• Replies to a thread
• Creates a new thread

Fetch user data from Facebook
Fetch data like name, location, profile picture and use it on your forums! (NOTE: Some data may not be available for some users)

Automatically befriend user's friends
If any of the user's friends are also registered on the forum, they will automatically be friends!

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.

there is a rate limit. It will stop working for some profiles and continue working for others.
No idea what this limit is.

I just ran into the same issue, it looks like it is a "bug" in the mod... The author is using short opening tags in a couple files.

PHP Code:

<? instead of <?php

Check if short_open_tag is turned off in your php.ini... if it is off, if you can turn it on and see if that fixes things for you otherwise change the first line of
/fblogin.php from

PHP Code:

<?

to

PHP Code:

<?php

also change
/includes/functions_fbconnect.php

PHP Code:

<?

to

PHP Code:

<?php

Good luck.
