This is precisely what this mod does. I'm not sure why people don't understand that.

Well then i might just have to install it!

:)

Can someone show me a link to a forum that already users it? I'd like to give it a shot before i install it.

I haven't upgraded mine yet, but you can try it in the first website link in my signature.

Thanks!
I like it!

Thanks for the quick reply mate!
Can you please provide me with some more info regarding that.

Once the vB account is merged with facebook account then the user has the option to choose what the display name on the forum will be? In case the nickname in the vb forum is different from the facebook name. Also I am guessing the facebook profile pic will be imported as an avatar to vb forum, if the user wants can have different pic in vb forum instead of the facebook profile pic? Thanks in advanced.

This would be nice if it added the template edits automatically :D

I have a small problem.

I setup the whole thing successfully but I have the following issue.

My forum path in vbulletin settings is http://mysite.com/forum without the www.
I setup the facebook application with the callback URL to be the same as the vbulletin http://mysite.com/forum

Now if somebody access my site by typing http://mysite.com or just mysite.com (without the www.) the facebook connect plugin works flawlessly!

But if you access the website using the www prefix like http://www.mysite.com or just www.mysite.com then the facebook connect is not working. So most of the people that enter my site and using the www. prefix cannot use facebook connect.

I tried change the forum path in vbulletin settings by adding the www. prefix and updated the facebook application callback URL with the www. prefix and I am getting the exact opposite results.

Now when you enter the site with the www prefix like http://www.mysite.com you can use the facebook connect. But if you enter it without the www like http://mysite.com then facebook connect once again is not working.

Any idea how I can make it work with both the www. prefix and without?

Is this a known issue?

use a htaccess redirect and pick either www or non www and stick with just that one redirecting all traffic from the one to the other.

its also good for SEO to redirect all non www to www or vice versa

You mean to manyally edit the .htaccess file?

Works fine now. Thanks guys. Great Mod.

OK I edit the htaccess and everything works great now!! :up::up:

One last question.

When you post something on forum the notification on faceboook wall includes the sententes visit MySite. And redirects to mysite.com/forum

How can I made this redirect to mysite.com

basically add this

if you already have rewriting on then you may already have the

in which case just add on the end of whatever is in there

I think there is actually a better way than editing the .htaccess file. In the facebook app settings under the Connect tab set the Base Domain setting.

I'm very excited to have found this mod, and hope to install it. A couple of questions first:

1 - is there any known conflict with the vbulletin/wordpress bridge mod? We use this so that our forum members can also comment on the wordpress-driven portion of the site, etc. The mod basically shares VB users as WP users.

2 - just to make sure I'm understanding ... we require registration (which includes email activation) to create new threads or respond to threads. If someone comes along and logs in w/ their FaceBook account - will they be able to post immediately, or will the email activation go to them (or I assume, their FaceBook email account?)

Thanks in advance - will likely pay to have this installed if the answers are favorable.

Is this working on 3.8?

BellyBelly -
I've seen reports that it *IS* working.

OK - I've installed it now on http://www.theworshipcommunity.com/forums/

However,
When I attempt to view the application on FaceBook, it gives me this on this link:
http://apps.facebook.com/theworshipcommunity/

There are still a few kinks Facebook and the makers of TheWorshipCommunity.Com are trying to iron out. We appreciate your patience as we try to fix these issues. Your problem has been logged - if it persists, please come back in a few days. Thanks!

Hi Slikk,

This is working great on my site. Thanks for helping with the install. Three questions

1. I have a vb login on the homepage of my site (non-vb page). Is there any way I can have Facebook Connect on this login page?

2. I don't have the vbconnect link like you have in the fourth screenshot. Is that an omission?

3. How can I re-associate a user an existing user with a different facebook account if its already associated with another.

Does this work with 3.8 ?

Woc

yes it is working just fine with 3.8

Does it stop them from using a nick that is already in use as a registered name?

Yes it does

Thanks for the reply, I might try this tommorow

Woc

Thanks. That's the last thing I needed to know and I didn't want to run through the whole thread for it...

:D

How? They'll want to know how to associate their facebook with their existing account.

Also, does this work with promotions?

I have them set to come in as Registered Users, they are a bit limited until they get past 15 posts, then they are promoted. Will the promotions work?

Well that was easier than I thought. It was rather self-explanatory...

Working well, click "install"...

:up:

can some one help me with mine im getting this error

thanks for your replies

I get when i try and go to the templates. How can i fix this?

im using Facebook Pro template and i cant make the next steps because i dont have this templates:

Template: navbar (the code isnt here!)
Find:
<!-- / login form -->

Insert After:
<!-- fbconnect -->
<center>
<span class="fbconnect" style="height:21px">
<img src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/images/loaders/indicator_white_small.gif" alt="Connect with Facebook" />
</span>
</center>
<!-- / fbconnect -->


AND

Template: USERCP_SHELL
Find:
<tr><td class="$navclass[password]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editpassword">$vbphrase[edit_email_and_password]</a></td></tr>

Replace With:
<if condition="$bbuserinfo[fbemail]">
<tr><td class="$navclass[password]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="#" onclick="facebook_prompt_permission('email'); return false;">$vbphrase[fbconnect_email_settings]</a></td></tr>
<else />
<tr><td class="$navclass[password]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editpassword">$vbphrase[edit_email_and_password]</a></td></tr>
</if>


anyway when i didnt edited this and i continued the install process i had BIG scrolling issue (Explorer) at the bottom.. u can see it here: http://www.freepchelp.co.il

I have the same error as this person, but i am using 5.2.8 of PHP.

just do a template search for the code and it will be there its not a problem if its in a differant template file like header it will still work :D

i edited the default template instead of the "Facebook Pro" template.

1. I still have the scrolling error.
2. I cant login with my facebook account.

Thanks for the reply, as I already said I fix the problem.

I ended up editing the .htaccess file.
I decided to redirect all the non-www addreses to www. So in the .htaccess file located in the root of my site I added the following

That redirected all non-www addresses to www.

All exept one! mysite.com/forum was still directing to the non-www address. This was happening because I had vbSEO installed. So note that if you have vbSEO you have to edit both .htaccess files. The one located in the main root and the second one located inside the forum directory.

So I solve this by editing the .htaccess file within the forum directory as well.
In the very top I added the following code:
Now everything works smoothly :) :up: :p

I tried this, with no luck at all... But my problem was solved as I describing above.

Hello,

I am running PHP 5.2.5

Will this work with VB3.8 and MySQL Version 4.1.20-log ? :o

Hope so :D

Thanks

Hi,

does this Plugin only works with allow_url_fopen = on?!

Regards,

Tobi

Does this work with the promotions? If I have them come in as a Registered user then promote them later to Verified user will it work normally?

Can you enable the multi-invite system from facebook like the facebook applications?. This will enhace and improve the registration ratio in our forums.

Is there a way to actually get the pop up back after you choose it to not show up on a new reply?

I would like a way to have the option of publishing new threads, but not every post. I declined to publish a new post, clicked "Always do this for..." and now I can't get it back at all.

Any suggestions? Is this right in front of my face? lol

yes

unfortunately there is no way to bring the popup back after the user chose to never post news-feeds but if you set New Reply Feed Template ID to 0 the user won't be prompted for a new reply.

1. not sure, try and see :) I think it should be fine.
2. the mod assumes that the user has a valid email since the user confirmed his/her email when they registered for a facebook account.

sent you a PM

let me know how it goes :)
