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.

How? They'll want to know how to associate their facebook with their existing account.

Also, does this work with promotions?

I have them set to come in as Registered Users, they are a bit limited until they get past 15 posts, then they are promoted. Will the promotions work?

Well that was easier than I thought. It was rather self-explanatory...

Working well, click "install"...

[GigaSb]

im using Facebook Pro template and i cant make the next steps because i dont have this templates:

Template: navbar (the code isnt here!)
Find:
<!-- / login form -->

Insert After:
<!-- fbconnect -->
<center>
<span class="fbconnect" style="height:21px">
<img src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/images/loaders/indicator_white_small.gif" alt="Connect with Facebook" />
</span>
</center>
<!-- / fbconnect -->


AND

Template: USERCP_SHELL
Find:
<tr><td class="$navclass[password]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editpassword">$vbphrase[edit_email_and_password]</a></td></tr>

Replace With:
<if condition="$bbuserinfo[fbemail]">
<tr><td class="$navclass[password]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="#" onclick="facebook_prompt_permission('email'); return false;">$vbphrase[fbconnect_email_settings]</a></td></tr>
<else />
<tr><td class="$navclass[password]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editpassword">$vbphrase[edit_email_and_password]</a></td></tr>
