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.

I have many members who would love this feature however I'm wondering if it would be easy to merge their normal forum account into their new facebook account and to have all their posts carried across etc...

If this is possible, how could I do this?

Also, is it safe for admin accounts to make the jump?

In the usercp, select the facebook bridge > options item at the bottom of the sidebar you can then link a facebook account to an existing account, it's safe for all members to do this as just adds the facebook info to the account which is removed again if the product is uninstalled no other alterations to the account take place.

To test, register an account on the test board using the normal vbulletin registration and then connect as explained above

What i can do ?

[TNCclubman]

nominated this for mod of the month

[Matt Lathrop]

I currently have this mod installed: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...cebook+Connect. I want to your mod because 1. it is supported and 2. It has a few more functions. Is there a way to migrate over?

[Megatr0n]

mrpaint, did you get my PM?

[burlesque]

I've just installed this, but for some reason, people's profiles are now showing as blank pages. This seems to be something to do with the profile block.

Just nominated this as MOTM...

I have a couple question or possibly a feature request.

I have this mod installed and works good except there are some major concerns because this mod will currently allow you to feed data over to facebook regardless if the forum is a restricted forum or not. Currently like many other forum owners I have hidden forums that us mods will post within but I dont want posts/threads from those forums to feed over to facebook, Can I request a feature in this mods control panel to disclude certain forums.

Also another request is to clean up the fans page... whats happening is some show avatars some dont even though they do have avatars, also may give the admin or users an option to either list fans (which is members that most replied to your threads) or to show your friends list instead which is cleaner I think..
