Integration with vBulletin - YAFB - Yay! Another Facebook Bridge

The add-on has been updated to reflect Facebook new policy starting October 1st (read more here). Basically this is a maintenance update for user of this add-on from the past. The add-on now supports vBulletin 3.8.x only. In this new version, there are only the basic features: register and login (some simple sharing too). It keeps old settings so you don't need to re-configure.

How to update (this is important):
1. Disable the add-on in AdminCP
2. Upload files in the package (make sure you disable the add-on before uploading)
3. Import the xml in the package, choose Yes to rewrite.
4. Re-enable the add-on
5. Done

Just remember to disable the add-on before uploading files and you will be okie.

No, 3.8.4 but the sideboxes don't really fit in with the style of our site so they were removed from the template, I've been able to fix the sideblocks for gifts & albums so they show vertically instead which is much more in keeping with the rest of the site. I've tried doing that with the facebook sidebox but had no success as when I change the hook location it vanishes..

Can you give me a fullpage screenshot after your changes made in template?

BUG still exists at 1.9:

1. Connect your Account at Forum and logout. Then log in at your Facebook Profile.

2. Try to log in at Forum with the "Connect with Facebook" Link at Forum.

3. The Bridge wants still register you again at the Forum.

The Bridge should save which Facebook Profil is allready connected to a Forumuser and has to prove this at "Connect with Facebook" Link.

Just to make sure that you understand what i mean:

If a User has connected once with the Bridge the next Time he use the Bridge he should be logged in automatically at Forums without asked again if he wants to register or log in.

In the best Way the Bridge should prove at the first Time if the Mail from Facebook was allready registered at a Forumaccount and ask only for the Forumpassword to validate and connect the Accounts.

FOUND A SIMPLE SOLUTION:

Auto Authentication (login and logout automatically) at UserCP should be ON automatically at every Userprofile if this Setting is ON at ACP.

Feature Request:

Please allow us to edit and create Templates directly from ACP like at vB Nexus.

Phrase request:

Thank you for logging in, xxxx.
Note: The system logged you in automatically with your Facebook Session.

Well, ideally after registration via the Facebook procedure, all options will be enabled automatically (with a few exceptions because they depends on other config/settings). From what you reported, I think you registered normally then connect your account with Facebook, right? Well, I don't turn them on with existing account connection (maybe will be added a setting soon)

About the link. I changed to a landing page (root/facebook.com). After Facebook session confirmed, there will 2 links (register and login). If user registered, clicking both links will result in auto-login. If member enabled auto-login feature. They will get through automatically

I can't provide further convenience for the landing page. I really thing it's enogh with all those fallbacks

About the creating template request, I'm not at home now but as I remember, there is a link at the bottom of the Manager page that allow you to create template. It's simple as that

And the phrase, you can do a search in Phrase Manager. All texts are phrased

Please don't do this, at-least not in this mod, the reason is pretty clear, everyone can see that this mod is full featured Facebook bridge and no need to include other services, just keep this mod up and supported and you rocks

Using Synchorize Avatar from Facebook option I get this error:
"Upload failed due to failure writing temporary file."

[mrpaint]

@Veer: please test uploading avatar using url in the normal way and tell me your result. Sync Avatar use that core function to update avatar

That'd be awesome if you could.
