[Solved] Problem with facebook plugin ("UniqueID is required" error)
I am using the latest core version (2.0.17.8) but I am having the exact problem with the facebook plugin described by usuario123 here:
http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/13612/facebook-plugins-not-working-properly/p1
This was apparently fixed by 2.0.17.8 but i am still having this problem. I did not have the problem when I ran it on a shared server last week, but since moving my forum (fresh install of 2.0.17.8 with no importing) to a dedicated VPS yesterday, the facebook plugin displays ""UniqueID is required" after the user enters their facebook credentials.
as usuario123 had suggested, I tried using the line:
$Args['Target'] = $_GET['Target'];
but this didnt work either (regardless, it was apparently 'fixed' since November and a similar line was already in the version I have)
Also, my server meets all the requirements and has all the necessary permissions turned on.
I HAVE SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS ON THIS. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE THE HELP.
THANKS

Thank you.

It's because application can't access facebook website and can't get answer. Try to ping facebook.com website from your VPS. Try to makewget http://facebook.com/
command on your VPS and check result in local directory, is there any html file with facebook main page? The thing here is that you have to ensure that facebook is accessible from your VPS.Btw, are you sure you set up the facebook plugin correctly with all keys etc. in plugin settings page?
I see two ways where things go wrong:
1) facebook website is not accessible
2) authorization doesn't work because of misconfiguration of plugin

Hope they gonna include it in the next version of Vanilla
Thanks for the updated file, though I tried this but still have the same problem. I inspected the code in the file you provided and can confirm that it is already the same as the one on my server because i already manually added Alibaba's solution from the other thread.
I tried < wget http://facebook.com/ > I got the following when trying to open the file:
it does not create a html file... just that browser php file..
does this mean something in my VPS configuration is preventing it to log in?
also, yes the facebook settings are all correct..
----------------
And here is the PuTTY output when i use the wget command for facebook:
wget http://facebook.com/

As you can see, it does not create a html file, and the browser.php file does not work.
Will let you know how it goes and report the problem here in case anyone else needed it in the future...
I did actually go back and check the keys several times, but i never noticed the tiny white space at the start of one of the keys that shouldn't of been there. I always check for white spaces at the end of a string when copy/pasting, but never at the start.
...I wasted about 8 hours and $40 on outsourcing over a single white space.
Moral of the story:
I am an idiot.
I'll mark this question as solved, but won't close it, because tester made an interesting remark and maybe we can dive deeper into that remark.
There was an error rendering this rich post.
Anyway, I need sleep now but if you folks don't mind looking at my site forum and helping me with another problem I'm having that would be great.
I have the forum imbedded into the blog but it seems to leave very little room to post/read, etc. Is there an easy way to change this? http://www.maghosttrappers.com/discussions/
Site is brand new so still very bare but I'd like to get things up and running soon.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions,
Scott
