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 installed everything but it appears I'm encountering some bugs.

1. Initially when I typed my Facebook login, I incorrectly entered my password. I was told, however, that my cookies were disabled.

2. Once Connected, I tried to use my current account. I logged in, but everything was as if I had just logged in normally without Facebook at all.

3. I logged out and Connected again. This time, I just chose a name and submitted. The popup, asking about publishing a story, then froze. I could click the checkbox but couldn't click a button. Finally I got this error.

Safari can’t open the page “http://www.myhybridcar.com/forums/fblogin.php” because the server where this page is located isn’t responding.

The Javascript error was the following.

TypeError: Result of expression '$('feedform_user_message')' [null] is not an object.

Why might these problems be happening? Thanks.

Log into Facebook, Go to Settings, Click on Developer (not edit, acutally click the word developer), Then in the My Applications box, you should see your app, click it then click edit settings

It also used to ask you if you wanted a single line or not - that is gone

I just installed the mod for the first time and I can log in with my facebook account no problem. But the Publish button does not work. You can't click it and it's this way in every browser.

Same for me since Facebook changed skin......

2.0.5 is out, which resolves the 'publish' button not working:

that version is the same as the 3.7 version as far as I can tell.
