Facebook/Gmail/Yahoo/etc connectors

[shaun2222]

I've been seeing these alot lately and i'm curious how they work...

1. When the login for the first time, is a user created in vbulletins user table?

2. What username is displayed when they post?

3. What if they no longer want to use there facebook/gmail/etc login, can they use the standard vbulletin login method?

As you requested here, I assume you were asking about YAFB so all the answers are for YAFB only.


A user account is created if you enable the Register On-the-fly feature. Otherwise, that user must go through a simplified registration process
If you use the Register On-the-fly feature, usernames will be generated from predefined patterns (set via AdminCP settings page). If user goes through simplified registration process, they can choose their own username
They can change password and use the standard vBulletin login method afterward.


Please note that, all the answers are for YAFB. I have no idea why shaun2222 didn't post these questions in the thread but I hope it's appropriate for me to answer here. Thank you for reading.

Thanks for the reply, my questions where posted here rather than in that other thread because i know there are a few facebook bridge addons out there and not all of them may be the same. Figured a few people would reply to this thread with "this one does this", "that one does that", etc...

So if the user no longer wants to use facebook to connect, they can login with the username they choose, i assume they choose a password too?
