how do i remove my linked facebook account from an account on the forum that i was testing?

also when users register on the site using the google and aim login options, and register with the forum, it registers the user account with a wierd email address, like 2389072375827@www.SITE.com why is that?

Look up a few posts for this answer.

where i dont see a reply about this??

Thank you Ryan. I am able to submit now in FB. :p

Post #275. I have commented on this at least 4 times in the thread, as have others.

You can not get email from the providers. Most likely a security measure but honestly I have not researched it. For Facebook you get a proxy email that will work. The others get a somewhat random email with your site info in it. This will not work.

yes, thank you very much for this fix

ok and how do i unlink a facebook account to a forum account? so when i am doing test or whatever, i dont want it to keep automatically logging in. i want it to ask the regular questions like what name do u want or do u have an account...

how do i unlink the facebook account from the forum account?

Was the Forum account there and you linked it or was it created when you signed on using your Facebook account?

Simple way is to Delete the forum account, but if it is one you use then the best way to unlink it that I can think of is to edit the Database and remove the entry that has the Forum ID from the vbnexus_nonvbuser table.

This should be made easier. An option in the userCP or even something under the Admin tools.

Just as a general warning, make sure that the account has a valid email especially if it was created by Facebook or Google Friend Connect. The password local password is what appears to be a hash of some data and likely unknown so after you break the association you will need to reset the forum password to login.

Thanks Calash,
I would really appreciate if you can tell how that step can be accomplished.

I have made a new plugin and made it global, and $vbnex_login works fine on vbulletin but when I use that on wordpress it's not working.

Thanks

This mod conflicts with vbseo Live Stats RC1:

any fix for this?

Any chance this will ever be fully developed or at least made more stable?

One of my site's facebook fan pages has been on fire lately and I'd be willing to pay for someone to fix this code so I can entice some of those facebook fans to use the forum over on my site...

Anyone that has good references and knows how to accomplish this can send me a pm.

the other facebook connect mod works better. Trickier to install but it does actually work.

This mod here will be fully developed as part of vb4 and as it stands is nothing more than an annoying teaser of what could've been.

Thanks for the info, I didn't know this would be a feature of vb4.

I looked at the other facebook mod but this one had more of the specific features that I want.

If I install either one of them will facebook users get kerfrumpled if the same type of feature is integrated into vb4? I don't like to do anything to disrupt forum users if I don't have to...

No this mod will not be integrated into vB4, as far as I know. But it will be compatible with vB4, according to Anders. I'm not sure how they'll accomplish that when they can't get it to work properly with vB 3.8.4, but we'll see.

There are some good bug fixes listed in this thread so far.

What problems are you seeing?

ok installed and it works great for facebook features. No issues at all...

But when clicking on the google, aim logo to join it does nothing. No box opens,nothing? Why would this be?

okay I believe I figured out my error...

I had put it to my main site instead of the subdomain my forum was on for the google connect stuff.

Can't post when logged in from facebook on the demo site, can't even see the forum... After several attempts it just doesn't seem to work.

I don't want to create this kind of problem for my site's users.

Odd. I was able to post fine just now. Had one of the annoying gray screens but once I told it not to post to my Facebook profile it went fine.

What browser are you running?

You are welcome to test on my site as well if you would like. I have it in a good running state there.

I'm using firefox 3.5.2.

I tried logging into your forum and even made a post. It worked perfectly, maybe it's something with my set up.

I'll have to give this another shot.

How do I get this to work with vbadvanced? P.S. I have vbadvance installed in the same folder as my forum...

Hey, IB!!! Are you listening?
Come on people, this is pretty pathetic here. Are you going to provide support for this and fix the product, or is it going to be, like your blogs, an experiment that you just toss out because you don't want to deal with it any more?

For a month now, you haven't updated your product, despite well known issues. This is just flat out embarassing not just to you, but to those of us that actually install this, and recommend your products and services. Wake up!!! Start providing support and updates here!!!

Here's another one of those fine bugs that are a result of pathetic coding:
When using this product and vBseo, if you try to login on ANY page that is not the forum home page, you can't. Why? Because someone forgot to check and make sure that the product url is anchored to the forum url. Rookie mistake!

So when do you plan on fixing these horrific bugs here? Or are you planning on just leaving people high and dry like your usual IB self for months on end?

The team of 2 people that created this product and shared it with the community is still deploying this product on our sites; we didn't have the problem with vbseo as described. We've had a major problem with IE6 compatibility for which we've issued a fix.

From the very inception of the product, we've stated that this product is not developed by the core vBulletin team, but that this is rather a good-will community product offering from a team that manages the automotive sites at IB, nothing more - nothing less.

We've also clearly stated that this particular release is BETA, bugs are to be expected. The two people supporting this product are planning on supporting it - meaning that we will release it onto our own sites, field user reported errors and bug reporting in this thread and release a follow-up upgrade. Furthermore, we will do our best to keep up with vBulletin updates to bring this product up to 4.0.

Riiiight, support means you'll just provide support on your own sites. That's pathetic at best. This is NOT a supported mod, hell, it's not even an updated mod here. Get with the program!

Ignoring bug reports, not acting on them, not fixing them is unacceptable. People do your work for you, and you just sit back and do nothing. If you want to run a beta mod, you must provide support (full support) wherever you release the mod, and you must update releases, not sit back and ignore bugs. This is just common sense here!

Modification changed to unsupported in lieu of definition of the term. We intent on supporting the product with major upgrades and releases; currently we do not provide immediate response to bug reports; however, bugs will be prioritized and resolved in the aforementioned releases.

Are there any plans to provide updates for the current release and current version of vBulletin or is the majority of the work being focused on a version for vB 4.0? I am not sure about anybody else but my transition to 4.0 will be slow at best so support being focused on that release does me no good for the immediate future.

I think a lot of the frustration is in that several people have offered good solutions to many of the bugs, solutions that would only take a copy/paste to implement, and they seem to be ignored. That may be an incorrect assessment but it is the perception of the situation as I, and I think many others, see it.

it's kind of a pain though, with users having to sign in every time using the facebook/google image. When I was first testing it out, I registered via facebook and when I was trying to login via the login boxes on the forums it wouldnt work, until I realized I had to login with the images... I assume guests might make this mistake too. Would it be possible for you to allow the user to set a password when they are setting their username.

If we can carve out some time next week we are planning on addressing some issues and providing an update.

Because people like the fact they can JOIN the site using their facebook account, but don't want to use it every time they login to the site!

In theory...if they follow the instructions and add their personal email addresses they could request a Password Reset. Once they have a known password they will have the option of logging in ether way.

IMHO that defeats the purpose of the mods a bit but it should work.

This particular release should have been an alpha release, if it was to be released at all. Fact is, you released this mod, let us find your bugs for you, and left us to fend for ourselves, while you "roll it out onto your own sites". IMO, it should not have been released until after you'd done this and found the majority of the bugs yourself, then released it as beta.

You pm'd me and asked me for a list of my issues, stating that you would help me get them sorted out on my site - over 3 weeks ago - and I haven't heard from you since, except the pm telling me that you're rolling it out on your own sites. Clearly your idea of supporting a release thread mod, beta or otherwise, is quite different from anyone else's idea of support. :)

It's only thanks to Wolfstream answering questions on this thread (i.e. doing your job), that this mod is working on as many sites as it is.


Nice work there Anders. :rolleyes:

I can't take all the credit (though I can take a little bit of it) , Calash has helped out a good bit as well.

I do agree though, this is something that vb.org never should have seen in the state it's in. This is alpha, and barely even qualifies as that.

I understand you have priorities, but when you release something somewhere, you are obligated to fix it there as well as on your own site. You've grossly failed that obligation here.

I don't have a problem with running beta/rc software, as long as the developer supports the software in a timely fashion and fixes the bugs, in the same timely fashion. Promising support to individuals and not giving it, holding back critical bugfixes to "prioritize" them, this is absolutely ugly.

Sorry I didn't mean to leave you out Calash, or anyone else who's helped here.
Thanks to all of you.

only works on mysql 5? :( dang

If this mod is so bad why has it been promoted for mod of the month? Is it not possible to Updated to current buggy code and release updates in this thread?

I for one would pay a good amount of money to get a bugless facebook login feature.

No one said it was a bad mod. It is loaded with bugs, yes. It does need alot of work. And currently it is unsupported.

It was nominated for MOTM when it was first released, because it was being supported at that time, and everyone was excited about it - at that time.

So why dont we find someone that will build a bug free facebook login and support it? This is the second time its been attempted and still not good.

I agree that this kind of a mod is absolutely necessary, 100%.
The problem is that while it's necessary, developers don't have time to just throw out there on unpaid mods. It's not like we grow on trees (and I include myself very loosely in that category). It takes time to build something like this and get it working, which, to a developer = money .

After I'm done with my current project, I will look at this (don't get your hopes up, because I really can't afford to spend time on major plugins like this) and see if I can do something better than the other two, but I'm in the middle of something right now, and I have a very, very bad case of procrastinate-itis ;)

Edit:
Oh, and thanks for the comment on the site via PM, Peggy, I spend a LOT of time trying to get that stuff together as you can imagine, and comments like that are exactly what I do it for ;)

I would offer my help, but my code tends to be a bit messy, as you probably can see from my few posts here. My time is also a bit scattered at times as RL gets in the way of computer time.

I also lack a bit of knowledge about how to create and export products in VB. I am learning from my eFiction bridge but still have a way to go.

Still, if I can be of assistance let me know and I will see what can be done.
