I'm getting the same thing as jagadish. I created the app on facebook and got my API key and secret. Do I just have to wait, or is this something I can fix myself?

Okay, I'm tired, so forgive my stupidity, but I forgot to fill in all the settings. Jagadish, you have to edit your setting on the application. Especially the "Connect" category. That's where your problem is coming from.

Hi - about to try this out. Looks good - particularly like the "Check it out" screen giving you those options.

BTW - the

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

error looks like it is from the web server and mean you have not given the server permission to read the files.

@Springs Hosting or anyone else who knows - once the user connects with Facebook (this plugin), is it possible to have an integration such as - when the user posts something in Elgg's wall it will also post it to his Facebook's wall? and such...?

Thanks.

Hi, really great work - thank you!

I had the following issue: I got a white page, showing only a url: ../_graphics/temp.jpg
If you have this, you should check the write permissions to the /_graphics directory at your elgg installation. Normally this could be not writable.
But: is it good to use this fix name for a temp image? What about temp.jpg, if another application would use the same file or if two users are connectiong at the same moment?

But however ist works well for now. If you want to check out, here is a playground:
http://www.community-software-24.com/
(I set this site up 2 days ago for all elgg issues, I would enjoy if a lot of people would join us. I will blog my problems and solutions with elgg there.)

More questions:
First time I created the account with sync. Then deleted the user. Then created again without sync. Deleted. And now I never get the question for syncing. What's going on?

In facebook application setting you have the options for Friend Linking Access. Are they relevant?

If I logout from elgg, I will be logged out from facebook at the same time. This is not what I would expect, can I change this behaviour?

Torsten

cool works great

great job!

At the "check it out" form, if I press the "sync my facebook account" I put the password and it always says to me I put it wrong, and if I put "Create a separate account" (the action is http://localhost/elgg1.6.1/action/fbconnect/addemail) it sends me to a blank page.

Did somebody have the same problem?
Thanks in advance!

I'm having the same problems. And I can't change the email message that is sent out to users either.

I am having the same issue some have mentioned before when

403 Forbidden

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /mod/fbconnect/ on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

It is a bit unclear from the readme if the root of the site should be used as the "Connect" and "Account Preview" URL - in my case www.pohdev.com

or the URL for the plugin www.pohdev.com/mod/fbconnect/

Right now this is how i have it setup

Connect URL - http://www.pohdev.com/mod/fbconnect/

Account Preview - http://www.pohdev.com/mod/fbconnect/

base domain - blank

account reclemation - blank

Does this make sense? should it be different?

It seems as if the plugin simply forwards to http://www.pohdev.com/mod/fbconnect/ after which the following is added

?session=%7B%22session_key%22%3A%223.7mzQeWo2qOh6v6tgjBlpqA__.3600.1266357600-100000790264757%22%2C%22uid%22%3A100000790264757%2C%22expires%22%3A1266357600%2C%22secret%22%3A%22BRbNfeiEH0UpD91KiG8z1g__%22%2C%22sig%22%3A%2296c6be3fd8c450dbddbe0a7788a471ab%22%7D&next=http%3A%2F%2Fpohdev.com%2Fmod%2Ffbconnect%2Fxd_receiver.html%3Ffb_login%26fname%3D_opener%26guid%3D0.5255702661669341

Is it trying to reference a specific file in the directory? should i include a file name in the connect URL ?

Not quite sure what to do to solve this

Any help would be greatly appreciated

P.S. - it does not seem to be a permissions issue since they are fine for that specific directory, simply the plugin referencing a directory instead of a specific file (as far as i can tell at least)

@Steve do you have the same problem I had? How is the current message that is sending?

@stantz did you put the API Key and API Secret?

Regards.

• You can't cancel the process once it has started. There is no "x" box in the right hand corner of the windows.
• It instantly creates your profile before you have even verified your information.
• It posts a blank message to the wire everytime you login
• You can create a seperate account but it doesnt give you a way to delete the "facebook" account so you end up with two profiles.
• It asks for a password and no matter what password I use it just doesn't and keeps me in a never ending loop because I can't cancel the process. I just have to close my browser and start over.

Hi Steve et al,  I have had this plugin on my site for a while and several elggsters have tried it out... and I have to agree with your observations... if Springs Hosting is going to do any further work on this, the list above would be a good start for a "to do" list.

Hi, yes, I agree with @Mark Bridges and @Steve. I just saw a plugin (http://community.elgg.org/pg/plugins/westor/read/408894/westors-deleteme) that can help with the topic about having two profiles.

I think the main problem of the plugin is when a user that have already signed in logs in with the fbconnect because the plugin detects the email (this is when you try to sync Accounts). I commented the line 222 (thewire_save_post($fbprofile['status']['message'], ACCESS_PUBLIC, 0, 'facebook');) and then I think solved the problem but I guess I have to continue testing it.

Regards.

Hi @gushbellino, thanks for the tip and please do let us know how your testing goes... we are all interested!  I will make your mod too and see how it goes as well and report back anything I find.  Thanks ;)

Someone having problems with elgg 1.7 too? I had to change tho action link to work with elgg 1.7.

@springs hosting: is this plugin still in further development? Will you publish a new release in the near future, where some of the issues are fixed? Please see my last entry.

I want to install this on my new 1.7 elgg install but now I am thinking I'll wait until I know it works on 1.7.

nice plugins. i've tried it out on my demo site. however this plugin didnt pull my fb avatar when i log in. using dave plugins it works. any idea?

If someone wants to make it work in 1.7, this hint may help:

Look at mod/fbconnect/views/default/login.php

...

I changed in Javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">
function facebook_onlogin() {
document.location.href = "<?php echo elgg_add_action_tokens_to_url($vars['url'] . 'action/fbconnect/login') ?>";
}

would really love to see this in 1.7

and would love to see this working well with profile manager, that'll be just amazing!!!

my error

Form is missing __token or __ts fields

I changed the login.php as what westor said. I'm using elgg 1.7

maybe it's missing some security tokens?

echo elgg_view('input/securitytoken');

@ Cim
How to solve that?

i have a problem, it goes on and ask me to signin using facebook and then asks for username and password for the site..... why not just use facebook and automatically log to the site if the user has chosen to use facebook and clicked the signin using faceboook.

and it keeps on telling me that unable to create account after I choose sync and enter my email and pass....

I'm using 1.7
