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.

Go to the facebook website, login, and click on application settings. change the option there.

Does anyone have the profile picture feature working?

[Terminot]

I receive the following error when trying to connect via FB Plugin. Running the latest version.

De Facebook Connect cross-domain ontvanger URL (http://www.gamequarter.be/new/v4/forum/xd_receiver.ht) moet de juiste Connect URL (http://www.GameQuarter.be/new/v4/forum/xd_receiver.htm) van de toepassing als voorvoegsel hebben. Je kunt de Connect URL instellen in de toepassingsinstellingen editor.

Any ideas how to solve this? I've filled in the URL correctly on Facebook.

EDIT:

Changing the url on Facebook to *.ht fixed the issue. However, I'm sure this is not the correct solution?

Thank's sllik

Awesome plugin, just perfect and its great intergration. MARKED AS INSTALLED!!

Question:
When the facebook user posts, it goes into moderation. I adjusted their usergroup to be in the standard registered user group id:2 which is what the other people who use the forum are in. They are able to post without moderation. Any idea why this is happening?

edit: it seems you need to check the notification in your vbulletin account before it allows you to post without moderation.

I got it working, I had to change the allowable profile picture size to 300X300 to match the facebook profile picture. Works fine now.
