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.

EDIT: and update the template bundle ids in the settings (which are avilable in: FB Connect Options -> News-Feed Templates)

Uploaded the XML file, deactivated the old templates, and added the default templates again, but I'm still getting the error;

Application response error

Invalid template bundle id specified: 46946400000. You can see this because you are one of the developers of the app.

make sure the ids in the settings are the same as ids in FB Connect Options -> News-Feed Templates

I've been following this thread from day 1 and still plan to install it and contribute to sllik once it is a little more stable.

One thing that would help in following this thread is if sllik would, in the original post, put what has been changed in each iteration or version. That way we could know specifically what has been corrected/updated/changed.

Thanks for keeping working on this. I look forward to installing it soon!

Does the user have the option to turn off feeds posting to their wall? Would like to have it on by default then give the person the option to remove...

yeah, they can say "remember this option" when they're asked if it's ok to post on their wall.

I don't know, I installed the day it was first released and have not had any problems other then a redirect issue. Different people are getting different problems, some are getting none. I'm sure there's some user error involved in some of these template edits.
