StackOverflow users thought this topic was best posted here, and so I willingly do so.<\/p>\n

First of all: the readme.txt of this module is seriously out-dated! It really needs a review concerning the FB updates.<\/p>\n

Now, the real problem: I have installed the module, inserted my appID and all that, but when in \/admin\/config\/people\/fbconnect I click on ‘appearance’ I get this fatal error:<\/p>\n

Fatal error: Call to a member function getUser() on a non-object in \/customers\/denotenbalkers.be\/denotenbalkers.be\/httpd.www\/sites\/all\/modules\/fbconnect\/fbconnect.module on line 421\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
When I click on ‘app settings’ it shows me the notice: “Ensure that you entered valid api keys.” but those keys ARE valid. Maybe I’m missing something from the readme? Ex.:<\/p>\n
5. Enter the Connect URL on Connect settings tab (e.g. copy value from admin\/settings\/fbconnect field “Connect url”).<\/strong> There is no such thing as a connect settings tab!<\/p>\n
6. Add your server to the Server Whitelist on Advanced settings tab on Facebook or disable Session Secret Whitelist Exception.<\/strong> What am I supposed to add here? Because only the url doesn’t work. I suppose an IP-address but I wouldn’t know which one.<\/p>\n
I’ve done all the rest, so I’m guessing that that’s the problem.<\/p>\n
EDIT \/ SOLUTION:<\/strong> The problem was that I followed the readme that was on Facebook Connect’s project page. The information in there is OUT-DATED and insufficient. The readme that comes with the module itself is the one you should read!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
