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.

Comes up with the FBconnect box, but then just returns to the log in screen. I've checked and rechecked all the code additions, and even reloaded my vb code and database onto a text server, but still won't work.

REALLY want to use the mod, but no idea why it won't work

forum url?

after upgrading to 2.0 I get this error

Question?

Is this now creating a new account in the database if someone logs in using their facebook account? If so...very cool!

I see this now:

Fetch user data from Facebook
Fetch data like name, location, profile picture and use it on your forums!

After installing the new 2.0 version I get a db error with the data mapping.

It's still broke, either the link in "Import User Data From Facebook" needs redirected to ""fbconnect_datamap.php", or the file needs renamed to "fbconnect_mapdata.php".

Also, when i do go to that php file i get...
