Issue Summary

Hi, I'm been trying to figure out on how to get it working with my website. A message of "Platform needs to be installed. See readme file" keeps appearing on the page. I've read the readme file but it is not clear.

I've downloaded http://developers.facebook.com/clientlibs/facebook-platform.tar.gz however, where do I extract the files to?

Can anyone provide me more info?

Thank you.

I managed to get rid of the message, "Platform needs to be installed" by extracting the tar.gz to modules/facebook_auth/facebook-platform.

However, when I click on the link which link to http://www.domainname.com/facebook?destination=node, i keep getting "Page Not Found" error.

Any idea how to get it working? I've been figuring on how to install this module for few hours already.

have you tried going to the module page or update page to reset the caches?
I can't remember how the drupal 6 menu cache works, but its possible its cached turned off without the platform installed.

Did you add your api keys?

Maybe if that doesn't work, try disabling then re-enabling the module?

#3

I tried reset the caches already and I added the api keys as instructed in ReadMe file.

But when I point the browser to http://www.domainname.com/?q=facebook, it seems to be working fine.

I am not sure why but when i go to domain.com/facebook it just gives the directory listing of platform client files

I was having the same problem. What I did was flush all the cache files, and make sure there was no /facebook directory in my root folder. Once I did that, it no longer gave me the "page not found" error. However, now I'm having a different problem - facebook says my application is under construction, and not working. Any ideas why?
Update - I needed to fix the canvas callback url. Now, I'm having this error:

API Error Code: 100
API Error Description: Invalid parameter
Error Message: Requires valid next URL.

If I create a /facebook directory in my root folder, it still shows the "page not found" error. What am I doing wrong?
