Troubleshooting Server Requirements:
PHP 5
If you get an error:
Code:
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;
I think the problem occurs because you guys ask for the user's birthday during registration. I'll try to get a fix out soon, but I would suggest you disable this mod for now

No problems, will do.
Yes we do ask for user birthday, due to coppa rulings.
Would it not be easier for a facebook user, to gain access to a special JOIN form, that is essentially our normal register form, minus username and password bit... surely the db would be propogated with site required db fields for traditional user registration then.

The thing is that users under the age of 13 are not allowed to register with facebook anyways, so there is no need for age verification.
Okies, I mentioned about 400 posts ago.. i dont do facebook lol.
Thanks anyway mate, our users seemed to enjoy it ( as no one had complained ) until new users began registering lol
when I tried to register to your forum using the connect with facebook, nothing happened. clicking on it, literally nothing happens. (im using firefox)
Outstanding addon.... the only thing I can see missing is pulling in userdata to the profile (to make the synced account have a bit more real info about the person... would be especially useful since most people take the time to fill out their facebook profiles)
also i might have missed this but once your facebook and vbulletin account are synced is there a place where individual users can go to opt in or opt out out of the new post/thread writing to their wall feature. i would want to turn it on but i would imagine some of our people would not want their facebook accounts overrun with vbulletin postings.
i read through the whole thread but have yet to install it but i probably will soon.
