Staff Note: Moved to Graveyard - this will never work now that the old style facebook authentication is no longer available.

Userinfo Merge

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.

I'm having the same problem as TriMe did when he installed this mod and already had the FB contact grabber. It has something to do with having to FB libraries installed and you have to comment out something on one of them but I can't figure it out. Can you please tell him what you did for TriMe so I can fix mine too.
It was working fine for me I love it and so do my members - I hired the dev to install and he was there to do it and he couldnt have forseen fb making an internal change the way they did so Im sure he'll fix it
thats my opinion - I have 250 monthly users now so I see this as invaluable and because its so new, you have to cut some slack - its something someone made for free!
i'm glad sillk is still maintaining the mod and finding out why some of the features aren't working. again, he is doing it for free and we have to realize that.
I hope some of the major problems are fixed soon. I'm very excited about having a facebook presence.
hey gang,
I'm posting here, too - same problems and issues, didn't realize they were affecting everyone since the FB update . .I'm following this 3.7 thread and the 3.8 thread, as I have it installed on both, different forums ... looking forward to a patch or update that will resolve it.
What I did was go through all the Facebook Connect Templates looking for calls to FB.Connect.showFeedDialog
Inside all those functions I changed FB.FeedStorySize.oneLine to null. Its not ideal as it now wants to post short stories rather than the one line ones but its a temp fix that works
hey there can you possibly explain this in a bit more detials for dummies so I can get it patched until its fixed? thanks in advance!

Just do a search in the Facebook Connect templates for the term FB.Connect.showFeedDialog
Anywhere that appears in the templates replace it with the term null
Rather than posting a one line story this will make it post a short story, a short story is the one line story proceeded by a comment from you (Which you get to choose when publising the story). You can ofc leave the comment blank and it will post like a normal short story.
It seems there is a problem with the news-feeds after the last facebook update. There is nothing I can do about it, but facebook IS aware of the issue and hopefully they'll fix it soon.
I would suggest you guys disable the news-feeds in your vbconnect settings (set Enable Feeds to No) for now.
Seems to be working for me. When I post the thread appears as a story on facebook.
