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.

Ok - I have my vbulletin site display inside the Facebook site and I'm using the New Facebook skin. I have some mods to make to the skin (to narrow it down) and I have to add some code to this mod to set the skin to "New FacebooK' to automatically set the style when someone access the site from facebook, but I'm sure I can take care of all of this in the next few days and I'll post exactly how I did it to enable other users to have their site display inside of facebooj without having to leave the facebook website.

sorry I have a question:

If a user is already registered is the forum vb and facebook, he makes the logon with both users?

In this way the same person will have 2 different users on the forum with a different number of post, etc?

can not access the forum with account of Facebook only users not registered in the vb?

these users are not registered in the vb, but accessing the account with facebook, will result in counting the total number of users of the forum?

Thanks

I've had 2 users that when they used the fb connect, they got into my account instead of it creating a separate account for them?

Anyone else seeing this issue?

Is there a fix for this?

[robbiefritz]

I feel that I did everything that was asked but when clicking on the FB button, nothing happens at all. Any suggestions?

Edit: OK so after following the directions that stated NOT to put a www. on the Connect url, I read the note above

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.

May be a good idea to modify the instructions next time around to eliminate a lot of headache. Nice mod otherwise.
