Can you tell me how you got it working? because I downloaded in that thread the YAFB 3.3.2 Installation.zip attached archive, and into it i found two xml import files. Then I imported the "product-yafb" file, but it seems to be developed for vb4.0.x

Mr.Paint

1) Is there a way to also "auto-disconnect" from facebook when you log out from you vbulletin session?

2) Also, is there a way NOT TO REDIRECT users to their fbb profile page right after registration?

Follow the step by step and IT WILL WORK.

Does anyone know that code to use so that I can place the "connect with facebook" image on my portal. I use vbportal and the plugin install did not add this to my portal but only my vb pages.

Hiya
Bit of a strange issue when I try to send a notification, I get the message:

Found 6 Connected Users. Ready to send notifications...
FYI: We got 1 pack(s) to send. Each pack contain maximum 40 user
Sending pack #0 (6 user(s)): 690628407, 528572223, 614667654, 1006181213, 1114565987, 691890407 - FAILED

Question 1
Ok i tried this a few months ago and got no response so i will try again. When new users sign up their date of birth defaults to Jan 1 1970. Why does this happen. I have seen on other sites it asks for date of birth.. help me figure this out please.

Question2

If i upgrade to VB4.0 how will i migrate the users from this hack to the built in Facebook connect from VB4.0?

I get the following error
However, when i view the member it says that the member in question (me) has granted Offline Access permission. I also need to know how to enable publishing of streams to my fan page. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Is there anyway to get the SHARE button to show on vbadvanced homepage in the news block.

Here is the site: www.maczuki.com

On the vba homepage new to replies and video I would like to add the share link. Can this be done?

Thanks!

Does this work with the latest facebook API changes and setting up facebook applications? :)

It sure does. I just set up a site yesterday and works perfectly!

Here: www.maczuki.com

Can someone give me the code that gets placed in the navbar to connect through facebook? Or a code to put on the registration page? Thanks. :) I'm using a heavily customized style and it doesn't add anything to the navigation for the FB Connect......

I think all you need to do is provide a link with the image file to http://www.your.domain.com/facebook.php

Thanks.

I have 1 other problem, when a user registers with the facebook bridge, it sets their birthdate to January 1st, 1970 by default, instead of pulling their birthday info from facebook, or leaving it blank so they can edit it themselves later, any way of fixing this? I require birthdate on registration so users, unfortunately can't edit it after they've completed registration, so is there any way to fix this for the facebook bridge?

Does not work with Windows on the server ?

Works fine on a Windows Server

excellent mod mr.paint, but for some reason.. everytime I try connecting to facebook on IE 7+8.. the mini pop-up login box keeps refreshing and never give you the chance to type in your password..

ALL other browser works flawlessly.. so cheer on that :]

I have this problem. If I click on "connect with facebook" i see

"Forbidden

i just receive an email from facebook
Please help us on this? What we need to do?

Got the same one - went back to fbconnect but had issues with it as well.

anyone has got this working on version 3.8.4 as i cant make it work it says i need to connect to facebook or smth like that and it doesnt pull my information from fcb.

Hi everyone, this add-on has been updated to work with Facebook OAuth 2.0. Please update your installation if you are using it (you probably received an email about this from Facebook).

I am installing this and I hope it works. I will post once I am done. Thank you for your efforts.

I installed everything like in installation file. I got my key and secret. I logged out of my forum then clicked "connect with facebook". I was asked to agree to the app requiring permission to my info. on FB. I agreed. Then was taken back to my forum and saw this:
=======
In order to be able to post messages on the forums, you must first register.
Please enter your desired user name, your email address and other required details in the form below.
========
So does this mean it's not working yet? Or is this normal? If it's normal and I have to register still on the forum, then what's the use of connecting with face book then?

The form is there to let you choose a username. The email and password fields are all optional (the form states that clearly at the top).

Ok. So I tried my name but it said name already in use. Then I tried a different name and left the "optional" stuff out, I got this message:

The email address you entered is already in use. If you have forgotten your password, please click here

and I left the email field blank so how is it that the email is already in use??
I don't get this..

If you let the email empty, it will use your Facebook email.
Anyway, as you already have an account, you should associate it instead of registering. Go to profile.php?do=fbb then associate your account. You will find the link in the left sidebar in UserCP too.

I will do that tomorrow.It's 4.30 AM here :) But I think it's working ok. Just need to do some tweaking (on my part not yours) your mod installed easily and nicely. Missing the share with facebook button though. It should be here:

<img src="images/impact/buttons/share_facebook.gif" alt="Share with Facebook" title="Share with Facebook" border="0">

The package contains the button but for default style only. You will need to manually copy that to your style buttons folder. The default one is images/buttons/share_facebook.gif. Glad it works for you. Cheers :D

Hi..so where do I do this association? I went to face book and couldn't find it. In account settings there is "linked accounts" is that what you mean? Can u help in more details please?

When using this mod, and after I accept the app's permissions on face book, I get back to my forum, it won't let me connect with my face book name. I have to use any other name and email but once I am in and want to share a post, it is shared in my original face book name..I am kind of confused.

Sorry..got it..and works perfectly..I had to do this on my forum. So far so good. :)

Hi, I am on 3.8.5 and when I log out of the forum and then click on the Connect With Facebook button all it does is take me to the forums page. It doesn't open any type of registration page.

One thing I have noticed so far..if I am connected with face book, why isn't my face book profile pic showing inside the forum? Is there a solution for this that you know of?

Have you ever used this before? Have you used the Facebook app anywhere else before? What is the link of the button?

Because YAFB does't synchronize avatars

Yes I did have a previous version of your mod installed, but uninstalled it a while ago, I have just reinstalled it today.

The link on the button goes to your facebook.php file.

This is a fantastic mod that opens up a host of opportunities for vBulletin communities, 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 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!

What's exactly the url to the facebook.php file? Also, because you installed it before, probably you reused the Facebook app? If it's the case, you probably have authenticated your account before so Facebook will just redirect you back to vBulletin. And because you installed it before, probably the info is still in the database so YAFB logs you in. Is that the case? Important question: when you get back to forums, were you logged in or not?

1) Yeah, that's a valid point except for the fact that I updated this to keep it working with new Facebook policy.
2) You can register with a password or you can change password later.
3) What are you talking about? The email address is in vBulletin, you can mass email without any problem (but I don't recommend that). Also, you can mass PM just fine, have you tried it at all?
4) There is no fblogin.php in YAFB

Final words: what the hell are you talking about?

Just installed but have one issue.

When I go to UserCP and click Facebook Bridge options, there is nothing there but the save options button.

???

Screenshot please?

I got it now!

So when a new user registers, their email will be viewable in vB AdminCP?
