Hello. A month ago I sent an email to tech support about an issue I
encounter when enabling Facebook Chat for pidgin. I got a response asking
for me to clarify my info. When I did (about 2 weeks ago), I have yet to get
a response.
I am using the most updated version of pidgin and would like to enable a
Facebook Chat XMPP account. No matter what settings I change/enter, the
buddy list has a notification saying "Not authorized." I have created an
account username on Facebook.com. I have also waited several days for the
username to fully integrate into the Facebook server, as recommended by some
people in the webchat. I would like to stop using AIM+Facebook when
possible, and fully integrate with the Pidgin interface.
Here are the settings I have within pidgin
*Basic*
**Protocol - XMPP
Username - onebree (what my FB username is)
Domain - chat.facebook.com
Resource - BLANK
Password - PASSWORD
Create new account on server - unchecked
*Advanced*
Connection security - use encryption if available
Allow plaintext auth over unencrypted streams - checked
Connect port - 5222
Connect server - chat.facebook.com
File transfer points - proxy.eu.jabber.org
BOSH URL - BLANK
Show custom smileys - checked
*Proxy*
Proxy type - none
The original person from tech support (as well as users on a pidgin web
chat) linked me to several websites. None of the online step-by-step guides
helped, as I seem to have a newer or different version of Pidgin.
Thank you.
