Some people have been forwarding me this email message that they received from Facebook:

We currently detect that your app is using the old JavaScript SDK (FeatureLoader.js). This library will no longer work for authentication on February 1st, 2012 since it does not support OAuth 2.0. In May, we announced that all apps on Facebook need to support OAuth 2.0 by October 1st, 2011. Please upgrade to the new JavaScript SDK by February 1st, 2012 to avoid any disruption of service to your app.

The Simple Facebook Connect plugin has not used the FeatureLoader.js script since before version 1.0, which was released 5 months ago. Version 1.2 of SFC fully integrated OAuth 2.0 authentication, and it was released 5 weeks ago.

So if you’re getting this email from Facebook, upgrade SFC to the latest version. Problem solved.

Didn’t know about this one, but if you’re having a problem where the FB login buttons added by SFC don’t seem to do anything, try this:

  1. Go to https://developers.facebook.com/apps/ and click on the App in question.
  2. In the left menu, under Settings, click Advanced and look at the settings in the Migrations section.
  3. Switch the “Encrypted Access Token” setting to ‘Enabled’.

Might fix the issue.
