Well this is what isn't working.

My source code gives this:
But this code is not generating anything when the page renders.

I just noticed that the mod doesn't index user.fbuid field. I would suggest indexing all fields that are used for searching as it has significant performance impact.

The FB developer link is expired. The new link is http://www.facebook.com/developers/#.../createapp.php

I seem to have an issue with the following variable being empty:

$vbulletin->fbb['runtime']['footer']

Not sure why it is returning an empty value for ONLY some of my sites.

Do they all run the same style? There's a necessary template hook that might be missing on some?

I found the problem but do not know how to fix it.

Process Template Complete is looking for the hook "process_templates_complete". In vBulletin 3.8.4 and 3.8.5, that plugin hook does not exist. Which means it is not getting to the code that process the footer JS.

Or should that hook exists in 3.8.4 and 3.8.5, and I have something wrong with my install?

Mr. Paint...

I have the same question as the precious user...

is there a way to invite more then the limit of 4 People to your site using your FB Invite functionality in the or under the Options area....

By the way I feel I need to say it again,

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

For fixing my issues I was having last week! You not only told me how to do it you showed me exactly what to do and did it!!!

Absolutely Amazing!

Your Support and time you are spending on this project is outstanding!!!

Thanks,

Is it safe to update to 3.3 at this moment?

I noticed there were a few people saying they got errors...

I am sure they were minor I Just wanted to validate if we should update now or wait a bit?

I'd say no. In just the few posts since it was released, there are obvious problems. In fact, it doesn't even work on the demo 3.8.x site.

vb 4.3 has facebook connect now.

how will that effect this mod

what if someone uses this mod to join or vice versa?

im currently using this mod but wouldn't mind taking advantage of the native fb connect.

but im guessing i can't have both on at the same time cause things will get confusing.

Read back a few pages.

im guessing ur speaking of the above post.

not sure if i should upgrade to 3.3 and not sure if i should turn on the native fb connect for vb.

sigh

curiosity was eating me up

you can't run both at the same time. well i couldn't.

i got the following error
so i just turned off vb's fb connect.

huh?

can someone provide an example and explain what this does.

i have an idea but want to be sure.

this part stretches past my page's border

Thanks for the reply I will be looking forward to Mr. Paint's answer on this...

I am sure they were small bugs and he is definitely on top of the game when it comes to updates, I just wanted to make sure we are an all go!

Thanks again

I'd say - read the entire thread. There have been people having issues with it forever.. because they didn't read the instructions, or had customized styles from long ago that missed the important hooks.

On the other hand, there are MANY people (like me) who have had very few issues whatsoever, and love this mod utterly.

There is a definite problem with 3.8. One of the hook location (process_thread_complete) does not exist. Therefore the Javascript does not load into the footer.

This is nothing to do with not following instructions, a plugin is built on a non-existent hook, that hook only exists in 4.0 onwards.

I tried to make it work by plugging it into global_start but although the JS loads, it still throws up JS errors.

KALL, you are definitely incorrect. We just need to find a new hook location to replace process_template_complete and apparently process_thread_complete.

I am going to attempt o just paste the JS in the footer and see if that fixes some of my problems in 3.8.4 and 3.8.5

That doesn't work because it needs to use TIMENOW.

You can get round that by setting a variable, but there is other code in that plugin that needs to run.

In the 3.8 and 4.x versions I am looking at, the footer code is executed at global_complete.

Further, I'm unable to find reference to process_thread_complete in the .xml or the few php files in /fbb I have tried. Where are you seeing it?

My apologies, I meant process_template_complete. That's the one that's required, but is missing.

Damn you Mark.B!!! *shakes fist at wasted time searching* :)

AND! You mean process_templates_complete! :p

Anyway, it's weird. It works for me.. I think.

kall, that forum you linked does not work.

When I click on the Facebook link at the top, I get a JS error and it goes to the facebook.php page with no Facebook Connect button.

I have it "working". I disabled the process_templates_complete plugin hook and added the following code to the common footer template at the bottom:

The reason I had to working on some of my forums is because I have a fan page badge on the page. So sites without the fan page badge would throw the JS error. The above is work around until we can use another hook to output the above JS.

So now that Vbulletin.com has released version 4.0.3 which has the Facebook Connect:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/entry...cebook-Connect

What are some of the functionality differences with this mod?
By the way, I just installed your mod last night on my dev forum and it worked great, but then vb released this version so I'm deciding which way to go.

I'd say - do likewise. I stated very clearly that I had read the entire thread. The issues that I'm seeing with the latest release are very real, obviously. No, I would not have recommended that anyone install the latest version on a 3.x site, since obviously it wasn't working.

I'm off to try robdawg's workaround.

Soz. I'm a bit rubbish. Don't ever hire me as a coder!

Robdawg's workaround seems to be working on the one site that I've tried. Thanks!

Adding this feature into 4.0.3 will effectively kill this plugin and all others like it except for 3.8 users. However, with it integrated into 4.0, I will be giving some SERIOUS thought to upgrade to 4.0 as soon as I feel it is stable.

That's sort of where I'm at. One of my sites would be an easy upgrade. The other? Not so much.

Hi, I have installed this hack and followed all the steps succesfully, but I can't see the "Connect with Facebook" in user panel, I just can see:

"You haven't established connection to any Facebook Account. Please click the "Connect with Facebook" button and grant Facebook's permission. After seeing your name and avatar, please click "Guardar Cambios" to complete the connecting procedure... "

And the button doesn't appear. Hope you can help me. Thanks.

EDIT: I'm using VB 3.8.x

Read up a few posts, and look for robdawg's workaround. That seems to be working for me on two 3.x sites.

It's correct that I put the footer code into process_templates_complete. That code originally was from global_start. In an effort of organizing template related code, I moved it and it stops working in vBulletin 3. My fault. Sorry mates :D

Going to release new version to fix this soon

PS: Also, the workaround really miss the point of mine because I tried to skip loading Facebook Javascript library as much as possible :D

Hey,

I get this error when trying to send a notification
Also, no one has mentioned yet on how i can move the Connect with facebook button under the login box besides being in the navbar

After installing the workaround and getting the bridge operational, it appears that a number of avatars have simply vanished from one of my sites. That's with the avatar sync turned off (the available sizes down match my requirements, and honestly, the sync wouldn't make sense for my userbase). So, not sure what's up with that. Not even sure if it's related, but I figured I'd mention it, since that problem occurred within an hour of the first account sync.

hmm all of the other features are fine on our site. Its just that we cannot send notifications without getting that error. Like today our site had a login probelm and i was going to send out a notification saying that we was working on it but i got that error. We would love to get it fixed if possible. Plus we kinda hate where the connect with facebook button is located and we would like to move it

vbulletin 4.0.3 has built in facebook connect but dont have much feature yet

Yeah i checked into that and i find this system to be way more better than theres. On theres you cant even do wall posts etc.

Any luck with this?

Will members who have created a account using YAFB be able to login/keep this existing account if they used the new default vBulletin Facebook bridge?

I haven't noticed anything else yet, but I'm getting a few errors in the log. Is there a decoder ring for the errors so that I can tell what they refer to?

As far as moving the facebook button, that shouldn't be too tough. On my main site, moving it will have nothing to do with other sites, since we completely reworked the header and navbar. However, on my other site, that stuff is pretty default, so unless someone beats me to it, I'll be able to at least provide a basic hacked way of moving it.

I am to Lazy too remove this one, I would let it go and ignore built-in thing until it comes better than this
