Hello!

I'm fairly new to SilverStripe and have been learning the ropes for the past couple days. I am trying to port my existing site into my new SilverStripe site and am running into some annoying problems.

The old site was built around php facebook-connect and now in the new site I'm trying to simply get this FB login button to display on my index page:

<fb:login-button size="medium" background="light" length="long" onlogin="facebook_onlogin_ready();"></fb:login-button>

But nothing shows up! In my IndexPage page_controller init() method i have:

Requirements::javascript('http://static.ak.connect.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/FeatureLoader.js.php');
Requirements::customScript('FB.init("8763d5741c331101769c1e5129066211", "xd_receiver.php");');

and in my IndexPage.ss I have changed the top to:

<!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" xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">

Which *I think* is all I need to do according to this document:

http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Facebook_Connect_Tutorial1

Any insight as to why this login button is not appearing is greatly appreciated!

-Joe

hi,

try this

Requirements::customScript(<<<JS
   FB.init("8763d5741c331101769c1e5129066211", "xd_receiver.php");
JS);

instead

Requirements::customScript('FB.init("8763d5741c331101769c1e5129066211", "xd_receiver.php");');

good luck
cheers

Thank you for your reply, I ended up getting this to work and I wish I could explain how.

I think I might have just had some weird/bogus HTML in my .ss so it was messing it up some how.

Anyway, it works now.
