Hi there!

I guess you all aware about the last news regarding the facebook and data leak. Because of that, they are making the usage of the API more strict, that is why please check the updated instructions how the Facebook login APP should be created:

  1. Please follow this link to Facebook
  2. Please press "+Add New app" at the top right corner of the screen
  3. On the next screen, you should choose the name of the app, for example, you can use your network's name or something else, it doesn't matter just depends on what name would be more convenient for you in order to manage another app you have, and don't forget to enter contact email address, and press "Create App id"
  4. After you have filled the captcha on the left side of the screen you will see the menu. Please press "Settings" button.
  5. On the next screen you will see the settings of your app, however, you should take a look at the left side of the screen once again and press "Advanced". It would be located just under the "Settings" button that you have found in the previous step
  6. When the advanced settings would be opened please scroll down the page a little and find "Allow API Access to App Settings" and turn it on (there is the trigger just to the left from that text please click on it once to turn on). Please don't forget to save changes as well.
  7. Then please take a look at the menu on the left side of the screen and press "+Add product"
  8. On the next screen, please choose Facebook Login, and then press "www"
  9. In the field which is called "Site URL" please enter the following link (https://YourSubDomain.networkauth.com). And click "Save".
  10. Then please take a look at the menu on the left side of the page, end just under "Facebook Login" you will see the button "Settings". Please press it.
  11. On the screen that would be opened, please enter the same link mentioned in step 9 into the field called "Valid OAuth redirect URIs". Also using the link mentioned in step 9 as the base please add to it /connect_start (the result will look like this https://YourSubDomain.networkauth.com/facebook/connect_start or something similar), and add to the "Valid OAuth redirect URIs" as well. Then add to the base /facebook/callback (the result will look like this https://YourSubDomain.networkauth.com/facebook/callback) and add to the "Valid OAuth redirect URIs".
  12. Please press "Settings" button, in the left menu and click "Basic" from the drop-down which will appear under "Settings" button you have just pressed.
  13. Please paste into the field "App Domains" the URL provided in step 9, and insert the link to your terms and conditions and the privacy policy into the appropriate fields. Those links could be obtained on teh network just follow the link in the footer of the page or change the following link https://YourSubDomain.ning.com/main/authorization/termsOfService so it would correspond to the subdomain you have registered with us. Since teh privacy policy is optional and if you haven't created one you can paste the link to the terms and conditions into the "Privacy Policy URL" field.
  14. Your app is almost ready, please choose "App review" from the menu on the left side of the screen and make your app public by switching on the trigger "Make name of the app public?" where "name of the app" is the name that you have chosen for your app.
  15. The list of items would appear and just under it, you will see the conditions that your app should fulfill in order to be submitted for the review. Click "settings" link there and upload the icon of your app, and just under the icon choose the "Business Use"
  16. Now your app is ready, please go to the Settings -> Basic on Facebook and you will see app id and secret you need.
  17. Please enter App id and app secret, and save the changes.
  18. The only thing left is to wait until Facebook will approve your app, and after the users will be able to use it. (this paragraph is not relevant anymore, it's related to the apps created before teh changes we have made recently on 2018-07-12)

Hope these instructions would, help.

Best wishes,

Ning team.

    • Hi there!

      Since you don't see any items that should be approved by the Facebook and the list contains only preapproved item, you shouldn't submit the app for the review. So the next step would be to add the picture as the app logo and choose "Business use". After you will be able to proceed to teh paragraph 15. I do apologize for any confusions.

      Best regards,

      Ning Team.

      • Thanks Kyryl!

      • I have completed the instructions above and made the app live. It's not working yet, I will give it some more time and come back with what I find >

        • Hi there!

          You can add me as the developer of the app so I could take a look what is wrong. To do this just open the roles tab and when you will be adding a developer use this facebook id 100014908511509. After everything is done please let me know, as there are no automatic notifications sent from teh facebook when you are receiving the request like that.

          Best regards,

          Ning Team.

          • Thanks Kyryl, I've added you as a developer

            • Hi there!

              Please check private messages here on creators since I have had to share some personal information in order to provide the proper explanation.

              • Hello,

                I would like to proceed with this and need further assistance. I’d like to do this in 2 steps. 1) get the new fb signup and login working 2) work on getting the old accounts fixed. Kyryl has access to the login app, can we please have that switched over to be live. I can then test that new sign-ups are working and  once they are, we can work on step 2. Thanks for any help on this -

                Gavin

                • Hi there!

                  Kyryl is going to send you a private message with some additional info, please check it :)

                  Bets regards,

                  The NING Team
