When using the fbconnect login, I am logged into Facebook itself OK, but I do not get logged into my site. I have to log into that separately after doing the fbconnect login.

Some points to note:

- When logging out of my site, I am logged out of both the site and facebook correctly.
- In the fbconnect config I can save updates back to the Facebook application OK.
- In the fbconnect tab of my profile on my site, all I see is "Your account is not linked with a Facebook account or you are not authorized to edit the Facebook connect settings of this account." I can find nowhere to make such a link nor any user permisison relating to fbconnect.

Update: I have since seen references to and a screenshot of a fbconnect/register/prompt page. At no point during any logins through fbconnect am I taken to a registration page, and if I try to manually point the browser to that page I get an access denied error.

I have tried installing again with a clean Drupal test installation and it is now working fine and also works on my production site. I'm not sure what caused the problem on my previous test installation.

I have the same problem and I do see the registration page as well, very frustrating if a clean install is the only solution. this renders the module unusable.

The point of trying it on a clean install is to find out if it works at all. Since we know it works in some cases we need to do the legwork for vectoroc to figure out what it is about our site that is breaking the module. This module is only two weeks into active development again so try to be compassionate since there's a LOT to fix under his new maintainership.

Better status. I also saw this at one point but I'm pretty certain it was because I hadn't followed all the steps in the install to the letter. I agree with vosechu—we need to tie down exactly what is happening and demonstrate a bug before the maintainer should have to look at this.

having the same issue. Also documentation which is posted on module page [not readme] has at least one error. "Post-Authorise Callback URL: Paste in the following URL http://example.com/sites/all/modules/fbconnect/xd_receiver.html"
Well, xd_receiver.html DOES NOT exist WHILE xd_receiver.inc DOES EXIST. So, if there is one error maybe there are some other issues with documentation, which can help to resolve this thread.

But, I have installed the module and extracted php from facebook platform into client folder. I get no errors other than "Unable to autoconfigure your application settings, make sure you are logged into Facebook", which forces me to manually configure the application. In the application i have input post url with mywebsitesdomain.com/sites/default/modules/fbconnect/xd_receiver.inc not html - but neither works AND connect url is mywebsitedomain.com.

Now, on my login form i click fbconnect image and IF i am logged out of facebook it asks me to login - which after login redirects me within the popup to my websites front page unauthenticated - frustrating ... If i am logged into facebook then it simply opens popup with my front page - not logged in.

I read and re-read both readme and documentation - cannot find a solution

Re "Unable to autoconfigure your application settings, make sure you are logged into Facebook" what I discovered is that you need to log OUT of your own site, then click the login to Facebook option provided by fbconnect, and once you have authenticated with Facebook you then select the option to link with and existing user, and log in with your admin user.

At this point, your two accounts are now correctly linked. If you then again try to autoconfigure the settings, it will work.

Seems like a) this needs to be documented, and b) this is probably just a work-around for a bug that should be fixed, when it can be tied down.

does this mean the USER1 email address from the drupal site HAS TO BE the same email address from the FACEBOOK ACCOUNT where i created the FACEBOOK APPLICATION?
because i added a new user do the drupal site with a different email (i created all that stuff to have facebook account and application independent from my own admin account)

I do not see this option to link with existing user.

It simply doesn't work. It gives errors for CAPTCHA and Birthday module.

I had to remove this module to save my site's login functionality from complete failure.
