Facebook Connect - Stopped Working

    • Posted 5 months ago #

    Here's the problem I'm facing:

    - Yesterday, I created the following website - http://smallworldexperiences.com/
    - I added the Facebook Connect mod. It worked great for a day.
    -- http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/simple-facebook-connect/

    - I woke this morning and it wasn't working. I hadn't make any changes.
    - I tested the site with Facebook's debugger http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
    - I made the appropriate changes so no errors are reported from Facebook's end but the button still doesn't work. Nothing happens, it's simply dead.

    Any thoughts as to what's going wrong here?

    Havent tested the plugin, but most of the standalone bbpress plugins are not being actively updated any more.

    Is upgrading to bbpress 2.0 out of the question? Their is alot of facebook connect plugins that will work.

    The 'simple facebook connect' plugin over at the wordpress extend was updated last month... but, it wont work on the stand-alone version of bbpress.

    if using bbpress 2.0 is not an option, i'll have a look at the plugin tonight and see if anything can be fixed.

    EDIT: The plugin not doing anything seems to be a facebook issue, alot of people seem to have the same issue.

    Hi Chris,

    Thanks for your response. I attempted to upgrade to 2.0 on a WP site. Those plugins were giving me plenty of trouble too. Additionally, I prefer the look/feel of the bbPress I'm using.

    I noticed that the error provided said 'perms' had been changed to 'scope'. So, in the connect.php plugin file, I made these changes. Since uploading the new file, I now see the FB Connect pop-up and it asks me to 'allow' access to my profile info. After allowing access, the pop-up disappears and another error is shown on the page - Permission Denied - all.js. Code:0 http://connect.facebook.com/en_US/all.js - Line: 22 Char:4321

    While I'm a bit closer, I'm sure I'm still pretty far off from finding this on my own. Any help would be appreciated :o)

    Thanks,
    Chris

    Most probably Facebook changes have broken the code of this plugin. Unless someone fixes that, there might not be a chance of getting it to work.

    I have written to moogie on Facebook. Hopefully he will have some time to review this thread. Stay tuned...and keep your fingers crossed ;-)

    I've got it working - I messaged him but then went in and dug round the code and its now working with the new V3 PHP API from FB.

    Not sure what to do, but I'm happy to zip it up and post a link to it.
