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)

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.

Seems to be a problem with the redirects when registering, if you try and skip any part allowing facebook to set the username it goes to a script error page that includes the email too which is optional using this but it should be mandatory since its giving errors.

please help me i got several problems with my form after we changed the domain from (forum.rtarabic.com) to (arabic.rt.com/forum), and it looks like it's all related to FBconnect.
1. the fbconnect button is still linking to the old domain (see the attachment fbconnect.jpg)
2. we had a banner on the top of the forum which is gone now.
3. there is a scroll(horizon) bar at the bottom of the page which is not needed at all.

my questions are:
1. how can i change the url linked to FBconnect
2. how can i change the FBconnect style coordinates (in the source code there is #fb_hiddencontainer) if i change the "left=-10000" that removes the scroll bar.

PHP Code:

<div id="FB_HiddenContainer" style="position:absolute; top:-10000px; left:10000px; width:0px; height:0px;"> 


thanks in advance and i hope my english was good enough to explain the problem.

Does this work for version 4.1? I installed it but when I went to the site I got a blank page so I disabled it.

This stopped working for all vB Versions.... After Facebook had made changes! The addon for vB3.8 is in graveyard now.. I dont know why this is still here.. And about the FACEBOOK SDK, read my comment and do not download or install it! for the 3rd time I had users login into other users account. A Horrible BUG and its still not fixed...

Has this been solved by Facebook or has anybody found a solution?
Thanks
