    [Forum] Facebook Application ID ?

    I'm working on a clients forum, and need to enable Facebook Platform.

    Do I just login as myself in Facebook to enable this? Or does it have to be clients Facebook login?

    Thanks

    if you create the application using your facebook account you will be the unique owner. If for any reason you will delete your Facebook account your customer won't be able to use Facebook connect.

      That data should come from the clients own facebook account.

          That link works for me. You need to have a verified facebook account to be able to access facebook's developer area. This requires (in the usa) a valid mobile phone number, or a valid credit card on file.

            This link works: https://developers.facebook.com/

            Now what? Do I need to register a deveoper account? Is there no documentation for all this?

              A developer account, is just a facebook account that is verified. Do you have a facebook?

                  If you have a verified (must be verified) facebook account, you can go to https://developers.facebook.com/apps and create a new app.

                  If you do not have a verified account, it won't let you into the system.

                    I just went through this myself....

                    You have to go to https://developers.facebook.com/apps/

                    -Select "Create New App"
                    -Enter your desire app name (I used my site name to make it easy and hopefully boost SEO. In your case you may want to use your clients site name)
                    -Enter your namespace (Again I used my site name. The only difference here is you have to use all lowercase letters)
                    -Click continue
                    -This will take you to your app dashboard or setting area. Here you can edit details about the app, add site URL, and update email.
                    -Your FACEBOOK APP ID will be displayed at the top of the page along with your APP SECRET

                    I hope this helps!

                    I have gotten this far and editing the facebook information in admincp under settings. What does this do? I was hoping for integration with facebook (like buttons, comments, etc.) but nothing has changed on my pages. Do I need to add static HTML or how do I include this things as they are on the VB forums?

                        If you've entered the correct information in your AdminCP and enabled the Facebook platform, the relelvant buttons/options should show up. Can you give us a link to your iste please so that we can see this.

                              Same for me, nothing happens. Actually after submitting the facebook info the admin_cp kept saying "an error has occurred" .. i had to close the browser to correct this.
                              Now the information is in there but nothing happens.

                              This is a brand new installation
