Re: Facebook Chat and PR1.2... how to login?

heh, guess i should of known that.

but the question remains, the app connects using xmpp methods, but for those it needs to be authorised on fb, which doesnt happen.

so i think the app needs an authorise button, just to redirect to the facebook page so the user can give authorisation to xmpp

doesnt look hard from the example code

Re: Facebook Chat and PR1.2... how to login?

Don't think you have to authorize facebook xmpp use, I never did. You do have to make a username though. don't remember exact steps

Re: Facebook Chat and PR1.2... how to login?

Hey guys my Facebook chat stopped working and my Ovi aswell I can no longer sign into those chats from my N900. Any ideas, maybe it's due to an update?

from the information on the page linked to above, i think this problem is caused by me being behind a router.

If you logged in from behind said router, no, this cannot be the cause of whatever problem you are having.

this leaves me wondering, why does the app use port 5222? and in the advance settings, why bother with including a stun server when the chat doesnt even work behind a router.

The jabber/xmpp protocol, as used by Facebook, Google Talk and many other applications, uses port 5222, as assigned by IANA for this protocol. XMPP is NAT-friendly.

I have no problems using jabber/xmpp from behind a router or firewall, as long as said router/firewall allows the outbound traffic in the first place. You should never need port forwarding on a router to support a jabber client, the only reason you would use port forwarding on a router is if you were running your own jabber server.

I have had absolutely no problems with the facebook support on N900, but maybe that was because I enabled XMPP on facebook the day they launched support for XMPP. I use it in a number of different networks/environments without any problems.
