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.

The only thing stopping me is having users who register via Facebook being required to use their Facebook login from that point on. Perhaps if they could choose a password at the time of registration, that would give them the choice of the native login if they so choose.

I think they can set a password themselves later if they want. I guess the only issue with adding a password option is it slows registration, perhaps have it as an optional field?
Oh damn, this isn't working on my VBAdvanced pages.
Works perfectly on everything in my VB folder however.
Any ideas?
This seems to be a major issue now as well a lot of people are using VBAdvaned including myself it's the only place I cannot get it to work on the upgrade. It work in the 1.1 version hoepefuly someone will figure it out.

I'm using CMPS as well and I have a whole bunch of problems

the admin can always set their password to whatever...
Setting them one by one would not be possible. I was asking because I have my Wordpress installation bridged to vBulletin and making the native login possible would be quite essential.
This could be solved by letting the users choose a password when registering through FB.
Is this technically possible? If it is, how much work would it require?
(Amazing support btw, and blazing speed developing. Many thanks. Installed and donated. I urge everyone to do the same )
