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.

On Sarafi, Opera and IE it won't work on the homepage for me, but works fine on any other page such as a thread or calendar etc.

Firefox it seems to be fine on all pages.

[ViciousCode]

is there a way to add the code

<!-- fbconnect -->
<center>
<a href="#" onclick="facebook_requestSession(); return false;">
<img id="fb_login_image" src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/images/fbconnect/login-buttons/connect_light_medium_long.gif" border="0" alt="Connect"/>
</a>
</center>
<!-- / fbconnect -->

to the main website, so the user can login from the main website that is non-vb

[tormodg]

Occasionally I only get the page mydomain.com/fblogin.php and a blank page (using any browser). I notice a significant drop in traffic from using this plugin, yet not a single user has signed up using it (except me) - so it must be interfering with something.

Edit: The update to 1.1.1 seems to fix this problem.

However the login does not trigger when used in for example the vB Links Directory, as here:
http://hypography.com/links/
