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.

It was removed by staff, because your not supposed to offer paid services out side of the Paid Services forum. Your jumping the gun based on nothing but a moderator edit.

sorry, but with the recent fraud claims going on around .org. i got a bit nervous. I did say i would give him till this evening to contact me, lol

And remember it's New Years. People are just getting back from the Holidays.

yah um... definetly jumping the gun... give silk some time man... you can usually find fraud from the paid services forum... not someone frauding customers of his own mod... and it still is the holidays for alot of peeps till jan.5th...

anyhow.. silk has been good so far... so just be patient...

fraud and vb.org is another story all together and they have failed to crack down on it in the other forums... vb.org doesn't publish fraudsters and have took the stance of "there are two sides of story"... not sure if they are still singing that song but that discussion is for another forum...

ltz~

so anyway i went to your site and saw that you have it installed. how is it working for you? I noticed you made mention of a few bugs. i see it on frontpage but when i goto register, the option to use facebook is not there

[Digital Jedi]

Only one I ever encountered was a redirect issue when logging in that has since been fixed in one of the past upgrades.

what about the fact that when i go to register to your site i dont see the facebook option?
