The permission "publish_stream" appears to no longer be supported on facebook. The new permission is called "publish_actions". This module will no longer post to facebook if you try and generate the site-wide token using the link within the module since it requests the old publish_stream permission.

I can write a patch to change all publish_stream permissions to publish_actions and this should fix the problem.

From facebook's developer page:

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions/v2.0

publish_actions:
Enables your app to post content, comments and likes to a user's stream and requires extra permissions from a person using your app. Because this permission lets you publish on behalf of a user please read the Platform Policies to ensure you understand how to properly use this permission. Note, you do not need to request the publish_actions permission in order to use the Feed Dialog, the Requests Dialog or the Send Dialog. Facebook used to have a permission called publish_stream. publish_actions replaces it in all cases. This permission also replaces photo_upload.

BTW, in case anyone searches for the problem based on the error message, this is the error message that you may see if you don't use the patch above:

Any idea if this was fixed in the D6 version of the module/

Or could I use the patch above (with or without) modifications to solve the issue?
