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 am having problems in AdminCP - the Facebook links return this error message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/*********/public_html/includes/facebook/facebookapi_php5_restlib.php on line 2482

What does this mean and how can I fix it ??

EDIT ________________ I reuploaded the file and it works now

[gweb]

Installed on 3.8 and so far, works a treat!

[gweb]

OK - upon testing - I've come across my first problem:

When logged in through FBConnect - all of my non-forum site pages (VBAdvanced) state 'you do not have permissions to view this page' - etc etc (the generic message)

Why can a member signed in through FB only view the forum - but none of the other pages inside my VBAdvanced site will work..?

Any help is MUCH appreciated

* Quarantine Notification *

The following modification has had an exploit reported in it, and has been 'quarantined' by vBulletin.org.

I just got an email stating this about the v3.8 version. Anyone got any information on what the supposed exploit is

I know its such a stupid action, they give such a vague reason for quarantining it and then lock the thread so it can't be discussed. No doubt if the real reason was known it could be fixed ourselves but I'm not about to shut some of my users out of the forums without more details
