Essentially from what I gather.

User logs out of your forum.

Logs into Facebook, then can fire up the forum, and on logging in will be asked if they want to sync with facebook.. kinda weird explanation, but AFAIK thats how it integrates.

They have the option, as an existing user, to fire up the forum under their existing username and pass.

Now that they have facebook & your forum in sync, when a post or message is sent via the forum it displays in their facebook profile, etc.

The bonus is that users on facebook, who are friends of your member as a facebook user, then have the opportunity to join your forum, and vice versa.

As I have never used facebook, im not sure how the protocol works with permissions and privacy, but am sure that its all good.

I do have some basic function, queries, such as "ignoring a user on facebook" does this transfer to your forum too?

Anyhoo.. will await a fix for the new-user login stuff from the coder.



Reply to the guy: clear IE files? pmsl... im not sure what use that has for preventing database crash due to inadequate login bridge

How are you finding , new users signing in to your forum, via facebook. and bypassing signup process for VB ?

That is where we are failing

I only have one mandatory signup requirement and that's a custom field, so they'll be prompted to fill that in as soon as they log in.

Do you have birthdays required in your vB Options? If so, they will be required to fill that in the next time they try to edit their profile.

i give up. anyone want to check for me on their end? http://www.sirenssociety.com.

i was the second or third person to install this when sllik first published it, and it worked. but ever since he bridged it for existing users, i get nothing. nada. zilch.

i've cleared my history and cache. whenever i click on the facebookconnect, nothing happens. both in IE and FF.

i've also uninstalled it and reverted the templates. and i reinstalled it. twice.

any clues?

Open up your forum for guest so they can view the forumhome, then try to login. then standard login page may be missing the footer code.

wow thanks for this i love this mod

with the new version I put (1.1.3) it does not hang anymore at the login redirect page,
neither it logs me in though.
it goes until the login redirector and afterwards i am still not logged in :-|

Is anyone else noticing that they're getting notifications in facebook for every new post whether they're subscribed to it or not?

maybe turn this off?

New Own Thread Reply Notification
Send a Facebook notification to the user when there is a new reply to own thread?

also something else that was brought up as a concern is how does this work when you do a mass email? we only send out one or maybe 2 mass emails a year but we would like to be able to still do that and not sure how facebook would like that since this is storing the facebook proxy email.

also related to my above feature suggestion.... when/if you get the personal data part working i would also like to see some sort of cron job setup where it resyncs the data every so often just because in general people update their facebook info more than any forum system ive ever seen and it would be nice to pull that data down when its updated.
