YAFB - Yay! Another Facebook Bridge

[mrpaint]

The add-on has been updated to reflect Facebook new policy starting October 1st (read more here (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/oauth2-https-migration/)). Basically this is a maintenance update for user of this add-on from the past. The add-on now supports vBulletin 3.8.x only. In this new version, there are only the basic features: register and login (some simple sharing too). It keeps old settings so you don't need to re-configure.

How to update (this is important):
1. Disable the add-on in AdminCP
2. Upload files in the package (make sure you disable the add-on before uploading)
3. Import the xml in the package, choose Yes to rewrite.
4. Re-enable the add-on
5. Done

Just remember to disable the add-on before uploading files and you will be okie.

A little note for attachment downloads:
- YAFB v1.4 had been downloaded 36 times before I removed it
- YAFB v1.5: 4 downloads, YAFB v1.5.1: 26 downloads, YAFB v1.6: 29 downloads, YAFB v1.7: 22 downloads, YAFB v1.8: 48 downloads
- YAFB v1.9: 150 downloads

Once again, here is the demo board: http://daohoangson.com/vb38/ you can come and check it out. Some must-check features:
Register with Facebook (and then login with Facebook)
Playing around with enabling and disabling options (yeah, it's kinda relaxing)
Display profile block in profile page (member.php?u=x)
Posting thread/reply and get it published to your stream
Posting reply to an appropriate thread and comment auto-added to the corresponding Facebook post
Rating a thread is equal to clicking the Like button! You can even share the post via news feed
Receive PM and get notification in Facebook
Upload avatar/profile image and fullsize image uploaded to Facebook
Synchronizing Avatars. In the demo board, the cache timeout is set to 120 seconds. That value is pretty low but I think it's enough to demostrate the feature. Make sure you won't set it that low in your boards :D
Uploading pictures and posting commentThere are some screenshots for you to see right below. Enjoy your stay here ;)

Thanks..
First install...
I'll test now...

[azxS]

Thaaaanks! i testing now.

[BBR-APBT]

I have a couple questions before I install.

What about custom fields I require on register? Like user intro, Could have the option to add required fields under the user name block?

What if we de-install this mod, what will happen to the users that registered with this mod?

I didn't see an option for an email address?

Great work so far.

Very nice suggestion, I'm going to add required custom field into the register form. Hmm, but it will make the registration less streamline...

After uninstall/disable the product, registered accounts won't be able to login. I have several ideas for these accounts but I'm still thinking

Yes, the proxied email from facebook is used currently. But of course the forum can't send email unless member approve the email extend permission. I think I will ask for that permission after the registration, what do you think?

Or you could just add a box for email address like the other facebook mod.
Some of us have the email verification turned on and would cause problems.

[principino1984]

I thinkg i'm gonna use this bridge..it seems to be the best one around so far for the admincp option!

I'll try on my first forum..and then if everything's ok I'll use for my biggest one.

[Mark Fortune]

:) Statement and suggestion:

The main reason I probably wouldn't install this mod is because I use my forum as a means to cultivate membership as well as email address. The most important being the email address because I send a bi-weekly newsletter to members.

Would it be possible to offer the abilty to log in with FaceBook, but to activate their log in, they must put in a valid email address and click on an activation link in the email?

[burlesque]

Will this work on 3.8.2?

[erel34]

thanks

[Veer]

Great Job.

Tell me what will happen with the existing Facebook users that connects via other Facebook mod?
One more thing I need to know, If I delete old Facebook app and create a new one, will I lose all facebook users that connects via that app?

ok..now no more db problems!

I'm testing the option for the usercp... it's damn slow to accept modify...is it cause of facebook or somthing's wrong with my installation?


bug:

it's five minutes i'm trying to modify something and i don't get anything then https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/ (in http://www.xxxx.it/forum/profile.php?do=fbb)

In the admincp the line: Facebook Bridge + Edit Settings doesn't show up anything.

Looks like a javascript error.

Looks like a javascript error.

yup..but I don't know if something wrong with my installation since I'm tryin this mod on the default vb 3.8 style

Marco

[principino1984]

one more bug...

when you deactivate temaplates from admincp it turns out this windows "Could not find phrase 'fbb_template_deleted'." but it does deactivate the template...i think it's only a missing phrase on the language.

Marco

[mrpaint]

Well, released the YAFB 1.5. Please check it out

About slow page-load when "edit" templates, I think Facebook servers are a little slow these days and that why your page loaded slowly. Please be patient, if it works, it will work (err... did I make any sense saying that?)

About the javascript error. It's so weird, please send me your forum link via PM and I will come and check the bug down. Thank you

You don't need to create new Facebook Application. Just use the old one to keep all connection...
I'm planning to use the reclaming feature from Facebook to help recover password for user how deactivated their accounts. This thing will need a deep look to get it run smoothly

One last suggestion.
What about those of us that have custom templates? Could you post the manual template edits in the install instructions in case we would need them.

I am about to run the test install in a two hours.

There is no manual template edit as long as your style templates use default template_hook positions from vBulletin (and they should). If you have problem in page displaying, just post it here

[principino1984]

do you think you can make some kind of popup that let you choose what to publish and what not to publish? cause sometime there are some thread that my users don wanna share in fb.

Or just the "Staff" things...

Marco

ps. it would be awesome to have some king of check to select to let the post go to fb or not.

I have no facebook connect link on my site. It shows up in usercp but thats it. I use a custom navbar template and a custom registration page. So I need the custom edits for those two templates.

Thanks for all your work its much appreciated.

[principino1984]

yup...if you can do it there will be no other facebook bridge other then yours!!!

One more question, do we need to translate the language phrase to have the notification in our language or what? Cause I have only three templates in the options (the first for the test, one to invite guys and another one i don't remember what for) but I don't have i.e. the notification for new private message and so on.

Well, for the navbar link, please add this line of code into your navbar or header template (to find out which one should be altered, you need to look for other navbar links, if you're not sure about it you can send me your templates via email)

$template_hook[navbar_buttons_right]

With the registration page. It is completely rewritten and it can work independently

Good luck

Marco

I will think about the checkbox. It's a great idea I think.
About the notifications, they don't use template. FYI, the template bundle model is the old method. Facebook introduced the new stream and for most of the time, the product will try to publish with new API functions which don't use template bundles... Back to the notifications, you will need to search for the phrase in vBulletin and translate them. Yay! You are done

PS: I think I will added the checkboxes right now :cool:

[BBR-APBT]

That worked, I will just build from there for my register page.
I can get the template from there now that I got something to show up. I am going to change that with the other facebook button looks cleaner. Thanks a lot.

As for the check box for each post even though they allowed it to be posted would be great so they still have to check the box if they want it to show on their wall and what not would be a great addon.

Thanks for taking all the suggestions and implementing them so fast.

[motowebmaster]

Would it be possible to relocate the navbar link connect code?

[BBR-APBT]

Would it be possible to relocate the navbar link connect code?

You just have to get the code from your templates and put it where ever you want.

[BBR-APBT]

After uninstall/disable the product, registered accounts won't be able to login. I have several ideas for these accounts but I'm still thinking
When I disable it the users are still able to login long as they set email and password. So if I uninstall it will they be removed? If so will that cause errors on member numbers?

Bug Report:
This bypasses auth email. Members are sent directly to registered users.

When you log out the site you log out facebook too.

I have a forced intro thread on register. Most of it works just fine. It post the message but the user of the post is "test2 - test2" when it should just be "test2"

Also for some reason on index.php the link that it shows to the intro thread shows a link like this http://www.domain.com/forums/showthread.php?p=0#post0
it should be http://www.domain.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2842#post0

Both these errors are only in the last post section on index.

The idea of Facebook Connect is the user already done human verification and has a valid email address so it's not necessary to require email validation. And it's impossible also because we need the sending email permission in order to send email but if user can't log in, they won't be able to grant that email permission

When you log out of vBulletin, it's a required to log out of Facebook also to prevent a loop of logging in and logging out

Well, I use some hooks in the standard registration process to support other mods/hacks/products but sometimes, the other mod get conflicted with the Facebook registration. So, if you give me the name of the Introducing Thread, I will check it out and prevent future conficts

PS: FYI, the checkboxes are done :>

Well, 1.6 is out there with the checkboxes displayed in quick reply form, full reply form, full new thread form to allow member who enabled those specified actions to temporary disable for the upcoming post. Wow, I forgot to mention, the checkboxes are applied in sending private message also ;)

Won't send any update email this time. Hope you guys can get it all. I think 3 releases are enough for this weekend. Cya later!

[mrpaint]

I forgot to mention this little tweak: if you are going to post thread in an area which can not be viewed by guest, the checkboxes will be turned off automatically. You can turn them on manually to get the new thread published :-? Hmm, this is a small test, hope you like it :D

Well, this product has a fall-back log function that store all error code in a file (not in database). The file is located in your forum root named "fbb.log". Please create that file and chmod to 777. The reason for this file is to log everything independently from vBulletin database system. In the future release, I think I will remove the needs for this file but... not now :D

PS: Even the error are gone, you should create that file and chmod. We may need the debug information in it later.

Well, the auto-login can sometime slow down the page loading time but after the first check, it won't check again in the next 6 hours. If you are not sure about the product, you can try to go to Product Manager page and disable/uninstall it. If you can't do that, try to make change to config files and turn off hook systems (do a search in Google and you will find out what you need to do). Good luck, mate

2) I tried also with both (login+register) option turned on, Now I can see Facebook Connect button but I can not register with or without email address, I think this is because of vMail - Verify Mail before registration. (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=201466&highlight=vMail)

Since I validate email addresses the email and password box shows up for registration with facebook. The user inputs a email and they go strait to registered users. They can put in any email they want. So when I send my monthly news letter I will get email returns. Thus could cause my ip to be listed as spam. Just cause they login with facebook does not mean they will put a valid email.

I can deal with when they log out of vbulletin they are also logged out of facebook.

first one...the template "fbb_navbar_button" don't show up in the navbar even if I have the line "$template_hook[navbar_buttons_right]" written correctly in the navbar template.

second one.. about the coding... now the a,?,?,? etc don't mess up in the notification but they are not displayed at all. But at lease there's no wierd symbols for them.

Which template contain the template_hook? Is it navbar or header?

Hmm, the encoding issue is a tough one. I currently have no idea though :(

[Ohiosweetheart]

I'll have to give this one a try, since the other didn't work.
Thanks!

Yup I know that... but do you think you can make that the checkbox even if displayed are not checked by default? Or implement an option in the usercp?

the template_hook is in the navbar

Ok... if you find the problem it'll be great...right now I think this is the best bridge around! You're damn great!

I'll be waiting nex release for more features ;)

I'm translating the whole thing in Italian..I will send you the italian xml language file as soon as I'm finished ok?

is my problem

[Veer]

I changed the code to display the Facebook Connect button correctly even if you disable the auto register function. It will be include in the next version
About vMail. I have checked that product. They use hard-coded template edit so from outside I can't make it work this time. You have 2 options (in case you want to use this Facebook Bridge and it's registration process):
Stop using vMail
I will alther the code and temporary disable vMail in Facebook Bridge registration process.ok, that will be good.
can not stop vMail or FB cause both are damn good :D I think 2nd option is better If possible, Thanks.

Good suggestion, check box feature is really good but it is better not checked by default in anyway.

I agree, this one is superb :up:

Can you give me more detail about your setup? If the Edit Settings (with templates) page is going well, you may need to send me the file named fbb.log in your forum root. It's the debugging one and maybe I can help

Well, your server doesn't allow file writing permission in the forum root but it's okie since that behavior is just a debugging effort. I will remove the debugging code in showthread in the next release

I didn't get your idea of IM Card and Sidebar? What are they? What is profilepage also? You mean ./member.php huh?

I assume you used another plugin/product to provide tagging function, right? Yes, it's possible but you need to give me the link to that plugin/product so I can check it out

no i havnt changed the temlates it does have multiple options from me to choose from

When I test the new version when you release it I will test it again to try and get the error and then take screen shots it may work for some odd reason with the simple changes you made already.

[RWerksman]

This doesn't seem to be working for me. I'm getting the following in fbb.log

It's very strange since the showthread's script is one of the most important script and I checked it carefully. Why don't you send me your forum URL via PM and I will come by and do some tests?

The log looks normal (because most of the time the ajax and register script will get the error message of invalid session key). Can you provide me more info such as a screenshot of your settings page in AdminCP. Another screenshot of options page in UserCP. Can you connect Facebook Account with one of your existing vBulletin Account? So on...

Bug Report:
When I send a PM it sends a notification to facebook even though I have it off. How ever I do have it turned on to notify me when I receive a PM.

Here is the notification:
has just sent you a new Private Message with the title "Re: can you send me a pm back".

This is when I send a PM the username is blank and it says someone sent me the PM.
Incoming works fine.

Now back to the intro post:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/09/7.jpg

See the double user name in the red square. It is supposed to be single user name like the arrow points to.
This is only on the intro thread.

Also when you hover over the Test2 Intro It will show this in my browser:

But it really goes to this link /showthread.php?p=0#post0

And the last one it still bypasses the auth email check for me.

Thank you very much for creating this new facebook-mod, mrpaint! :)

Btw.:
To have the fbconnect-button nearby the register-link, I edited the navbar-template.
Searched for
<if condition="$show['registerbutton']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="register.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[register]</a></td>
and added
<td id="navbar_fbb" class="vbmenu_control">
<a id="navbar_fbb_link" href="register.php?do=signup&fbb" rel="nofollow">
<img src="$vboptions[bburl]/fbb/facebook_logo_16x16.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0"/>
$vbphrase[fbb_navbar_button_text]
</a>
</td>
this whole code from your fbb_navbar_button-template below. Furthermore I deactivated this original template to avoid double-entries in the navbar. This was no prob with the template modification system.

Very nice suggestion. I have implement the recent posts profileblock successfully and I think I will release it asap

If it said invalid API key... I think you should try again and remove spaces or other stuffs. You may need to paste into notepad to check it before copy and paste into vBulletin Settings page

Well, the Fan List is a test. I just take all threads from current user and count replies from others. Who posts most replies will get on the list. That's all

I took another look into the Intro Thread plugin and I found out that it duplicated the username by itself. Have you ever use that plugin before? I'm pretty sure that it will duplicate the username all the time. And about the link, it's because the plugin coder didn't use a proper procedure to create a new thread...

PS: Included the xml with the duplicated username fix. Just use it for your own with the testing purpose cause that plugin is not mine :P When I have time I will try to make it work better, hmm, when I have time

[Calash]

I still don't understand why the connect to facebook login button is not showing up anywhere? Nor am I asked to login with my facebook account at any point

Have not looked at the code, but from what I can see on the demo site it is probably due to your navbar template being heavily modified. Not sure if it is looking for a hook or some text pattern but that is likely the cause of your problem.




What...i don't check out EVERY single Facebook mod I see....:)

[RWerksman]

I pretty much have this working, but I have two things:

1. If you are running your vbulletin installation on more than one domain, you're out of luck It looks like this mod only works with the callback url.
2. I'd like for the email address to be absolutely required during signup. (or least there to be an option for that)

I'd really, really like for #1 to be worked around. :) Excellent mod overall.

I do - but don't seems to be working. ;)
Hmm. I improved this one and I hope it will work well in the next version

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

1. If you are running your vbulletin installation on more than one domain, you're out of luck It looks like this mod only works with the callback url.
2. I'd like for the email address to be absolutely required during signup. (or least there to be an option for that)

I'd really, really like for #1 to be worked around. :) Excellent mod overall.

Well, this is Facebook's policy since each application only work within a base domain. This is necessary to prevent abuse and protect members privacy I think. So, maybe there is no solution for this issue. I'm sorry

Excellent piece of work, one small problem for me is that I cannot get the Recent activity to show in the profile page I've tried playing around with it but to no success, I don't use the side profile boxes so need to display it in the main vertical row, although I've added the right tags to the profile template it's still not showing.

Understandable, but how does the bridge do user validation? I.E. if I create a user for myself, and I try to sign up again, the system automatically knows that it's me and logs me right in.

Ok, but what does it compare to:from? It looks like it compares the Facebook pulled userid to the stored fbuid in the user table, but something doesn't quite match up.

For instance, if I setup two identical applications, and repoint the application to use the second one, you would have to setup a new user as it wouldn't recognize my login correctly.

[webrats]

Hope it works :D
it does great job

the fan page still freezes my browser. but im happy

For instance, if I setup two identical applications, and repoint the application to use the second one, you would have to setup a new user as it wouldn't recognize my login correctly.

If no check had been done before, the check will be implement as a javascript scope. The flow is below

Check for Facebook session
If session found, send the associated facebook uid via ajax to our server
Server check to see if that facebook uid is connected and the forum member enabled the auto-login feature. If everything is found and matched, server return a positive flag, otherwise, server will send a negative one
The javascript code receives the response and redirect to login page (do the cookie, forum's session things) if it found a positive flag
The javascript code marked (using cookie) as the check has been done and store a time note to prevent future check


That's how things are going

Edit: Oops. If you replace the API key with the 2nd application's one, from our forum, we won't able to check for connected user who connected with us using the 1st application's API key. Everything should be done using only one API key. The relationship is 1-to-1. If you decide to change, I suggest you to uninstall the product and import the xml file again... :(

If you disable the Experimental settings from AdminCP, the link will not be shown up (and it won't work either, opening that link will result in a blank page). I haven't improve that script, yet :P

No, 3.8.4 but the sideboxes don't really fit in with the style of our site so they were removed from the template, I've been able to fix the sideblocks for gifts & albums so they show vertically instead which is much more in keeping with the rest of the site. I've tried doing that with the facebook sidebox but had no success as when I change the hook location it vanishes..

Can you give me a fullpage screenshot after your changes made in template?

[redlabour]

BUG still exists at 1.9:

1. Connect your Account at Forum and logout. Then log in at your Facebook Profile.

2. Try to log in at Forum with the "Connect with Facebook" Link at Forum.

3. The Bridge wants still register you again at the Forum.

The Bridge should save which Facebook Profil is allready connected to a Forumuser and has to prove this at "Connect with Facebook" Link.

Just to make sure that you understand what i mean:

If a User has connected once with the Bridge the next Time he use the Bridge he should be logged in automatically at Forums without asked again if he wants to register or log in.

In the best Way the Bridge should prove at the first Time if the Mail from Facebook was allready registered at a Forumaccount and ask only for the Forumpassword to validate and connect the Accounts.

FOUND A SIMPLE SOLUTION:

Auto Authentication (login and logout automatically) at UserCP should be ON automatically at every Userprofile if this Setting is ON at ACP.

[redlabour]

Feature Request:

Please allow us to edit and create Templates directly from ACP like at vB Nexus (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=220820). ;)

Phrase request:

Thank you for logging in, xxxx.
Note: The system logged you in automatically with your Facebook Session.

[mrpaint]

Well, ideally after registration via the Facebook procedure, all options will be enabled automatically (with a few exceptions because they depends on other config/settings). From what you reported, I think you registered normally then connect your account with Facebook, right? Well, I don't turn them on with existing account connection (maybe will be added a setting soon)

About the link. I changed to a landing page (root/facebook.com). After Facebook session confirmed, there will 2 links (register and login). If user registered, clicking both links will result in auto-login. If member enabled auto-login feature. They will get through automatically

I can't provide further convenience for the landing page. I really thing it's enogh with all those fallbacks

Regards,

[mrpaint]

About the creating template request, I'm not at home now but as I remember, there is a link at the bottom of the Manager page that allow you to create template. It's simple as that :D

Done. I completely cleaned all installed files from my installation of 1.8, and reinstalled 1.9 (new version from this morning), even allowing the product to 'overwrite', just in case. I'm still receiving the exact same error.

Note that my AdminCP options screen doesn't go any further than the "Blank Template" title line.

You may want to list php5 as a prerequisite for this mod, in case there are others having similar syntax issues.

At this Time i cant find out what "Blank" and "Testing" Templates are for. And i miss the Templates for all other Facebookmessages.

Hmm, I'm not sure what you changed in your template but from your screenshot, I think you expect to display a "Recent Facebook" tab in the left column (and in your case, it's the only column). I have just edit the MEMBERINFO template and put $template_hook[profile_right_last] right below $template_hook[profile_left_last] then... bump... The tab appeared! (You can see there is another block on the right as I just copied the hook, you should moved it instead to prevent duplication)

Oops, by default, the product share the same template bundle for posting reply and posting thread (the posting reply only use the one-line template while the posting thread use both of them, config via UserCP)

What really makes you confused? Tell me so I will explain to you ;)

About "Blank": it's the template used when something called the new stream publish API but failed (usually because of missing publish_stream extend permission). In that case, the product will automatically fallback to display a feed form to let our members publish the feed manually. Because the new stream publish API doesn't use template bundles but the display feed form procedure need one so the product need a "Blank" to fill it on

About "Testing": You can see a link in the UserCP where member can test the connection. That's where this template bundle is used

The Fans List actually contains your fans because they are the people who most reply to your threads ;) And yeah, it's not that simple Friend list at all :D

About the profile block. It's highly chance that privacy settings prevented us to fetch information. Try using another Facebook account and tell me the result, okie? In case it still doesn't work, you can turn on the DEBUG mode and... Well, if it doesn't work, give me your forum URL and I will come by and check it out ;)

Thanks for looking into the profile problem for me, I had tried duplicating the hook you were using as well as changing the hook_location just incase it was being used in multiple places but it still didn't show up..

but..

I've realised why, it shows the recent wall posts you've made and just that, it doesn't show the wall posts from apps and that others have left on your wall, if you get a lot of app wall posts and don't have a recent wall post you've made yourself then the tab will not show, so really it was just a misunderstanding about how the profileblock was working causing it to vanish on me.

Would it be possible for app wall posts to also be shown?

---

Also testing the 1.9 landing page (facebook.php) on my admin account that I connected to my facebook account, it works great when you click login, but if you click register it wants me to register again it should give an already registered warning, or maybe login with a notice that you are already registered so don't need to do so again ;)

Well you are the boss, just a bit weird having the tab coming and going when the users wall gets flooded with app posts, maybe a "no recent wall posts" notice so the tab always has some content and doesn't vanish? or an option for what is shown from the wall in the facebook tab would be even better :)

In the usercp, select the facebook bridge > options item at the bottom of the sidebar you can then link a facebook account to an existing account, it's safe for all members to do this as just adds the facebook info to the account which is removed again if the product is uninstalled no other alterations to the account take place.

To test, register an account on the test board using the normal vbulletin registration and then connect as explained above ;)

I hope the problem had gone with the latest update?

No - some Users are still forced to register at Forum even if they are Users before if they login first Time with Facebookaccount.

Currently, there is no tool to help you move automatically. But you can do the manual way: disable Facebook Connect, install YAFB, use your old API key, config everything, tell your members to go to YAFB's setting page (profile.php?do=fbb) and click Save Changes. Hope things go well :D

The only issue there is that the other mod creates a random string for a password rather then have the user provide one. So those users can't login without hitting the FB connect button. I though I would try logging in with the button of the old mod then trying to set it up with the new mod (have both running at once), but I got a fatal error when I tried. Any ideas how to move the users?

Would it be possible to create custom notifications? Like to be able to send a notification out to all your FB connect members to tell them something? For example send a notification out to everyone saying that the forum will be unavailable for updates at x time?

woow gr8 installed

nice n easy

worked like charm

thanks

[Matt Lathrop]

I can't seem to get notifications to come through on subscribed threads.

[fluentdesigns]

No - some Users are still forced to register at Forum even if they are Users before if they login first Time with Facebookaccount.

Is this problem planned for a future update? the problem I am having is most of my members are trying to use the facebook connect button and are getting the error message.

[goxy63]

On your demo page its not working for me !?

[karlm]

I have been looking into this option for a while now. I went to test it using your demo forum - but alas, upon clicking the 'connect to facebook' button I was only presented with the following...

int(1390) array(1) { ["template"]=> string(2621) " $stylevar[htmldoctype] $headinclude $header

Plugin working fine for me :)

I found a little problem with Automatic Emebed Media and Automatically parse links in text checkbox not anymore checked by default ad soon as your plugin is Enabled.

I solved the first problem using CYB - Change vBForms Defaults, but I cannot do anything for the AME conflict.

Hi there,

I have just come back and wow, it looks like the unreleased version which I'm testing on the demo site got a serious bug. I have fixed it and you can continue testing the demo. Thank you all

New features are going to be added and released soon. Cya later

About the checkboxes bug: That's really funny bug. Thank you. I figured it out and thing will be fixed in the next version (release this weekend).
Also, can you describe more detail with AME so I can check it out if there is any solution...

[mrpaint]

Is this problem planned for a future update? the problem I am having is most of my members are trying to use the facebook connect button and are getting the error message.
What is the error message please?

I can't seem to get notifications to come through on subscribed threads.
Please test the notification system by turning on the "new reply to own thread" option then use another forum account to post to one of your thread. If the notification is not shown up, it's highly chance that Facebook banned notification permission with your application. Anyway, do the test and tell me the result so we can check it out

Would it be possible to create custom notifications? Like to be able to send a notification out to all your FB connect members to tell them something? For example send a notification out to everyone saying that the forum will be unavailable for updates at x time?

OK I have a question about the login with facebook feature when a user log in with their facebook account does that username get created in VB ? I want to know how this feature works and what usergroups they get placed into, what userrights do they get? I would like to enable this feature but need more details on how this interacts with vb for useraccounts? Also if the members cancels there facebook account how does that effect there vb account.

A new account is created for each Facebook user
New account is in Registered User group (and is applied all of this usergroup permissions)
If the Facebook account is canceled/deactivated, that person can reclaim his/her account with the reclamation process ;)

I solved my problem installing passive video instead of AME on my little forum...since AME has some serious problem with VbGooglemap ME.

Anyway...AME is just an hack that shows you the youtube/yahoo/myvideo etc etc box instead of the normal url links

I can't wait tiill the next release!! ;)

[Matt Lathrop]

Hey mrpaint. Thanks so much for the replies. I do get notifications on threads that are my own that is why I thought it was weird. I did get everyone moved over... it was a interesting process but we got it done. Oh and about the sending the notification... I would really appreciate that feature. In fact the only reason that I want subscribed threads to work is so I can subscribe all my users to a thread and they will get notifications when I post updates. My board is actually based off a FB group and the FB boards were just not cutting it. So anyways that feature would be GREATLY appreciated.

[RWerksman]

Ok - this mod suddenly stopped working for me. Folks who registered with the application can no longer log in using it. Folks can't register using it anymore. When I pull up someone, such as myself, I get the following:

Connection Established Not Permitted Permission to Read Stream Not Permitted Permission to Publish Stream Not Permitted Permission to access your data when you are offline Not Permitted Sending Email via Facebook Not Permitted
Help!

[RWerksman]

It does not appear to be writing to any type of log, and doesn't seem to want to regenerate the posting, etc. bundles used during posting back to Facebook. :(

[Sledgstone]

Hmm, I installed this mod today and it seems to be working good. But when I click "Send a `Test` wallpost to your Wall" it doesn't actually make a wallpost, but instead shows up under "RECENT ACTIVITY". Is this how its supposed to work, or is there a setting I'm missing to enable new posts or threads made by me to show up as an actual wallpost?

Also, when I click on "Publish a `Test` newsfeed to your friends' stream" it gave me an error, says it'll try to manually add it or something and when I check my facebook page it successfully posted it to my wall.

[RWerksman]

Ok, so there are no template bundles either now! WTF?

I nuked it and reinstalled it thinking that the product would recreate them, and NOTHING.

Yes, it's susposed to post into Recent Activity section. About the newsfeed, it try to publish a post automatically but if it failed (missing publish_stream permission for example), it will fall back to manual mode: a popup appear and the user has to click Publish by him/herself

Yes, all images are in icon folder, I checked again, may be there is a custom skin issue, but I already uploaded all icons to the custom skin folder too.

Update: it was a custom style issue and I correct this by uploading all icons into the custon skin folder, icons are displaying after I run YAFB Hourly Job via Scheduled Task Manager.

but there is another issue:

I think favicon.ico is come because of a thread without having a post icon.

The issue is this.. If my mods are posting in mod only forums and accidently check the post facebook which they are in MOD viewable forums then we have a security breach. We need to have this mod exclude certain forums from even showing any facebook features to prevent any posts back to facebook

Also one more thing.. Is there a way to NOT have the facebook options already checked when posting a new thread or replying to one. such as

Post one line Story
Post Comment

Can these just be listed and the member has to check the box each time they want either option?

Yes, upgrade info section will be good, also include the file names that have been changed since last version, because if you don't tell us we don't know what files have been changed and its very hard to upload all files on every miner or major update.

thank you very much for quick fixes and updates.

[bada_bing]

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....

[Calash]

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 :)
