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.

I've gotten FB connect with Vbull, and now I'd like to integrate FB connect fully with the rest of my site, so I can have feeds published from other actions on my site.

Has anyone accomplished this successfully using the files installed on the forum?

So far, I have added the appropriate connect tags to my common footer (outside of vbull):

<!-- fbconnect -->
<script type="text/javascript">

<!--
	var bburl = FORUM_URL;
//-->
</script>

<script src="http://static.ak.connect.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/FeatureLoader.js.php" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script src=FORUM_URL+"/clientscript/fbconnect.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
	// Main Facebook Connect Javascript Initialization

	FB.init(API_ID, "/forum/xd_receiver.htm"); 
//-->
</script>
<!-- / fbconnect -->

- Show quoted text -

I am able to have people login, but I have not been able to have users publish feeds. This is what I've tried, when users submit a form - onsubmit="on_load()":

<script>
function on_load() = function { 
var template_data = {"blah":"blah"};
FB.Connect.showFeedDialog(142926675440, template_data, null, null, null, FB.RequireConnect.promptConnect); 
}

The publish feed window pops up, but it is blank. Am I missing something here?
