I have already implemented facebook login/signup on a site, using a combination of the Javascript and PHP SDKs. I remember that the review process took about a day or two. That was for a brand new site.

Now I need to add the same functionality to another site that exists and currently has hundreds of visitors per day. I have already implemented the changes and it works fine in sandbox mode but here's my question:

When I upload the new code, and until the facebook app is reviewed and accepted, there will be two buttons "login with facebook" and "signup with facebook" that will not be operational. This might confuse some users and have a negative impact on the perceived credibility of the site. These buttons need to be on the same screen next to the standard email/password forms.

Is there something I can do about this? Can I hide the buttons from the general population until the app is reviewed? Is there some specific GET parameter that the testers send to the server to know that a request is for review purposes? What do other web developers do in this situation?

    I don't get it. How is the review process (do you mean the [Open Graph Submission Process](http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/submission-process/) or the [App Center review](http://developers.facebook.com/docs/appcenter/guidelines/)?) interrelated with the [Facebook login](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/getting-started-web/) or [registering with Facebook](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/registration/)? Could you please reiterate on this a little more? – borisdiakur Jul 25 '13 at 12:25
  • @Lego OK thanks for the links, I think I see now why I was confused. Last time I created an app that let you do login/signup and also posted on users' walls. Maybe that's why I had to go through the review process? What you're saying is that for simple login/signup without post permissions or otherwise modifying the graph I won't have to go through any review process? If that's so, please write your answer below so I can accept it. Also, I didn't know about the registration plugin. Thanks. – alexg Jul 25 '13 at 13:10
  • Only if you want to use (custom) Open Graph actions in your app, you have to get those approved by Facebook first. For a simple login with Facebook feature there’s no review necessary. – CBroe Jul 26 '13 at 10:34

If you just want to implement a Facebook Login for Web or a user registration by using the Facebook registration plugin, you won't need to go through any review process.
