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 have having an odd problem I am sure some of you might be having as hell. I was having the "message too short" problem but I think I fixed it by resetting my secret code in facebook and updating it on my forums. Now I am having an issue with the newsfeed. Everytime I make a post or reply and it asks me if I want to publish on facebook everytime I press a button lik "Never Publish" or Always Publish it doesn't respond. Then if I close the box it sends the message. Hm? Also does it with the regular "Publish" "Skip"
I just also read through some posts in the 3.7 version topic for this hack and noticed a few people asking for the option in the ACP to exclude certain forums completely from being published to the news feed.
I'd like to also make this request!
For the time being I'm going to keep the news feed option turned off because of the privacy issue, we have too many private forums which I don't want to risk going to the news feed - even some of the topic titles can be too personal.
But hoping to be able to let our members use it soon if a future version has this change
Thanks Sllik for such a fantastic hack, I've voted it for MOTM
Hi Sllik,
Just wondering if this idea has been considered? It hasn't been acknowledged yet on your part as far as I am aware, so would love to know if its an upcoming feature... or at least a possibility for one.
