Hi, I am on 3.8.5 and when I log out of the forum and then click on the Connect With Facebook button all it does is take me to the forums page. It doesn't open any type of registration page.

One thing I have noticed so far..if I am connected with face book, why isn't my face book profile pic showing inside the forum? Is there a solution for this that you know of?

Have you ever used this before? Have you used the Facebook app anywhere else before? What is the link of the button?

Because YAFB does't synchronize avatars

Yes I did have a previous version of your mod installed, but uninstalled it a while ago, I have just reinstalled it today.

The link on the button goes to your facebook.php file.

This is a fantastic mod that opens up a host of opportunities for vBulletin communities, 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 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!

What's exactly the url to the facebook.php file? Also, because you installed it before, probably you reused the Facebook app? If it's the case, you probably have authenticated your account before so Facebook will just redirect you back to vBulletin. And because you installed it before, probably the info is still in the database so YAFB logs you in. Is that the case? Important question: when you get back to forums, were you logged in or not?

1) Yeah, that's a valid point except for the fact that I updated this to keep it working with new Facebook policy.
2) You can register with a password or you can change password later.
3) What are you talking about? The email address is in vBulletin, you can mass email without any problem (but I don't recommend that). Also, you can mass PM just fine, have you tried it at all?
4) There is no fblogin.php in YAFB

Final words: what the hell are you talking about?

Just installed but have one issue.

When I go to UserCP and click Facebook Bridge options, there is nothing there but the save options button.

???

I got it now!

So when a new user registers, their email will be viewable in vB AdminCP?
