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.

Does it copy the email address correctly, because I installed this mod before and it didn't copy the email address correctly. Maybe the latest release has this fixed. Has it?

Waiting the Devloper to fix the errors in this product .

Perhaps OP could update first post with a list of incompatible mods?
I think I saw somewhere that this mod does not compatible with some other mods.

I need to know this prior installing.

Any chance that in a future update the forum rules are displayed (as per the normal registration process) and must be agreed to before the users gets to the page to choose a login name?

Are you able to ban Facebook Connect users from your VBulletin website? I would like the banning process to work the same for Facebook Connect users as it does for users who register normally thru our VBulletin website.

Can you ban Facebook Connect users from your VBulletin site the same way that you do users who go thru the normal registration process?

Thanks!

Does anyone know if you can use the VBulletin "banning" feature on Facebook Connect users? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

This must be a really stupid question as I'm the first to ask it Where specifically should I upload the contents of the "upload" file?

"Step#2 - Upload the nessesary files."

I would love to pay the developer to set it up for me, but it seems he has gone M.I.A

Can you ban Facebook Connect users from your website if they create spam? I have been trying to get an answer for this. Any information that you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
