How to let Facebook Login button redirect to a particular URL ?
Facebook login is a popular way for web developer these days to capture user data and at the same time login the user to the protected part of their website. A common question about what happen next after authenticating the user is :
Is there a way to redirect to a URL after the user successfully logs in?
Yes, you can redirect your user to a particular page after authentication by including the redirect_uri
parameter.
$params = array(
'scope' => 'read_stream, friends_likes',
'redirect_uri' => 'https://www.myapp.com/post_login_page'
);
$loginUrl = $facebook->getLoginUrl($params);
In the event, that you get this error message returned :
"error": {
"message": "Error validating verification code.",
"type": "OAuthException"
}
Go to https://developers.facebook.com/apps
Make sure that the Canvas URL is set up correctly and the redirect_uri
must be one of the URI under the Canvas URL
For example, your canvas URL value is set to http://www.myapps.com
, the redirect_uri
must be http://www.myapps.com/something or http://www.myapps.com/somecontroller and NOT http://www.someoneelseapps.com/something
Hope this tutorial can be useful.
