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.

How do I edit the templates?

[Capper5016]

Is there a way to prevent private forums from showing up on the Facebook pages? We have a "board room", where we discuss site issues and various problems......I happened to check out my FaceBook page, and there was some very sensitive information posted in public for everyone to see.

This is a must!

I've been able to do it with <if> conditions around the code and it all works apart from if you click preview post and then submit (on the quick reply it works perfectly).

Hey, got an issue. Hopefully it is a small one.

I click on the Facebook connect Icon and enter my email address and password. The very next screen is blank in the registration process.

Any ideas?
