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.

I don't see a "Register Default Templates"... I see a "manage", but I get this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/xxxxxx/includes/facebook/facebook.php on line 38
this is awesome, but one thing. i run a "membership only" vbulletin site and members need to be approved before they are allowed access to the forums. will this compromise that approval system?
1. Have you set up your facebook application? If so in the facebook application settings there is a setting called Callback URL. Set it to your forum's url. And thats it!
2. The Feed Template IDs will be automatically set once you go to FB Connect Options > News-Feed Templates and click on [ Register Default Templates ]

Actually it's very easy! You can set a default user group for facebook users in the add-on settings. So what I would suggest you do, is create a user group with restricted access and set it as the default user group for facebook users. After you approve the user, you can move him/her to the group with all the other approved users.
I've logged out of facebook and logged out of the forum. I log in to my forum using the facebook connect. it goes to redirection page and instead of the name of the user, it just says:

Then it keeps trying to reload the fblogin.php page ...
I just logged in with facebook connect, after i selected my nickname it said that I will be moderated and when i was redirected to the main page it says:
You have been banned for the following reason:
No reason was specified.
Date the ban will be lifted: Never
I'm guessing you moderate new users.... right?
Did you change the default user group for facebook users to 8 (banned)?
