- - Integration with vBulletin - Facebook Connect - Allow your users to login with their Facebook account (for 3.8) (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=203064)

I have your facebook connect plugin installed on my board. My main forum URL is a subdomain http://forums.xxxx.com , which is where I originally installed it. I created a vbadvanced page on my homepage,. xxxx.com . I have a facebook connect button also located there, and it used to always work.. and then all of a sudden it stopped working properly. When I click the facebook connect button from the vbadvanced page it no longer works, and I have to go to the forum root (forums.xxxx.com) for facebook connect to actually work.

Please let me know if you can help me fix this.. it's becoming such a pain.. On my facebook API settings I have the base url set to xxxx.com, so I thought it would work.

Is it possible to force the "Connect with Facebook" dialog box to a different location? Like I want mine to be 100px from the top of the screen INSTEAD of center screen...

...yes, Im nit picking, but for me...hey its what I need :)

What happens to the user if they decide to disable or delete their facebook account? Will they still show on the memberlist, and will their forum account be disabled too?

Since facebook controls their account, they will only be able to not login. Facebook does not control 3rd party apps, nor does it pass that information on to them.

They cease to be able to login, unless you change their profile and manually add an email and password for them. This is WHY it's imperative to keep users from facebook in their own usergroup

Oh, and what happens if two members are on each others facebook ignore/block list?

I wouldn't think anything, however I haven't seen that situation.

This isn't what you "need", but what you "want". There is a difference between the two.
Can it be done ? I'm sure it can. Go through the files provided by the author and see where this is called.

This isn't going to work at all, you need to pick one and stick with it. Facebook allows you to use one url for your app to "connect" to, and only one. This can either be www.domain or forums.domain.

still facing the same problem, i checked the template 4 times, and checked the facebook application 4 times but still getting that picture

any things to do to find where is the problem exactely

Thanks

Then you're doing something wrong, because the app works.

Hi,

When it automatically friends new fbconnect users's friends. Those friends don't get a friendship back to the new fbconnect user. Is there anyway to resolve this?

Yes thats what i am saying, if i configure the facebook application exactely as you said in your screens shoot, and the templates done as you explained, how can i know where am wrong?

Thanks

my brain hurts from trying to read all of these post.
I installed and so far I like it an it works.

One problem I have is post in privat forums can be posted to Facebook. This is a problem as I dont want posts from my mod section ending up on Facebook. Id there a way to restrict or set permisions controlling/limiting private forums from being able to post to Face book?

Im sorry if an answer has already been posted, I feel cross eyed from trying to read all the posts.

Kudos to wolfstream for stepping up.

It's not a matter of being 'too lazy', it's a matter of being 'more secure'. Think of it. One password, one login, multiple forums. no spam!!! Facebook handles everything, including password and email changes. Now THAT is unique. It's not about being 'too lazy', but keeping everything under one roof. Now, if that one roof caves in, you're screwed, but you still have that one roof

That's good for dig, but the way the facebook API works , the email address is hashed, and the end user (developer) doesn't actually SEE that email address

Nonsense. It takes all of 5 minutes to edit the templates. Why use an "auto template parser" which forces a linkback on every page to a pathetic author? Take 5 minutes, edit the templates, and you're done. This way you KNOW what you're doing, and can actually LEARN from it.

Be careful when playing with that, because you can very easily screw up the setup. The button and link and all that come directly from facebook

See my screenshots a few posts back, make sure your app configuration follows that EXACTLY. That is the #1 reason people get that error

you seem really concerned with picking apart everyones suggestions and criticism of this mod, and im under the impression you believe this mod is perfect. my entire post was pretty much deflected by you, and i notice you doing it to others in this thread as well. whats the reason for this?

if your not willing to accept constructive criticism then...................
