RE:Facebook Logon Connect webpart not working in IE
Facebook has recently made changes to their authorization process that could make the Facebook Connect module of Kentico not work properly. I do know that some things will still work, but they are making/have made the move to requiring their Auth 2.0 process.

I have made extensive edits to the Facebook Connect web part to get it to work for me, but it still needs some tweaking.

The Kentico devs seem to have put this on their back burner. Possibly because not many people have the Social Networking package through them.

I could be wrong, but i believe that I am at least partially correct.

Hello,

Yes, you are right, this feature is planned, but in the version after 7.x or even a version later. There are regrettably more pressing features, which need to be implemented. I've updated the requirement, so our developers know, it was asked for again.

Best regards,

Hi Ivana,

I've applied the latest hotfix (6.0.49). All is fine in Firefox and Chrome, but Facebook connect web part doesn't work in IE 9.

Dmitry

Have you tested the login from some existing domain name? I think it does not work for localhost.

Hi Ivana,

Yes, I've tried with an existing domain name and it works fine. So it should be "localhost" problem. It's strange that it appears only in IE.

Thank you!
Dmitry

Hi,

I think this is some facebook limitation. I searched for it and mulitple user had problems setting theirs connection with localhost. The workaround is to use foo.local.com or some other domain different from localhost.
