Greetings!

With Joomla's SEO "friendly-urls" and mod_rewrite activated, newly "Connected" users are treated to a scary 500-View not found error. The linking process appears to work, and additional logins occur without a hitch, but I would like to eliminate the error without having to turn off SEO/mod-rewrite.

Has this issue been isolated yet, or should I PM site details?

One thing that I've noticed (and may have an impact) is that the Login module appears to be incorrectly parsing my menus, so redirects end up a little shaky. Part of the problem was that it wasn't filtering out trashed menu items. The problem persisted after I emptied the trash, but there may be other gremlins causing problems in there.

With SEO off, the connection process appears to conclude successfully, save the login module not importing facebook avatars the first time around (it works on subsequent logins). I realize this is a TINY issue, but wanted to throw it out there anyway.

I've had the problem with Firefox 3.5, 3.6 and Safari.

Many thanks!

We have SEO urls enabled on our demo site and it seems to work:
[url:2wvltfpn]http://facebook.sourcecoast.com/[/url:2wvltfpn]

Are you sure you have your Redirect URLs set properly in the login module?


As for deleted menu items showing up in the login module parameters, we just use the param type "menuitem" which is built into Joomla! core. If it's showing deleted menu items, I think that is a core issue. If that's the case, I'm a member of the Joomla! Bug Squad and can enter a bug for it if one doesn't already exist. What version of Joomla! are you running?


If you want to PM an account so we can take a look at what you have setup, that works for us. If you just want to post details back that works as well.

Let us know. Thanks.

Troy ended up helping us find a bug on this one.

In JFBC Configuration under the User Configuration tab, there is a New User Redirection parameter. The instructions say "If left blank, the standard log-in page will be used." If left blank, this will go to the home page with SEF turned off and will send you to a 500 View not found if SEF is turned on. To fix this for now, I just set it as index.php on Troy's test site.

We will look at fixing this in the next release.

Thanks Troy!

I am having the same issue with and without the seo redirects turned on. I tried the index.php workaround - but it doesn't seem to work. I tried an actual page on the site - same thing 500 error. What do I need to do? I will have to disable the entire module <!-- s:-( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_sad.gif" alt=":-(" title="Sad" /><!-- s:-( -->

<!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="www.wcfc.com">www.wcfc.com

When you get the 500 error, does anything look wrong about the URL? Is your site in a subdirectory on your server or anything?

Let me know and I will try to help.

Thanks

I have the same problem,First time I click on the connect button popup window works, and when I click on connect I'm getting this 500 error:
http&#58;//www.my-domain.com/component/jfbconnect/?view=xdreceiver&format=raw&fb_login&fname=_opener&guid=0.42870879721115507&session=%7B%22session_key%22%3A%223.C5__y_wpi3yxjPaL4kFNfg__.3600.1270429200-1631478301%22%2C%22uid%22%3A1631478301%2C%22expires%22%3A1270429200%2C%22secret%22%3A%22Iw2bJcSOGhLsOEUG5LTuFg__%22%2C%22sig%22%3A%225fb2e6e9e8c3542b97f2e778eb7960eb%22%7D

If I click on the connect button again, it jumps directly to the 500 error....

Why is it doing this.... everything is done correct, I have even deleted the application, and started over MANY times.. and still this error comes...??

I have those settings in my Joomla configuration:

Search Engine Friendly URLs Yes
Use Apache mod_rewrite Yes
Add suffix to URLs No

I have tested it in both IE and FF, and error comes in both browsers

Once you have clicked on the Connect button, it should turn into a Logout button, so you shouldn't be able to click it again.

Another user that reported this problem was using another Facebook module that was conflicting. The other module was using a different Facebook API key in the init call. Once they switched it to use the correct one, it fixed everything.

I would view the source of your page and search for "init" to see if it's being called multiple times.

Let me know what you find.
