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.

Did you try with a forward slash at the end? http://sundeviltalk.com/forums/

Did you upload the xd_receiver.htm file into your root forum directory?

I'm not sure if this means anything, but If you enter http://sundeviltalk.com/forums/xd_receiver.htm your site comes up. On my site the Addon is working and if you do http://Globalhockeynetwork.com/xd_receiver.htm you get a blank page.

not sure I know what you mean. I think my issues started because I'm using CMPS.

www.sundeviltalk.com is my CMPS page, www.sundeviltalk.com/forums are my forums

index.php and xd_receiver.htm are both in my root directory. but I'm not sure if there is some trype of conflict because I use CMPS.

I put, 'www.mysiteurl.com/forums/xd_receiver.htm' as my callback URL and it seems to have fixed all my problems.
