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.

Does anybody know where we can edit this reference on the login form?

Set email notification settings.

I would like to add the word "MANDATORY"

This way facebook members will know they "MUST" enter an email address.

on my forum, this is setting every new FB user to the GMT time zone not my forum default time zone. happening to anyone else?

Same here.

I attached the app setting.

I`m using the default vB theme.

Is this problem in the mod itself or the application? i really need this mod in my forum guys.

Has anyone figured out the fix to prevent some users from logging into other users accounts with this mod? This mod opens up some problems with linking the wrong accounts and I have not yet isolated the part of the code that is letting that happen... hopefully if someone found the fix already they will post or PM me, I would appreciate that very much and pay.

[MediaHound]

Alright ladies and gentlemen, this is the deal.
The problem is in fblogin.php, line 34. it was like this:

$fbuid = int($vbulletin->facebook->get_loggedin_user());

This was forcing 32bit integers on FB user id's when in fact they sometimes can be up to 64bit. For that reason, some users id's got truncated. This should fix the problems with logging into the wrong accounts.
So you should change that to this:

$fbuid = ($vbulletin->facebook->get_loggedin_user());
$fbuid = is_numeric($fbuid)?$fbuid:0;

Also at about line 214 I think you should change

$vbulletin->userinfo['fbuid'] = $userid;

to

$vbulletin->userinfo['fbuid'] = $fbuid;

Hope you enjoy and use it well.
