Professional Install/Upgrade/Support Services
Want this mod professionally installed? It's guaranteed to work on your forum! Download the archive and see INSTALL.html/UPGRADE.html for more details!

Troubleshooting
Server Requirements:
PHP 5

If you get an error:


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

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.

You log in with your vB account info so that Facebook knows which account to sync up to. Otherwise, anyone could link up their Facebook account with anyone's vB account.

I can't seem to get it to work... When I initially tested it out, it stated I entered the wrong password and to try again. I clicked Connect with Facebook again and it doesn't do anything. Now, I've asked a few others to try it, and they say it doesn't do anything either...

Check the box for your site under other applications. Keep in mind that the blackberry app gets incoming notifications through e-mail and not the application itself.

Sorry I know this is more facebook than vb issues but I dunno where else to post.

Thanks

is there any set to SET a specific style and make it unchangeable to the user with this mod?

I'd like to set a specific style when someone views the site from FB.

thanks in advance.

You don't actually view the site in FB...it just posts links back to your site

You mean you want them to see a certain skin when they enter via a linked clicked in FB?

the answer is yes, because I am going to have a style just for people who enter via fb and show my forum in facebook via an iframe.

it seems like such a waste of great code to make someone leave facebook and come to my site especially since they'll lose all the features of facebook such as chat, links to their favoriate apps, etc.
