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.

Are there any special changes I would need to make if my vBa homepage is not in the root forum directory? Logging in from the index takes me to the http://www.cogonline.net/fblogin.php page. I'm currently handling that with a redirect.
I'm getting this as well, but only some of the time.
It looks as if I am going to have to uninstall this. A brilliant idea but needs a bit more work.
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.
Getting a fatal error when trying to log out of my normal account.
Fatal error: Call to undefined method Facebook::kill_cookies() in /home/dfukforu/public_html/includes/functions_login.php(409) : eval()'d code on line 9
make sure you re-upload the facebook library in includes/facebook/
Do you think it's possible to add an image verification to this programs registration process? It probably won't take long for someone to figure out a script to easily spam forums using this form of registration. It'd be great to try and prevent that with whatever default form of verification everyone's forum uses.

All you gotta have is a Facebook email and password to start with and enter the username you want for the forum and that's it. I don't know what kind of system Facebook uses to register with but in this case we have to hope it's good enough to keep spammers out or else it's very easy to join any forum that uses this mod and spam away.
