Facebook Profile is not getting updated for different users through Singly API

[Janardhan Pasumarthi]

Hi All,

   I'm using Singly PHP api to get the user profile data using facebook, when user logs into my application using facebook. Here, i'm facing problem with profile data that is coming from SinglyAuthentication. If i've logged in with somethin...@gmail.com for the first time, then it is giving proper data. But, if i log in with another email id, then also it is giving the same data that was given to previous one. I've tried destroying session, but not able to solve this.

Please suggest me solution for this.

Thanks

Hi Janardhan,

Are you using this library? https://github.com/Singly/singly-php

There are a few things that could be the issue. One possibility is that your 2 facebook profiles were connected together instead of logging into a second facebook profile. 

Can you print out the $access_token from your php application and see if there is more than listed when you visit https://api.singly.com/profiles?access_token=[your access token here] to confirm?

If that is the case, you need to make sure you are using the authentication flow documented on https://singly.com/docs/authorization, specifically the logic of whether to apply an access token to /oauth/authenticate.

Once that is fixed (it should be correct if you use our library). You will need to create a new Singly app and use that in order to reset the connection of the accounts.

I'd be happy to answer any other questions.

Justin

Hi Justin,

   Thanks for the reply. I'm using this library.. https://github.com/kinlane/singly-social-authentication-php 
and i've checked , https://api.singly.com/profiles?access_token=my access token. Yes it is containing more than 1 facebook profiles are together. But, i've followed all the steps mentioned properly in https://singly.com/docs/authorization. But, no change in the result.

Finally, i've created new App and replace client id and secret. Surprisingly it is working fine now. Do you find any reason for this? As i'm doubting, it may fail again. Can you help me in this.

Thanks.

I would suggest you use this library instead: https://github.com/Singly/singly-php

it has been updated to work correctly with connecting accounts. The issue is that the library you are using uses /oauth/authorize instead of oauth/authenticate. Feel free to implement this as is stated in the documentation if you want to keep using the same library.

Hi Justin,

             Thanks for response, we have modified API to use authenticate. After modification facebook started working fine without any issues. But twitter is still having the problem of getting the same data irrespective twitter user id. Is singly treating facebook and twitter differently. Do you have any specific suggestion for twitter?

Thanks,

Suman
