How in the world do I make the Facebook App work?

[rondunnjr]

Where do I find all the answers to all the questions that the Facebook integration is asking me?

App URL? Canvas Page?

How do I get a Facebook developer account?

Do I have to buy and install a SSL to make it work?

IMO: there should be a warning that this is NOT an easy integration.

As required by Facebook for all their apps, your vBulletin Facebook App must be
hosted via HTTPS enabled / secure URL

Ok... what about all the other stuff?

What is a Canvas Page? App URL?

Have you read the instructions provided in the app download?

I am following the steps one by one and I don't see any instructions.

I was asked if I agreed to something, then taken to a page asking a whole bunch of confusing questions. General Information, App Images, Appearance, etc.

Where do I download the instructions?

developers.facebook.com setup canvas and everything there but yes will need to read the instructions

Thanks SteveLV702

For the record this is what I saw:

Facebook Publisher- information & start
Important: Instructions
Download Mobile API for vBulletin 3.x

So I clicked on the 1st/top link called Facebook Publisher - information & start

That is where I got all the confusing questions. In hind site... I should have went to step 2 "Important: Instuctions", before step 1.

Does anyone offer installation services for the Facebook integration? I don't have time to align 13 moons and such.

Ya they should have the instructions first but not much we can do

There are plenty of instructions and they are very detailed. I had no issues with the install what so ever.

No doubt I could do it... "eventually" but I was under the impression this was a simple integration. I don't have time to wade through "very detailed" instructions. I need it to work ASAP.

The quickest way to get it to work, is to follow the instructions.

You say that as if the instructions were easy to follow.

I guess I am a dummy since I don't understand the instructions. What are my other options for getting this to work?

If you follow this document https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/atta...2&d=1322521605 line by line it is a very easy setup. It only took us 20 or 30 min to do everything including setting up ssl on our server and tweaking the final look of the app.
