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.

You do not have permission to access this document.

Which is strange, as I am ususally able to modify templates.

Any ideas..?

I have no idea... it's a problem on your server

You might want to set your folder permission to 777

ok just a few little things..........

i resolved the problem on my site which was this................. my forum url is

www.tabletennistalk.co.uk

my problem was the url for some reason (which does not affect the site in anyway) sometimes in the browser has the www missing of the path so obviously the /xd_receiver.htm wasnt found at times.

nevertheless that works when path is ok

question: i am concerned that it is easy or rather to easy for existing members just to add a name when connecting to facebook for example using another name and then being that person on the site.............in other words two usernames on site ? if that makes sense. i tried this myself as connecting with facebook asking me if i want to use another name which i did and allowed me to meaning i suddenly become the person on site ? which means i created a new user aswell as myself which we obviously do not want to happen ..........all sound complicated but im hoping you see where im coming from on this .......... very easy to have multiple logins

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in [path]/includes/functions_login.php on line 332
