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.

Indeed, I did leave something out during the copy&paste. Sorry for the bother.

In your Additional CSS Definitions, remove the last comma:

/* ***** small padding on 'thead' elements ***** */
td.thead, th.thead, div.thead { padding: 2px; }
td.tcat, div.tcat, { padding: 2px; }

Good job correcting those errors though. That will help you in the long run.

i corrected the problem.

scrolling driving me crazy!
the mod isnt working and this is happend only when plugin is enabled.

Double check the template edits you made during install and make sure their in the right places.

Thanks for this. Installed. Works great

[music legend]

anyone figure out a way to put it on another VB page other than forumhome (register.php where the rules are before they register) just so they have one more chance to click the facebook button before they register?

[jl255]

does this work on 3.8?

sidepoint: they need to invent a way to allow us to search for terms like '3.8'!!

[3DSJFH]

Won't you update this add-on so that template changes can be turned on/off via the admin panel rather than having to manually paste them scattered on different templates?

Thanks for the awesome add-on BTW.

Thanks for the addon.

When a story is posted to a users facebook page, it links them to the forum it's in rather than the thread itself. Not sure if this is an error or if it's meant to be this way. If anyone knows a way to link to the thread please say.

Hello,

I'd like to install this on my VB3.8 site which uses the excellent Template Modification System (TMS 1.1.5) mod.

Have anyone done the template edits with TMS? If so please can I have a copy of the rules

Im using MySQL 4.1.20-log will it still work?


Thanks
