Hang on Node Delete

This happens in firefox and safari. I haven't tested IE yet.

This is happening on node edit as well. Could this be a theme issue? It's not happening on Drupal for Facebook, but I can't delete my node there. I am using Sky.

Do I need to hack something to get it to redirect back to the page properly?

Nope. I think the only thing I have related URLs is Path. I haven't always had this problem, it must have been something that cropped up recently, but I don't know exactly when.

It looks like the drupal_goto (I think you have a canvas page equivalent, but I cant remember the name) is not firing after the node delete (or edit). It's got the correct path in the address bar where it's supposed to go. The URL just is not being rewritten, and the page not reloaded after the delete or edit operation is complete.

I have been running through testing on all browsers and it looks like it works fine on IE, but is failing on FireFox and Safari. I haven't tested it on chrome.

Now it happens sometimes on Safari, always on firefox, never in IE. I wonder if this is a facebook problem?

This seems to have gone away with the upgrade to RC1. Thanks!

I have been researching this more lately, and the problem seems to crop up when clicking the "edit" or "delete" buttons in a view. When just looking at the node and editing it or deleting it, the process works, but the site hangs on the redirect back to the view, if the edit or delete process was started from the view.

When you click "edit" from a view this variable is added into the address bar:

http://apps.facebook.com/your_app/node/xx/edit?fb_canvas_destination=view_page...

I remember reading somewhere that having that "fb_canvas_destination" in the address bar would cause the redirect to hang. Is that still the case?

I don't know how to try and reproduce it on DFF. Have you seen this at all?

Ok, here is what happens when I click the "login" link on the DFF forum from the canvas page. The same sort of error.

The problem seems to manifest specifically for me when trying to edit a node from an "edit" link in a view. If I navigate directly to the node and click edit, it seems to work fine. I think that is what confused me before. I didn't put together than editing, with the intent to redirect back to the view, was when the problem occurred, rather than just editing a node.

Is there anywhere on your canvas page that I could click an "edit" link from a view to try and edit a node? I think that might reproduce it again on your site, and in the same manner that it's happening on mine.

Ok, more info on this:

When I construct the link manually it works fine, so it must not be the "fb_cavas_destination" part, but there are a lot of other things that get encoded into the url like these:

session
session_key
secret
expires
access_token

Are these supposed to be included in the URL for a "edit" link in a view? When I use a php custom field and l() all of those parameters are not loaded into the URL and it's fine. I guess that's what I'll do.

here is my php code in the custom field

$options['query'] = "destination=view_i_came_from";
$edit_link = l("edit", "node/".$data->nid."/edit", $options);
echo $edit_link;

DFF is rewriting the URL query string to "fb_canvas_destination=view_i_came_from" correctly when on a canvas page.

Is DFF supposed to rewrite the application secret into the URL?
