I am using JRB connect 2.1.2, Joomla 1.5.10 using rockettheme sentinel template. FB login, FB invite modules are enabled. FB authenication and JFBConnect Namespace is enabled. API & Key stuff is working. Once I attempt to log on FB I get the dialog box. After what appears to be a successful login, it renders the front page of my website with no scroll bar in another window. FB connect status does not change on the main window. My link is <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="westheimer.com/site">westheimer.com/site . my callback and connectr URL are both set to westheimer.com/site">westheimer.com/site. Any ideas?

Can you specify the browser your using? I seem to be able to connect through Facebook just fine using Firefox. We're hearing a couple of grumblings for different issues with users using Safari.

Just let us know and we'll investigate more.

I'm having the same problem. It ONLY happens in Firefox. A window pops up to connect to facebook, after you log in to facebook the connect page appears in the popup window, the main site is not redirected, and the user is not logged it. Here is a link: dscriber.com . Did you figure this out?

The best suggestion I can give when this happens is the following:
- Re-create your Facebook application leaving all values at their default.
- Set your Canvas Callback Url and Connect Url to your home page
- Get the API/Secret keys and put them into JFBConnect and verify it works.

We've given this suggestion in numerous other posts, and people have always said it works. It seems there's some setting that causes this in the Facebook application. We haven't been able to find it, but if you get it to work using the above, and then want to customize your application further, let us know if you ever find the magic switch causing this. We'd love to test further and provide a workaround (if possible) to avoid this in the future.
