facebook redirect url contents

Ok, a new phase of my project rewriting our FB App for the new v4 PHP SDK. What should the redirectUrl look like? Currently, what happens during the login flow:

1) I create a FacebookRedirectLoginHelper (derived class), use it to generate the loginUrl with the url to my app (example.com/myApp) as the redirectUrl.

2) Put that into a nice button for the user to click

3) On user click, the FB Oauth dialog comes up, user clicks ok

4) My next page (which will connect the facebook UID to an account in our system) comes up - but not within the context of Facebook - basically, it breaks out of the iFrame.

I have set the redirectUrl to be the Url of my application:

https://example.com/myapplication/index

Looking through various comments, it seems like it ought to be the Canvas Page url from my app settings:

https://apps.facebook.com/<my app id>

But if I do that, it goes into an infinite loop of just putting up my nice button (from #2) over and over and...

What should be the value for the redirectUrl?

Assuming you are creating a canvas app, users will not see your callback URL. But you should put the URL on your website that fits into the facebook canvas.

E.G.

http://www.example.com/facebook/yourappname/
