Couldn't send facebook invitations

One of the most common problems with request not working is that the Facebook application is in the wrong category. Facebook has changed it so that requests are now only supported for the "Games" category. Please verify the category of your application.

Another issue is that the requests do not show up in the notification drop down up in the top menu bar of Facebook. In the Apps menu on the left side > click Games > click Activity tab and then you will see a list of requests.

After the category is games, please double-check the requests at this location and see if they are still missing.

Please add my test Facebook account as a developer to your application. I will want to look at how your application is configured. My FB user id is 100001459784756. Also, please send me a PM to backend credentials.

Thanks for the credentials. The problem was that you did not enter your Facebook application ID and secret key into the JFBConnect backend > Configuration > Facebook area.

I published the SCSocialWidget module for Super Users and logged in on the front-end. When I attempted to use the link to pop up the request window, I received the following error:

Once I added the app id and secret key, the request sent out properly to the user.

Navigated through the Games side menu:

That's how Facebook works. They used to send notifications to the main bar with a 'jewel' notification (the red number). Unfortunately, about 2 years ago, they switched notifications to only be for 'Games' and when they did that, the notifications only go to the App Center area.

I hope that helps explain,
