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.

i did all the upgrades and followed the steps, but nothing is coming up. i don't see the facebook connect when logged out on the navbar.

[yinyang]

ok, i changed the usergroup permission for unregistered so no forums can be viewed. in this case, i see the facebook connect logo, but when i click on it, nothing happens.

the Facebook Connect library doesn't support PHP4

[Wakey]

Even with the upgrade done I am still getting the error I was when you click the login button

Please if someone could look at the attached image and give me som clues as to what might be causing this problem I would really appreciate it. I have spent hours upon hours trying to sort it, including completly reinstalling the forum.

I never had the login problem, but the error is still there.

Im attaching a TMS file for all the latest template edits. Just to to your Template Modification Mangaer and import this file. Feel free to add it with your zip file

Good to see existing users can now use the feature! I notice the created user has the facebook app email address. Any way we can get their proper email address in that field?

That would be great.

[jlew24asu]

this is getting unbearably frustrating. what is my callback URL??

Invalid Argument
The Facebook Connect cross-domain receiver URL (http://sundeviltalk.com/xd_receiver....%220.755%22%7D) must have the application's callback url (http://sundeviltalk.com/forums/xd_receiver.htm) as a prefix. You can configure the callback url in the application's settings.

[macc]

your callback url is http://sundeviltalk.com/forums
