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.

So that people can goto their facebook profile or in our case to view the public area of their Facebook Game account. It currently has to be done by the user manually, some people have trouble working out what their Facebook id is though (facebook users arent always the most computer literate)

Oh and additionally how do I change the Facebook connect buttons back, those AJAX ones with the loading bars are causing major trouble for some people. The plain graphics were much better (might be useful if you could have an option in admin to set either to the Ajax ones or the plain image ones)

has anyone figured out the white page thing? --why when I click News-Feed Templates I just get a white page?

Has anyone used there professional intsall? if so , what was your outcome?

question: what happens to current users who have facebook? will there sign ins work with there current info and there facebook info? Or will they have to use there facebook info from the time its is installed? Also will you go back and redo it when you add updates?

What was removed was the offering of paid services. The removal of the instructions where just collateral damage.
