Staff Note: Moved to Graveyard - this will never work now that the old style facebook authentication is no longer available.
Facebook Connect
This add-on allows your guests and existing users to login with their Facebook account through Facebook Connect.
There is NO NEED to upgrade or reinstall if you already installed this mod for 3.7
Upgrade to 2.0.6 so that users with the new super long IDs will be able to login.
This mod conflicts with PhotoPost vBGallery! Quick fix:

Troubleshooting Server Requirements:
PHP 5
If you get an error:
Code:
The Facebook Connect cross-domain receiver URL http://www.SITEURL.com/xd_receiver.h...%220.699%22%7D must have the application's callback URL http://www.SITEURL.com/forums/ as a prefix. You can configure the callback URL in the application's settings.
Means that there is something wrong with your callback URL. Your callback URL must be where xd_receiver.htm is; so when you enter [callbackurl]/xd_receiver.htm into your browser you should see a blank page (not a 404 page not found error or anything else).
If you get a continues this means there is a javascript error. Make sure you've done all the template edits correctly (especially footer & navbar). Clear your cache and reload the page.
If nothing happens when you click the Facebook Connect button make sure your callback url domain is the same as you forum domain (the one set in your forum settings) - more specifically make sure that there is a www (or isn't) in both domains.
Many more features may be implemented in the future so keep checking for updates.

1.With this mod, when someone logs in with their facebook information, does this mod/product create a new account on the site based on their facebook login?
2. When a user is already registered on my site, will they still be able to login with their facebook information? And if the answer to number 1 is a yes, then what if an existing user logs in with his facebook login, will it create a new one?
I'm having some issues with the Data Mapping. I've set the location to location, avatar to Profile Picture (100x300) and have set the usergroup permissions to allow avatar uploads and have a max of 300x300 size. I also have another thing that I designed myself that works off of a facebook username and mapped the Facebook UID to my "Facebook Username" profile field.
However... not a single one of these transfers over from facebook. I've tried on two different accounts and have deleted / recreated these accounts on my website to continue testing, but still no progress.
