Cookie handling should be done in your Home/Index action which is the action for http://www.yousite.com. When user authorizes your application, the login window closes and your homepage refreshes (you must have fbconnect.js). This is when cookie handling code is to be called.

Yes, so after the login goes away I am signed in. When I go to http://www.facebook.com it automatically takes it to my home page.

Out of curiosity, where exactly would you put the Cookie handling code?

My guess is that if I was handling cookies incorrectly, it would show up on subsequent refreshes.
If there anything I need to do to change the login button after I log in?

Once logged in, if I click the fb Login button again, it just refreshes my page which also means that according to it I am already logged in.

Any help would be very appreciated.

Thank You,
Anup

One way to find out if you are truly connected is to go to facebook.com. If you’re logged in, then it means that authentication process worked and that the cookie is there. You need to verify signature.

If you get null, it most probably means that your code tries to read the cookie before it is set! It might have something to do with how you handle xd_receiver.

I hope it helps.

I think you need to setup the base location in the Facebook connect to the base of your website.com

I was facing a similar problem.
however, I am in a situation where i know I get logged in, but the Cookie is null for some reason. No matter what I do, I can not read the cookie information. any help?

thanks!

You are most probably missing fbconnect.js.

Ahmad, I am able connect through facebook connect, but the pop up windows does not close and it renders the site again. I am not sure what did I miss.

- my fbconnect.js is in (“Content/js”) folder
- My controller name is xd_receiverController
- My xd_receiver view is (“xd_receiver/Index.aspx”)
