Facebook Connect on External Site

[dog199200]

I am just wondering. How can I tap into vBulletins facebook connect button? I would like to add the button into an external page. I have my external page and vB bridged by calling the global file in vB and using classes, but I can't seem to figure out how to get the button to show up on my main site and work.

Bump. This is something I really need help or advice with. I am not the first person to wanna do this. Suggestions?

Bump. I'm gonna keep bumping till someone points me in the right direction. The support on the main forum for this software sucks...

Hi,
Have you found a solution?
I have the same exact problem.
I manged to have an external login using this hack: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228089 but I can't find a way to add the FB connect so that it logins to the site and forum at the same time.

Please let me know.

Regards,

Have you tried doing something? or do you expect someone else to do your work for you?

[dog199200]

I have tried, in more ways that I can count. I have done research, I have picked apart the source code for the forum, and still nothing. I can replicate the form, but can't find where the code it that does the signing in. I need a fresh perspective..

Perhaps since no one answered you in this forum, post your request in the paid request forum. There is members there that basically only look in that forum for work. :)

For the record, it worked just fine for me. Though I suspect your app isn't configured correctly.

Zachery, would you please verify what "worked just fine"? I would like to make sure we are on the same page. Currently I am including the global.php file into my website so I can tap directly into some of vbulletins php functions. For my login system, I have a form setup and forward that form into the vbulletin login.php script, which handles the rest. I have found nothing when going through the script that says how the connect button functions, just the form for it.

When I liked your page, it showed up on my timeline.

Oh, that isn't exactly what I am having issues with. The like button is actually separate from the vbulletin facebook connect. What I am wanting is the actually facebook connect login button at the top of the website, not the like button. I can copy the programming code for the actual facebook login button into my external web page, but it will not do anything. Also, the site that my forum is on is actually http://www.shiningashes.com, the one in my profile is the .net which is the business side.

Moving the template code to your template does not satisfy the dependencies of the code, it is not that simple. However, you have a perfect example of it in the vBulletin code.

Sorry, I had no other way to answer this question since you did not really ask a programming question. You asked a 'how do I do that' question, which is what I am replying too. Unfortunately, you question is too broad in scope for me to be helpful.

Does your regular site actually have a login system?

I am asking in a broad way to see how other people have done it. Also, I am fully aware that more is needed than just the form for the connect. The problem I am having is finding the actual dependencies needed. I have plucked through the source codes and I find bits and pieces, but if I recompile everything, it will not work. I am not new to pulling information in and out of the vbulletin system, or editing the direct source code for that matter, but finding everything needed to actually get the facebook connect to work on an external website has always thrown me off. (not in the forum directory)

Does your regular site actually have a login system?

Yes, and no. The login on my regular site, and the forum are exactly the same. By calling the Global.php file, I am able to access the login system. I can have people login on the website, and they will log into the forum as well. The thing is that I can get the facebook connect to work on the forum, but not on my external site.
