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.

Indeed, fantastic speed and support. I'm planning to donate in a day or two once I figure out why it only pops up on some pages under some browsers.

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?

First, thanks for your support and the donation!

Letting the users to choose a password when registering is possible, but then it feels more like a registration than a login. I could include an option in the CP to enable & disable password request.

That would be sweet!
