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.

Great modification, but it didn´t work in our board.

I had change the things and create the app - it seems to be right, i could accept the app-permission-window, if i click on the "connect with facebook" button, then i could set an username and then a http 500 error follows - what could i do? Does anyone know this problem and could tell me a way to fix it?

Thanks

Can you let me know what you done to any specific files to get the registration logo to appear and actually work?

My forum just shows a loading animation trying to load the script but nothing actually works... and i need this working...

If any 1 else knows another alternative facebook connect mod that does the exact same thing then msg me.. :up:

Hi all guys..
I just would like to know if someone encountered some problems with bots.. i mean.. i've not installed this mod yet, so i want to ask you before
I'm worried because we had many problems with bots recently, so i would like to avoid any type of problem with registration.

Is the plugin vbstopforumspam working even if this mod is active?
Thank you in advance

I just installed it on my site. Went smooth. I tested it also. Connected myself with Facebook just fine.

I installed this on a site and my members are reporting the following issue:

I am having a facebook popup issue. When I try to post something on the forum, I get a pop up message saying something about trying to post on facebook and then the only choice I have is OK or to close the window with the X in the right hand corner. I don't want to post on facebook, so I always close with the X. Is there any way we can disable this for the entire forum. I know others might be getting this error as well. It is annoying to say the least.

Is there a fix for this? I've had to disable this hack.
