okay while i had this product disabled, Noone could post on the forum not ewen me as admin.

It said please lengthen your message to atleast 10 characters, which also is odd in itself.

So just notice when you disable this, i couldnt use the forum at all, only for viewing.
well it was the 2.0.3 version. :(

Upgraded to 2.0.4.

funny you mention that, i disabled it and i kept getting post too short error but when i went back and resubmitted it was ok.

There is no on off button for this I had to disable the plug ins too, ive upgraded to new one now hopefully this bug will be fixed in case it needs turning off in the future

Even with this Update i still get the same error as before.

I run 2 forums and I am getting this error on Both.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /home/***/public_html/includes/functions.php(5584) : eval()'d code on line 13

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /home/*****/public_html/includes/functions.php(5584) : eval()'d code on line 13

Its the settings in the facebook side took me ages to get it working

I got emails telling us to shut down this app now I have one saying I can restore it.
We use Facebook Connect 2.0.3 Do we need to update?

i believe you have to remove the changes that were made to the templates as well. they still make calls to facebook so disabling the product is not enough.


i made a style that had no FB Connect changes and made all other templates child styles. then when everything is fixed i move the child styles back to the parent that had all the changes.

just a guess but it sounds like one of your templates wasn't edited properly.

btw, it's a good practice to remove your user name from the full path to your directories when posting on public boards and stuff. ;)

Upgraded to 2.0.4 but when I click "News-Feed Templates" now in the admin CP, I get this error:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'FacebookRestClientException' with message 'Session key invalid or no longer valid' in /home/XXXXX/public_html/forums/includes/facebook/facebookapi_php5_restlib.php:2403 Stack trace: #0 /home/XXXXX/public_html/forums/includes/facebook/facebookapi_php5_restlib.php(672): FacebookRestClient->call_method('facebook.feed.g...', Array) #1 /home/XXXXX/public_html/forums/admincontrolp/fbconnect_registertemplates.php(87): FacebookRestClient->feed_getRegisteredTemplateBundles() #2 /home/XXXXX/public_html/forums/vbseo.php(1471): require('/home/XXXXX/p...') #3 {main} thrown in /home/XXXXX/public_html/forums/includes/facebook/facebookapi_php5_restlib.php on line 2403

Any ideas?

Ok, I think i have found the Problem.

On the facebook end i am getting an error when i set the callback URL

Validation failed.

Base Domain is not a valid domain.


So what am i doing wrong? I have entered my forum address in the box.. Including http://www. and a trailing /

Given that people have to choose a nickname they can still choose to hide their identity on the forum regardless of facebook settings. Only their facebook friends will know who is who on the forum - I like this.

I would like to see an option to participate, or opt out of using the facebook avatar. Using the facebook profile image should be optional, not forced. They choose to mask their identity by picking an obscure username and along with it might want to opt out of using their facebook profile image as an avatar.

Anyway - this is an absolutely fantastic hack and i love it. For now (until such option is available) can anybody share with me a way to stop my site using the facebook profile picture as an avatar? I wish to stop this for all users and just let it fall back to the forum default.

Thanks very much!
