XF 2.1 Setting Up Facebook Application

[Alfuzzy]

Hello,

I'm setting up the Facebook application for my site...and I'm following the "Creating a Facebook application" instructions from the Xenforo 2 manual. I've gotten to the point where I'm "Testing the connected account"...and I'm getting the following error:



In the Facebook application account area...both Client OAuth Login & Web OAuth Login are set to "Yes"...and the "OAuth redirect URI" is exactly the same as it is in the "Basic board information" > "Board URL" in the XF AdminCP.



Not sure if it's important...but have tried with & without www in the URL. Both ways I get the error.

Kind of confused where the issue is,

Thanks

Wow...not sure what happened but I got it working (passed the test). Originally I manually typed in the "Valid OAuth Redirect URI" (multiple attempts)...and the Connected Provider Test failed. Then I tried copying & pasting the board URL shown in the XF AdminCP "Test Provider" window...and it worked when tested.

The two were exactly the same. Very confusing that the copied & pasted URL from the AdminCP worked...but manually typing it in did not.

Still one question. When & where does the Facebook icon show up? I cleared the browser cache for the website...and refreshed the home page...but no Facebook icon.

Thanks

Which Facebook icon?
On the register page?

It's showing for me.

Hi Brogan,

I was expecting it to be something similar to one of the Facebook icon's in the left corner of the Xenforo.com footer area. Maybe I was mistaken.

One of these two:



Thanks

p.s. I do see it on the register page.

Those are share icons and custom added social media icons respectively.

The registration icons appear in the log in and registration pages.

Just to confirm. Are you saying both of the circled share icons in the screenshot are both via add-on products or custom work?

The registration icons appear in the log in and registration pages.

Ok I see. I was mistaken what I was expecting. I think I was expecting a share icon. But the registration icon is helpful too.

Thanks
