since it doesn't have to redirect then. Not sure why you have the session...

oops forgot to mention that I'm not confirming it fixed just yet waiting for other people to confirm it fixed lol. It's not an easy one to confirm fixed as the bug in question is that it fails sometimes and sometimes not. Zynga's bug only mentions the friend list not being rendered. But documented in http://bugs.developers.facebook.com/sho … gi?id=7343 the whole page might comes up completely blank too. Last edited...

Mega mega auth burps
Published (2009-12-17 16:11:00)
Hard to say for certain, but this looks like it could be caused by the occasional API glitches that result either in a failure to connect or the dreaded invalid session key error. When require_login() redirects to login.php and it returns with APPURL?auth_token=XXX, the client library then tries to make an API call with the auth_token to validate it and get a userid and session key.  If that call fails, userid will remain...

Trojan Warning on my app?

If you use ads check it out if they are legit, look at view source, etc. Browse your app with firefox, run a network tool like fiddler and browse your app to see what is going on across the network. hope this helps

I found that I needed to use window.location instead of top.document.location.href. After wrestling with this for many hours (same for you Volund!) - too many hours - and not getting it to work satisfactorially I decided to disable my app if the third-party cookies are not enabled and provide the user a help page explaining the problem and how they can fix it if they want to use the app. One reason for this is, I intend to deploy the app on...

Thanks a lot. I will use verify_parameters.  Are there any normal and important security measures that I need to take into account while using iframes? I mean, are there any api methods like "verify_parameters" that I should be using everytime  to mantain minimal security conditions? Thanksss

Ok, so to answer your question, dburns, it appears that it does not happen on the first page.  I didn't know this before because the first thing my app does is redirect based on whether the user is already a player or not.  But I made a test application and changed it so it did not redirect and just loaded the first page and it does not happen on that first page but does happen when I click a link to another...

Yes. In application settings under Authentication there is a field for "Post-Remove Callback URL" fill in the location of a page that will be pinged when the user info is removed. You can put code to do what you want to do in that page.

So I recently ran into a huge problem and my entire application kept acting weird and throwing errors and doing bad stuff. Eventually I found that just putting the line "$facebook->require_frame();" at the top of every page solved all the problems. But actually I just got this from some sample code and don't know why this works. Also, having that there slows down my app considerably! Is ...

I'm seeing this again... my application page with lots of fbjs and fbml does not get rendered at all. Not even the facebook headers/footers. Nothing. nada. No errors from my server side, and the request does get go through. Appears to be an issue at the stage where facebook receives the data from me and is about to display it. However pages with very little fbml and no fbjs are ok. Anybody ...

Is your app FBML or IFRAME mode? How are your links structured, do they stay within facebook or jump to an external address? This might be a third-party cookie issue, if your initial page is being served from the facebook domain and subsequent pages are being served from another domain.

They generally mention in the wiki and on the various RSS feeds about what is going to happen... AFAIK there is no policy or standard. For example, feed templates still worked for months after it was annouced they were being removed, while other methods were removed much faster.

Have they authorized the app (ie. does your app have a call to require_login)? That's a requirement for someone to see it in their list of available apps to add to their profile tab.

No, I think #2 is the standard way of doing things. Having the url show up in the browser's url bar (rather than always just http://apps.facebook.com/myapp ) is useful for bookmarking.
