Hi.

I just upgraded to vBulletin 4.2.3-Beta 4, and the Facebook Connect works flawlessly ... except one minor detail: the user's FB photo isn't coming through (there is just a blank icon):

It looks like this has been officially updated to bug status (http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-16095) in vBulletin 4.2.3.-Beta 4. (Must be previously logged-in to vBulletin.com to view.)

Any info or help from coders who have encountered and overcome this would be appreciated.

Thanks,

You must have it missing from you custom skin go to your images/misc/facebook.gif
and download the facebook.gif to your desktop and upload it into images/custom skin name/misc

Thank you for taking the time to respond.

My concern is, will I have to do this for every new member, when they login and connect to FB?

I was hoping this could be automated through the FB controls, in Admin CP, so that when people connect their little FB image will automatically show.

On my old iteration of vBulletin, with the old FB interface, the upload of the image was automatic.

The blank image you have there normally goes with someone's fb image so if they dont have one it will be blank

My point is the opposite: That is my FB account, and I do have a FB image ... the entire point of my post is that, on my previous version of vBulletin, my FB image did show up, but on this current vBulletin version it does not show up :confused:

It's not that I "don't have" a FB image, in point of fact I do; it's that there is a bug to where vBulletin 4.2.3-Beta 4 is not extracting/displaying the FB image that I do have when I try to employ Facebook Connect :erm:

Hope that is clear now ...

Hi again.

Thanks for the info. I looked under Lynne's post, but couldn't any related to this issue.

What fixes did you put in? Care to share? Maybe they will work :)

I could look over all my changes and post them but this would take time

This is one of the fixes I added scroll to the bottom and use Joe D fixes

also watch this

To put into debug mode
add this line under <?php in your config
$config['Misc']['debug'] = true;
so it looks like
<?php
$config['Misc']['debug'] = true;
then to disable it use // so its like
<?php
//$config['Misc']['debug'] = true;
