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.

i found the scrolling problem.

ONLY when i remove:

<!-- fbconnect -->
$fbconnect_init
<!-- / fbconnect -->

from the footer, the scrolling is gone..
but then the script give me continues loading image.

the question is whats common between Lang Hebrew2 and footer?
Jedi, i thought about something.. where is another place besides footer that i can place it to work ?

Hi,

Connection with facebook works great, but i cant publish a "New Thread" or "Quick Replay".

If i try to write a new post, it is like if the post is without text (The message you have entered is too short...).
If i try to write a quick replay i publish the message "Please click one of the Quick Reply icons in the posts above to activate Quick Reply."

I have installed another products, but i "disable" all of them to the test.

If i use a template no edited, all works perfect (except facebook connection, of course)

Anyone with the same problem? any idea? (if you need more info just tell me)

Thanks and greatings from spain.

I seem to have an error that has gone un-noticed on this thread.

When I click the button, its just linked to # and it doesn't do anything.
How do I solve?

make sure you callback url and your forum url are the same. Also setup the base domain setting under the facebook application settings (under the connect tab). Whats your forum url?

Another suggestion for you Silik. I have a private moderator's forum that still publishes/offers to publish the contents of a new thread or reply onto my wall. I know I could easily deny the activity to be published, but would be great in the future to exclude certain forums' activities from having news feeds published.

Any news on the new registrations not showing up on the memberlist or being searchable in the admin cp? Again, great work.

Cheers, Stuart

Fantastic Work with this sllik!

I installed this mod and it works well on the first try. Good job! A couple of questions...

EDIT its only happening with avatars in the posts, their avatars are correct on the memberlist.

I have the same issue. I logged in with my account with no Facebook picture. I then had friend test the login and his avatar came up. He then changed his avatar. Then, I noticed in posts that I had his old avatar associated with my posts. This is a bug.

Yes, I'd like to exclude certain forums. I don't want threads that I post in the admin area being sent over to Facebook.
