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.

Your site gives off a javascript error when I visit it. Probably something in your headinclude is not right, not necessarily related to the mod you just added.

A Line 2196 sytntax error, and one that says bburl is not defined on Line 12. Sounds like you've made some copying and pasting errors somewhere.

I've managed to successfully install this mod on two of my forums running 3.7.4 and 3.8.0 respectively, however, I've tried to add this to another one which uses 3.7.0 and even though the Facebook Connect button appears, nothing happens when I click it.

I've gone over the template edits THREE TIMES and everything is fine and I've also tried removing javascripts from my HEADINCLUDE file one at a time to see if there are any conflicts - however, whatever I do, it won't come up with the popup window.

Can someone help here? I'm tearing my hair out!
