Guide SpoogsIn order to use SA facebook Integration mod, you must create a facebook application.
Below find the basic requirements to successfully integrate your forum with Facebook.
1. Go to facebook.com/developers
2. Click "Setup New Application"
3. Choose a name for your application - your forum name can be used if you choose
4. You must agree to Facebook's Terms
Description - you may put a description for your application/website if you wish
Icon - You may use a 16x16 favicon if you wish
Logo - you may upload a logo to be used on facebook for your application if you wish
Language - (self explanatory) Select your preferred language
User Support Address - You MUST choose an option.
You MUST complete the field below based on your choice
Facebook automatically uses your personal email address if you do not complete this field
This field cannot be left blank
Contact Email - this is the email address that you would prefer to have Facebook contact you as the developer of the application
Privacy Policy URL & Terms of Use URL - I recommend yoursite/action=register
You may also simple copy the registration agreement into a post and provide a link to said post
Developers - (self explanatory) Add and remove other developers if needed
You do NOT need to click save at this time... just continue to the next step.
5. Click "Website"
5a. Site URL - Enter your website url.... must end with "/" or have "?" examples
http://mysite.com/ or
http://mysite.com/index.php? URL's must begin with http:// or https:// (as necessary)
5b. Site Domain - This is only needed if you are using sub-domains such as forum.mysite.com or anything.mysite.com
Domain names MUST NOT have http:// or https:// for example mysite.com and nothing else

Only use this step if you want to be able to access your forum on Facebook

6d. IFrame Size - Auto-resize is recommended (it attempts to limit the need for scroll bars)
6e. Bookmark URL - I recommend using your Canvas Page URL
