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.

Ok redirecting issue has been resolved but now it's not showing me a logged in. I can still see vb's default login option. looks like it's detecting me a spider or something. Tried in firefox, opera, google chrome.

Also when I try to go to those users profile who created their account using facebook, getting this db error;

Installed this. After connecting my existing account to facebook, it seems that I am getting an update to every new post in facebook.

A user has joined via Facebook:

Checking their account, their email was listed as:

apps+104473615303.1585448896.a522d2cc83144e13ef83d b87725c578d@proxymail.facebook.com

Furthermore, joining this way they do not have to add personal details as per forum rules, so seems they can bypass normal forum security.

Also this presents a database error, for this user when clicking their username, unfortunately meaning we must now delete this user.

DB error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.7.4:

Invalid SQL:

			SELECT MAX(dateline) AS lastpost, COUNT(*) AS total
			FROM yobromofusernote AS usernote
			WHERE userid =;
