YAFB - Yay! Another Facebook Bridge

[mrpaint]

mrpaint

I wanted to thank you for this great plugin as its one of its kind and really sweet.

I noticed that in the last release you included the ability to not allow the facebook posting feature in hidden forums or area that non-registered members can access. This is great but I was hoping that this was a bit more flexible for example I may have forums that are not accessible from the general members but available for premium members where I want then to use the facebook posting feature. I thing to make this happen you will have to be able to allow the ability to include/exclude forums ID's to be more exact....

I will add a override option for each forum in the next release

Love what you have done with the mod so far. Great job.

I may have to see about migrating over at some point. Hate to lose the Google Connect feature of vBnexus but you have a ton of interesting functions :)

Hmm, look like I should start building migration tool to help people using this product. Hehe

How do I edit the Navbar so it doesnt have the black border around "connect with Facebook"

Also if someone is already registered on my site, how do they link there facebook account?

And nothing is appearing on peoples Facebook walls

Screenshot

Open the Style Manager and edit template named "fbb_navbar_button"
If someone registered in vBulletin system, they can connect their Facebook accounts in UserCP > Facebook Bridge > Options

Any word about compadability with vb 4?
Not yet but soon. I'm very excited with vBulletin 4.0 right now :D Can't wait to test it out

anytime i click on a link to connect to facebook i get this

The page you requested was not found.
Please make sure you upload the file named "facebook.php" to your forum root

[matthewhotdude]

Open the Style Manager and edit template named "fbb_navbar_button"
If someone registered in vBulletin system, they can connect their Facebook accounts in UserCP > Facebook Bridge > Options




That option is not in the Usercp :(

Oh and also my other question I posted? about things not getting posted onto Facebook?? Did you see the screenshot?

[Calash]

Hmm, look like I should start building migration tool to help people using this product. HeheI know going from Facebook Connect to vBnexus was fairly easy. It just requires a query to migrate the Fbid -> vbid table, then a second to create the settings.

Going from vBnexus to here should not be that difficult. The key will be to filter out the Google Connect information.

Ill take a look at it on my test site and see what would need to be done.


Edit:

This query gets the info from vBnexus to your fields in the user table. Facebook users still have to reconnect so the default settings on Facebook side work but it is pretty painless. Still testing, but feel free to use the code if it will help.


UPDATE vb_users as a, vb_vbnexus_nonvbuser as b
SET a.fbuid = b.nonvbid
WHERE b.type=1 AND a.userid = b.userid
vb_ should be replaced with your table prefix. I tested this on my test site, linking to a new FB application and it worked.

A similar query should work for migrating from Facebook Connect


UPDATE vb_users as a, vb_fbuser as b
SET a.fbuid = b.fbuid
WHERE b.type=1 AND a.userid = b.userid
This block is untested but should work.



On a side note, this seems to have some issues with scripts outside of the vb forum path. The Navbar link should probably have the bburl variable in it to correct the problem.


Double Edit:

The fbb_navbar_button template is to blame for this. By adding the bburl variable to the facebook.php path it now works outside of the vBulletin directory.



<td id="navbar_fbb" class="vbmenu_control">
<a id="navbar_fbb_link" href="$vboptions[bburl]/facebook.php" rel="nofollow">
<img src="$vboptions[bburl]/fbb/facebook_logo_16x16.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0"/>
$vbphrase[fbb_navbar_button_text]
</a>
</td>





Sorry if I went overboard there. When I get on a roll it is hard to stop me sometimes ;)

[mrpaint]

@Calash: You did a great thing up there. Thank you, I will include your script and your name in the next release. Is it okie? :D

[mrpaint]

That option is not in the Usercp :(

Oh and also my other question I posted? about things not getting posted onto Facebook?? Did you see the screenshot?
Please make sure you put the API Key and Secret in the Options page (AdminCP > Facebook Bridge > Edit Settings).

I looked at your screenshot, it showed that the user was connected but he/she didn't grant any extend permissions (this can prevent post being published in the future)

[matthewhotdude]

Yes I have inputted the API key and the secret, nothing still shows up in the usercp

[mrpaint]

Yes I have inputted the API key and the secret, nothing still shows up in the usercp
Please take screenshots of your settings page (in AdminCP) and your UserCP page (especially the left column). I will try to figure out what's wrong

[Calash]

<a href="http://www.chattaboxforums.com/profile.php?do=fbb" target="_blank">http://www.chattaboxforums.com/profile.php?do=fbb</a>

If I was to guess, I would say your skin is missing the template hook in the Usercp. For kicks I signed up on your site and, by putting the path above in by hand, was able to set my permissions correctly.

[matthewhotdude]

So how do I solve it ?

[Calash]

Check your USERCP_SHELL template and make sure it has the $template_hook["usercp_navbar_bottom"] hook in it.

[matthewhotdude]

Oop sorry yes it's there $template_hook[usercp_navbar_bottom]

[Calash]

Here is the code from my USERCP_SHELL


</tbody>
$template_hook[usercp_navbar_bottom]
</table>
<!-- / usercp nav -->


Do a search for the <!-- / usercp nav --> part, then put the hook in before the </table> above it. This should put it at the correct point.

[matthewhotdude]

Sorry it was already there, I missed it before because I searced with the " in place

[mrpaint]

I have just visit your site and connected successfully. Yeah, it looks like your template is missing the hook part. Make sure you look at the active style, not the default one.

I also published a test feed using this link: http://www.chattaboxforums.com/profile.php?do=fbbtest&test=publish_stream

Okie, try to figure the template part and I think it's done

[matthewhotdude]

The hook is there, for the active style

</tbody>
$template_hook[usercp_navbar_bottom]
</table>
<!-- / usercp nav -->

My users have come across a bug..

My Facebook has started posting a generic "I have just sent you a Private Message in My Site Page" every time I pm someone here.

I have the pms turned off in my options, and have even tried disabling facebook integration altogether and resetting everything a couple times, but it still does it.
settings are:

Sending private message
* Post wallpost - Sleeping

[mrpaint]

Just a guess, try to temporary disable the plugin that add the menu named "Edit Countdown/Countup". I'm afraid that plugin override the template_hook and wipe off Facebook Bridge menu items

Hmm... The notifications are controlled by the receiver (your member, the receipents), not the sender (you). Ask him/her to turn off the notification options in his/her account and you can try to send PM again. If he/she still receives notifications, I will take a deeper look :D

Damn, so no way of having them both work

[mrpaint]

Did you try disable that plugin?
If it's the one that cause the problem, we can change the priority a little bit and both of them will work. But at first, try disabling it and tell me the result please :D

[matthewhotdude]

Yes I disabled it, and it worked

[matthewhotdude]

Another question, How do I get things to show up on my friends news stream, at the moment things only post to my wall

[mrpaint]

Yes I disabled it, and it worked
Okie. So you need to increase the priority of the other plugin and let it run before YAFB's plugin. YAFB is designed to work with other plugins ;)

Go to AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Plugin Manager > Look for a hook location named "usercp_nav_complete" of the other plugin then click Edit. Set the Execution Order to any value lower than 5. I suggest 1. Save it and you are done. Cheers!

[mrpaint]

Post get published on your wall can be seen on your friends' News Feed (the feed when you access Facebook > Home). If you asked for publishing to friends' wall, there are several actions that support that kind of publishing such as sending PM. You can try on the demo board if you want: http://daohoangson.com/vb38

I did that, re enabled it, and now only the facebook bridge shows up in userCP

*Update, sorted it thank you loads

After visiting the URL http://www.chattaboxforums.com/profile.php?do=fbbtest&test=publish_stream (Publish a `Test` newsfeed to your friends' stream), there are 2 possible cases:

If you granted the extend permission "publish stream", the post will be published automatically
If you didn't, a dialog will appear asking you to publish the post. You have to click Publish to let it go through

Both way will result into a published post which can be viewed by your friends

[matthewhotdude]

Ahhh sorry it works. So it only posts on news feed when someone posts a new topic, and not when they reply. correct?

[drsli]

I?m grateful for the continous support and nominated this for motm a few days ago. :)

[matthewhotdude]

How can I remove the facebook link from the postbit?

And a request, The facebook box in the profile is a bit poor in my opinion, too small and would be better if it was a full page tab

See screen shot

[Strike3ForumsMH]

Perhaps I am just not firing on all cylinders tonight (wouldn't be a first.) But everything seems good except no matter what I click, register or login, I get brought back to the original connect page. Could you take a look mrpaint and let me know where I went wrong?

A little tricky but please edit the phrase named "fbb_please_connect" to something short. I suggest using a single sentence. And especially, please do not use the symbol '

I wondered if anyone here has 'tackled' getting their site to actually display within an iframe on the google page. The mod is great as is the FB Connect mod, but both open a new window and then display the vb site. It would be nice to simply display the site inside an iframe on facebook and utilize the facebook skin to make it look just like a real facebook application.

has anyone done this?

A while back somebody had modified vB to run as a facebook application.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=203262&highlight=facebook

I do not know the details of how he did it, and it seems to be off-line now but it was done and worked.

There is also a couple of good skins that make your forum look like Facebook.

[accludetuner]

Just installed and I'm playing around with it. Getting this error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class Facebook in /path/to/forum/fbb/fbplatform/facebook.php on line 37

It happens right after you connect your forum profile to facebook. It shows my name and avatar on facebook and even says "Congratulation, /name/.
Connection to Facebook has been established!".

When you click "Save Changes" after that is when the error is happening. it's at this URL:

http://www.sitename.com/forum/profile.php?do=fbb


I don't have any other facebook mods so I don't know. I'll keep looking into it on my side but if you have any ideas it would sure help!

Looks like an awesome mod! Can't wait to get it working and try it out! Thanks

[matthewhotdude]

Did you upload everything to the correct place?

Oh you don't have open invitor installed or anything like that?

[accludetuner]

yeah, open invitor....will look into the conflict. I might just rename the class facebook within open invitor

[matthewhotdude]

Yea that's the conflict. I could never get open inviter to work at all

[accludetuner]

It works great for me. I did have some install issues but once those were worked out, no issues at all.

Now, to get the two to play nicely together.... this should be fun. :(

[matthewhotdude]

I just ended up deleting the facebook class on Open invitor

[accludetuner]

I got it!

I altered YAFB instead.

I renamed "Facebook" to "Facebook1" in these 3 files:

fbb/fbplatform/facebook.php - on line 37
fbb/functions.php - on line 82
fbb/fbplatform/facebookapi_php5_restlib.php - on lines 78 and 3052

matthewhotdude - it's been almost a year since openinvitor got installed so I don't remember exactly what the issue was, but if you want me send you the files I have for it I can do that. Send me a PM if you want them.

[mrpaint]

Hi mates,

I have just released the new version (2.1) with most of improvements are placed in AdminCP. Besides, the sharing ability is increased with meta tags support for Facebook's servers' requests. I hope you guys like it

For those who installed 2.0.2: just download the upgrade file, it's smaller and take less time to upload to your server ;)

A special note: If you use the share button in posts, make sure to place an image named "share_facebook.gif" in button directory. If you don't want to use that button, go ahead and disable it in settings page (AdminCP > Facebook Bridge > Edit Settings)

[dazkeirle]

Is there any way to pre-set all of the options in the Facebook Bridge options section in Cpanel.

Its not obvious to my users that they need to do anything.

Would be great if i could preset, sync avatar, grant permission to publish, permission to access when offline and show options in checkboxes.

Right now they connect but are unaware of any additional features it provides.

Seems to work ok/good though.

For new users it provides a new option, for exisitng who try to login using facebook connect while still logged in via their forum ID it can get messy, would be better if the same facebook.php page auto-checked if login already exists and if so does the bridge automatically without the user having to enter the cpanel.

You may be thinking, hey but you only see the connect if not logged in, well to make it so people even knew the feature exists I've added a facebook connect button to the site which links to the facebook.php page for all to see, that way they know the option is there.

Defo the best connect mod though. If I can set cpanel options as admin for default and also adjust users options then it will be much much better.

Thanks

Yes, I like the idea of pre-set all of the options in admin cp.

[Calash]

Update is working good on my test site. I will be pushing it to my live site today or tomorrow but at this point I do not expect any problems. It even cleared up an odd Avatar issue I was having.

The migration utility from vBnexus worked like a charm, great job with that.

I also like the idea of pre-setting up some options. I am not sure how many can be set as they require the user to allow functions on the Facebook side of things.

[principino1984]

is there a way to keep user's current settings when installing a new upgrade of your hack?

[mrpaint]

Currently, only Facebook-based-registered user have all options turned on automatically. I will think about a solution for existing users. It won't be too hard, I think :D

Thats great mrpaint, it appears its not just me that would like that feature.

It's not so much though that i want "all features" turned on, I'd like to be able to set the default and perhaps an overwrite in admin for each setting.

That way when you add a new feature I an force it on anyone using the system (using my judgement of whether that's the right approach).

As for the 3rd option on facebook.php for "users already with an account, connect them now" would solve all kinds of confusion with users trying to register a second account with their facebook only for the email address to be the same and get stuck in a weird facebook / user logged in scenario without either being connected properly (which has happened a few times)

Keep up the good work. Regarding graphics and buttons / layout, happy to help with this to get this mod polished up.

My only other criticism is that some of the language / phrases used in the mod are quite informal. While I'm happy that you're obviously a laid back guy and like that to show in your app, would be good if the phrases were a standard serious formal tone for those that do run professional forums, just a suggestion.

I thought about bitfield settings so you can select which options should be turned on automatically when user connected/registered. But you know? I don't think forcing member using new feature is a good idea, I think you should post an announce or something in that case. But if it's just an auto-turn-on after successful connection, it's acceptable. I will build it this way

It would be great if you can contribute some buttons or you have any suggestion on the templates. I will make changes in the new releases

Thank you for your suggestion, I will take that one seriously :D I will do

Hi mate, the visionary of being on the first page is cool but actually, I don't really understand how OpenInviter can help this product in it's task (connect with Facebook). You have an idea? Share with meeee, please :eek:

[RidinHighSpeeds]

After installing your product, I take back what I recommended (openinviter). I've got to say, your product is by far the best facebook connect mod i've installed (i've tested all others). I integrated this with my site (http://www.defendingthetruth.com (http://www.defendingthetruth.com/)) and sent out a blast to all users to try it out. It's been a huge success so far and I appreciate you making this a simple mod to install! :)

The only suggestion I can think of is giving users the capability to change "Granted" permissions in their profile back to "Not Permitted" ;) Other than that, works great!!

It's been a huge success so far and I appreciate you making this a simple mod to install! :)

The only suggestion I can think of is giving users the capability to change "Granted" permissions in their profile back to "Not Permitted" ;) Other than that, works great!!
I don't remember that there is a function we can call from our side to revoke extend permission (but we can revoke authentication completely). I will check it out later

Anyway, guys, look at this screencast and tell me what you think :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ComjeipReE4 (wait for the HD version to have best quality, I have just uploaded recently)

[Veer]

The OpenInviter (http://openinviter.com/) sounds fun. Tell me if I googled the right one then I will check it out. Or I just put a note for others to use :D

Thanks
I think OpenInviter is a separate product, and there is no need to include this into the Facebook Bridge.

I thought about bitfield settings so you can select which options should be turned on automatically when user connected/registered. But you know? I don't think forcing member using new feature is a good idea, I think you should post an announce or something in that case. But if it's just an auto-turn-on after successful connection, it's acceptable. I will build it this way

It would be great if you can contribute some buttons or you have any suggestion on the templates. I will make changes in the new releases

Thank you for your suggestion, I will take that one seriously :D I will do


Please don't use bitfield settings that I don't like, because I have 18+ usergroups and it is very hard to update settings one by one.

Yes, just an auto-turn-on after successful connection is good idea. but without bitfield settings ;)

Great video :) hear hear!

I may have found a small bug on ./profile.php?do=editavatar
When you try to select Synchorize Avatar from Facebook and hit save, I get this message:
Upload of file failed.

I do have custom avatars enabled so I don't know if that was tested out fully for this mod.. Not a big deal though ;)

Which source did you choose for Avatar Synchronize? If by some reason, the use don't have avatar or avatar not available (privacy settings), the script will be unable to sync between 2 systems. If the option is shown, mostly, it's the problem from Facebook's side (because if vBulletin board misses some of the required configuration, the option will be hidden)

[mrpaint]

Thanks so much, you make me happy now :D

by the way 2.1 version is just awesome, thumbs up!
Love to know that :D Thank you for your continuous support

[mrpaint]

Well, I have just got this new idea:

In version 2.1, the script will try to catch the request from Facebook's servers and produce a special page just for Facebook to fetch data. Now it supported thread/post view and memberinfo view. It's pretty good in my opinion. But there is one problem: when the thread/post contain many pictures, there will be only one of them display in the Publisher. I have made a change to the function and I will include it here. Upload overwrite the old file in root/fbb/ and user will be able to select one from many images for the link posted

Cheers :D

[Veer]

Updated.

Yes, its v good now, thanks. :)

[dazkeirle]

Hi mates,

I have just released the new version (2.1) with most of improvements are placed in AdminCP. Besides, the sharing ability is increased with meta tags support for Facebook's servers' requests. I hope you guys like it

For those who installed 2.0.2: just download the upgrade file, it's smaller and take less time to upload to your server ;)

A special note: If you use the share button in posts, make sure to place an image named "share_facebook.gif" in button directory. If you don't want to use that button, go ahead and disable it in settings page (AdminCP > Facebook Bridge > Edit Settings)

The upgrade is very good, you are excelling yourself on this well done, I'm more than happy to run this mod.

Checked today and have about 20 new users through it and so it is good to have that button there.

I've created a share button which goes with my button set, it's the common famfamfam silk set and the button goes ok with it.

here's the button: http://www.mygreatphone.com/forum/images/buttons/share_facebook.gif

you can see it in use here:

105423

you can check out my integration on http://www.mygreatphone.com in the forums.

Keep on working at it pal. (I'd still love, as an admin to be able to set permissions in admincp, even if only as a backup for those users who can't work it out on their own, atm you have to try and explain and thats not always possible with some people. Admin should always have backup control.)

[matthewhotdude]

Don't suppose you have a psd of that button?

[matthewhotdude]

Dazkeirle, you know your site how you have the connect with facebook image. How did you do that? I can't seem to do it. This is what I have in the fbb_navbar_button template

<td><a href="facebook.php?$session[sessionurl_q]">Connect with Facebook</a><img src="$vboptions[bburl]/fbb/connectwithfacebook.gif" />
</td>

[mrpaint]

The button looks neat, thank you

Anyway, a new screencast: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBwwiffLvJ8

[Strike3ForumsMH]

Hey mrpaint, that's the share button link for the postbit? I want to manually place it in my template and I just want to make sure the link I have to share it with Facebook is right.

Thanks!

[mrpaint]

Hmm, no more replies huh? Kinda surprise after tons of questions on the previous pages :D

Anyway, I have just figured out the way to publish new thread in a certain forum to a Facebook Page. The idea is you setup to publish threads in your Announcement forum to a Facebook Page but you can setup as many forum as you want, each forum can publish to different Page. You can see it in action here:

Posting in... http://daohoangson.com/vb38/forumdisplay.php?f=4 (it's Annoucement forum but all Registered Member can post since it's a test board)
Post published in... http://www.facebook.com/pages/A-Demo-Board-Page/160069356066?v=wall (posts are published on behalf of the Page itself)

A small notice: it's a bug in the Facebook Platform that we can't use the Page of the Application. Actually, we can publish to the Application Page but the posts will be published on behalf of the Page Owner.

Anybody interest in this feature? Let me know and I will pack it up for you :D

[drsli]

That?s exactly what I?ve been looking for, mrpaint! :) I?m in for opting!

[Calash]

Don't know if I would use it much but it sounds very interesting.

Just pushed the newest update to my live site and swapped out vBnexus. The migration worked perfectly.

Great job :)

Edit: Actually, now that I looked at your demo links I think I would use it. It would make a great way to keep people informed of recent updates and such. Kind of like the Twitter mod I have running, but only for announcements and such.

[mrpaint]

Version 2.2 is out

Besides the requested function of selecting auto on options for new connections. I added the ability to publish threads to a Facebook Page. Please setup a Fan Page, you shouldn't use the Application Page because there is a bug in Facebook Platform that prevent us from publishing on behalf of the Page itself. Page publishing can be used in numbers of ways such as Annoucement forum's threads get published to official Board Page. And if your board has some kind of club or group or clan, you can ask them to setup their Facebook Page and send all thread to that page, automatically! All we need is ideas, right? Hope you like it :D

Note: There is no Upgrade package this time because almost every files get updated. You can remove the old files and upload again because some files have been removed to improve performance.

Regards,

[Matt Lathrop]

Hey I just tried the send notification thing... It was only able t send it to 604/3160 users... any reason? I am on a slower than usual internet connection if that might be it.

hi mrpaint,

just another suggestion for you.

Unfortunately if you share a post with images that have been added as an attachment through vb, the share story doesn't show the images, it just gives a link to the attachment, even if you have added the attachment images to the post.

If you add images using the [IMG] BBcode they show in facebook nicely.

Any way you can support images when attached as an attachment?

I agree. Theres two things, when I start using PHP5 (throught htaccess) I get the following screenshot when I try to view/change the settings - the page is cut off, I don't see the full settings page. Also, the other thing is that when I'm using PHP5 I am not able to get to the User CP or a users page. Is this an error in my installation? vBulletin should work with PHP5 right?

vBulletin works well with PHP5 (and from sources that I heard, vBulletin 4 only supports PHP5)
About your error of cut off page, please check the Log Viewer to see if there is anything useful. Thank you

[mrpaint]

how does the reclamation process work ? Where do I put the reclamation url as described in your steps ?

PS : Forgot to say - great mod!
If you put an URL to the Reclamation URL, everytime member tries to deactivate their account, they will receive an email notifying that they deactivated their Facebook Profile and at the bottom of the email, there will be a list of reclamtion urls from connected applications.

In our case, member will receive a link to our reclamation system. It will then check if it's a valid reclamation request (base on several key/secret/encoding stuff). If it's good, user will be provided with their password to their account on vBulletin (the password is newly generated at the time of reclamation process, which means the user can keep clicking the URL to get new password, in case they forget their password)

I hope this helps

Wanted to say thank you much for such a great mod....I wanted to ask a question as I dont know if this is a bug or not but wanted to see if there is a way to correct this..

Currently I have enabled that Share It feature which shows up in every post, this is good BUT the issue is that the Share It button show not show up in hidden or restricted forums as that feature should follow the same rules as the other posting options that are restricted in those forums..

I also wanted to see how I can get some intergration with vbportal such as having the login with facebook button show up in the login area on my portal.

Thank for the great work

vBulletin works well with PHP5 (and from sources that I heard, vBulletin 4 only supports PHP5)
About your error of cut off page, please check the Log Viewer to see if there is anything useful. Thank you

Looking at the error log in my root directory, I get the following memory error:

PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 19456 bytes) in /home/.../public_html/fbb/hook_admin_options_print.php on line 37

Do you know what this means?

MRPAINT

Wanted to say thank you much for such a great mod....I wanted to ask a question as I dont know if this is a bug or not but wanted to see if there is a way to correct this..

Currently I have enabled that Share It feature which shows up in every post, this is good BUT the issue is that the Share It button show not show up in hidden or restricted forums as that feature should follow the same rules as the other posting options that are restricted in those forums..

I also wanted to see how I can get some intergration with vbportal such as having the login with facebook button show up in the login area on my portal.


Thank for the great work

Some guys from previous pages just edit his templates and the button appears. So... member can login when they are viewing the portal page. I think you can do the same way to display the connect button.

Yeah, I will change the code to prevent the share button to be displayed in such cases

I think I found the issue the default values for your tables in the database for a user NOT using FB connect are 0:blank:NULL (for fbuid:fbssk:fboptions) I have for all the users I moved over blank:NULL:0. Any chance that is causing the error? If so could you halp me fix it by giving me a query to fix it (I'm REALLY bad with mysql)

Oh, try this one


UPDATE `[put_your_table_prefix_here]user`
SET fbuid = '0'
WHERE fbuid = ''


Hope this helps :D

[mrpaint]

Does anyone have any idea what can cause this?

Hmm, looks like there is something wrong with our log table. please try to repair in via AdminCP > Maintenance > Repair/Optimize Table

Looking at the error log in my root directory, I get the following memory error:

Do you know what this means?

Your server restricted the allowed memory size too much. Ask your hosting provider to increase the value a little bit (My Blue Host shared hosting has this limit set at 32MB).

[bgootz]

Do you think that could be causing the problem of not accessing the user cp as well (when using PHP5)? Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it!

[mrpaint]

Yes, maybe. As you are looking on the log, you can find out if usercp.php got the error too

[bgootz]

Nothing referring to usercp.php :/ There are a few others referring to functions_editor.php and class_bitfield_builder.php but I don't know enough of vBulletin to know what these scripts are really doing. Can you venture a guess??

File functions_editor is used to render editor (posting thread, replying, sending pm, sending vm,etc). File class_bitfield_builder is used for some AdminCP specific actions which render bitfield values or construct the array.
To solve the problem, just ask your hosting provider to increase the limit for you (to 32MB as I suggested). Or you can open the php.ini and edit it yourself. More information is available on... Google.com

Were you checking or reparing table? According to REPAIR TABLE document from MySQL, it can fix that corrupted file. If it doesn't work. Tell me

[mrpaint]

Hi mates,

I have just released a minor update (from 2.2 to 2.2.4) with a few improvements in the sharing functionality such as push attachments' thumbnails (only when guest has permission to view thumbnails). Sharing button display more accurate. A little tweak for shared post (you can edit the phrase named "fbb_template_shared_title" to change the title of the shared post). If you are interested in these improvements, grab the upgrade file from the first post and upload overwrite/re-import to your board.

Regards,

[minman40324]

Wonderful mod!!

I installed 2.2 yesterday and it works well in firefox and opera, but the button to connect to facebook doesn't show using internet explorer. Anyone know why that might be?

Thanks,

[accludetuner]

I just noticed that the forum permissions do not always get followed. 80% of the time when I make threads/posts in my admin only forum (no other usergroups can see or use the forum) this mod does as it is supposed to do and DOES NOT add it to my facebook page. About 20% of the time, it ignores the permissions and will post my threads/replies in this restricted forum to facebook. Any ideas of what to try?

[linuxututs]

Just upgraded, and now I have blank screen when I go to share.

Reverting back to 2.2.

Thanks For a GREAT Mod to,

Update: Reverted and everything works again.

[Tom_M]

I had the same problem so I also reverted back to 2.2

To fix 2.2.4 (i hope), edit the "Complete Building Post (includes/class_postbit.php)" plugin and add:

require_once(DIR . '/fbb/functions.php');

at the beginning.

The facebook block on the user profiles, has gone! I havent changed anything it has just vanished!

Hi friends,

Facebook Team has just announced this new feature today (Share Count, http://developers.facebook.com/news.php?blog=1&story=323) so I made some changes to the code and packed into 2.2.5 (which is a minor update and it fixes the issue with 2.2.4). I'm not a designer so the counter looks weird but it's there and you can make change to the template to make yours.

Regards,

[mrpaint]

Go the UserCP > Facebook Bridge > Options again to see if the Add to Profile button appears. So you can add it back. Maybe you removed it by an accident? :D

[linuxututs]

Thanks a million "mrpaint" for all this hard work,but I'm still getting blank screen when trying to share.
I've checked and rechecked all settings also. It works perfect as far as I'm concerned with 2.2, but with the new updates from FB, I thought it'd be a good idea to upgrade.

I am working on 1,000 forums in My Board, and when I'm through it will be more like 2,000 forums I'll have on my Board.

I really, really, can't afford to be playing with My system like this at all..
( I have no test board )
And if something where to go wrong, you'd see a grown Man cry like a Baby............hahahaha ( for-real )

Going to try to revert one more time.

Thanks again "mrpaint",

Previously I was using vB Nexus mod, and then I just uninstalled vB Nexus, removed all files, and installed YAFB. but database tables of vB Nexus mod are still there.

What do you suggest now, should I run Migration Tool to recover old users (just a few) who connected by vB Nexus mod? old facebook app was also deleted, can I still recover old users by using Migration Tool?

Hi,

Firstly, I'm so sorry that I made you cry that way :( As far as I understand, when you share a post, a new windows will appears, the publisher of Facebook will be populated with post's information. Right? Tell me if I'm wrong but how can the new window be blank? It's generated from Facebook... Hmm

[mrpaint]

Any ideas of what I can look at for this issue?

Hi,

It's weird. With this kind of bug, I need to test myself. Can you send me your board URL via PM so I can come by and check? Just a guess, maybe you checked some checkboxes?

[mrpaint]

Yes, if you keep the old database field, you can use the Migration Tool. But if you uninstalled vB Nexus, I'm afraid that they removed all those fields but it's worth a try ;)

That's really good feature :)
How can I make change to the template to make graphical counter?
You can open the template named "fbb_postbit_controls", you may be interested in the phrase named "fbb_share_statistic_postbit" also :D

One thing I noticed that Notifications can not be sent to the migrated users, I want to inform them about their account recovery, so how can I contact them now? they have just facebook proxy emails.

In theory, you can send notification via AdminCP if the Facebook UserIDs are stored correctly

Do you have any solution for the database tables size, I think the tables are going too heavy..

vb_fbb_links = 5.0 MiB
vb_fbb_log = 7.5 MiB

[mrpaint]

Do you have any solution for the database tables size, I think the tables are going too heavy..

vb_fbb_links = 5.0 MiB
vb_fbb_log = 7.5 MiB
The links table will slow down it's growing rate soon because old records will be updated instead of inserting. And the logs, only needed information is stored but if your board has a lot of actions, it can grow fast. I think I will add a truncate function, right?

Anyway, I want to let you know that Facebook Team decided to change their policy with application to prevent spam (from games like +++++ Wars and kind of Farms) so... I think we will have some problem in communicating with our users in Facebook soon. As I heard, the notification system will be altered. No official document but you can read the news here: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/10/28/d-day-for-facebook-app-developers
I will update the product after I have enough information (and ideas also). Cheers

I am currently using fb connect user and I like how I can set it up so the only thing fb connect does is user login and 1 news feed when the user is registering to my site.

I don't want my user to post some stuff on my forum and automatically publish it on their facebook wall. Basically I want YAFB to only handle the login process. Is that possible with yafb? I've been reading the last 30 pages of the discussion but I can't really get the answer.

Any known migrating issue problem from fb connect to yafb?
After the migration, the user won't notice a thing right?

Thanks!

Okay I just installed the plugin into my forum.
The biggest drawback is having a facebook link on the contact info of the profile page.
How do I remove that?

Also what happen if a user register through facebook and then click the option to disconnect from facebook and then log out from the forum?
It seems that the user won't be able to login again.

I also want to know the code for the "Connect with Facebook" button.
I'd like to put it somewhere else.

Hi,

Sound like a javascript confict that prevent the script from loading. It's best if you can turn YAFB on, take screenshot of everything (your forum home page, the Error Console of Firefox, yes, I suggest you to use Firefox, at least this time,etc). And then send me via email daohoangson[at]gmail.com. I will see if I can do anything :D

Hi gufgar,

To remove the link in the contact info section, please go to AdminCP > Facebook Bridge > Edit Settings. Find and uncheck the box called "IM icon in ContactInfo"

In the case you described, yes, that use won't be able to login unless they contact the Administrator. I have no idea with those users. They decided to disconnect, hmm.. what can we do? Delete that account automatically? Do you have any ideas?

I'm not sure of your purpose using the "Connect with Facebook" button but you can take a look at the templates named "fbb_register" and "fbb_navbar_button".

Please note: if you decide to use FBML (some kind of special mark up from Facebook), you will have to add a plugin in place because I tried to skip the Facebook Javascript library as much as possible to improve users' experiences. So... it's a high chance that your FBML won't work. Okie, if you get confused, send me a PM. I will answer and help you if I can

I followed the directions perfectly and nothing happens. My Control Panel does not show any of the Facebook options.

Mrpaint, I unchecked the show im icon thing, and it eliminates the facebook icon. But if you go to the member profile page, the homepage is pointing to their facebook account. Can we remove that?

Also I would think it would be best to just delete "disconnect link". If there's a link, everyone will try it.
I have one more request, can you change the indicator from "sleeping" and "working" to "off" and "on". It's easier for the user.

IT works in firefox for me, but not in IE. Cannot see the 'connect to facebook' button on the Facebook Bridge>>options page. All other functions seem to work. ?? confused.

The homepage is fetched at the registration. People who don't want that homepage can change it in their profile. FYI, homepage is vBulletin default profile field

You can remove the link by an easy to done template edit but I don't think it's a good idea. Members should always be able to know how to manage their connections, I think

You can change the text to whatever you want by using the Phrase tool in your AdminCP.

Which version of IE are you using? The javascript scope is written as simple as possible to work on almost every browsers. I myself tested with Firefox, IE, Chrome, Safari, Opera,.v.v. But if older version of IE (IE6?), maybe the script won't work... Tell me your version so I will try to find an instance of that IE to test (and fix)

Also, i cant seem to find all the templates.. id love to help you translate the application to Swedish...

Hi,

I'm experimenting character encoding from diffrent charset to UTF-8 (which works best with Facebook) and I will update to you soon.
About the templates and phrases, as I remember now, everything text is phrases, you can do a search in your Phrase Manager (in AdminCP). Thank you :D

Couldnt you just utf8-encode the strings you send and recieve to/from facebook?

iconv works for me, just tested it on hook_threadratedata_postsave.php
Added $message = iconv('ISO-8859-2','UTF-8',$message); in line 51 and
$notification = iconv('ISO-8859-2','UTF-8',$notification); in 80.
Now rating is properly rendered. Remember, my forum runs ISO-8859-2.
There are 32 hooks only, so doing it on my own every release is not wise solution.
Will wait for author feedback.

This function can only convert string from ISO-8859-1, I intended to use mbstring library or iconv

Hi,

If you are a coder and open fbb/functions.php you will find out a function named "fb_encoding_to_Facebook" I intended to use to convert encoding. Hmm, but it give the wrong result so for most of the functions, I commented out the encoding part. But as you confirmed that iconv works, I will provide you with a new functions.php soon. You test it and tell me the result, okie?

Regards,

PS: Yeah, 42 hooks with manual editing is definitely not a wise way to do this :D Let the developer (me, haha) do his work!

Okie :-) Just uncommented three calls to fb_encoding_to_Facebook (replaced mbconvert with iconv), and nothing changed. Still titles are truncated at first polilsh diacritic mark in shorts sent to wall.

What about automatically bringing across some Facebook details? I like to collect users first and last names but don't really want these on the register page. Would you be able to set something up in the admin section so we can link some details from Facebook to specific profile fields.

[tldagent]

Haven't installed this yet as I was trying your demo board listed in the first post and I like the looks of it so far but I'm running into one issue. I enter my username, password and email to register and I keep getting this error on your demo board:

You must enter at least 5 characters for the intro.

I can't get past this point to see if how it works with facebook and to adjust user settings.

Well, this is a feature which exists in other modifications long time ago... I think I will add it soon

Hi, it's a modification which I installed to demonstrate that YAFB can work with other modification. You should put some dummy value in the Location field (which is placed in Required section) :up:

Reason: File missing
Quick fix: Upload all files/directories under "upload" to your forum root :D

Tried that though, a couple of times. The file is definitely there.

Thing is my board seems to work, it's just accessing the /admincp/ that has troubles....

I can't even get into the /admincp/ otherwise I would uninstall the product and try reinstalling it.

Likewise, I tried disabling plugins in the config.php thinking that would allow me in but that hasn't helped either. Not really sure what I've done to break it....

Huh? Disabling hook in config.php is the ultimate way to prevent hook from running, it works all the time. You can follow this post to disable hook system http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?196688-Disable-the-plugin-hook-system-globally

Anyway, it's really weird since your front-end runs normally while the back-end sucks. If you wouldn't mind, send me your board address with an account information so I can login and see what's going wrong.

Typical, I try uploading all the files again and disabling hooks again and bingo, it lets me in first time. Reinstalled the product and enabled hooks, and it's all fine. Go figure.

Sorry about that! I swear I'd done the exact same thing 2-3 times before....

OK, after my earlier dilemma I've come across a new problem. I can't seem to authorise my account to post messages to a Facebook page using the Page Account itself.

This Facebook Profile must be connected with a forum Account with Offline Access permission granted!. If you wish to publish to Page using Page Account itself, ask the Page Owner to visit this page: http://www.myurl.com/profile.php?do=fbb_pages. To get the Facebook UserID of a user, you can visit his/her Profile, move your mouse over "Send [name] a Message" (under Profile Avatar), copy the link, it is in the form of "http://www.facebook.com/gigaboxx/dialog/MessageComposer.php?id=987654321", so the Facebook UserID is "987654321"

I've got the right PageID and my UserID but whenever I visit http://www.myurl.com/profile.php?do=fbb_pages, nothing changes, I still see....


Facebook Pages

* Page #6340028662 - Not Permitted



Could it be because we have multiple users who can update the page maybe?

[dfc005]

Also, what about posting Blogs to your Facebook feed?

[dfc005]

And finally, my last question for now....

What about if we wanted to add custom pushes to a users news feed? For instance my site has quizzes and games etc. Would it be possible for me to push to a users news feed their latest results from a quiz etc?

Developers can provide a plugin to do so. YAFB provide open functions to communicate with Facebook easily :D Read my notes on the first post

I filled it out completely. You'd better double check it because no matter what's filled out I get the same error. It won't let me past the initial registration page.

Hello -

I'm using v2.2.5 with vb 3.7.3

I tried the synchonize Avatar from Facebook option last week, and it worked as expected. Then this morning, I changed my Facebook photo, and expected my avatar to synch automatically that is the way I setup my profile.

When it didn't after 10 hours, I went into my user control panel, selected the "Synchorize Avatar from Facebook" option, and clicked "Save Changes". The result was a vbulletin error page with this message:

Invalid URL

Tried it many times with the same result.

In the "Options" area, where it says I am recognized, my facebook photo thumbnail shows up there.

What now?

[dbigras]

Hi there,

This is definitely one of my favorite modules for vbulletin. But my board is in french, so I have a lot of trouble when my board is sending to Facebook.

I got around the notifications problem, by translating the phrases to french and converting french characters with &. For example é = &eacute;

That was annoying, at best, but I got it to work.

But it's definitely not working when people publish short stories to Facebook, or when Thread titles have french characters. When it encouters a french character, the title is cut, the story is cut, and it looks REALLY bad in Facebook.

My second problem is with Newsfeed. It doesn't write on my friends newsfeed. It only writes on my wall, but unless you visit my wall, you won't see that I wrote something on my board.

It would be nice to have this work, and configurable only to publish new threads AND/OR new replies to the newsfeed, in case people don't want to flood their friends newsfeed with replies, but only new threads.

Thanks for helping out.

Your server is running on Safe Mode with this restriction, maybe you should ask your hosting provider to turn of Safe Mode for you. FYI, Safe Mode is a feature of PHP, which has been planed to be removed soon enough, more information: http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.safe-mode.php

hi MR Paint, i've just asked to my host, and he just told me that my server isn't in 'safe mode' ...

[doubleclick]

Sometime it sucks, have you tried again?

I've tried everything. In the cp, I tried changing the "Avatar -Source" size.

In FaceBook, I deleted my avatar and selected several different ones as my avatar. Still no change from the time of my last post.

Disabled the whole thing, re-enabled it. What is so perplexing is that as I said before, my FB avatar thumb shows up fine on the Options page.

Also other FB users on my site are displaying their Profile Pic.

Any suggestions for me to try?

Thanks,
dc

[sailnet]

I'm pulling my hair out with this mod also.

Sometimes it will save the templates in the Facebook Bridge edit settings, but most times no.

It worked this morning and now it does not work. Nothing has changed in the last four hours on my site so I'm at a loss.

[KURTZ]

this is what i get if i try to read a post of another user ... (after some minutes this error is gone), anyway, the mysql error is only for me (user ID. 1) if i try to view that thread with my test account i haven't that error ...

Hmm, let me clarify this point

Only new thread has option to publish to news feed (called "Post short story"). New reply has options to post to our owned wall (called "Post one line story") and to add a comment to the appropriated post (called "Post comment (if the appropriate wall post is available)"). Please take a note that, only short stories can be displayed on friends' news feed. All other posts will just remain in the poster wall.

Hmm, is that clear? Or I'm misunderstanding you guys? :D

You mean, avatar sync works with other members, except you?

It worked this morning and now it does not work. Nothing has changed in the last four hours on my site so I'm at a loss.

First, give your hair a rest :D
Well, I don't get your idea about "save the templates"? This product will try to register templates on the first time it is initialize (fill in API key and secret). Can you describe more detail about saving templates?

this is what i get if i try to read a post of another user ... (after some minutes this error is gone), anyway, the mysql error is only for me (user ID. 1) if i try to view that thread with my test account i haven't that error ...

Well, this is generated when the product try to update synced avatar. It not really safe mode but it's some kind of restriction from server side. If you can edit your php.ini, consider these 2 options

Remove open_basedir value (or comment that line out by placing a "#" at the beginning
Add a value named "upload_tmp_dir" and point it to one of the directory named in the error message. My personal suggestion is "/var/tmp"


Hope that help. Also, I'm wondering how your site can handle avatar upload with all these settings? Hmm

[ScottiG]

Not sure this has happened to anyone else, but I have just installed the product including the upgrade, the installation went very smoothly, however, in the admincp my templates are not populating after inputing my API key and application secret as outlined in the installation video.

Is it possible that I have to install the complete 2.2 product first, then set up the API key and application secret, THEN upgrade to 2.5?

I followed the instructions to the letter but cannot get the templates to populate at all.

Thanks for any and all help!

[ScottiG]

OK, I just tried uninstalling the bridge then installing version 2.2, input the PAI key and application secret in "edit settings" and the templates still do not auto populate, what am i doing wrong?

Anyone?

It's not the problem with upgrading or not. Can you access YAFB Log? From AdminCP, I mean. Check it there is something useful from there :D

[ScottiG]

This is what is shows about the templates in the log.

Apparently the attempt to register the log happened but it did not return a populated template.

Any thoughts?
