Facebook Connect WordPress Plugin Configuration

Installation and configuration videotutorial:


1. Log in to the Facebook Developer application: http://www.facebook.com/developers/

2. Create a new application, more info: http://developers.facebook.com/get_started.php

3. Upload the `fbconnect` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory

4. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

5. Configure the plugin through the ‘Facebook Connector’ section of the ‘Settings’ menu

6. Use the Facebook App info (step 2) to configure the plugin

7. Create a new template for comments.

8. Activate the Facebook Connector widget from the ‘Design / Widtgets’ menu.

9. Important: If you dont see the Facebook Connect login button and the user photos (on IExplorer), you need to modify your “header.php” theme file:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">
......

  6. So a couple of things; all of the language that comes up for connecting is in Spanish? How do I get it into English?

    Also, I want there to be ONLY a ‘Login using Facebook’ option; IE, I don’t want to see the ‘Already a member?’ Loging, which logs in directly with WordPress.

  8. When I go to the application on facebook, I get this error:

    Errors while loading page from application
    Parse errors:
    FBML Error (line 60): illegal tag “body” under “fb:canvas”

    There are still a few kinks Facebook and the makers of mikefrancois.net 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!

  9. Hola Javi:

    gracias por atenderme ;)

    si es un toro no lo veo xD que raro porque me recorri el post de arriba a bajo y no lo vi.

    Veo tan interesante esta herramienta…. :D

    Una duda mas…. tienes idea de si podria implementarlo en PHP directamente…?

    Tengo un portal de bloggers no se si lo conoceras se llama “Blogesfera.com” (no pongo link para no spammerar) y estaria interesante conectar todos los bloggers mediante Facebook. El registro que tengo es tipico de PHP un formulario que inserta los campos en una tabla.

    Gracias nuevamente y perdona por tantas preguntas ;)

  10. I am getting the same error at Eric Leonardo when you click the facebook button

    The Facebook Connect cross-domain receiver URL (http://jefferyclark.net/WordPress/wp-content/plugins/fbconnect/xd_receiver.htm#fname=_opener&%7B%22t%22%3A3%2C%22h%22%3A%22fbCancelLogin%22%2C%22sid%22%3A%220.227%22%7D) must have the application’s callback url (http://www.jefferyclark.net) as a prefix. You can configure the callback url in the application’s settings.

    Any Ideas?

  14. Hola Javier:

    Tu pluggin es impresionante :D enhorabuena ;)
    pero tengo un problema, mi diseño esta creado por mi y no tengo la opcion de añadir widgets desde la pestaña de configuracion del diseño.
    ¿No hay algun codigo para añadirlo directamente a mi sidebar como hago con todos los pluggins?

    Gracias por todo y un abrazo.

  15. todo funciona bien pero no puedo ver el logo que dice connect with facebook.
    Agregue la linea xmlns:fb=”http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml pero sigue igual.
    Lo probe en firefox e internet explorer y es lo mismo
