Bump :(

This is brilliant just for the sheer fact of instant registration through Facebook. Holy moly...great mod! I'm not using the news feeder stuff (my users would be annoyed by it, methinks), and it's installed and working great, so good show!

Hope you guys work out your problems...

Thanks, working great in my forum

This is a fantastic mod, however after brutally testing it over the last 24 hours, I have major issues with its neat compatibility with vBulletin. If anyone can help or discuss these I'd be grateful. These are:

1) Changes to Facebook or vBulletin in the future may render this mod incompatible, relying then on support from the developer to bring this mod back in line; if hundreds of administrators are relying on support from a sole developer who decides they are no longer bothered to upgrade for future facebook/vBulletin releases, this will have huge implications for incorrect login functions for potentially millions of registered members across the vBulletin communities.

2) Facebook partially holds registration details of members, eg. email addresses and passwords. If this mod was ever ditched, I could in theory have thousands of members unable to log in to my forum unless each account was manually altered in admincp. Registered members are unable to do this themselves as changes to email addys or passwords would not be possible as vBulletin would not recognise their original/old details. A logistical nightmare for administrators of large vB communities.

3) It appears that facebook Connect users cannot be contacted via mass email or mass PM add-ons as such users are not found within the database. This effectively renders the use of these important functions useless in the long-term. Especially important should the need arise above where they must take action to continue to log in to the messageboard.

4) I would like to see fblogin.php altered to accept Connect for exisiting vBulletin members only, or tweaked to go via a vB registration process where an vB email address and password can be added. The problems 1-3 above wouldn't exist if this was an alternative installation.

Apart from those important issues the mod is perfect!

This is my main issue with this mod. I have asked the question but had no awnser :( Even just adding a redirect to a page where email and password must be entered would help.

I am afraid until these issues are addressed I can see admins using this mod having big issues in the future.

Hmm...very...very good point that I hadn't thought of. Ouchies...

Ditto.

Ive got this set up on my test site and its working like a dream, however im now having second thoughts due to what appears the developers lack of time/interest.

All it takes is a facebook update and this mod could be useless, leaving members unable to log into the forums.

Hi - are you able to ban Facebook Connect users from your bulletin board if they spam?

Thanks!

Hi, I've just installed and edited all the necessary templates as it has said in the install guide, but when I click connect to facebook button underneath login it doesn't pop up with the facebook login box, it links to http://www.club-gamer.com/# Any Help with this would be appreciated thank you.

Double check your facebook app settings. The addon states that you shouldn't use www.domain.com for both settings, but it should be done. I had this problem with the domain settings in the facebook app stuff myself.

Basically, make sure that the app settings (on facebook) point properly. That should solve that.
