Troubleshooting
Server Requirements:
PHP 5

If you get an error:

Code:

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.

Is this supported for VB 4? I was using it on VB 3.8 but now I want to upgrade but dont want to lose all of my facebook people

Well, its a nice addon. But the Perfomance slows down. thats because the Facebook Api is overload. Call your site with FBConnect and you can still walk around you Streets

Because of this , i will remove that. It works nice for a while, but now it realy makes me and my User confuse

xcingix · #**1475** 02-21-2010, 08:34 PM

can anyone help me with my problem?

Facebook connect has not published a feed on my site since Feb 17th.

This is a supported mod. No patch?

Why are some of my users logging into someone elses account through this system?

This product no longer publishes feeds on users' facebook pages:

We want to remind you that starting on that day, the only way to publish Feed stories into the stream will be via the stream publishing methods (stream.publish, FB.Connect.streamPublish, and Facebook.streamPublish). Posts published using the stream publishing methods contain only structured plain text data, which makes them easier to render on a variety of devices, including mobile phones and gaming consoles.

Is there something to to with this mod?
I will keep an eye on it, hopefully someone will give a hand.
Is not working for me either.

mykkal · #**1481** 02-27-2010, 12:13 AM

Its not working for anyone. it needs to be updated to follow the API calls that facebook now supports. Can someone help fix this? The developer obviously isn't paying attention.

And the developer who "supports" this hasn't been online since September of 2009.
