Facebook sso + Group only forums

Veljko Radovanovic

Hello, I have recently start using NodeBB and I am really impressed, but as every newbie i have some issues.

First, I am using fb sso (https://github.com/julianlam/nodebb-plugin-sso-facebook#readme), it creates acc just like here, but user email is completely wrong, it is always something like [email protected].

Second, I am trying to allow groups to have private forum. On example someone creates private group, is it possible to allow them to create own threads/ posts inside that group?

Any help is welcome Thanks!

To come on the part about the groups. There isn't a automated way of doing that. However, you can make the permission s of a category so that the users of the group can see, post & read that category. Assigning users to moderate there private can also be done by manually adding there names with the moderation permission

thanks! that will do it.
Still need help with fb thingy

Has been an issue for awhile, though I cannot reproduce it Not sure why my dev app is different from yours...

Is your email confirmed in Facebook?

Veljko Radovanovic

Yes my email is confirmed in FB.
I've seen that issue on git but no solution yet

Veljko Radovanovic

I've tried with 3 different FB accounts, same thing. hmm

As reported here:
https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/298946933534016

Some possible reasons:
No Email address on account
No confirmed email address on account
No verified email address on account
User entered a security checkpoint which required them to reconfirm their email address and they have not yet done so
Users's email address is unreachable

No clue what the difference between "confirmed" and "verified" is

Edit: Added some debug steps to the issue, if you could try it out and let me know, that'd help!

@julian as per your suggestion here https://github.com/julianlam/nodebb-plugin-sso-facebook/issues/13

I added console.log(profile); in library.js
as per the link below
https://github.com/julianlam/nodebb-plugin-sso-facebook/blob/e042fac332908b136030cdd3063a221cdb960d36/library.js#L61

The output log give following output and hope this gives you some clue you are looking for

478 { id: '1176537305694066',
479 username: undefined,
480 displayName: 'Gomathi Sankar Namasivayam',

Hm, as you can see, Facebook is not returning the email in the output at all, so there's not much I can do from the plugin standpoint.

There has to be some combination of settings that will allow the email to be saved...

I tried various options to test..this is my observation.

I have used a facebook id to login into this forum, which has read the email id and correct email is is displayed in the profile.
I have used the same facebook id in my own forum, there login is successful, but right email is not displayed (instead it is giving email like ([email protected]).
Obviously there is something wrong in my forum vs this forum, as same facebook id not returning email id for my forum , but it does return here.
Surely i hv to update something in my forum to get the email id.,Any pointer on where to start and proceed to investigate further ?

Try to install the latest version of the facebook plugin. I think the email issue is fixed.

Nope..

Veljko Radovanovic

It has to be something in facebook developer (application) settings

Veljko Radovanovic

Well this is strrange. Instead of installing plugin via web interface, i used command line and version went to 1.1.14 from 1.0.5 and now everything is fine

Yes, the 1.1.4 fixes the issue. Use npm install from CLI to install the latest plugin.
