Nothing displayed about cakephp-facebook-plugin

Did you setup your Facebook application correctly? Do you have your configuration file setup within app/config/facebook.php? If so, I'd have to take a look at your view/layout page to determine what's going on.

Please refer to the example app for inspiration: http://svn.xp-dev.com/svn/facebook_example_app/

I've run into the same problem. My FB app is correct, config on the plugin correct.
I have verified that for the fanbox to work, I have to hardcode the appId into the function. Config:read won't read from facebook.php

[webtechnick]

Please verify it is in the correct directory. It needs to be in your APP/config not in the plugin/facebook/config.php

Thanks,
Nick

It is 100% in the correct directory.
If add configure:read I still get nothing. I modified helpers/facebook.php to read as follows:

function fanbox($options = array()){
debug('test' . Configure::read('Facebook.appId'));
$options = array_merge(
array(
'profile_id' => Configure::read('Facebook.appId'),
'stream' => 0,
'logobar' => 0,
'connections' => 0,
),
$options
);
return $this->__fbTag('fb:fan', '', $options);
}

The only thing that prints is test

I should also mention that I don't have the plugin installed in app/plugins, but rather the parent plugin directory

You must have not run the init in your layout. Make sure you run the $this->Facebook->init(); in your application layout as it will load and read the configuration file for the rest of the helper.

Yea I did that too. I just ended up hardcoding it into the fanbox (not ideal I know).
Thanks much for your quick reply (as always :D)
