It will take them to a registration page as a suggestion for when joining. I'm pretty sure they can bypass it, but it isn't really recommended if and when you may find it time to remove the mod for some reason, and you're users don't have a standard password to log in with.

Hello,

Firstly, thanks for this great mod. I have installed it but there is a little problem. When I try to share a post I can't. I think there is a javascript problem. I will add a photo that is when I try to share a post. I noticed that links are strange some chracters appear different maybe it will be help you to solve problem. Thanks... (my vbulletin version is 4.0.1)

Hello,

I installed this mod on my new v4.0.2 site. Everything looks fine.

Except that the session timeout is too fast or not working properly. This happens to both normal forum login and connect with facebook. ie if i login at the main page and go to a sub-forum i will no longer be logged in.

How to resolve this?

You do know there is a exploit out for 4.0.1 right?

Sounds like a cookie issue with your site and not a problem with this mod.

is the connect with facebook button placed along with the login box on forum? or is it still "hidden" ?

It's in your navbar.

Digital Jedi is correct - I was wrong about the registration process. It say email and passwords are "optional" and only the forum username is required. I had three people test though, and all three didn't notice the word "optional" until I pointed it out :)

Also, if someone attempts to register a new account with the FB bridge after having already set up one (by going through the registration process again and entering a 2nd username), this PHP error is generated:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting ';' in /[mydomain]/html/forums/fbb/runbox_hook_register_addmember_complete.php on line 5

Lastly, the text on the registration page (the warning that passwords are case-sensitive, etc) is not displaying properly. It is putting one letter/character on each line, or another similar strange behavior.

Overall, although this mod technically does work (in that it creates a vb account from a Facebook account), it is buggy, confusing for users, and the user experience is not great compared to other implementations of FB connect around the web.

It is simply not in good enough shape for me to use on my boards. Which is a shame considering it is the only vb4 FB Connect option, at the moment. Hopefully further patches are introduced, or someone else releases their own version. I certainly appreciate the dev's effort.

The old 3.8 Facebook Connect functionality is what is needed, here. Something dead simple. Users press connect, press connect again when the Facebook dialogue pops up, select a forum username, and are then off and posting.

Hello!

I have a problem after registration:
After sign up (with username, password and email) I got a white (blank) page. After refreshing it works.

Version 4.0.1
No other mods installed

Would be nice if you could tell me what the problem is.

Greets

there's a problem to your code. after implementing it, when my users login on main page, it will appear like they never login in the first place.

hello everyone,

i need help for the following for this mod.

1. Able to display the "Connect with Facebook" button at the login page, the page whereby it says the person has no permission to post a reply.

2. Able to display the "Connect with Facebook" button at the main page top right (somewhere below the login box) so that my user can connect to facebook through there if they wish.

Do I need to pay for this service or someone has already come up with this?

It was simple process, but ultimately Facebook Connect didn't take into account what would happen with the uninstall situation I mentioned before. I also don't know what would have happened had I made one of the FB users a moderator or admin, and they needed they're own forum password. Nevertheless, it was really tough to install for less experienced admins and it generated a ton of daily database errors, at least on my install. It was a nice idea, but the author just didn't have the time to address all those bugs which were way harder on my installation then anything I've seen from this one.

That runbox error, by the way, is something that has been mentioned a few times. Just disable the runbox plugin in your Admin CP and it will go away. It's apparently not needed. Also, the registration page error might have something to do with any custom styles you are running.

I wouldn't take user confusion as a sign of a mod's flaws. Users often have trouble trying to figure out vBulletin itself. They learn new things only from experience, and especially if they've never used something with as many options as this. Give them time and a little instruction and they'll get used to it. Ultimately, you should consider the fact that you're getting a lot of questions about a particular feature as a sign of it's popularity. If no one is using it, then no one will ever bother to mention it.

i hv a suggestion.

shall we add a facebook "Add As Friend" button in the user profile?

Benefits: Allow your forum members to make more friends in your community while they participate in discussion.

Same happened to me, u reload page and it loops until goes in again as logued with the new registrar.....

people will think there is a error on blank page ans just leave... :S:S:S

Yeah, they're still logged in. It just does that for some reason when you happen to be sent to the facebook.php page.


I'm not sure what causes that, but the first thing I would check is too see if all my files uploaded or something disappeared somehow. Also, try disabling the runbox plugin.

Is there a way to connect a FAN PAGE to a VBULLETIN MEMBER ???????

I have no runbox plugin, and files are ok, indeed, all plugin is working superb, except for this blank page after a new registration.

I made 2 tutorials here, maybe can help others, are in spanish but with good screenshots:

:erm::up::up::up::up::up::up::up:

[Runbox] Register Adding Member Complete (register.php) is the last plugin in the Facebook Bridge's list of Plugins in the Plugin Manager.

That solved the problem for me on 4.0.2. What is the disadvantage of having that plugin disabled?

Nothing it is not used. It is for a affiliate program for runbox that is not used.

I have read through the thread and do not see it anywhere. If I allow the sync of avatars when I go to the avatar page there is an error in includes/class_core.php(line 4001). The only fix I have seen it to disable the sync of avatars (which I have done). However one of the big benefits for me is the usage of the FB avatar in a user profile.

Did I miss the fix or cause of this in the thread that anyone is aware of?

I don't think the avatar sync is perfected yet. Personally, I would have preferred the sync to be Profile Picture to Profile Picture, rather than to avatar.

The plugin disable normal upload of avatars causing this:

Shouldn't have anything to do with the Facebook bridge. Unless there's some options in 4.0 I don't know about.

Is there a chance to get/translate this addon into german?

Ja. Just translate under language and phrases in Admincp . I translated mine to norwegian :)

Avatar fix for vB 4. It posted in the very first post.

[KNOWN ISSUES]
Editing Avatar in vBulletin 4 caused error. Temporary fix is available

Is this available as a product yet?? :confused:

Um, what?

ok i got this problem - http://whysg.com/

Notice that it's stuck in the middle............ how do I shift it to the left or below? Can someone please help?

I don't see anything in the middle. What are we looking for?

it seems to work pretty well on mine except that both new registrations that have tried it have gotten this error:

any idea what that is?

Thanks!

Read the thread as it is posted 20 times now how to fix that error. like 10 times in the last 5 pages. You have to disable a plugin.

thanks!

I saw something about blank pages and didn't think it was the same thing...I have one other thing that I need to figure out but I'll go back and reread the thread before I ask...

Installed program which i think is the best one out there but now when i post anything i get this message

The following errors occurred with your submission:

1. The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 1 characters.

This hack works just fine. It will not break your forum unless you are to incompetent to run a forum. Simply uninstall and remove the files no problems.

If your site is broke its something you did not this mod.

Sorry i lost 8 days of posts and members. i was pissed. but here is the deal see if you can help me figure this out..
I reinstalled it and the first post test went well. the second gave me this error message

The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 1 characters.

Now i installed it and migrated the users from the other FB mod i had. i disabled the mod. didnt uninstall the original one. I used the same Api and secret code. and it lets me log in find but gives me that error when i post. what could be the issue?

Also i found that it will post if you go back and refresh and click post. and this is after i deactivate the Mod. what do you think can be the issue? your help is greatly appreciated

My new users registering to the forums directly, without invovling the FB connect bridge button are getting the below error message. Can anyone help? I was told this is a known issue, and that there is a patch, but I am unable to locate it...

"Error message:Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting ';' in /hsphere/local/home/tofindhealth/tofindhealth.com/forums/fbb/runbox_hook_register_addmember_complete.php on line 5"

Thank you

I surfed the net and realized it was the Style. Thanks guys. I should have tried that before i lost all my info. I can't log into my forum with Facebook connect. it does not recognize me
