If you're still interested in feature requests, here's a BIG one:

Make it include Google+ and Twitter, too. A universal social sharing mod. You'd need to let admins decide which social sites to include, of course.

Maybe a bit of a big jump - but you asked for feature requests, and it occurred to me. :)

This s a mod to connect Facebook, no other social networks. If mtbikemike manage to repair the bugs will be a great mod.

1: Getting blank page after allowing permission for app @ /forum/fblogin.php
2: blank page @ FB Connect Options > News-Feed Templates

Using (vBulletin 3.8.7 Patch Level 2)

He asked, so I answered.

What browser are you using? I found a bug yesterday in IE where FB would redirect to channel.html. Blank page sometimes means a php error, but the php.ini defines display_errors = off. Can you check your server's error logs?


News-Feed Templates?? This was an option in sllik's version of FB Connect -- probably 2.0.5. I removed it in 3.0.

I've dabbled a bit with posting to twitter. It can be done via their javascript API. I'm gonna focus on getting this solid first, then we'll start adding features.

One neat idea would be to offer OAuth 2.0 connect through any major site. Like how some sites can let you log in with your yahoo, google, facebook or twitter account.

But this is probably waaaay down the line from now.

Just released 3.0.5. Fixes some issues with guest sessions.

I'm seeing random errors caused by the $vbulletin->options['fbconnect_showfbavatar'] variable not being set correctly in the fbconnect_init template when it's called from the STANDARD_ERROR template and not the normal footer template. This seems to happen randomly. Still trying to track it down.

if you see weirdness with your FB avatar, remove this code in the fbconnect_init template:

And replace with:
Or if you don't want to show the FB avatar, just leave the above code out.

Also, added some flowcharts to help document how FB and vB sessions interact.

Please test it out and let me know if you see any issues. I'm thinking of setting up two instances of vbulletin on my hosting service for demo purposes. One instance on 3.8.7 PL2 and another on 3.5.0 (or maybe some other popular version).

Does anyone know of a vBulletin version distribution graph which shows how many installs each version of vBulletin has?

Blank page after login from facebook : S

is it trying to go to channel.html? I noticed this happening in IE, but I wrote a fix for it.

when I accepted the permissions on the popup from facebook goes blank page, in my case tested with IE and Opera.

Does this capture or ask the user to enter their email address?

captures their email address via a backend facebook API call. In other words, the user logs into their FB account, FB sends an auth token back to the plugin code, the plugin makes a secure request to FB for the user's email address then saves it to the db.

Can I install 3.05 with a simple import of the xml? The manual template changes from 3.03 are all still in place.

Thanks

Do you have a working demo? The car review integration didn't work for me.

The .php files should be the same. You might want to double check the showthread, newreply, newpost template HTML ... compare with what is in install.html.

Unfortunately, you've removed 3.03 and I didn't keep it, so I can't compare the two install.htmls.

I did just try an xml import of 3.05, but I'm still getting that top-half button/avatar display issue.

That's most likely a javascript error. What browser are you using? Can you check to see if you're getting js errors?

Blank page after login:
mydomain.com/fblogin.php?url=index.php = blank page
Any idea? :confused:

Chrome and IE both have the same effect.

How would I check for js errors?

I am reading the install instruction, create a fb app and : " Generate an authorization token". When the app is created I can see the APP ID and secret, but I don't see any token. How can I generate the token?

I have heard that after oct 1, secure ssl is needed for fb app. If I use this app, does it mean the vbulletin forum has to be hosted with ssl?
Thanks.

Auth token is old wording. You just need an app id and secret.

Yep, it'll still work according to this page...

blank page when trying to connect to facebook: myforum.com/fblogin.php?url=index.php
Why? :confused:

I checked your link, it looks like we have to buy the ssl? So with vbulletin and this mod, do we have to buy ssl?

Also from your install instruction, I was not sure how to provide the canvas and secure or non-secure URL, can you give an example?

Thanks.

Could you post a screen shot of the admincp settings?
Is it possible to turn off automatic friending?

The login does not work on your site. It doesn't seem to load the js

that sites facebook login dont work for me in IE and FF. till then tagged for now thanks.

Doesn't even work on your demo site. Why should anyone install this?

forums.carreview.com is not my site. The site manager installed some twitter code which broke the FB plugin.

javascript code snippets often don't play nicely with each other. When you have twitter, FB, google analytics, adsense, crazyegg, quantcast, the YUI library and jquery all on one site, you're asking for trouble.

Site should be working now.

The style I am using has the login form moved to the header Template. I moved the

<!-- fbconnect -->
$fbconnect_init
<!-- / fbconnect -->

to the header template, but no matter where I put it - nothing ever shows.

Works in the Default Template (but that's no fun.) Any ideas?

probably because the header template is compiled before the nav template. maybe change the "Init Templates and FB Session" plugin hook location from "parse_templates" to "global_start".

Tried that, no change. Is it possible to use a more standard FB connect image?

fixed it - plugin forgot the api keys :P Thanks for a great mod. Would like to use a more standard FB Connect image - what's a good way to do that and keep the avatar once signed-in?

glad it's working for you. Not sure what you're looking for. Maybe post a screen shot of what you had in mind?

care to show a demo?

Thanks for the mod! So far is working OK for me, but there is one minor issue. On newreply and viewthread the button and facebook avatar show at the same time. See attached image.

Any ideas how can I fix this??

most likely javascript gone bad on that page. chrome has a good javascript console that can point you in the direction where the error is occurring.

Is it possible instead of showing tdFBNotConnected and tdFBNotConnected by default and then hide one of them, to make them hidden and then display the right one?

Hello,

Great add-on! But we’re having a few troubles using it:

I created a “Test User” account and attempted to log in with a few different Facebook profiles. Surprisingly, regardless of whatever Facebook profile we attempt to log in with, it opens up the same “Test User” account on vBulletin. I have cleared the cache, cookies and tried with several different browsers but this issue still remains and this is happening with ALL the users whoever log in with Facebook connect. However, if I connect admin account with face book, it works perfectly well.

Apart of this problem, I would also like to bring into attention that welcome PM / E-Mail is not being received upon registering with this Facebook connect hack. And the time zone is showing as London where as ours is a different country. So how to change that?

Help on the above issues will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.


We're having this issue as well.

Very nice plugin! I had to install the PECL json extension on my server before things worked, but after that, the installation process was very easy.

I would recommend considering using a different icon for the button area though - maybe the same one that vb4 has?

when a new user sign in, the new user can post using admin as a user to post, I kind of think this is a security problem, I have 3.8.5

Any news about vbseo fix?
