Troubleshooting
Server Requirements:
PHP 5

If you get an error:

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.

You think maybe you have something on your computer interfering with logging in? Spyware or something like that?

I highly doubt it. I'm on a OS that is barely a month old. and I can log in to all the other boards I post on.

my only problem (90% of the time) is when I click on connect with facebook, nothing happens.

The link is as it should be. It's not really linking to anything, just giving a place for users to click.

Have you had the same problem logging into FaceBook itself, without using FBConnect? Depending on your browser, infections can occur in only a matter of hours after connecting to the intenet.
