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.

Can the Default User Group ID be more than 1?

Ie usergroup id - 2,5,6,7 etc

Default User Group ID
Facebook users will be associated with this group. By default this is the Registered Users (id:2) group but it is strongly recommended to create a separate group for Facebook users.

no, its only 1 user group

Ok thanks, another Q for you...

I've done all the template edits etc but when I goto post a new thread the "Post to my Facebook" section does not show,what have I done wrong?

Do you need to put the First Login Feed Template ID,New Thread Feed Template ID,New Reply Feed Template ID into the main settings ?

I tried it on IE and got this..

The Facebook Connect cross-domain receiver URL (http://sundeviltalk.com/xd_receiver....%220.090%22%7D) must have the application's callback url (http://www.sundeviltalk.com/) as a prefix. You can configure the callback url in the application's settings.

for FF, am I going to have to clear my cache every time I try and log in?

I just registered on your site with no problems from the vBa homepage. I'm on IE7.
