Troubleshooting
Server Requirements:
PHP 5
If you get an error:
Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------
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 http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/images/loaders/indicator_white_small.gif 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. Have you set up your facebook application? If so in the facebook application settings there is a setting called Callback URL. Set it to your forum's url. And thats it!
2. The Feed Template IDs will be automatically set once you go to FB Connect Options > News-Feed Templates and click on [ Register Default Templates ]
Hope this helps

Done! this is just easy to install.
i don't see any problems yet so far. great work!

Actually it's very easy! You can set a default user group for facebook users in the add-on settings. So what I would suggest you do, is create a user group with restricted access and set it as the default user group for facebook users. After you approve the user, you can move him/her to the group with all the other approved users.
Would this solution work for ya?

weird problem.
I've logged out of facebook and logged out of the forum. I log in to my forum using the facebook connect. it goes to redirection page and instead of the name of the user, it just says:
Thank you for logging in, .
Click here if your browser does not automatically redirect you. (http://www.sirenssociety.com/index.php)
Then it keeps trying to reload the fblogin.php page ...

I just logged in with facebook connect, after i selected my nickname it said that I will be moderated and when i was redirected to the main page it says:
You have been banned for the following reason:
No reason was specified.
Date the ban will be lifted: Never
I'm guessing you moderate new users.... right?
Did you change the default user group for facebook users to 8 (banned)?

Yes, I moderate new users, but the default group is set to 2. I'll create one called facebook and see if that works.

I'll delete you from the old one. Also, I still get that loop and it won't get out of the fblogin.php page. any ideas?

hi Sllik
it's currently on my site (http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums), running fine i guess.
I understand some functionality are pending.
So what are the functions that are available through Facebook Connect besides logging in with a facebook account?
Are these functions already working with the current installation of Facebook Connect?
Facebook users will be able to receive Facebook notifications when:
* There is a reply to their thread or a thread that they're subscribing to
* They receive a new PM
If yes, i've tried sending the facebook test user a PM but there wasn't a notification the facebook account about the new PM/reply?
Thanks!

10 Dec 2008, 08:15
Sllik --- okay, i reread your description and now it makes sense. This is for Guests to be able to login directly from their facebook accounts.
What about established users? Is there a way for established users of my forum to log in via facebook?
yinyang
10 Dec 2008, 08:21
BTW, check your paypal.
Do you think the easiest way to do a work-around would be to merge users?
Also, i'm still getting that weird looping at fblogin.php. what do you think is wrong?
Sllik --- okay, i reread your description and now it makes sense. This is for Guests to be able to login directly from their facebook accounts.

no it's not supported at the moment. and as for your infinite redirect problem, I've updated the fblogin.php file so please download the archive and reupload the file.

Very interesting!
How does the postbit of someone who posted with a facebook login look like? Username? Avatar?
Very interesting!

The user is asked to select a Nickname (username) when he/she logs in for the first time so it looks like any other postbit. Right now there is no way for others to distinguish between facebook users and non-facebook users.

Ok what am I doing wrong. I uploaded all the files, made the template changes and set it up in admin panel. However when I click the button to login with facebook it does nothing.
I even switched to the default theme and set that up and it still won't work

can you help me with step 1? :)
Step 1:
Set up a new Facebook Application through which vBulletin and Facebook will be communicating. When setting up the application set the Callback URL to your vBulletin url. Set up a new Facebook Application here: http://www.facebook.com/developers/ (no coding skills required)
when trying to submit, I get
"You need to have at least 5 users before you can submit your application."
Ok I got my initial issue resolved. However now when I try and connect I get the following after I click the button and ok the facebook request

Hi Sllik, I can't seem to find the "Facebook Connect App", any chance you could post the url?
edit: Sorry, misread the install file ;)
I've read all of the posts so far but I'm not clear on one item yet...
When a guest visitor logs in using their Facebook credentials, does a user account then actually get created on the vBulletin site?

ok thanks guys for the feedback. I was doing it wrong. I installed everything and when I click
"Connect with Facebook" (at login) I get this....
Invalid Argument
The Facebook Connect cross-domain receiver URL (http://www.sundeviltalk.com//xd_receiver.htm#fname=_opener&%7B%22t%22%3A3%2C%22h%22%3A%22fbCancelLogin%22%2C%22sid%22%3A%220.402%22%7D) must have the application's callback url (http://sundeviltalk.com) as a prefix. You can configure the callback url in the application's settings.
works not for me ... myself can not use this on my board - get # in my link -webpage when click to facebook connect...and users get database erorrs when should write nickname...

Yes, that's correct so far. Another member mentioned above that they couldn't link their current user account with the Facebook login...only able to create a new account on their forum.
yup, i wrote an earlier post stating that i'd happy to donate more funds if he could bridge this with existing users.
I haven't tried it, and it seems like it will be a big pain in the ass, but i guess you could merge the current users with the new facebook account.

Why does the fblogin.php page just display half the php code in the file rather than login. I have tried everything to get it to work but it wont
I'm running 3.8.0 Rc1 with vbseo 2.5.0 and I've had two problems on my website and had to disable the plugin.
1. the footer code didn't parse the redirect correctly (the "forum" was missing and it had
FB.init(...hash...,"//fb_redirect...");
value. Note the double slash. I've changed it manually and some errors disappeared.
2. I'm using vbseo and people (valid users) going anywhere but to forum start page were greeted with connection reset errors. Unfortunately IE6 threw out connection error and didn't open the page at all. I've tried to fix it but couldn't... My server logs didn't have any errors...
Any help will be very approeciated as this functionality is very, very welcome by my users...

FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE TROUBLE LOGGING IN.
Some people have problems logging into their board after they logged in with fbconnect and logged out.
The nickname you choose when you login with fbconnect for the first time is NOT associated with your current vbulletin account! So when you try to login to vbulletin through the vbulletin login form enter your vbulletin username (not the nickname you chose when you logged in with fbconnect) and your vbulletin password (not your facebook password).
Basically you never enter the nickname you chose with fbconnect into a vbulletin login form!
what do you mean connection reset errors? can you provide any more details on that?
IE6 stops displaying the page with "Operation aborted" error. It works fine for forum start page though... It happens every time I try to open the page. Clearing cache doesn't help.
Other browsers work fine but one of Firefox browsers displays "Connection reset" error but displays the page fine. I have no visible errors in logs... Any way I can help you? I may try to setup testing environment...

OK.
the test site uses a slightly older vbulletin (beta2) but the problems is still present.
Open the following urls in IE6 to see the problem:
http://test.babyboom.pl/forum/
and for example:
http://test.babyboom.pl/forum/staramy-sie-f66/starajace-sie-2008-a-13949-post2886350/#post2886350
You can switch to http://www.babyboom.pl/forum/ to see the working site...
Hope this helps.

cool, im installing a VM to run the site on IE6, works great on FF & IE7.
I've been playing with various things and it's getting really funny. So far I've been using Windows xp sp3 and IE6 to test. This one throws "operation aboerted" error and shows "Opening page: C:\Windows\System32\xpsp3res.dll/dnserror.htm" in the status bar.
I've tried another build of IE - an ancient IE6 running on Win98 Crossover bottle for mac and this one gave another error - 80004004. Google suggests that this means nesting errors. And I've pinpointed the culprit - it's the location of this line:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.ak.connect.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/FeatureLoader.js.php"></script>
from headerinclude. If I move it below, inside <body> tags, the error disappears and everything seems to work fine. I have to get some rest now (it's 1 am here) and I will return to my tests tomorrow.

Great application! Is it possible to use the connect API to pull users favourite movies / any other data or can you only get validation that the user account exists?
~~
The only thing I dislike about the applications is that you're handing over a lot of power to a as of yet unproven site (still struggling to finance their ever increasing costs). If Facebook goes down for a few hours, a few days or forever your members wouldn't be able to login, those perhaps more likely is Facebook simply changing / removing the connect feature at one point or another.
Since this app doesn't get the users email or password (as far as I can see) I can't even see away to solve that in the worst case scenario.
~~
Anyway, brilliant app, just finished playing with it on my test server and I'll be adding it to my main forum later. Great work and I look forward to future updates!

You have entered an invalid username or password. Please press the back button, enter the correct details and try again. Don't forget that the password is case sensitive. Forgotten your password? Click click
Any idea on that? After choose a nickname and go to the next process it shows that message.
I'd give it a go if:
1. There was a way for an existing user to associate their Facebook credentials with their forum account.
2. There was a way for a Facebook user to login first with their Facebook credentials but also be able to login using a normal vb user/pass should they choose to do so in the future.

I second the existing user issue. Without it it's a nogo for me.

I question whether *all* of my users would want their accounts merged. Though it may be a pain, I for one think this is still a very powerful tool for getting new members.

What I did was create php files to redirects to the right directory or doamin for example the fblogin.php I creatred a fblogin.php file in the root directory where my CMPS in since its in a different domain and within this I added
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://forums.mydomain.com/fblogin.php" />
same for all the needed links in my CMPS.

There are problems with IE6 and VBSEO that I'm trying to fix. If someone would be able to setup a test forum with VBSEO and give me admin access it would be great!

Anyone know how to fix this:
The Facebook Connect cross-domain receiver URL http://www.SITEURL.com/xd_receiver.htm#fname=_opener&%7B%22t%22%3A3%2C%22h%22%3A%22fbCancelLogin%22%2C%22sid%22%3A%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.
Anyone know how to fix this:
I think that happens with IE6 - not IE7 or FF. But I'm not 100% sure

after /forum
make it look like /forum/xd_receiver.htm
so call back will be

Does this go for everyone? In 'Callback URL' setting put -> http://yoursite.com/xd_receiver.htm :confused:
Also. I have a Facebook contact grabber on my site to send invitations and if I enable your add-on I get this error after I submit my Facebook login info:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class Facebook in /home/global43/public_html/includes/facebook/facebook.php on line 37
If I turn your addon off, it works fine. How can I make them both work?
Here is the url to the grabbers, there is 6 of them.

I'm not quite sure how to set all my settings on the Facebook site. It's asking for callback URLs and a bunch of other URLs and settings.
What exactly do I need to fill in on the Facebook side to get things rolling?
Wow, is all I can say. Great Add-on and I will certainly be employing this once my new site is up and running (waiting for 3.8 gold)

The grabber doesnt work if your logged in through Facebook. If you log out, then invite.. it works. Strange. Any suggestions on how to fix? I would love both to work :(

One thing I noticed is that I can only click the Facebook Connect using IE7 on the forums page. I could click on any other page of the site (vBAdvanced page, arcade, etc.) but the login box would not pop up.

at this point, something is wrong with my db. that, and CMPS is causing some sort of conflict. (both educated guesses)

Indeed, try with different browsers (and pages), for example on mine it works perfectly with Firefox but with IE and Opera nothing happens unless you navigate to another page, for example Calendar.

I had to recheck the templates for the 1.1.1 upgrade. Something minor has changed from 1.1.0 to 1.1.1 and at first all I did was re-upload the files and import the XML and then the pop up wouldn't work on any page at all. I then checked the template edits and searched for what was already there and just copied them over. Something changed in the edits that now allows the popup on all pages but without the edits causes it not to display on any page.

So far I have this running on a forum in a forums directory with none of the issues that have been reported. I still haven't gone in and try to add the connect links to the vBadvanced pages, but that's only a matter of adding some lines of code another style.
The only thing I am noticing is there doesn't appear to be any difference in my User CP where I believe there's supposed to be something different for FaceBook users in the Change Email and Password setting. Is that right, or is that just a background change in effect? It could be that because I use the GT Private Message enhancements its not showing. That mod generates different templates for the USECP_SHELL, but normally I can make the same edits to those templates with no problems.
Oh, there does appear to be a javascript error on the Arcade page even before you try to login. 'xdChannelUrl' is null or not an object
I've also noted that in FireFox, logging out of one site or the other tries to redirect you to the home page of your forum where you end up at http://www.cogonline.net/fblogin.php. You can't navigate to the homepage at all without being taken here, unless you close FireFox and reopen it.
Other then that, nothing real egregious for a BETA.
This is definetly getting closer to completion... keep it up
Those who are upgrading from 1.1.0 to 1.1.1 please don't forget to modify a template:
Edit Template - footer
Find:
FB.init("$vboptions[fbconnect_apikey]", "$fbconnect_xd_receiver");
Replace With:
FB.init("$vboptions[fbconnect_apikey]", "$vboptions[fbconnect_xd_receiver]");

This mod is very interesting.
When you login through Facebook and create a username for yourself, what will it set as the password? I can login through facebook later, but if I want to login through the forums own login form, it won't (obviously) accept the password used to login through facebook.
What happens to the people who register through FB? Are they forever offlimits to their username through the native login form?

Oh damn, this isn't working on my VBAdvanced pages.
Works perfectly on everything in my VB folder however.
Any ideas?
I'm so on the fence on this lol
The only thing stopping me is having users who register via Facebook being required to use their Facebook login from that point on. Perhaps if they could choose a password at the time of registration, that would give them the choice of the native login if they so choose.

I think they can set a password themselves later if they want. I guess the only issue with adding a password option is it slows registration, perhaps have it as an optional field?

Mine didn't either- until I realized I missed a template edit. Double check all your edits.
the admin can always set their password to whatever...
Setting them one by one would not be possible. I was asking because I have my Wordpress installation bridged to vBulletin and making the native login possible would be quite essential.
This could be solved by letting the users choose a password when registering through FB.
Is this technically possible? If it is, how much work would it require? :)
