Facebook connect doesn't appear to do anything

Works fine in IE9 in all my tests. Clicking the button also works fine on your site. What's the problem exactly?

@tassierambler, the reason FBC is failing for you is because the below fatal PHP error.

I've no idea what's causing the above. Some searching mentioned an out of date database and you may have some sql files to run in installation/sql/mysql/. I recommend posting the above query error to Joomla forums as you may have better results understanding what is happening there.

I confirmed on mu J1.7 database that ordering is supposed to be there. If you migrated or upgraded from a J1.6 or J1.5 install then you likely did not perform the necessary database upgrades as well. If upgrading from J1.6 it should have been via Extension Manager > Updates (copy, paste, replace is thing of the past as it does not upgrade database).

I recommend reinstalling Joomla given content install/setup is not too great or attempting to run the SQL upgrade scripts included with the Joomla package at installation/sql/mysql/ (they must be executed from phpmyadmin or similar DB software).

OK, I ran those scripts (by the by i use Softaculous to originally upgrade to Joomla 1.7) and I have added the required field and index, but the CB Connect module still doesn't do anything.

Please ensure you're testing with debug mode and maximum error reporting enabled. Then see during the login process if you receive any fatal errors. I reviewed those scripts and simply running them will not be sufficient enough as they do not replace the database prefix so if they insert new rows or new tables they are doing so to #__ rather then your actual database prefix (e.g. jos_).

Yes, of course I did that. I found the sql you mentioned, I then went into phpadmin and added the 'ordering' field and the required index, then ran the page with full debug catching on and the front page loaded fine (I no longer got that error message), however CB Connect still doesn't work.

Doesn't work isn't descriptive. What "exactly" happens when you click the button? Please also test with default Joomla template as often 3rd party templates forget to include the message tag causing none of CB Connects error messages to display.
