invite not working was created by remington
I just saw that the invite function is not working.
The moduleis displayed as usual and I'm also able to select the friends I want to invite, but after trying to send the invites there's an error box:
"Hoppla. Etwas hat nicht funktioniert. Wir versuchen dies so schnell wie möglich zu reparieren." - which means "sorry, something went wrong. We try to fix this as soon as possible."
Is this a know error coming from facebook or do I have to look at something at my site?

We're seeing it on our demo site as well, which definitely worked at least 2 days ago. Investigating. Seems to be a Facebook bug, but will let you know if we find anything more out.

Thanks for the report,
Alex

thanks alex,
something else regarding invite module: just tried the invite module at my site and also at your demo site with opera browser. there you can only see the box but no people (empty) - this might be interesting for you ;-)

Alex,
The following bug report is the one to follow from Facebook about this issue. If you're using the 'full' Invite view, there is a workaround. If you're using the Condensed version, there isn't currently one and you'll need to wait for a fix from Facebook:
developers.facebook.com/bugs/28816869120...0977928d048361972345

To fix the full version, edit the /modules/mod_jfbcinvite/tmpl/default.php file. Around line 52, you'll see:
<fb:multi-friend-selector
On the next line add the "import_external_friends" setting as shown below (with the above line as well):
<fb:multi-friend-selector
import_external_friends="0"

Hope that helps, and thanks for reporting this. We're planning a complete revamp of the Invitation logic to move to an improved system. Shooting to replace the currently available system in 4.1 (roughly December).

thanks alex,
this one line fixed my invite module ;-)
have you checked the opera things? invite for example isn't showing up and when you login using opera the wall message at facebook isn't posted. really curious ^^ (tested with newest opera) but that's not urgent at my end (don't use opera usually) - it's just for your information.

Alex,
Glad that fixed your issue.

Just tested with Opera, and I am seeing the same thing you see (no avatars). Facebook in the past hasn't always played nice with Opera, though it generally works very well. Unfortunately, I don't know offhand what's up with that, but I'll be looking into it more to see if there's anything we can do, like the above code fix, to get it going.

Thanks for the report, and hope everything else is going well,
Alex

Aloha,
a friend of mine called me today and was at a loss of how to do this fix. Anyhow i used the mentioned method and now the users list hangs when trying to load. if we take the code out, user list will show but with original error.

any guess
