Automatically befriend user's friends
If any of the user's friends are also registered on the forum, they will automatically be friends!

Professional Install/Upgrade/Support Services
Want this mod professionally installed? It's guaranteed to work on your forum! Download the archive and see INSTALL.html/UPGRADE.html for more details!

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.

Simple Questiuon:
We have installed this, not that I am sure what it does.

However, my question is this, we have created a separate usergroup, and assigned it to facebook option thingy.

But how do existing users become a member of this group, in our case id:16.

Is it done automatically ? or do we have to go in and edit on a one by one basis?

please
Well, that is my homepage. The forum and callback are the same: http://www.cogonline.net/forums

The only problem I do have is after logging in on the homepage, it tries to redirect to an fblogin in the root folder.

This did not solve anything for me. I have the most recent version of all files.

I've uninstalled for now due to too many occasions of being redirected to "fblogin.php" (with a blank page).

I am however amazed at the level of support provided here and will follow this thread and reapply this product when I feel confident that I can make it work.

I also have the redirect problem. It appears on Internet Explorer 8 (beta 2) but it doesn't appear on the latest version of Google Chrome (1.0.154.36) where it works fine... I did a clean install of the latest version of the plugin on vBulletin 3.7.0.

Just noticed another quirk...

If i don't login right away... i surf throgh the posts and dpending on where i am on the site it will auto log me in and redirect me to forum page... not a big deal but sometime i just want to browse anonymously and not login...

anyone know what check occurs in the PHP for it to log you in automatically? I ask cuz one of my addons/hacks does not check when i go to the default page... but after i click a specific link it logs me in and takes me to forum ... so one of my PHP's has the login check..

thanks... ltz

NOTE: News-Feeds will not be posted right now since Facebook has not yet implemented a proper policy for that. But the code IS implemented and will work once Facebook gets their act together (which should hopefully be soon). See http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/...es_to_Facebook
for more details.
I think now you can enable it: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/...rth_Party_Code
