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.

Hi mate.

We have disabled the plugin now. Until we get the issue resolved, it could be a usergroup permissions thang.

We have copied attributes for usergrp 2 ( registered users ) to new Facebook usergroup.

New members via facebook, were indeed registered to usergroup 16 ( facebook grp ) but this is where the system crapped itself, and we got database errors.

Its always something simple that manifests itself to be the most complicated to fix lol

What is the difference between "New (IEN) Thread Reply Notification" and "New Subscribed Thread Reply Notification" ?

My users are getting messages for every new post with the first one set to yes and the second to no.

Also, on the facebook page it is throwing this error:

Parse errors:

FBML Error (line 1): illegal tag "noscript" under "fb:canvas"

CSS Error (line 276 char 22): Unknown property.: 'SCROLLBAR-BASE-COLOR'  Declaration dropped.

CSS Error (line 277 char 23): Unknown property.: 'SCROLLBAR-ARROW-COLOR'  Declaration dropped.

FBML Error (line 388): illegal tag "body" under "fb:canvas"

Seems to be working on my board. The home page no redirects to forum home upon login (I previous had to set up a redirect to make that happen). So far so good.
