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.

I don't know, I installed the day it was first released and have not had any problems other then a redirect issue. Different people are getting different problems, some are getting none. I'm sure there's some user error involved in some of these template edits.
Seems pretty likely. I haven't had any major problems either with all of the releases.
I understand that but I'm just frustrated. this hack has taken down my board and I am running out of options. I just think this should have been written better from the beginning. I'm not the only one having problems.

well I have installed this exactly like the instructions say and my board is basically been down since installing this. the coder says its a problem with my host and my host says everything is setup properly.

what would you do?
your forum is really messed up... it seems like a redirect or a re-write engine problem... when http://www.sundeviltalk.com/forums/c...tant.css?v=372 will display the contents of vbulletin_important.css (a css file) we'll be on the right track...

this mod has nothing to do with the problems on your forums....

One thing - the forum URL is being passed to facebook instead of the thread URL when a new thread is posted.
yeah... I know... the problem is that there is no way of knowing the thread id before it is posted... if someone can think of a solution i'm all ears...
