YAFB - Yay! Another Facebook Bridge

[ScottiG]

No suggestions? Anyone?

I have tried everything I can think of and the templates still do not auto-populate. Is there a copy of the text that should be in the template boxes, or are the templates coded with account specific information?

Again, thanks for ANY suggestions, possible fixes, things to look for...

[ScottiG]

OK, over three days of tinkering (14 hours later) - I got this mod to work. Finally got the templates to auto populate with NO HELP FROM ANYONE - LOL...

Anyway, the mod seems to be working great so far...

Thanks for the good work.

Marked as installed!

[Emran Ahmed]

Great work man. its cool anyway...

[doubleclick]

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

Yes. The only difference between me and everyone else is that I'm and admin and they are registered members.

I stopped trying any fixes after my last post, and suddenly yesterday my avatar showed up. :eek:

So it's working now, and I mention the above details for your troubleshooting pleasure.

Thanks for the support, Mr. Paint!

LOL. There were some problems in connection between your server and Facebook (maybe). Feel free to ask if you run into any other (freaky) problems :D

Oh well, just as I have said right above. The script always does the same thing. Only the environment changes and it can causes weird error (I myself don't understand your error message at all). Hell! Anyway, good luck that it works with you now. Thank God!

I have found that the save changes button ont he set facebook options in the profile screen actually turns the interface on/off - anyone else experience this?

It changes enabled options to disabled and vice versa?

[sailnet]

the other problem I'm having is that when I go to edit the templates in the template bundle the code seems to keep adding templates over and over and now I have over a dozen duplicated templates.

where are these stored so that I can delete the duplicates and edit them manually.

see my screen dump.

thanks in advance.

ps: in addition Facebook says template bundles will be deprecated on December 10, 2009 and want people to switch to other technology. ar you aware of this? Do you have plan to modify the code?

[sailnet]

It changes enabled options to disabled and vice versa?

I though that clicking on the disabled/enabled button toggled the option and that clicking "Save" made no difference in the settings. When I click save it seems to disconnect me from Facebook altogether and I have to click Save Changes to get that screen and all of its settings to display again.

???

Basically, the product will remove the old template before register the new one. You can "delete" by go to edit page and check "Yes" under "Delete".

About the deprecation of template bundles, most of the time, YAFB will try to publish with stream_publish which doesn't require a template bundle. But sometimes, when that function fails, the product will try to fall back to publishstory function which requires template bundles. It's unclear that sometimes, users will need to use the template bundle model. I think Facebook is going to release something to replace it, we will see :D

???

Yeah, most of the time, Save Changes does nothing. If the javascript library hasn't finished loading but you click that button, it will result in no facebook userid is sent to server so it just does the job to remove the associated userid. There is a note about this if you read :D

[sailnet]

when I try to delete a template in the bundle I get the following error:

Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /usr/local/websites/myforum/forums/admincp/fbb_admin.php on line 125

[secrtagnt]

I'm not sure if this has already been suggested, but it would nice if YAFB provided an option to allow the user to find their facebook friends that have already linked their facebook account to their forum account. YAFB could present them in a list, with a link next to each tallowing them to "befriend" them. That way the user can easily (re)connect with their facebook friends on the forums.

Anyway, great mod and thanks for all the work you have put into it.

[Mum]

I'm missing something? It works fine for a new person logging in (see www.mummybrain.com) but if someone is already logged in, how can i link their facebook with their account that is already on my site?

Hi mrpaint,

Any news about updating YAFB to vB 4.0.0 Beta3 ??

[mrpaint]

Hi mrpaint,

Any news about updating YAFB to vB 4.0.0 Beta3 ??
On progress already :D That's the news for today ;)

[Veer]

That's good to hear mate :)

So is there any problem if I upgrade forum by disabling YAFB and update it later when available?

[wolfyman]

I'm just now installing this, and it appears that I need to first install 2.2 then upgrade using the upgrade package.

It would have been nice to simply install using the recent version IMO, but thanks.

[RidinHighSpeeds]

I would like to just give a big thanks to the developer, mrpaint. I installed this last month and my statistics have already doubled and my revenues are wayyy up!! Users have been using the Facebook tie and it's been clearly generating high amounts of traffic when they share their posts/threads.

I've also noticed an increase in user-registration as it's less cumbersome to sign up..

Again, just wanted to say thanks! What a great mod!!

[wolfyman]

Anyone know what this could mean?

I have a bug to report:

when this mod is enabled and you "edit" a caption on one of the picture in your gallery this text is appended to your caption in the edit window:

<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: fbb_album_editpictures_options -->

Is there a way to show the actual picture (small thumbnail size) over in the message on Facebook. This would help drive more people over to my website.

[Veer]

Yes, good idea.

Please include an option to control "Log Viewer" its getting huge,
I would like to have a scheduled task option that will auto remove logs.

good to see another facebook app

i have a few questions. im sure u know about the other facebook mod that isn't supported any longer. i uninstalled it but there seems to be something lingering from the install. users who used the facebook connect avatars show even when other users have their avatars off. so im curious if that mod will conflict with this mod. has anyone that installed it made any complaints?

thanks

It's best to copy the image location from one of the missing image for me. It seems to be non-sense but it will help :D

Err, you mean you turn off avatar system entirely but Facebook avatars still show up? With YAFB, the core avatar system is used (with all permissions/options applied as they should be). Feel free to test on the demo board ;)

I have never seen that before. Try removing and reinstalling the product. Also make sure that all the files are copied tot he correct location, especially the ones that end up in the admincp directory.

What version of PHP are you running?

[pmcnamara]

We are on PHP version 5.2.5

I uninstalled and reinstalled.. same error.

[pmcnamara]

okay, I found the problem.. in the admincp panel, it says "facebook bridge"

that evidently is leftover from another facebook bridge I tried to use..

you have to go to the "Yay! Another Facebook Bridge" under the vBulletin Options link.. there is not a shortcut panel added to the AdminCP

And.. evidently.. when you uninstall the other Facebook plug, it doesn't remove that part of it.. so it can be confusing.

[btotw]

Just sent a private message. I wanted to ask you a question about this mod offline.

GREAT mod by the way, and it seems to be the best bridge out there right now...

[pmcnamara]

We still can't get it to work..

But I don't think its anything wrong with this mod.. I think its all remnants of the old mod that I can't seem to get rid of.

[Matt Lathrop]

I just heard FB is getting rid of app-to-user notifications and replacing user-to-user with private messages... When this does happen do you plan to update the mod to work with the new stuff?

[furst]

Yes, Calash is right, your style's templates don't have enough standard template hooks and it prevent this product to show the button. Please search for $template_hook[navbar_buttons_right] in your templates and tell us the result

My navbar is also pretty heavily modified. I did this search an navbar still showed up... but the facebook connect button still does not shot up in my navbar. What code do I need to insert in my navbar to have it showup?

[Jhonnydc]

I have insert the button...

It's possible with an IF let it the button INVISIBLE when the connect is ON???

When a FB user registers on my forum via FBConnect, their avatar is NOT imported.

Everything else seems fine...but no avatar. Its a "vanilla" install. I see there is a setting to change the number of avatars imported...I left it at its default.

Their avatar DOES display during the registration process...but it doesnt seem to save to my forum/server.

Any ideas?

And if you figure out the issue, how can I "resync" the user accounts that have been created via FBConnect so that their avatars show up?

[wacnstac]

So let me get this straight. If I install this hack, anybody with a Facebook account can log onto my forum, even if they happen to be already banned previously.

[Calash]

So let me get this straight. If I install this hack, anybody with a Facebook account can log onto my forum, even if they happen to be already banned previously.

Depends on how you banned them.

If they try and link a banned account to the Facebook account they will still be banned. Trying to create a new account will be covered by the same rules and restrictions that people have to follow using normal registration, so if you blocked an email or IP at that level they will still be blocked.


Note: Email is conditional on if you select that the user must input a real email address and not use the Facebook proxy. Facebook proxy is consistent so you could also block registrations on that as well, or just force real email addresses.

[SBlueman]

Does anyone have the instructions to install this on v3.6.12? I can't seem to get a hold of the mod's author. Thank you in advance.

[jl255]

if i disabled this mod in future, will new members who joined the forum through their FB accounts be still able to log in?

anyway to prevent new members from joining through their facebook accounts but only linking up their FB accounts AFTER they have registered through VB?

i can insist that a proper email be entered instead of the FB coded email being stored on my member db right?

tks for taking the time to help!

[Calash]

if i disabled this mod in future, will new members who joined the forum through their FB accounts be still able to log in?

Depends, but in most cases yes. By default the joining user is prompted to create a local password. This means that they can login without the Facebook connection at any time, provided they remember it.

Forcing a real email helps this as they will have a legitimate way of resetting their password.

anyway to prevent new members from joining through their facebook accounts but only linking up their FB accounts AFTER they have registered through VB?

I believe disabling the Auto Register feature will do this for you. Linking an existing account is a matter of going to your UserCP and logging in to Facebook there.

i can insist that a proper email be entered instead of the FB coded email being stored on my member db right?

Yes, it is in the option area. It will also follow any other registration restrictions you have. For example, I run a spam stopping mod and it scans the Facebook registrations as well.

[jl255]

Depends, but in most cases yes. By default the joining user is prompted to create a local password. This means that they can login without the Facebook connection at any time, provided they remember it.

Forcing a real email helps this as they will have a legitimate way of resetting their password.

tks alot, appreciate your replies :)

cld there be any catastrophic corruption of db with the installation of this script? i have a very large board and thus need to be absolutely sure that it will work before installing this.

if anything goes wrong, uninstall shld work right?

tks!

[haothiencz]

Great Mod :-x

[jl255]

what does the 'auto register' option do? i tried both and don't see a difference.

do ALL new members need to register a VB account after connecting via FB? cause i tried it and it seems to be so. kinda defeats the purpose doesn't it?

my vb template also doesn't have the $template_hook[navbar_buttons_right]. how can i get the fbconnect button onto my navbar? i tried adding in the hook into my navbar template but i still don't see the button.

finally, do you think this will increase the load alot if i had 100k members? u foresee any problems?

oh, and great script by the way!

[vbreal]

the share with facebook should be an image and not a link.

[Calash]

do ALL new members need to register a VB account after connecting via FB? cause i tried it and it seems to be so. kinda defeats the purpose doesn't it?


As with all the Facebook connect mods that are currently out there for vB you need a local account to be created for administration purposes as well as the basic function of the forum. This mods keeps more of the registration process intact than others, and personally I prefer it this way as it allows registration mods to work along side the connection to Facebook.


my vb template also doesn't have the $template_hook[navbar_buttons_right]. how can i get the fbconnect button onto my navbar? i tried adding in the hook into my navbar template but i still don't see the button.


The button will only show if you are logged out of the forum. If it is still not showing there may be another hook missing that you need...I would have to look at my code and see.

I noticed that template bundles are being deprecated soon and being replaced with some new API calls. Will an update be released?

Currently I can't register templates.

mrpaint, what is stored exactly in the fboptions field in the users table. Just had a look and the text is massive in there. I would have thought it would simply be some sort of delimited list of options?

[jl255]

can i get some clarifications on some settings? i don't quite understand their descriptions and what they do exactly:

Admincp FB Options:
1) Reply Notification - Old Posts Limit
2) Display Sharing Count
3) Auto Register

Usercp Options:
4) Display a Wall Tab/Profile Box in Facebook Profile page

Separate question: What am i supposed to see added to user's profile page when the 'Add to profile block' option is enabled? Is it just a block displaying 'recent facebook posts'?

Tks alot.

To the development team
,
We've been reviewing our logs, and see that you're still using some of the Feed APIs that are being deprecated. In order to provide you with ample time to complete this transition, we are delaying the deprecation date to January 5, 2010 at 10AM PST.

We want to remind you that starting on that day, the only way to publish Feed stories into the stream will be via the stream publishing methods (stream.publish (http://clk.facebook.com/t/BQ/Aw/GJc/GJU/Ag/AQ/MCG7), FB.Connect.streamPublish (http://clk.facebook.com/t/BQ/Aw/GJc/GJU/Aw/AQ/TEmJ), and Facebook.streamPublish (http://clk.facebook.com/t/BQ/Aw/GJc/GJU/BA/AQ/EA9O)). Posts published using the stream publishing methods contain only structured plain text data, which makes them easier to render on a variety of devices, including mobile phones and gaming consoles.

This means that we will discontinue support for the following:

Template bundles. You should start using stream attachments with the stream publishing methods instead.
feed.publishUserAction (http://clk.facebook.com/t/BQ/Aw/GJc/GJU/BQ/AQ/WGKd)
feed.publishTemplatizedAction (http://clk.facebook.com/t/BQ/Aw/GJc/GJU/Bg/AQ/4GUQ)
Facebook.showFeedDialog (http://clk.facebook.com/t/BQ/Aw/GJc/GJU/Bw/AQ/4s8y) and FB.Connect.showFeedDialog (http://clk.facebook.com/t/BQ/Aw/GJc/GJU/CA/AQ/OuIK)
The FBFeedDialog class on Facebook Connect for iPhone (http://clk.facebook.com/t/BQ/Aw/GJc/GJU/CQ/AQ/UPAa). Please use FBStreamDialog instead.
Publisher (http://clk.facebook.com/t/BQ/Aw/GJc/GJU/Cg/AQ/+BkU) stories that use templates (please transition them to use stream attachments).
Feed forms that reference the feedStory form and the multiFeedStory form.
One-line stream stories. We will still publish stories that call users.setStatus and status.set, but encourage all developers to migrate to the stream publishing methods, as they let you set a user's status easily.
We originally announced these changes on our Developer blog (http://clk.facebook.com/t/BQ/Aw/GJc/GJU/Cw/AQ/4nWm) on October 23rd, 2009, and included another reminder (http://clk.facebook.com/t/BQ/Aw/GJc/GJU/DA/AQ/+O5O) on December 2nd, 2009. Stay up to date on our upcoming changes by referring to our Developer Roadmap (http://clk.facebook.com/t/BQ/Aw/GJc/GJU/DQ/AQ/YPty). You can also subscribe to our blog posts via email (http://clk.facebook.com/t/BQ/Aw/GJc/GJU/Dg/AQ/w4cX), where we announce major upcoming changes.


Thank you,
The Facebook Developer Network

[bada_bing]

so i felt like i was reading another language.

anyone know what needs to be done for this mod to still work?

Awe exactly what I was reading.. Mrpaint how will your awesome plugin effect this facebook change?

[mrpaint]

Hi mates,

Just an updates for you guys: yes, there will be a vb4 version soon. I figured out most of the things but the new design of vb4 (which use div tags instead of tables) breaks the interface of YAFB and because I'm not really good at designing and I'm too busy this time of the year (hell yeah, Xmas's coming) so the vb4 version was delayed for over 2 weeks now. Hmm, and yeah, Xmas's coming and I really hope I have Xmas gift for you guys but I won't promise anything. I will try my best to organize things up. It's best if you use this product, please click install and I will send out an update when it's available (according to my plan, the new version will be posted on vb4 section, this thread won't be updated anymore)

Also, I received the friendly notice from Facebook Team also. No worries about it since I made changes to the product already to make it work seamlessly as ussual

PS: New version of YAFB will still support vb3.x boards.

PS (once more): For those who want to use YAFB with 3.6.x, all you need to do is describe in the attached text file. Please follow the instruction. It's a quick writing, if you are confused, feel free to ask here

Thank you all, guys :D

some of my members complain that even though they have turned OFF 'avatar sync', it still changes the avatar in my forum to the one on their FB. Any help? Tks.

This mod looks terrific. Just wondering the upcoming revision for vB 4 will include the Facebook friend invite functionality so when a FB user joins your forum they're prompted to invite their friends? :)

[frogster]

Just a suggestion...

Would you ever consider integrating your mod with the sign on widget from rpxnow.com so you can log in with more than just facebook but still have all of the facebook social posting options you currently have on your mod if a user chose to log on though facebook via rpx...

In other words integrate your current mod with RPXnow so users can have MANY other login options but still keep everything on your current mod if one logs in through facebook via rpx.

[morrow]

I apologize if these have already been answered but there are hundreds of posts I'd have to dig through to get answers (if there are any!)

Here I go.

1. I have a FB group. Is there a way to have anything posted in my forums to instantly post to the group and visa versa.

2. My vBulletin ID that I've been posting with for years is different than my FB ID. Any wya to link these up?

3. I receive this every so often: Fatal error: Wrong parameters for Exception([string $exception [, long $code ]]) in /home/njfly/public_html/vBulletin/fbb/fbplatform/facebookapi_php5_restlib.php on line 2978

That error happens when posting to the forum. Strange that the new threads post regardless... The issue with this is that you receive the error again when trying to access the links to the threads. Once you log off of vBulletin than back on, the issue appears to go away.

The most important thing is the link up my forum with my facebook group.

Other than that, I'm clicking INSTALL.... So far so good.

Does anyone else have some users experiencing this problem.

When some of my users login they get taken to the a vBulletin error page stating


Default Re: New Facebook Connect Implementation - Bugs
I'm still getting this.

Username, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.


It does however log them in fine. If anyone has any ideas of the issue please let me know

on every registration unless i disable it?

it was working please help

try to register at http://www.toyotabreakrecall.org

[mytweakerart]

this is what i did to fix my registration 500 error:

i have 3.8.2 http://www.toyotabrakerecall.org

uninstall YAFB plugin.
download YAFB from the 3.8 mod forum, not the 4.0 forum.
extract and re upload the files
re import the xml plugin file, check x on overwrite.

seems to work now
thank you awesome

i owe you a beer

[benstillman]

Oddness. I have two users setup. The first, a user account that already existed. I can go through and enable all the Facebook Bridge settings. They seem to save. Visit the profile, the Facebook Recent Posts tab is there but says "No Recent Post Available". Hit refresh, the tab is gone. Go back to the Facebook Bridge settings, and everything is disabled except for:
# Connection Established - Granted
# Permission to Read Stream - Granted
# Permission to Publish Stream - Granted
# Permission to access your data when you are offline - Granted

If I enable only Display a Facebook Block in Member Info page - On, same thing happens. View profile, tab is there, hit refresh, tab is gone and setting is disabled.

The second user is a newly created user, created via the Facebook Connect. This user's settings never change, and everything seems to be working okay except for the Facebook Recent Posts tab in the profile. It never gets updated.

I'm using vB3.8 fyi. Any insight would definitely be appreciated. It's a pretty sweet mod from what I can tell so far.

Disabling the profile block in the admincp solves the settings being disabled.

[benstillman]

Okay, disabling then re-enabling the Profile Block option in the admincp seems to have solved the changing settings problem. Odd. Very odd.

The Facebook Recent Posts tab in the profile however, still never updates. It always says "No Recent Post Available".

[benstillman]

Another one.... When a user uploads an image to an album, it does not get sent to Facebook. Not sure why. I don't see any errors in the log related to it.

Hi this is a fantastic mod. One problem though, i'm getting a blank page immediately after the facebook registration is completed. The member account is created and works fine, but this blank page is a mystery, does anyone have any ideas?

I'm using vb 3.8.4

Hi,

while updateing to the new version today I've got a parse error. It was very short to see, so I've took a pic. I can't see any problems so far but like to know whether this could be a problem.

[kailew]

Any help here mr.paint? this file has gotten very big

please look into the options!

Enter the number of days which logs will be kept. Enter 0 to keep log permanently

you can reduce the number of days and the log will be pruned ...

I will definetely be doing anything I can to support you and your product!

Just one or two questions for you...

Testing FB Connection for real this time!

Here is my post...
Is there anyway to configure the post? One nice feature with Facebook Connect is that it would use the 16 x 16 image you have saved in your Developer Section as well as the slitghtly larger image as well..
So this is more of a formating and looks / recognition idea

Secondly...
Where is says (AllinJac) where AllinJac is the NAME of the site... Is there a place to change that to say what we want to:

Prefer it to say something like (The Trading Centre for +++++ Wars)

Something like that... Is there a configuration to change that anywhere...

Again,

All due respect for not just where you are from as you stated in your text doc but your abilities as a programmer! They are definitely superior to most!

Thanks!!!

I get the following error

The specified Facebook Profile haven't granted the Offline Access permission. Please log in as XXXXXXXXXX and grant that permission in the Options page

I have 1 other problem, when a user registers with the facebook bridge, it sets their birthdate to January 1st, 1970 by default, instead of pulling their birthday info from facebook, or leaving it blank so they can edit it themselves later, any way of fixing this? I require birthdate on registration so users, unfortunately can't edit it after they've completed registration, so is there any way to fix this for the facebook bridge?

Dear Developer of SymbianPinoy? Resources,

Our automated systems have detected that you may be inadvertently allowing authentication data to be passed to 3rd parties. Allowing user ids and access tokens to be passed to 3rd parties, even inadvertently, could allow these 3rd parties to access the data the user made available to your site. This violates our policies and undermines user trust in your site and Facebook Platform.

In every case that we have examined, this information is passed via the HTTP Referer Header by the user's browser. This can happen when using our legacy authentication system and including <iframe>, <img> or <script> content from 3rd parties in the page that receives authentication data from Facebook. Our legacy mechanism passes authentication information in the URL query string which, if handled incorrectly, can be passed to 3rd parties by the browser. Our current OAuth 2.0 authentication system, released over a year ago, passes this information in the URL fragment, which is not passed to 3rd parties by the browser.

Please ensure that you are not allowing this data to be passed immediately. Accessing your site as a test user while running a HTTP proxy/monitor like Charles or Fiddler is the best way to determine if you are allowing this information to be passed. If you discover the issue, you can do one of two things:

1. Migrate your site to use our OAuth 2.0 authentication system. We are requiring all apps and sites to update to this mechanism by Sept. 1, 2011. Migrating now will address this issue and ensure that you are one of the first to meet the deadline. For more details, please see our Authentication Guide.

2. Create and use an interstitial page to remove the authentication data before redirecting to your page with 3rd party content. This approach is used by many of our largest developers today (although they are all migrating to OAuth 2.0 shortly). This is a simple and straightforwardchange that should have minimal impact on your site. For more details on this approach, see our Legacy Connect Auth doc.

Because of the importance of ensuring user trust and privacy, we are asking you to complete one of the above steps in the next 48 hours. If you fail to do so, your site may be subject to one of the enforcement actions outlined in our policies.

If you have any questions or believe you have received this message in error, please contact us.
Facebook Developer Relations


Please help us on this? What we need to do?

Hi everyone, this add-on has been updated to work with Facebook OAuth 2.0. Please update your installation if you are using it (you probably received an email about this from Facebook).

I am installing this and I hope it works. I will post once I am done. Thank you for your efforts.

[haytham]

I installed everything like in installation file. I got my key and secret. I logged out of my forum then clicked "connect with facebook". I was asked to agree to the app requiring permission to my info. on FB. I agreed. Then was taken back to my forum and saw this:
=======
In order to be able to post messages on the forums, you must first register.
Please enter your desired user name, your email address and other required details in the form below.
========
So does this mean it's not working yet? Or is this normal? If it's normal and I have to register still on the forum, then what's the use of connecting with face book then?

The form is there to let you choose a username. The email and password fields are all optional (the form states that clearly at the top).

Ok. So I tried my name but it said name already in use. Then I tried a different name and left the "optional" stuff out, I got this message:

The email address you entered is already in use. If you have forgotten your password, please click here

and I left the email field blank so how is it that the email is already in use??
I don't get this..

If you let the email empty, it will use your Facebook email.
Anyway, as you already have an account, you should associate it instead of registering. Go to profile.php?do=fbb then associate your account. You will find the link in the left sidebar in UserCP too.

I will do that tomorrow.It's 4.30 AM here :) But I think it's working ok. Just need to do some tweaking (on my part not yours) your mod installed easily and nicely. Missing the share with facebook button though. It should be here:

Hi..so where do I do this association? I went to face book and couldn't find it. In account settings there is "linked accounts" is that what you mean? Can u help in more details please?

When using this mod, and after I accept the app's permissions on face book, I get back to my forum, it won't let me connect with my face book name. I have to use any other name and email but once I am in and want to share a post, it is shared in my original face book name..I am kind of confused.

Sorry..got it..and works perfectly..I had to do this on my forum. So far so good. :)

[busybeeburns]

This is a fantastic mod that opens up a host of opportunities for vBulletin communities, however after brutally testing it over the last 24 hours, I have major issues with its neat compatibility with vBulletin. If anyone can help or discuss these I'd be grateful. These are:

1) Changes to Facebook or vBulletin in the future may render this mod incompatible, relying then on support from the developer to bring this mod back in line; if hundreds of administrators are relying on support from a sole developer who decides they are no longer bothered to upgrade for future facebook/vBulletin releases, this will have huge implications for incorrect login functions for potentially millions of registered members across the vBulletin communities.

2) Facebook holds registration details of members, eg. email addresses and passwords. If this mod was ever ditched, I could in theory have thousands of members unable to log in to my forum unless each account was manually altered in admincp. Registered members are unable to do this themselves as changes to email addys or passwords would not be possible as vBulletin would not recognise their original/old details. A logistical nightmare for administrators of large vB communities.

3) It appears that facebook Connect users cannot be contacted via mass email or mass PM add-ons as such users are not found within the database. This effectively renders the use of these important functions useless in the long-term. Especially important should the need arise above where they must take action to continue to log in to the messageboard.

4) I would like to see fblogin.php altered to accept Connect for exisiting vBulletin members only, or tweaked to go via a vB registration process where an vB email address and password can be added. The problems 1-3 above wouldn't exist if this was an alternative installation.

Apart from those important issues the mod is perfect!

Yes I did have a previous version of your mod installed, but uninstalled it a while ago, I have just reinstalled it today.

The link on the button goes to your facebook.php file.

What's exactly the url to the facebook.php file? Also, because you installed it before, probably you reused the Facebook app? If it's the case, you probably have authenticated your account before so Facebook will just redirect you back to vBulletin. And because you installed it before, probably the info is still in the database so YAFB logs you in. Is that the case? Important question: when you get back to forums, were you logged in or not?

This is a fantastic mod that opens up a host of opportunities for vBulletin communities, however after brutally testing it over the last 24 hours, I have major issues with its neat compatibility with vBulletin. If anyone can help or discuss these I'd be grateful. These are:

1) Changes to Facebook or vBulletin in the future may render this mod incompatible, relying then on support from the developer to bring this mod back in line; if hundreds of administrators are relying on support from a sole developer who decides they are no longer bothered to upgrade for future facebook/vBulletin releases, this will have huge implications for incorrect login functions for potentially millions of registered members across the vBulletin communities.

2) Facebook holds registration details of members, eg. email addresses and passwords. If this mod was ever ditched, I could in theory have thousands of members unable to log in to my forum unless each account was manually altered in admincp. Registered members are unable to do this themselves as changes to email addys or passwords would not be possible as vBulletin would not recognise their original/old details. A logistical nightmare for administrators of large vB communities.

This effectively renders the use of these important functions useless in the long-term.

1) Yeah, that's a valid point except for the fact that I updated this to keep it working with new Facebook policy.
2) You can register with a password or you can change password later.
3) What are you talking about? The email address is in vBulletin, you can mass email without any problem (but I don't recommend that). Also, you can mass PM just fine, have you tried it at all?
4) There is no fblogin.php in YAFB

Final words: what the hell are you talking about?

Just installed but have one issue.

When I go to UserCP and click Facebook Bridge options, there is nothing there but the save options button.

So when a new user registers, their email will be viewable in vB AdminCP?

That's correct

[pgowder]

Thanks!

Are you planning on adding anymore activities like the older mod had?

Like when someone posts a thread it prompts to post it on their wall?

No plan atm because I'm kinda busy. This is mostly a maintenance update because of major Facebook changes only.

Looks like you have an invalid app id or secret key. Please double check that.

Your description says this is an update., but if I didn't have your original mod, can this one still be used? Or do I have to install your original first and update it with this one?

You can use it directly :)

[The Ayatollah]

And are the install instructions the same then?

[mrpaint]

Yes :) It's very simple now also

I can't find the xml!!

[dom-in-eight]

Hey, I like the plugin so far, installation went smoothly. I'm noticing far less features then originally posted though (doesn't post or pm on replies, can't post on facebook when you get a new thread, and a lot of the options in the admincp of your screenshots don't exist in mine). Do I need to manually alter the styles or have these features been removed?

Thanks,
David

Hi, I'm having difficulty installing this. I can upload the php file no problem but .DS_Store won't appear in my forum root directory. I've done it a few times but nothing appears there. So when I try to upload the xml through Admin CP I get a message to upload the product first... Any ideas what might be going wrong?

[MissKalunji]

Seems to work well...one thing tho, the informations are not copied to Vbulletin? such has locations etc?

[basilrath]

Curiosity but does the following apply to this mod:

Facebook States
"You currently automatically import content from your website or blog into your Facebook notes. Starting November 22nd, this feature will no longer be available, although you'll still be able to write individual notes. The best way to share content from your website is to post links on your Wall. Learn more... about notes."

This mod has nothing to do with Notes, so probably not.

Just upgraded from YAFB v2.2.5 to 5.0.4b and am having major issues.

On the user avatar page, syncing with facebook avatar is no longer an option.

When I go to profile.php?do=fbb the only option is to connect or disconnect with facebook. None of the other pagefull of options that were there before.

I disabled it, uploaded files, imported the xml with overwrite, and re-enabled several times with no improvement. Have these options been removed, or is this because this upgrade is beta?

[Bradley_Wint]

Doesn't seem to work for me at all. When I try to Connect as a guest, I just get taken to a blank page.

[Artes_Marciales]

This Mod Work?

yrs it works on my 3.8 board.

[jazzyname]

I read the NEW Oct Requirements @ Facebook """an SSL Certificate is required for all Canvas and Page Tab apps (not in Sandbox mode)""" ... does this mean I need to get a SSL in which to use the facebook bridge ?????


Thanks for info in advance

[enjoyonline]

Will there be a version of this that will work with 4.1.10 of vbulletin?

[jimsflies]

I just got around to updating this...now for some reason, I am redirected to my forum home page when I click on the facebook connect icon rather than logged in via the bridge.

Any idea why this is happening?

[stryka]

Is the developer going to give this code for someone else to develop/expand?

Posting on wall feature is almost necessary

[kottemann]
