    hmmm, that's a little puzzling. I'll see what happens as I try to publish this comment... brb after the jump ;-)

    Hi Robert, It seems to be jiving for me. The above comment posted on my profile (http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?i...). Feel free to drop another comment or two to see where the issue is.

    What should happen is that you post your comment on AE, and then Facebook will return a dialogue box asking whether you'd like to post on your FB profile too. I'm just wondering whether popup blockers or firewalls my affect you (although I don't think FB Connect suffers from this issue).

    Let me know how it works out. I've noticed you now have an account with Astroengine and you can track all the comments you make on the site, so that's good. We just need to figure out where the problem is with the posting to Facebook issue.

    Thanks for letting me know how it's working out, all info gratefully received!

    Cheers, Ian

    alright. trying one more time! thanks for the feedback. strange. i can't even get it to work on sociable.es.

    hmmm. ok. here's the thing. yeah. finally figured out that the facebook popup upon comment submission shows up after i scroll up after comment submission... too bad the box doesn't pop up right where the user is. i can imagine many users being confused. so yeah! at least it's working on your site. just didn't realize it.

    on my site, just now on IE, i scroll up after comment submission and see a facebook popup box that says:

    "Application response error
    Invalid template bundle id specified: 0. You can see this because you are one of the developers of the app."

    it's still under construction, but you can try at drinkjungle.com.

    i thought it might be the theme causing the problem, but i changed back to the default theme and i still get the error pop-up, so it's probably not that.

    which version of wordpress are you using? i'm using 2.7. also, using the latest 1.0 version of sociable's fb connect. the same issue happend to me with their previous version though. thinking might be a 2.7 issue...

    lol. and on that last comment. the facebook popup showed up right where i was down here at the bottom of the page... puzzling...

    Hey Robert,

    Just been checking out your site. Although the Facebook dialogue did not pop up as I posted my comments, it briefly appeared (and then blipped out of view) as I clicked "back" onto your homepage. Looks like some form data is being held by the browser and attempting to communicate with the FB server after the fact.

    I'll look into the dialogue box issue on Astroengine.You're right, it does seem to position itself rather oddly... occasionally off the page! I'll be keeping an eye on Sociable! for updates - they seem to have a lot of the issues in hand :-)

    Cheers, Ian

    hey there. thanks for taking a look at my site. don't use any of the info there as it's all dummy posts right now! ha ha.

    hmmmm. so i searched for "FB.Connect.showFeedDialog" in my page source code, but can't find it... where should i be looking?
  • Robert E · 12 months ago
    yo man! i got it to work. i knew it was something stupid and so obvious. for some reason i overlooked it. duh. #7 in the readme file: "create a new template". for some reason i just assumed there were default values in the fields already so a template was in the fb connector settings already. damn. i feel dumb. anyway, back to being productive. ha ha. thanks for your help! peace.

    hmmm. but seems to be a problem with safari... testing here. sorry for the spam today!
  • Ian O'Neill · 12 months ago
    Hey awesome, glad you found the issue. Yeah, the templates caused me some issues too.

    I haven't actually tested Safari yet... let's see...

    Glad things are moving in the rihgt direction - let me know when your site is fully running, I love the concept!
  • Robert E · 11 months ago
    hey there. so you test on safari? testing on your site on safari on PC now. let's see..
  • Ian O'Neill · 11 months ago
    Hey Robert! I had a play with Safari and it seems to look fine. Let me know how it goes with you. I've also tried Chrome, IE and Oprah; all good. Hows the site development going with you?

    Thank you , After a user logs in the widget does not render properly in Chrome. Also on my blog when the logged in user clicks their name to view their profile it destroys the layout of the site.
