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.

Okie. So you need to increase the priority of the other plugin and let it run before YAFB's plugin. YAFB is designed to work with other plugins

Go to AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Plugin Manager > Look for a hook location named "usercp_nav_complete" of the other plugin then click Edit. Set the Execution Order to any value lower than 5. I suggest 1. Save it and you are done. Cheers!

Post get published on your wall can be seen on your friends' News Feed (the feed when you access Facebook > Home). If you asked for publishing to friends' wall, there are several actions that support that kind of publishing such as sending PM. You can try on the demo board if you want: http://daohoangson.com/vb38

If I was to guess, I would say your skin is missing the template hook in the Usercp. For kicks I signed up on your site and, by putting the path above in by hand, was able to set my permissions correctly.
