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.

would you mind posting your button once you create it? I'd like to see how it looks and possibly use it. if not, I understand, just thought I'd ask.

Well, I installed it today and it worked no problem with my eFiction bridge and vBadvanced. Great job


Can my current members connect to there facebook accounts as well? I looked all over and can not find an option for this in the user panel.


Thanks again.


Edit - Never mind, I found how to do it. Now I need to figure out how to add the same functions from the thread posting area to eFiction.

problem solved, i uninstalled then reinstalled and it was in english Another question though, if an existing user logs in using facebook, does it not add friends? is that only for new users? This mod of yours is working like a dream though!
