Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any help.


Anybody have an idea how to resolve this?

I have installed this on a test forum and I have noticed that when you register by using the FB mod it does not transfere or ask for a password for the forum. This is fine if a user always uses the FB app to log in BUT
I the user had to log in by traditional methoods they would get the "username password" incorrect because there is no password in the forum database.

Should you build a large number of users with this and then remove the FB mod you would have alot of users needing to request passwords.

Maybe there is away to force a redirect a new FB regristration to a page where they have to fill in there real email and password before using the forum?

Cheers

Madotds

Bump :D

Sorry This is the 1st time I think I have bumped a post but is there a way to make my post above happen? if not I really can not see how this could work on a forum as it would only take a small issue with facebook and members would not be able to sign in!

pandoros 04-18-2009 09:13 PM

It doesnt work for me!!
I followed everything properly! the link appears above the login, but it stops there!
if you click on it nothing happens

hambil 04-19-2009 09:49 PM

Someone else has probably already posted this, but here is a Template Modification System xml that makes all the template edits for you.

This XML appears to only do the footer/navbar... none of the "optional" edits which are the tough ones.

hambil 04-20-2009 06:07 PM

It does all the edits. You may need to make sure they get applied to your other skins. It does the master skin by default I think.

I really need that all users allow me to send e-mails to them.

How can I make this feature compulsory in FBconnect?

The same thing happened to me, but I fixed it.
My problem was the wrong address in the Connect tab

The installation instruction was:

Quote:

Click on the Connect tab and set the Base Domain to your domain (siteurl.com) without the http or www.
But when I did so, the program automatically put http:// but not www. in front of my address, so I had a website like http://alternativa-forum.com instead of http://www.alternativa-forum.com

Go back to connect tab and check it. Does it show the proper website address? If not, change it!

I agree, the app needs to be streamlined a bit more. Not everyone wants to edit their templates manually, ick!

All in all, the app looks good. I haven't been able to fully test the data mapping, but we'll see what happens there in a few days.

Nitro212 04-23-2009 07:15 PM

I have having an odd problem I am sure some of you might be having as hell. I was having the "message too short" problem but I think I fixed it by resetting my secret code in facebook and updating it on my forums. Now I am having an issue with the newsfeed. Everytime I make a post or reply and it asks me if I want to publish on facebook everytime I press a button lik "Never Publish" or Always Publish it doesn't respond. Then if I close the box it sends the message. Hm? Also does it with the regular "Publish" "Skip"

I just also read through some posts in the 3.7 version topic for this hack and noticed a few people asking for the option in the ACP to exclude certain forums completely from being published to the news feed.

I'd like to also make this request!

For the time being I'm going to keep the news feed option turned off because of the privacy issue, we have too many private forums which I don't want to risk going to the news feed - even some of the topic titles can be too personal.

But hoping to be able to let our members use it soon if a future version has this change :)

Thanks Sllik for such a fantastic hack, I've voted it for MOTM :)

Hi Sllik,

Just wondering if this idea has been considered? It hasn't been acknowledged yet on your part as far as I am aware, so would love to know if its an upcoming feature... or at least a possibility for one.

Cheers :)
Bumping... still waiting for a response :(

This is brilliant just for the sheer fact of instant registration through Facebook. Holy moly...great mod! I'm not using the news feeder stuff (my users would be annoyed by it, methinks), and it's installed and working great, so good show!

Hope you guys work out your problems...

Uasuforos 04-27-2009 09:24 AM

Thanks, working great in my forum

busybeeburns 04-27-2009 09:56 AM

This is a fantastic mod, 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 partially 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!

This is my main issue with this mod. I have asked the question but had no awnser :( Even just adding a redirect to a page where email and password must be entered would help.

I am afraid until these issues are addressed I can see admins using this mod having big issues in the future.

ArchangelX 04-27-2009 12:11 PM

Hmm...very...very good point that I hadn't thought of. Ouchies...

powerful_rogue 04-27-2009 12:20 PM

Ditto.

Ive got this set up on my test site and its working like a dream, however im now having second thoughts due to what appears the developers lack of time/interest.

All it takes is a facebook update and this mod could be useless, leaving members unable to log into the forums.

Hi - are you able to ban Facebook Connect users from your bulletin board if they spam?

Thanks!

Linkz0r 04-28-2009 02:37 PM

Hi, I've just installed and edited all the necessary templates as it has said in the install guide, but when I click connect to facebook button underneath login it doesn't pop up with the facebook login box, it links to http://www.club-gamer.com/# Any Help with this would be appreciated thank you.

Double check your facebook app settings. The addon states that you shouldn't use www.domain.com for both settings, but it should be done. I had this problem with the domain settings in the facebook app stuff myself.

Basically, make sure that the app settings (on facebook) point properly. That should solve that.

I'm considering having this option added by a vb programmer. Lets say I made it so a new user registering through FB (the first time only) gets a pop up window (after they log in through FB) asking them to confirm their VB email and username (the one they just used to login to FB)... Where would this email & pw be saved? Is this a possible modification?

Uegnet 04-28-2009 04:48 PM

And there is a proxymail registered on the user,
apps+a_lot_of_numbers_and_letters@proxymail.facebo ok.com

If you should type in a new adress there, wouldn't that mess up the feed?


And another thing with the feed,

Quote:

News-Feed will be published on to the user's wall when the user:

* Logs in for the first time
* Replies to a thread
* Creates a new thread
Is it possible to make it only do that first login and new threads?
Edit: Baaah, I'm an idiot. Just don't make the template change for "new reply" maybe? :D

Aaand that is does not update your status, only posting "<username> created a new discussion thread: Thread name/URL"
?



Uhm, and yeah .. how on earth do I edit these lines, want to have them in norwegian ^_^

Alright so does this screenshot of my facebook app settings look correct to you?

These are major issues that I wish I knew earlier. I'm in a difficult position now since many users are using FB Connect.

Hi,

I seem to be having some issues, i have this installed and working how ever it is not consistent on logging in. It take up to 5 attempts for it to log a user in.

What is wrong?

I seriously hope that this gets taken care of...I'm actually having reservations about having this on my board now. :(

lajoieC 04-30-2009 01:24 AM

I was originally using a different forum (which I will leave unnamed) for my website, and was trying to use Facebook Connect for the same reasons, but was limited to how much control I had over the forum. Then I found vBulletin and was very pleased with how much control I had over it. But I was even more pleased to see that someone else had already created a plug-in for for the Facebook Connect functionality! Great job and simple to get started!

I do have a few questions, though:

1) During my research of the Facebook Connect rules, I thought I remember reading that the Facebook profile pictures have to contain the "f" icon somewhere in the corner to indicate that the person was connected through their Facebook account. Is this true? And if so, is there a way you could include this?

2) After some testing with posting a new thread, and getting the prompt to post to Facebook, I have found that the Skip button does not work. Instead, I have to click the close ("x") button. Is there something I'm not doing right, or is this a known bug? Where could I look to find out?

3) This is an issue I believe someone else brought up: When entering a nick-name, if you first enter a name that is already taken, and then try to pick other names that couldn't have possibly been taken (like "flkdsfskdhgdshgeifshdfkjvhdsjkhf"), the red text saying that it has been taken remains. It's never reset when you try to enter a new name.

Thanks! And again, you did a great job and saved a lot of people a lot of time with this!

MoveOver.cc 05-02-2009 07:44 PM

Over 2 weeks ago I paid the $25 and have had no reply after several attempts from the coder.

I have also contacted Vbulletin.org about this but have had no reply which is very dissapointing.

:(

pericolosogr 05-03-2009 11:40 AM

when somebody logins, there is a new user created but in his mail field there is something of this form : apps+2312391283902472109482309218@proxymail.facebo ok.com
What do i have to change so that the proper mail is registered?

What do you mean that all these users coming from facebook connect are not registred in the database? i see them, properly, with id, username, details etc
You mean that if someday facebook stops working they wont be able to connect to my forums (but they do have username and password)
