Facebook App: Where do i put offline_access request?

Question

I need my app to request the offline_access permission (detailed here), but as ever I'm baffled by the Facebook documentations.

It says I need a comma separated list of my permission demands, like 'publish_stream,offline_access' etc

where do i put this list in the interface below????

can you show us your front-end code (where you ask the user to login)? both answers are correct but based on your code you might want to use a different approach — ifaour, Jan 14 '11 at 12:52
it's a single user app, it requires the user to be logged in. Think i found the solution here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1059640/facebook-offline-access-step-by-step will update this post once i have thoroughly tested that solution... — Haroldo, Jan 14 '11 at 13:14

It's used with the API, as follows

$facebook = new Facebook(array(
    'appId'  => FACEBOOK_APP_ID,
    'secret' => FACEBOOK_SECRET,
    'cookie' => false,
));

$facebook_login_url = $facebook->getLoginUrl(array(
    'next' => '',
    'cancel_url' => '',
    'req_perms' => 'email,publish_stream,status_update'
));

Where $facebook_login_url is the URL tha the user needs to follow to grant you access.

Does that help?

You can't do this with that interface. You need to set scope parameter when redirecting user to facebook.

x=y&scope=email,user_about_me,user_birthday,user_photos,publish_stream,offline_access

First define which permissions you will need:

$par['req_perms'] = "friends_about_me,friends_education_history,friends_likes,friends_interests,friends_location,friends_religion_politics,
     friends_work_history,publish_stream,friends_activities,friends_events,
    friends_hometown,friends_location,user_interests,user_likes,user_events,
    user_about_me,user_status,user_work_history,read_requests,read_stream,offline_access,user_religion_politics,email,user_groups";
$loginUrl = $facebook->getLoginUrl($par);

Then, check if the user has already subscribed to app:

$session = $facebook->getSession();
if ( is_null($session) ) {
    // no he is not
    //send him to permissions page
    header( "Location: $loginUrl" );
}
else {
    //yes, he is already subscribed, or subscribed just now
    echo "<p>everything is ok";
    // write your code here
    }
