* registered default templates and saved settings
* edited required templates.

I would appreciate if you could tell me what's wrong instead of telling it *Should* work.

thanks in advance

obviously, you didn't, otherwise it would work.
Contact the other to have it done professionally. I've done this on countless servers, countless setups, and as long as the requirements are met, and the instructions are followed, the system works.

I've told you what the error means. If you can't understand the instructions, then you need to have it professionally installed.

And what setting would cause this? I did a search and found no answer

@wolfstream, I installed this correctly, and as I said before everything worked perfectly upon installation.

However, after the initial connection from facebook, users are having trouble reconnecting at a later times. It acts like you are connecting and shows that your active on the forum but when you try to reply to a post it asks you to login.

I uninstalled the mod and reinstalled. Once I reinstalled it started to work perfectly again, and same story as previous after a few hours.

Also, should users be able to connect via the facebook canvas page as well as directly from the forum? It seems like all this trouble started when I tried to connect from the canvas page.

Thanks.

Riley, I checked out your canvas page. It seem like you have a typo in your footer file.

<!-- fbconnect -->

Hope that helps...

we will probably be paying to have this done this evening or tomorrow...

But my members main concern is will it be possible for their family or friends to see our website without registering or any info they share in our forums and so forth?

I'd like to know before I get this professionally installed. Thanks.

The facebook connect option doesn't control whether or not your guests will be able to see the site, or their information, your forum permissions do.

So, basically, if your permissions don't allow it now, they won't allow it after the plugin.

Thanks so much.

So if I have it installed and my members use it on their FB, their family and friends on their lists won't see the threads and all on the FB wall or info. I hope Im explaining this right. I just want to confirm, we really want this hack and almost all of us use FB, obviously.

THAT is incorrect

This plugin works like any other facebook app does. When action is made, it is posted on their wall, IF they've given permission to do so.

That permission can be revoked in the facebook side of things.

Now, the information passed on to facebook is very minimal, such as 'x user replied to x topic', or 'x user created x topic', and permission is asked every time before this is done. The end user (their relatives, friends, etc) still needs to come to the forum to view the topic and still needs to abide by forum permissions on said topic.

Thanks so much! Sending payment pronto! :)
