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.

Thanks sllik,

My glasses are broken and it's hard to read all the details without getting a headache. It's working quite work now. I picture this mod as the next big thing. Forum boards using social networks.

sllik, would you happen to know if this modification would affect the MediaWiki/vBulletin Single Sign-On? I notice we can't log in to our MediaWiki since I installed this one. I'd tried disabling FBConnect, but still couldn't log in. Just curious, I'd like to able to use both modifications.

Looks cool. Now is this server intensive? How many queries run?

Looks like reapplying my file edits fixed that problem. I guess it was just coincidence it went down around the same time I installed this.
