Helllo,

We are having a few issues here - we are using the template "Bingo"

and in the navbar, the code

Isnt there!

However, looking in the header

This is there

Ive tried to put the FB Connect login script, in there - but of course, I get the loading bar, spinning around and around.

Suggestions?

I did install.

That wasn't too hard. Awesome working!

Update: Got it working! Was a little fiddly - but other than that it's working nicely! Well done!

I just wanted to take a second and thank wolfstream. After I paid to have this mod added I didn't hear from anyone for over a week. At that time wolfstream generously offered to install the mod for me at no charge. Before he was able to install it, the original coder had it installed. If I ever need help with any more installations, wolfstream will be the first I ask, and I highly recommend him.

Thanks again for the offer.

Facebook Connect staff:
We've had this on our site, www.stangsofsouthflorida.com/forum for quite sometime and has worked perfectly. Recently users are complaining that the request to post message pops up every time now. There is no option to shut it off, accept just once. Did something change of Facebook... I only work on this forum occasionally as it is pretty basic and runs itself. I have made no updated or changes to the forum software.


Btw the author installed on our system too, great guy to work with, appreciated the help, worth the cost.

I added this to another forum and when users post articles on Facebook, it's only linking to the forum that thread is in. Has this happen to others?

thx, great mod!

Post the link to the application on your forums, tell your users to use that . The application link will be something like http://apps.facebook.com/appnamehere

He takes a while to get to you. At least the developer is responding (albeit slowly)

Don't use the advanced editor, use the standard editor. There are a number of problems with the advanced editor, not just with this application, but with many others.

You've done something wrong in the settings. Double, even triple check your work, because you're missing a crucial point in the development process.

This is actually how the app is designed to work for new threads. Why? Because the thread doesn't HAVE an id yet, so an ID can't be submitted to facebook for the user to view. When a reply is made, the link to 'view the thread' should work properly

This is the feature that prevents me from adding Facebook integration to my forum. This mod would be more useful (read as less obtrusive) as a checkbox on the post entry form instead of the popup dialog after each post.

This was a change in fb connect, not this application.

ah, seems logical
I did notice the link worked for the next reply.. ok :)
I wish this was in place as well :(

after i input a username on the page, and click next, the page is still loading a blank page, error 500....what issue could i be having ??

Whatever the hack is trying to do in that query, is filling up my 'tmp' directory.
I changed from 1gb to 2gb, still the issue is happening.
This is happening since the very moment I installed the hack.
Errcode 28 - device full, the 'tmp' is getting full
Im running php5.2.5, I was running Mysql 5.08, then I upgrade yesterday to 5.1.32, the one recommneded by vbulletin, to see if the problem goes away, no luck.


I then disabled the extact data from facebook option, problem is gone!

Me too, I would like to know how to fix, this is a great mod!

so is there no fix for my issue? no support on this mod and it gets motm?

brillent customization. Marked as installed.

i tried to import the product but it always showing me invalid file specified

any idea how to solve it

I recently changed my domain name and now i get the blinking three bars. How do I go in and correct? I'm assuming it's related to the change.

Any news on this!

I want to take out my facebook account from my user forum account, how i do this?

please let me know as well ... also, is there any option to allow registrations only from register.php
is there a way that the proper e-mail address of the user will be captured when he signs up from the facebook connect option ?

i cant get this to work 100%. ill have to uninstall untill this gets more supported.

I have too, shame really.....

I just installed this the other day and didn't have any problems, try downloading the zip again
I would think you need to change the info with the facebook application you made, the callback url would need changed
This works fine for me, you can always pay the dev the 20$ to install it ;)

Issue STILL pending geez. I have now 8 board owners with this issue.

Perfect example of issue: http://www.bluechipearth.com/showthread.php?t=203

Rest of the site works except showthread: http://www.bluechipearth.com

What is the solution for PhotoPost? Is there one now?

Thanks

This mod really shouldn't be MoD since it's broken and not supported.

Its not broken though. Most of the people posting issues aren't posting issues with the the mod but issues with their server setup (For example hydn's issue).

Its not the mod makers job to configure peoples servers for them now is it

I don't know how wise it would be to allow members to log in without going through registration. It opens the door for spam to get in.....

I've emailed the developer several times. He was very prompt in responding! He helped me with all my issues!

Maybe. But if it increases your activity because people see the links in FB statuses, or you get more active uses, then it is worth it.

Great Plugin! Thank you

It's NOT broken though, and it certainly IS supported.
Does the mod work? Yes
Is it supported by the author? Privately, yes. Publicly, no.
Is it supported by the commmunity? I have provided countless hours of 'free' support myself, as have others. This makes it supported

Just hopping in to say that this is the greatest vbulletin modification I've ever used. Thank you so much for this.

Questions:

1) Currently, it works perfectly whenever I new user signs up via the "Connect with Facebook" button. The problem is whenever I connect my EXISTING account to my Facebook account, I no longer receive the option to publish stuff to my Facebook wall when creating a thread, etc.
Nevermind Fixed - just make sure your current user used the "Connect with Facebook" button - not just the vbulletin login.

2) Is there any way to change the "Connect with Facebook" button image (I want to make it smaller).

Sllik for president of vbulletin.org, 2009! Seriously, awesome mod bro. You have a fanboy.

Edit:
wolfstream, props to you for all the crap you are dealing with in this thread, along with your unwarranted support.

do i have to get the application published before the application will work on my site? Right now their is a button below the user name/password on my forum for "connect with facebook." When I click that button nothing happens.

Uploaded all the files, double checked all my install and template editing. Never dealt with a facebook application and the installation instructions don't mention anything about how to get this thing to work after step 7.

thanks,

does anyone know how to turn off that popup that gets displayed after every post thats made? It asks if you want to publish it on facebook. I want it to do that automatically without asking the users...

Did you read the original post?

"If nothing happens when you click the Facebook Connect button make sure your callback url domain is the same as you forum domain (the one set in your forum settings) - more specifically make sure that there is a www (or isn't) in both domains."

Also, I had the same problem as you. It turned out it was just users entering both www. and http://

I would suggest creating a .htaccess file rewrite rule so that no matter what - your domain will be either http://domain.com or include the www.
Choose one and stick with it.

I think everyone expects the creator or current developer to support it. It really should be listed as non-supported.

Aren't all the nonsupported mods supported by the community?

Thanks for your help with the current mod. But it would be nice if someone took total ownership and responsibility for it. Vbulletin.org is getting very bad with mod developers not "supporting" the products they claim to.

It leads to mass confusion and negative issues...

JUST becausse someone doesn't login here to support their mod doesn't mean they don't support it. Now I can't say for certain whether or not they support via email, but I have been told by individuals they got support from the author (as I was preparing to install it for them).

Not necessarily. VB.org is getting very bad with developers not releasing stable code, YES, but I see no issues in this thread that can not be resolved by understanding and reading requirements. The mod doesn't need support, if you follow instructions provided.

What leads to mass confusion is individuals coming in and claiming "this doesn't work" when it does, or not following instructions. IF you follow the instructions, it will work as expected

Current version can't be done. In future versions, maybe the author will allow it, BUT this will cross a very, very fine line with Facebook's privacy setup, and run the risk of getting your app and account banned. You do NOT want notifications automatically sent, otherwise, you will end up being flagged as a 'spammer', which facebook frowns upon (moreso than the other)

Will the author return to support their hack? Maybe someday. Until then, your best response is to email them, and make sure to remember what you paid for this hack (absolutely nothing). As a developer, there is nothing more annoying than someone constantly nagging and annnoying me about a free release, or demanding support for such release. Remember, you pay nothing, you are guaranteed nothing for support. You pay for support, you are guaranteed it.

Hmmm....
Maybe a frequently asked questions link.

You are right. But as far as I catch the philosophy here, it?s pretty unusual to label a hack as "supported" and leave it alone for a long time.
I?m no coder and I?m trying my best to obey all instructions of installing and using addons severely and thoroughly and I learned a lot. But for me as a non-programmer it is misleading, if I recognize a hack as "supported", install it and stick to be left alone.
If you are saying, private support is given and public one not, I can?t understand the difference in provding the energy of support. Many private questions would be superfluous, if one could read the public answer right before. I for myself don?t want to overwork the answering-capacities of a coder by asking him questions privately.
I do respect for sure, that any thinkable life-event can prevent a coder from giving (public) support and I am grateful for all efforts at this awesome place, but what is the problem to set this very mod to "unsupported"? Or to create a new category "privately supported"?
