Facebook Connect problem
Hello,

I have been using the Facebook Connect part for some time without any problems. Lately I have noticed that instead of FB login icon there is only a 'Connect' text without any link. Is there any way to fix it or some workaround for login through Facebook? I will be grateful for some advices.

Best regards,

RE:Facebook Connect problem
Hello,


It is strange. What version of Kentico CMS do you use? However, I would recommend to apply the latest hotfix.

Does it happen in all browsers?

Are there any errors on that page when you use Firebug?

Can you export the Facebook Connect logon web part from a clean installation of Kentico? If it is a problem, let me know and I will send you the export by e-mail.


Best regards,

RE:Facebook Connect problem
Hello,

I am using v5.5.3978. So far I managed to make the control appear by adding a javascript line to it:

$(document).ready(function() {
FB.XFBML.parse();
});


Now it would display and seems to connect to Facebook but after login site still looks the same and parts that should appear for logged user are not there.

It would be great if you could provide a clean Facebook Connect web part.

RE:Facebook Connect problem
Hello,


can you please upgrade to version 6 with the latest hotfix? It is a pretty old version which uses old facebook libraries. The new versions work ok. During upgrade you will also get the new versions of web parts. The upgrades are downloadable here: Upgrades.
