Yeah, the future for this mod is looking pretty damn grim unless someone actually comes in and provides support for it.

The idea is good, but the implementation of it is just pathetic.

This should, in fact be changed to not supported, since the author doesn't wish to provide a bit of support, either here, or on their own forums.

Alright, I've messed with getting this to work right for the last three days now, and I'm constantly running into problems, too many to list. I consider myself a decent troubleshooter / coder, but there's no way I would spend anymore time on this product until it's garaunteed to work. I've been through 17 pages of pleas for assistance, and support I've seen is next to nil, that stated, I'm off to look for something else.

Good luck on this mod, the idea is great and would be one of those mods that every board must have if it were implemented with proper project management in mind. If it would only work as advertised people would use it ... and so would I.

What bugs me is that all of our bug reports and fixes were just ignored. You got a community here backing you up....use it.

At least it is marked as reusable code.

Uninstalled. this mod is not supported. 15 days amd still no response from the coder.

I used this mod mainly because there was a thread started over at vb.com about this mod. I thought that progess would be quick. :confused:

VB.ORG - how long does one need to wait for a fix? :erm:

This mod should be marked as not supported. Great idea, but at this rate it will be 2015 before it even gets out of beta stage!

This is really sad.

And I agree. This mod needs to be changed to NOT supported.

I understand you don't know me, but I wouldn't tell you to do something unless I had tested it and found it to be pretty much solid myself.

That one query does one thing: It deletes your userid from the non vb user table, so that you can signup again, or reassociate the account. As long as you have your uid from vbulletin, you're not going to screw any thing up.

IB:
This is your chance to shine here. Please, don't let your customers (you know, us, the vB users) down. Unfortunately, it looks like you're doing just that, and ignoring reports about critical issues. Please, for the love of God, post an update to your paying customers saying "hey, these are acknowledged and we are investigating them"!!! That's really all it will take to keep many of us from knocking the product. As it is, right now, it does need to be downgraded to "not supported", because of the lack of response and support from IB

I've seen you around the forums here and your advice has been solid, so it's not your advice I'm worried about. It's my tendency to mess things up, as I've had very little to do with phpmyadmin, lol.

I'll give it a go, if you'll tell me how?

Has anyone else seen a marked increase in spam posts after installing this mod?
I sure have.

I've been running with fbconnect for a year or better on 3 forums. Not a bit of spam there.
Since switching over, again, not a bit of spam.

Then again, I make sure that individuals wait till 10 posts to make a post with links in it, and most spammers don't want to wait them 10 posts

Do you limit the links by usergroup, promotions? Or do you use a mod?

Thanks. I wasn't sure that vB settings applied to FB login users. I guess I'll try that.

I actually use this mod for the permissions thing

Can the developers make this mod pass HTML validation? I've personally got it down to 2 errors, which are that the Facebook button isn't defined and 'onlogin' isn't a valid attribute or something, and it's kinda bugging me.

Is there an issue with double digit usergroups? I created a custom usergroup to put non-vbulletin users into and it put them into the default registers usergroup. I have a double digit usergroup after a recent import.

This isn't something that should even be brought up until all the current bugs are fixed.

Read through the thread. You'll see that there isn't an issue with double digit groups, but with ALL usergroup numbers. Users are just not being ported over to custom groups right now.

I feel the same way as many others while trying to setup this mod but probably I'm causing some problems while implementation.

1st thing I notice as I'm getting some errors while posting about Invalid template bundle id specified... You can see this because you are one of the developers of the app.

Then while checking on my facebook application, should I've something in there? because I've a text that says: "No template bundles have been submitted."

2nd thing, I also noticed that changing the Usergroup doesnt affect anything, as my test are all on my Usergroup ID:2

3rd thuing, I'm not receiving emails while someone register using this vbNexus thing, I receive an email everytime an user register on my website, so will like to receive emails when someone register using this mod.

Again, its probably me causing trouble on my installation but as I've been readingthis thread its seems to me like there are many others having trouble with the same issues I'm working with. I love this idea and will like to receive any kind of update from the developer before I just trash it. Again, I'll love to use it on my website so, hopefully someone can help.

Jesus,
Make sure you followed the instructions re: templates.

1. Go into admincp -> options -> vbnexus options
2. At the bottom of the page, you'll see "Facebook Wall Feed Template COnfiguration Center", below that, click here. Do that
3. On the next page, click "Save Changes"
4. Reload the admincp->options->vbnexus options page , and the template ID's will be filled
5. Click "save" on the vbnexus options page

This should resolve your template issues. It is important that you follow them specifically. If you're moving over from fbconnect, make sure you clear out your old bundles.

RE: Usergroups, this isn't just you. Right now, we're ALL waiting on IB to come up with the solution to that one.

RE: User registration email, maybe possible, but the user isn't technically "registering" through standard methods, so you need to allow for a few differences. Maybe IB can fix this, we'll see.

Thanks Thanks Thanks for this wonderful and great plugin...I installed it on my forum and it works great.

But I just have one question - I have wordpress as my frontend and I want to show the login bar in my homepage. I tried putting the code but it did not worked. I also tried adding the javascript code to the head but it does not work.

Can you please tell how to make the login bar work on a non-vb page ???

Thanks

Seems to me this is working fine except that Facebook is not logging out perfectly.

I can live with this for the meantime and will wait for future updates.

I listed in a previous post how I setup the system to work on non-vb pages. Basically you have to edit one of the plugins to have the full vB path in the .js, then you have to create a new plugin to get the login code into a variable so it will show up in the header.

At bare minimum your Wordpress will need to be using the header, headerinclude, and footer template to get it to work.

Thanks for the reply Wolfstream, I just did this exactly as you mention, and then while I was doing my test, I receive this message (Please see the attached image), I click the okay button and the Registration seems completed.

Now I'm opening a New Thread and got the 2nd message error (please see the 2nd attached image), the message was published on my forum once I clicked the okay button. However, I see no message published on my facebook wall.

Thanks for your help on this matter.

Jesus

PS
I follow the instructions exactly as you mention, and everything seems ok on my Facebook Wall Feed Template Configuration Center inside my vbNexus options.

See my post here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=213

Thank you so much!

This fixed my template error issues. ;) Now lets see if my 2 other things (Usergroup ID and EMail registration per new members can be add it).

For now, I'll test this and hopefully it will work just fine!

Thanks again everyone (specially Ryan and Wolfstream) for helping me out with this!

Fix for users not being put in th specified user group.

Open the *** Initialize app *** plugin under the vB Nexus product. It is listed at the top of the product for me.
Find the following line

Replace with this

The plugin is referencing variable that does not exist. The code change uses the correct variable for the optional user group.


As to the email question, none of these services are going to allow you to automatically pull the email address during a remote session. Your best bet would be to alter the vbnexus_choose_username template to include a mandatory email field. One of the plugins would have to be changed as well, not sure off the top of my head right now. This would prevent anybody from registering without entering a email address.

I think this should be mandatory.

agreed, Iv tagged this to wait for a stable version

ibautocommunity,

Can I talk to you in private because I have a few questions that I can't ask in public here. If so, floris [at] vbulletin [dot] com (should still work) me your Skype or MSN/AIM details - no rush. I think some of the problems I could present might also help developer this product into something more unique than others .. and I rather use this and see this become stable than some paid addon from third party site.

All the best,
Floris

Why am I not surprised that once again, IB ignores their audience and product. Thanks for the update Calash, though you really shouldn't have to be picking up after IB's laziness

Not sure if it is laziness or something else. He is associated with IB and there may be something else going on. Perhaps some toes got stepped on or some SOP violated by this release. It could even be that priorities shifted and the resources are not dedicated to VB4.0

In any case I am happy to put my coding ability, be it somewhat limited, to use in helping the community. I really do like this mod and once you work out the bugs it does a really good job.

Really appreciate your support! I will be cataloging bugs and prioritizing them for next release, but we are currently still working on deploying this product on our sites and haven't had an opportunity or dire need to release a newer version. We are going to do a bug sweep soon and consider some other functionality.

so i'm guessing you can't capture any user information for newsletters, demographics or whatever?

i got the email. gave you a poke.
appreciated. :)

Once logged in with Google, it asks me to select a username for public display.

The footer lists uncached template: vbnexus_choose_username

also i want to to mentioned that when someone logs on under facebook.In there profile email address, there's a sequence of numbers follow by the facebook proxy site as the email address.Is that normal?

Which seems to mean that this thread/release won't be gettng any real support from you anytime soon, and 13 pages of questions/help requests won't be getting answered anytime soon, etc.

Good to know. :rolleyes:

Yes, you will not get their real email address from Facebook. Google seems to give you even less, at least you can use the Facebook one to send an email. This is why the email prompt is in the control panel, and also why there is the talk about an email field when you pick your user name.

It would really be a good idea IMHO to have it as an option, possibly with the ability to make it mandatory.

OH, no, it's laziness.
This is the most pathetic attempt at "support" I've seen in a mod in a very, very long time. Ignoring customer requests, you know, the people that pay the bills?

I'd say this is amost as bad as the original mod doing this very same thing. It's pathetic that developers ignore their customers because they want to , nothing more. Blame it on "our other forums" all you like, but you have over 13 pages of requests and problems that you have blatantly ignored for close to a month not.

How are we supposed to take this? That IB wants our business, or wants to improve their product? No, I'm afraid, it's not going to be taken that way. Just the opposite, in fact.

You place a mod on your own forums and call it "supported", then ignore the requests for support.

This mod should be moved to the graveyard, because it most definitely is not stable or supported, as the author claims

NO don't move it to the graveyard. The code is reusable, so someone take it and make this work. (please?)

This worked Tom, thanks SO much!!! :D


EDIT: I'm being prompted to publish my posts now. However, when starting a new thread, once I click Submit, I get a gray blank page.
Any ideas about that?

Try restarting your browser and re-logging in.
This is what everyone else has been reporting. My guess is that it has something to do with either the session (possible), or the connection to facebook. It's not a permament thing, it'll go away, then come back, then go away, etc.

That got me 3 posts before I had to log out and in again.

Thanks Tom!
