Facebook Connect issues?

Anyone else having problems with facebook connect as of an hour or so ago? I've tried other random sites and they don't seem to work either (non boonex)

Thanks

User's get to this page:

An nothing happens... just a blank screen...

You can try my site if you want. http://www.deanbassett.com/

You most likely will not have the same problem there. I don't use the boonex version of facebook connect. I use my own.

Facebook made some changes to the API this month. I am really quite surprised this did not happen at the beginning of the month like it should have if facebook stuck to their schedule.

Figured as much. How long would it take to switch to yours? Logged in just fine on your site :)

I would have probably been quick... if the friggin standard one didn't fail to uninstall... It failed without any details the first time... then the 2nd says this:

The fields are actually dropped...

#@$%

Uninstallation of: Facebook connect Failed

ALTER TABLE `Profiles`DROP INDEX `FacebookProfile`;

ALTER TABLE `Profiles`DROP `FacebookProfile`;

Not long.

Upload, install and configure. Can use the same API keys you used for the boonex version.

Best to leave the settings at the defaults for the module until you learn what all of them can do. It has a lot more options.

ALTER TABLE `Profiles`DROP INDEX `FacebookProfile`;

ALTER TABLE `Profiles`DROP `FacebookProfile`;

 Figures. You will need to put that profile field back in and try the uninstall again.

To put it back in, just run this query from phpMyAdmin.

    ALTER TABLE `Profiles` ADD `FacebookProfile` VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL;

I just commented it out from the uninstall.sql...

Got it going. Thanks for this. I'm guessing we'll see a number of other reports coming in soon :)

Your welcome.

I kinda count on things like this. This normally happens with almost every version of dolphin. Tho i think boonex managed to make it through the 7.0.8 version without having to update facebook connect. But it normally always happens. Then you have to wait for boonex to update it.

I release new versions of mine 3 to 4 times per year. So i will usually have a updated version out before facebook changes go into effect.

I post updates when i release new versions in the products support forum. http://www.boonex.com/forums/topic/Deanos-Facebook-Connect-Support.htm so you might want to check every once in a while for updates. Facebook makes changes all the time. So this module gets updated frequently.

what's the purpose of allow user's to edit the facebook ID field, and also, I noticed it was added to the join form... why can they manually provide it? If they have logged in via FBC, and they change the value... will that screw them up?

It's in the profile area so those with existing accounts that have a email address that does not match the one they used in facebook have a way to tie there existing account to their facebook account.

It's on the join form for the option that passes facebook info to the dolphin join form on signup.

Yea, your members could screw it up. But i have never seen it happen. If their email on facebook is the same one used with dolphin, which usally is when joining with facebook then the ID will be corrected the next time they connect with FB.

You can move those fields into the inactive area if your want. But do not delete them.

If they put in their ID, could they then use Facebook connect? Or do they still need to have the same email too...?

Depends on the option to match email addresses in the settings. The option is on by default.

So if it is on, only one will be needed to match existing accounts. Either the email or facebook ID. If your not matching emails then the facebook ID is needed.

But yes, thats what that field is there for. If they put a facebook ID in that field in their existing account, it will then be used for facebook connect.
