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*** Correction. As long as your addon is enabled, the grabber won't work. Regardless if someone is connected normally without a Facebook account or not. Nutz!!

Did anyone notice that the 'publish' button on the popup that comes up when you post a message has stopped working?

It also used to ask you if you wanted a single line or not - that is gone

No ideas on how to fix the error with users unable to connect with an existing username?

I am wondering this as well. I am on 3.8.1

muratyamac - I think the canvas is irrelevant, doesn't matter ... doesn't ever really show a page or anything - it's not meant to be viewed that way. From what I'm reading here and the other thread, this mod is not working for anyone until some updates come out - this since the most recent FB update last week.

We put together a fix for the user issue. There was an var mapfp that was not being set.

We changed the Map FB User to:

if (!empty($_POST['fbuid']))
{
	require_once('./includes/facebook/facebook.php');

	if ($vbulletin->facebook == null)
		$vbulletin->facebook = new Facebook($vbulletin->options['fbconnect_apikey'], $vbulletin->options['fbconnect_secret']);
		
	$fbuid = intval($vbulletin->facebook->get_loggedin_user());

	if ($fbuid > 0 && intval($_POST['fbuid']) == $fbuid)
	{
		//map fbuser to vbuser
		$vbulletin->db->query_write("
			INSERT IGNORE INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "fbuser
				(fbuid, userid)
			VALUES
				(" . $fbuid . ", " . intval($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']) . ")
		");
	}
}

Unfortunately there is another issue that the fb breaks all the AJAX functions. None of the ajax stuff works so I added the lines:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
// Main vBulletin Javascript Initialization
vBulletin_init();
//-->
</script>

back in to fix this

But there is an error with facebook which we cannot resolve that breaks the publish newsfeed functionality.

Is this for resolving "associating existing user accounts"?
Is the original coder helping?
