NEW POST: MultiFriendSelector - Place in another IFrame within an IFrame?

epeng — Wed, 14 May 2008 00:24:58 GMT

I've got an IFrame app going and the invite link working fine to the third party invite page.

I've placed that invite page in another iframe within my iframe app. That's where the problem comes in. It's still a facebook page, and facebook's header and everything still appears.

I want to know if I can reposition the contents of the iframe so that only the invitation section appears. So far, I haven't been able to find anything that does this.

The closest I got was this: http://forums.asp.net/p/1047213/1471707.aspx
But I got the same error: "Permission denied to get property HTMLDocument.body" because the iframe domain is not the same as my app iframe domain.

Any ideas?

If its a code reuse issue take a look at using the CanvasFBMLMasterPage. Then in the content pages use the master page as CanvasFBMLMasterPage.
I'm pretty new with this myself so ymmv.

hi wong....

Being in ur app all the pages inherited from masterpage , U try like this:

Use this in MasterPage ..... and call IframeAdjust(); in body onload, it may work........

<script src="http://static.ak.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.2/FeatureLoader.js" type="text/javascript"></script>//watch out . YOU MUST USE v0.2 and NOT v0.3.

<script type="text/javascript">
//after a delay of 500 ms we fire the "fireRequireFeatures()" method. We do this to prevent
//IE from throwing the "Internet Explorer cannot open the internet site. Operation aborted" message.
function IframeAdjust()
{
var userAgent;
userAgent = window.navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();

if (userAgent.indexOf("msie") >= 0 || userAgent.indexOf("microsoft internet explorer") >= 0) //capture browser type and do the delay
{
setTimeout("fireRequireFeatures()",500); //here i delay 500 milliseconds
}
else
fireRequireFeatures(); //no problem with other browser

function fireRequireFeatures()
{
FB_RequireFeatures("CanvasUtil", function(){
FB.XdComm.Server.init("/xd_receiver.htm");
FB.CanvasClient.startTimerToSizeToContent();
});
}

}

</script>

Also, my xd_receiver.htm file looks like as follows

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head>
<title>Cross-Domain Receiver Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="http://static.ak.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.3/XdCommReceiver.debug.js" type="text/javascript"></script>//watch out the version here. It works for me in this combination
</body>
</html>

Thanks

First time Facebook developer here.

Hi Sandip,
Sorry for replying late. But it seems like you are the only one to get this error message. But anyways, here is what i will do in your situation:

1. Make sure your xd_receiver.htm file is correct. Check the version. In my case it worked with v0.3.
2. Make sure your relative path correctly points to xd_receiver.htm. If you are not sure, then try giving the full path instead of relative path (For eg. FB.XdComm.Server.init(http://mydomain.com/facebook/xd_receiver.htm);)
3. Try changing the version from v0.3 to v0.2 in the xd_receiver.htm file
4. Try it in a different browser and/or different machine. I know this fix is for IE but see to that it shows up properly in FF.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks and Regards,
Hemant.

COMMENTED ISSUE: _fbService.GetFriends(); bug for United Kingdom

schubertjr — Sun, 11 May 2008 03:31:44 GMT

There seems to be a bug with the _fbService.GetFriends(); call.

If any friends listed have their address set to United Kindom this causes the following error:

"Requested value 'UnitedKingdom' was not found. "

However changing this address to say, New York fixes this (also Facebook lists his as "NY" not "United States" perhaps it's an issue with the space character?"

Can anyone help?!

Doug
Comments: ** Comment from web user: schubertjr **

get the toolkit's sourcecode, and modify Facebook/Entity/Location.cs to include the new country. (in the Country enumerator, add UnitedKingdom).
then, just use the library you just built.

NEW POST: Question of Design and direction...

Cory — Thu, 08 May 2008 12:59:08 GMT

Hello~

I am interested in the following design, but I am not sure how to proceed. I have read a number of the documents and my confusion could be due to the fact I have just picked up programming after long sabbatical.

The question will be, how do I do this.

This is what I want to do…

I want to build a website on my local server and tie it into my CRM system. The Web service will load from CRM in an IFRAME and extract the Friend ID from my contact in CRM. (I will add these to each contact myself.)

The end result is that the facebook friend will show up in an IFRAME within my CRM system. I will not be asked to login etc.

I do not feel like this is something that should be a Facebook Aplication. I think it is more of a CSharp/.NET issue but I wanted to get some guidance from someone that has a better understanding of this before I spend much more time on it.

Thanks for taking time to read my post!

NEW POST: Wrong password shows 'KEYS' is undefined

BSOD2600 — Sun, 04 May 2008 03:19:16 GMT

Using the FacebookDesktopSample, if you input a valid username and invalid password and click Login, eventually you will get a popup stating 'KEYS' is undefined. Clicking yes, makes it so you eventually get the Facebook invalid username/password screen. Regardless, that popup shouldn't be occurring. Any idea why this is occurring and what the fix is?

Details of the popup:
Internet explorer script error
line: 9
char: 1
error: 'KEYS' is undefined
Code: 0
URL: https://login.facebook.com/login.php?popup=1
