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.

you can revert your templates back to the default if need be. or just undo the manual edits made. Once the templates are defaulted.... just disable it.

This right here

Template: navbar

Find:
<!-- / login form -->

I dont have that!

A lot of the template edits, I cannot locate.

[GeorgeB85]

I keep getting this error and I cannot find over half the template edits!

it works with vb 3.6?

[fmckinnon]

Question for all of us who were loving this mod ... and of course, it no longer works ... what action did you take ... did you just install, and if so ... all those folks who used FBConnect to join your forums ... how are they logging in?

Did you move to an alternate product, and if so - what .. and can your existing FBConnect users login?

I have the same question. I desperately want to remove FB Connect... but how to our users continue to login?

does this work with VB4

[FreshFroot]

If vB4 has one.. I assume we can copy the integration code and use it for vB3.8
