I have it installed. I set the settings but when I go to the News Feed Templates, I get this:

There's a difference between criticism and ignorance. I have no problem with criticism, but can not stand ignorance. Your comments were based on ignorance of the mod, and how it works. I understand you use the mod, and are looking to make it better, but not understanding how the mod works is no reason to try to take it down.

This happens when you haven't met the requirements.
You can not run this with php4 anywhere on the server. Even if you're running both php4 and php5, it won't work.

Lastly, this shouldn't need to be said, but, apparently it does:

I am not the developer of this mod. Please do not pm me for free help. I do provide assistance here in the thread when I can, and for issues that I can help with, but I can not provide free support via PM for another person's mod.

I only say that because I've received numerous requests over the past few days requesting me to "test their mod", "help for free", or "respond to posts". I'm not the developer here. While I am interested in the future of this mod, I can not provide free private support for someone else's mod, when they won't even do it themselves

lol, now im getting called ignorant. alright dude, thats cool. good luck to you then.
anyway, if that actual developer of this mod reads my posts please take the consideration into some of the suggestions i made as to how it can be further improved in an updated version. its a good mod, deserves mod of the month but it could use more improvements. thanks.

well it's a good thing I didn't ask you. hmm. alright then.

Wrong
I said your post was ignorant, as it is. I never said you were ignorant.

As far as your requests:
All you have to do is look at the mod, and understand it to see that what you're after is already there (sans the email, which is going to be rather hard, if not impossible, to do, given that Facebook doesn't actually give out email addresses). I understand you're new at using it, but that doesn't mean that what you're after isn't already there, as I pointed out.

If you had to deal with the number of requests (5-10/day) for 'free' support, you'd do something too. I'm happy to help out in this thiread, but at some point, common sense must come into play. MOST people respect the fact that I do what I do here for this mod for nothing, but there are a few that just can't understand that and push the point.

Yesterday the mod was installed on my forum by the developer. I paid the $25, he was responsive and the mod was installed in a timely manner. No problems so far and it seems to be working fine. Very nice mod in my opinion.

The dev is STILL supporting this privately, it just takes a while, and after providing public support for this product as I have, I can understand why.

Here's something new and interesting that may cause a problem with this product. If someone could test and confirm, I'd be greatly appreciated:

It would appear that if you've got the thread (reply/qr/etc) template mods installed, at least temporarily, that your users will not be able to make replies or new threads. I woudln't say this is a permament thing at all, because it appears to be on facebook's end.

How did I verify/find this?

Well, with two themes on the forum, both working 100% an hour ago, the forum stopped allowing posts or threads.

I took one of the themes, reversed the newreply/newthread mods , and that one suddenly allows posts/threads.

How to fix this?

Download the mod, and reverse the newthread/newreply/showthread mods.

Alternatively, you can just wait for facebook to fix it, if they can.

Again, this is just my testing for now, if someone could confirm this is actually a problem at this time (could be resolved in an hour, a half hour, etc), it'd be nice to know.

The last issue I reported seems to have cleared up, with no help from me, so this is definitely a facebook thing.

Just keep that in mind if you have the mod installed. This CAN affect posting abilities, maybe not so often, and maybe not too long, but it CAN affect them.

I see this area has calmed down a bit. First of all, I paid the small fee to have the author install this on our system. It worked perfectly. We were really happy with it... as with most of the mods on this board it was free. Free software is great and I appreciate it.
Now in post 851 I posted:

Facebook Connect staff:
We've had this on our site, www.stangsofsouthflorida.com/forum for quite sometime and has worked perfectly. Recently users are complaining that the request to post message pops up every time now. There is no option to shut it off, accept just once. Did something change of Facebook... I only work on this forum occasionally as it is pretty basic and runs itself. I have made no updated or changes to the forum software.


I was wondering if there was ever a solution to this somewhere...
Thanks

bposner:

This is the way the system should have always handled things. When a thread or reply is posted, the user should be given the popup to post it to facebook. It hasn't happened every time before?

Realistically, there's no other way to do this one except turn it off permamently (via their usercp).
