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.

Thats great mrpaint, it appears its not just me that would like that feature.
It's not so much though that i want "all features" turned on, I'd like to be able to set the default and perhaps an overwrite in admin for each setting.
That way when you add a new feature I an force it on anyone using the system (using my judgement of whether that's the right approach).
As for the 3rd option on facebook.php for "users already with an account, connect them now" would solve all kinds of confusion with users trying to register a second account with their facebook only for the email address to be the same and get stuck in a weird facebook / user logged in scenario without either being connected properly (which has happened a few times)
Keep up the good work. Regarding graphics and buttons / layout, happy to help with this to get this mod polished up.
My only other criticism is that some of the language / phrases used in the mod are quite informal. While I'm happy that you're obviously a laid back guy and like that to show in your app, would be good if the phrases were a standard serious formal tone for those that do run professional forums, just a suggestion.
I thought about bitfield settings so you can select which options should be turned on automatically when user connected/registered. But you know? I don't think forcing member using new feature is a good idea, I think you should post an announce or something in that case. But if it's just an auto-turn-on after successful connection, it's acceptable. I will build it this way
It would be great if you can contribute some buttons or you have any suggestion on the templates. I will make changes in the new releases
Thank you for your suggestion, I will take that one seriously I will do

If you can get openinviter tied w/ this mod, your mod would be on the first page of "most downloads". I'm sure of it!
Hi mate, the visionary of being on the first page is cool but actually, I don't really understand how OpenInviter can help this product in it's task (connect with Facebook). You have an idea? Share with meeee, please
After installing your product, I take back what I recommended (openinviter). I've got to say, your product is by far the best facebook connect mod i've installed (i've tested all others). I integrated this with my site (http://www.defendingthetruth.com) and sent out a blast to all users to try it out. It's been a huge success so far and I appreciate you making this a simple mod to install!
The only suggestion I can think of is giving users the capability to change "Granted" permissions in their profile back to "Not Permitted" Other than that, works great!!

I don't remember that there is a function we can call from our side to revoke extend permission (but we can revoke authentication completely). I will check it out later
Anyway, guys, look at this screencast and tell me what you think http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ComjeipReE4 (wait for the HD version to have best quality, I have just uploaded recently)
The OpenInviter (http://openinviter.com/) sounds fun. Tell me if I googled the right one then I will check it out. Or I just put a note for others to use
Thanks
I think OpenInviter is a separate product, and there is no need to include this into the Facebook Bridge.

Please don't use bitfield settings that I don't like, because I have 18+ usergroups and it is very hard to update settings one by one.
Yes, just an auto-turn-on after successful connection is good idea. but without bitfield settings

Great video hear hear!
I may have found a small bug on ./profile.php?do=editavatar
When you try to select Synchorize Avatar from Facebook and hit save, I get this message: Upload of file failed.
I do have custom avatars enabled so I don't know if that was tested out fully for this mod.. Not a big deal though

Which source did you choose for Avatar Synchronize? If by some reason, the use don't have avatar or avatar not available (privacy settings), the script will be unable to sync between 2 systems. If the option is shown, mostly, it's the problem from Facebook's side (because if vBulletin board misses some of the required configuration, the option will be hidden)
