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.

A little note for attachment downloads:

- YAFB v1.5: 4 downloads, YAFB v1.5.1: 26 downloads, YAFB v1.6: 29 downloads, YAFB v1.7: 22 downloads, YAFB v1.8: 48 downloads

$footer " }

Any thought?

Same here, awaiting feedback before install as I have an extremely modified board and install will be hassle if it's not 100% functional per your demo...

I solved the first problem using CYB - Change vBForms Defaults, but I cannot do anything for the AME conflict.

edit:
One more problem... it disable the checkbox for automatic show signature

About the checkboxes bug: That's really funny bug. Thank you. I figured it out and thing will be fixed in the next version (release this weekend).
Also, can you describe more detail with AME so I can check it out if there is any solution...

Please test the notification system by turning on the "new reply to own thread" option then use another forum account to post to one of your thread. If the notification is not shown up, it's highly chance that Facebook banned notification permission with your application. Anyway, do the test and tell me the result so we can check it out

This would be a nice feature

I though I would try logging in with the button of the old mod then trying to set it up with the new mod (have both running at once), but I got a fatal error when I tried. Any ideas how to move the users?

I will look for a solution

2. vBulletin Visitor Message Feed, Allow to publish on Facebook Profile Wall.

Thanks.

No promise for the Video-Directory Remixed but it's definitely possible with Visitor Message

OK I have a question about the login with facebook feature when a user log in with their facebook account does that username get created in VB ? I want to know how this feature works and what usergroups they get placed into, what userrights do they get? I would like to enable this feature but need more details on how this interacts with vb for useraccounts? Also if the members cancels there facebook account how does that effect there vb account.

A new account is created for each Facebook user
New account is in Registered User group (and is applied all of this usergroup permissions)
If the Facebook account is canceled/deactivated, that person can reclaim his/her account with the reclamation process

I solved my problem installing passive video instead of AME on my little forum...since AME has some serious problem with VbGooglemap ME.

Anyway...AME is just an hack that shows you the youtube/yahoo/myvideo etc etc box instead of the normal url links

I can't wait tiill the next release!!
