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.

This goes for both FF and IE

Depending on your callback url - if your callback url is http://yoursite.com/ then to use this mod you need to go to http://yoursite.com and vice versus.

On my site I have http://www.globalhockeynetwork.com/ as the callback url so if I go to my site using http://www.globalhockeynetwork.com everything works.

If I use http://globalhockeynetwork.com - I get the error in the attachment.

Check out this page to set rewrites in your .htaccess file to automatically direct to one or the other

soulface, you are brilliant!

I now remember i deleted the footer fron the standard_error page because I didn't like the formatting of it. So now, I just entered the fb code for the footer onto that page and it works.

Thanks!

Actually, turning off both

"New (IEN) Thread Reply Notification
Send a Facebook notification to the user when there is a new reply to a thread that the user is subscribed to with instant email notification?"
and
"New Subscribed Thread Reply Notification
Send a Facebook notification to the user when there is a new reply to a thread that the user is subscribed to?"

seems to stop members from getting a notification on every reply.
Either option doesn't appear to be doing what is advertised as the user should only get a notification to subscribed threads, right?
