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.

When I tried to install this I got an error using the quick reply function on the site. It kept returning an error stating that my post needed to be more than X characters long, when it was.
I may have missed something in the template changes, but as of now I've removed all the template changes, deleted the application on fbook and uninstalled it from my site.
I was just wondering if anyone else had those problems before I try again.
I don't know what it is but I tried it again and had the same problems.
For some reason, anytime I install this and try to post via the quick reply (I didn't test posting a thread or from a reply), I get the following message: The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 1 characters.
It doesn't matter how long the post is, it won't go through.
It's not anything with the product itself because I disabled it and it still wouldn't work. I rolled back the template changes and then it started working again.
Is there anything you can think of that would cause this problem? I'm sure it's my fault somewhere, but it's happened twice in two tries now.

If reverting the template edits fixed the problem, then it's possible you deleted a single end bracket or something like that accidentally during the initial install.

I figure it's something simple, but would you have any idea of what I need to pay more attention to? It's odd to have it mess up twice and it be the exact same thing both times.
You want to allow current users to connect, but prevent future users from connecting?
Well, all I want is that current users to connect via facebook for the updates only. I don't want them to register my forum through facebook. I want to have them register only through the forum. Hope that makes better sense
