It's NOT broken though, and it certainly IS supported.
Does the mod work? Yes
Is it supported by the author? Privately, yes. Publicly, no.
Is it supported by the commmunity? I have provided countless hours of 'free' support myself, as have others. This makes it supported

Just hopping in to say that this is the greatest vbulletin modification I've ever used. Thank you so much for this.

Questions:


1) Currently, it works perfectly whenever I new user signs up via the "Connect with Facebook" button. The problem is whenever I connect my EXISTING account to my Facebook account, I no longer receive the option to publish stuff to my Facebook wall when creating a thread, etc.
Nevermind Fixed - just make sure your current user used the "Connect with Facebook" button - not just the vbulletin login.

2) Is there any way to change the "Connect with Facebook" button image (I want to make it smaller).

Sllik for president of vbulletin.org, 2009! Seriously, awesome mod bro. You have a fanboy.

Edit:
wolfstream, props to you for all the crap you are dealing with in this thread, along with your unwarranted support.

do i have to get the application published before the application will work on my site? Right now their is a button below the user name/password on my forum for "connect with facebook." When I click that button nothing happens.

Uploaded all the files, double checked all my install and template editing. Never dealt with a facebook application and the installation instructions don't mention anything about how to get this thing to work after step 7.

thanks,

does anyone know how to turn off that popup that gets displayed after every post thats made? It asks if you want to publish it on facebook. I want it to do that automatically without asking the users...

Did you read the original post?

"If nothing happens when you click the Facebook Connect button make sure your callback url domain is the same as you forum domain (the one set in your forum settings) - more specifically make sure that there is a www (or isn't) in both domains."

Also, I had the same problem as you. It turned out it was just users entering both www. and http://

I would suggest creating a .htaccess file rewrite rule so that no matter what - your domain will be either http://domain.com or include the www.
Choose one and stick with it.

I think everyone expects the creator or current developer to support it. It really should be listed as non-supported.

Aren't all the nonsupported mods supported by the community?

Thanks for your help with the current mod. But it would be nice if someone took total ownership and responsibility for it. Vbulletin.org is getting very bad with mod developers not "supporting" the products they claim to.

It leads to mass confusion and negative issues...

JUST becausse someone doesn't login here to support their mod doesn't mean they don't support it. Now I can't say for certain whether or not they support via email, but I have been told by individuals they got support from the author (as I was preparing to install it for them).

Not necessarily. VB.org is getting very bad with developers not releasing stable code, YES, but I see no issues in this thread that can not be resolved by understanding and reading requirements. The mod doesn't need support, if you follow instructions provided.

What leads to mass confusion is individuals coming in and claiming "this doesn't work" when it does, or not following instructions. IF you follow the instructions, it will work as expected

Current version can't be done. In future versions, maybe the author will allow it, BUT this will cross a very, very fine line with Facebook's privacy setup, and run the risk of getting your app and account banned. You do NOT want notifications automatically sent, otherwise, you will end up being flagged as a 'spammer', which facebook frowns upon (moreso than the other)

Will the author return to support their hack? Maybe someday. Until then, your best response is to email them, and make sure to remember what you paid for this hack (absolutely nothing). As a developer, there is nothing more annoying than someone constantly nagging and annnoying me about a free release, or demanding support for such release. Remember, you pay nothing, you are guaranteed nothing for support. You pay for support, you are guaranteed it.

Hmmm....
Maybe a frequently asked questions link.

You are right. But as far as I catch the philosophy here, it?s pretty unusual to label a hack as "supported" and leave it alone for a long time.
I?m no coder and I?m trying my best to obey all instructions of installing and using addons severely and thoroughly and I learned a lot. But for me as a non-programmer it is misleading, if I recognize a hack as "supported", install it and stick to be left alone.
If you are saying, private support is given and public one not, I can?t understand the difference in provding the energy of support. Many private questions would be superfluous, if one could read the public answer right before. I for myself don?t want to overwork the answering-capacities of a coder by asking him questions privately.
I do respect for sure, that any thinkable life-event can prevent a coder from giving (public) support and I am grateful for all efforts at this awesome place, but what is the problem to set this very mod to "unsupported"? Or to create a new category "privately supported"?
