Yeah, I thought it would be that easy. I went back and cleared ALL caches again. I went to my server and saw previous there was a login_screen.tpl cached version in my site theme directory… I removed it. There are no *.tpl files in my own themes or theme_custom directory, they are all in default. So I'd think that would get rid of any possiblity of it being overridden. And the appid is filled in. admin zone > configuration > Feature Options > social networking > facebook apid. Makes no sense to me.

I did not realize api and appid were the same. Damn. Now I've got to figure out how to set the rest up, as when I click on the connect button it tells me 'ocportal is under construction please try back later'.

First, on the main page, you get a 'facebook connect' button. If I go over to say chat or FAQ page, it is a 'facebook login' button. Does anyone out there have this working? Also, I was reading FB's documentation… they show something different for logging on and for registering. Should there be two different things on ocportal for that, or does ocportal use the login to register people?

Not sure on this – should just be a login. Did you add anything of your own maybe? Or is it one of the main_facebook_* blocks? It should work, but I'll be the first to admit it's not easy to get right. There are so many dependencies and interconnections in all this. There's no registering thingie. That's quite a new thing FB have released, and it's not so popular because it's kind of a bit defeating the point because it's an unhappy medium.

Yeah, sometimes I get 'connect' and sometimes 'login' If you go to FB and make sure you are logged out, then hit the 'connect' button it gives: Then type in your fb login and pw and get: Now if you go to to say the 'Guide' page where you actually get the 'login' button and hit that I get: type in your fb login and pw and the popup goes away, and ocportal 'reloads' like it should be logging you in… but comes back with you not logged in and the 'login' button there. Sorry if all this is a bit much, I figure the more examples/documentation of the issue the better. If anyone has this working, I'd like to know, and see it, and hear what they have done to make it work. It's really not an important part of the stuff I want to do with my site, but it would be cool and handy.

That's the way I feel and the reason I'm waiting until others have worked out the kinks. I believe success relies on swinging a chicken in a bog over your head while you stand on your left leg facing east.  Thanks for all the work you are doing to debug this. Bob |

Did you check this? Must be exact, e.g. no www/no-www difference. If I answered something that you think should be in the documentation, please take the initiative and add it to the community documentation. We really need people to help out here and build a well-organised large support resource. |

it is set to www now, so I can get rid of that in the fb setup and try. Man, I have been searching the web for information on the FB api. Water is easier to find in the gobie… Will keep pinging at it until I start having nightmares about the guys that started FB.

A user is already on your ocportal system. they choose to log in via FB. How does ocP reconcile the FB account to an already registered users account? And if they have never been on the site, how does it take info from FB and 'register' them on the ocP site?

You need to make sure either people are educated to only use one, or put a redirect on the other. It's good advice anyway.
When logged in the button is also there, in which case it connects accounts and informs the user they must henceforth log in using Facebook. But they can undo it via resetting their password.

Though the entry does exists, just the text of it is an error message.
