Hi @MarcMcIntosh take a look at this article that I wrote about Grant. There you can find more detailed information about how to use it.

That was you?... nice, I've already read through it though... if i recall right some of the errors i got were.

provider.protocol = options.protocol||config.server.protocol
^
TypeError: Cannot read property 'protocol' of undefined

And face book saying that i was using an unauthorised url.... along with no redirect after the callback,

Thanks fo writing back so quick :)

Just to confirm where the config file says "key": "[APP_ID]", that's not a literal value is it? becauses i've been replacing the caps and brackets with my keys :/

If you take the most basic example all you need to do to configure Facebook is to set your app like this, the App ID and App Secret is what you paste in the config.json file as key and secret for Facebook. Ofc you have to add dummy.com 127.0.0.1 to your hosts file too, that's all.

Specifically Facebook allows http://localhost:3000 to be set as Site URL (which refers to the redirect URL) So if you set http://localhost:3000 in your Facebook app you will be able to initiate the flow from localhost in your web site like this http://localhost:3000/connect/facebook

Some providers doesn't allow localhost for redirect URL, that's why all of the examples are using dummy.com

ohh, that explains alot...
thanks :)

No problem, I'm closing this issue.
