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.

1. I still have the scrolling error.

scrolling problem?

You don't have a standard navbar so do this...

Find:

<form onsubmit="md5hash(vb_login_password, vb_login_md5password, vb_login_md5password_utf, 0)" method="post" action="login.php">
[form contents]
</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 -->

OK - I've installed it now on http://www.theworshipcommunity.com/forums/

However,
When I attempt to view the application on FaceBook, it gives me this on this link:
http://apps.facebook.com/theworshipcommunity/

Errors while loading page from application
Parse errors:

CSS Error (line 32 char 30): Error in parsing value for property.: 'background-repeat' Declaration dropped.

FBML Error (line 348): illegal tag "body" under "fb:canvas"

FBML Error (line 580): illegal tag "noscript" under "fb:canvas"

FBML Error (line 625): illegal tag "noscript" under "fb:canvas"

There are still a few kinks Facebook and the makers of TheWorshipCommunity.Com are trying to iron out. We appreciate your patience as we try to fix these issues. Your problem has been logged - if it persists, please come back in a few days. Thanks!

Don't worry about the facebook application... ppl shouldn't see it.

means that somehow you erased the facebook user to vb user map (fbuser table entry) and haven't deleted the vbuser.

did you install and then uninstall this mod?

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?

when you login with facebook for the first time there is a link "Want to use your existing account?"

Oh WOW.

Now as an Admin I can't ever post news feeds because I checked that box once?

oh if it's you who did that you can change it in your facebook privacy settings

[GCC LLC]

Oh..where do I do that?

I'm in the privacy settings but have nothing there would block the app. Nothing is checked except the "Share my name, networks, and list of friends, etc.
