500 error just in IE with core SEF

This is the error i've seen elsewhere in this forum wherein the pop up box doesn't close and a 500 error is returned.

It does work if you connect from the home page of the site. Any other page and you get the error.

Is there a simple fix for this?

What version have you installed? This has been fixed with 2.0 stable. What version of sh404sef are you using at the moment?

I'm not using sh404sef at all. Just the core joomla SEF. I also have the 2.0 stable component.

found a solution that looks like it's fixing it.

this actually came from Eshelman who's done a great job supporting his fbcomment plugin for this component.

Open the file /components/com_jfbconnect/helpers/facebookhelper.php

Around lines 26 through 29 you should find this code:

function getXDReceiverLink()

{

return "index.php?option=com_jfbconnect&view=xdreceiver&format=raw";

}



Simply add a preceeding “/” to the line that starts with “return” so it looks like this:

function getXDReceiverLink()

{

return "/index.php?option=com_jfbconnect&view=xdreceiver&format=raw";

}

I was redirected to this forum for this issue. This is the error I am receiveing after trying to sign in through FB Connect:

I am using Joomla core SEF. I edited /facebookhelper.php file. Cookies are enabled for the site. Can anyone take a look at it at clockworkgreen.com? Will Uninstall/Reinstall possibly help?

Invalid Argument

The Facebook Connect cross-domain receiver URL (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="clockworkgreen.com/index.php?option=com_...%22%3A%220.535%22%7D">clockworkgreen.com/index.php?opt ... .535%22%7D) must have the application's Connect URL (www.clockworkgreen.com/">www.clockworkgreen.com/) as a prefix. You can configure the Connect URL in the Application Settings Editor.

That's the error I get when trying to use Facebook Connect on your site.

My site has the redirect loop error. Before that I had the avatar error.... hoping this will be fixed quickly as it is a totally cool plugin for jomsocial.

There is still a problem. When you say

Application Settings Editor

do you mean The component Global Configurations? I added my URL there, but it is still not working.

Basically, I go to the homepage. Click on the FB Connect icon in the dropdown from the upper right corner. The window pops up and I enter my email and pass. Then I am taken to the

Redirect Loop

error page. When I try to refresh my browser I can not get back to my homepage without clearing all the private data from the FF browser...

Really trying to get this up and going ASAP. Any other suggestions? <!-- s:? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_confused.gif" alt="" title="Confused" /><!-- s:? -->

UPDATE:

OK, so I think I figured it out. After having a friend test and it working for them, I started to look around some more. I had been using my own FB account to test the system. After creating a new joomla account through FB Connect, I had deleted that joomla user account. However, I did not realize that the FB account was still listed under the FB Connect component/User Map. When I deleted my account from there I was able to create a new registered account and login again without the error.

So, thanks for the help guys! Sorry for the confusion. Hopefully this post will help others in the future.
