Troubleshooting Server Requirements:
PHP 5
If you get an error:
Code:
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.

Ok, forgive me if this has been covered already. I searched for 'merge' in this thread and I am not understanding the process.
I have this mod installed on my site and it seems to be working fine. However, I need to know the exact procedure to merge my existing users.
I assume when merge user is mentioned, that you mean to:
1) Have the user login using facbook connect and let facebook connect create a new user.
2) Use the AdminCP function under Users > Merge User to merge that user to their facebook user created by facebook connect.
My main question is, if I want my user to maintain their user ID, will setting the Source user as the Facebook user and the destination user as the existing user work?
Or do I not have the procedure right? if not, can you explain in detail the procedure or point me to the post that describes this procedure?
Thank you
You don't have to do anything. Have the users click Connect with FaceBook and when they're asked what screename they'd like to use, they'll be given the option to use their existing account.
