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.

EDIT*** Correction. As long as your addon is enabled, the grabber won't work. Regardless if someone is connected normally without a Facebook account or not. Nutz!!

I could take a look at it tomorrow... no promises though

Update: I can get the login pop up in the shop, calendar, and blog areas. Can't get it to pop up on the homepage and arcade though.

Works on Google Chrome on any page...not IE though. Gonna try Firefox.

[nascartr]

Same on Firefox as IE. Only pops up on certain pages.

That would be great. I would donate for your trouble (and a great addon) if you could fix it.

Double checked with Google Chrome and I can't get the login popup to come up on the arcade and home page.

My site works fine for the popups. In IE 7 however, I do get this JS error (no idea what it means)

That's weird, I seem to have a similar issue.

The facebook connect thing pops up fine in FF as far as I can see but on Opera and IE it doesn't pop up on all pages (for example it doesn't work on the homepage.) Could it be vbSEO causing a problem?

Other than that, works great!
