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.

Thanks for all your work its much appreciated.

Well, for the navbar link, please add this line of code into your navbar or header template (to find out which one should be altered, you need to look for other navbar links, if you're not sure about it you can send me your templates via email)

PHP Code:

$template_hook[navbar_buttons_right] 


With the registration page. It is completely rewritten and it can work independently

Good luck

One more question, do we need to translate the language phrase to have the notification in our language or what? Cause I have only three templates in the options (the first for the test, one to invite guys and another one i don't remember what for) but I don't have i.e. the notification for new private message and so on.

I will think about the checkbox. It's a great idea I think.
About the notifications, they don't use template. FYI, the template bundle model is the old method. Facebook introduced the new stream and for most of the time, the product will try to publish with new API functions which don't use template bundles... Back to the notifications, you will need to search for the phrase in vBulletin and translate them. Yay! You are done

PS: I think I will added the checkboxes right now

That worked, I will just build from there for my register page.
I can get the template from there now that I got something to show up. I am going to change that with the other facebook button looks cleaner. Thanks a lot.

As for the check box for each post even though they allowed it to be posted would be great so they still have to check the box if they want it to show on their wall and what not would be a great addon.

Thanks for taking all the suggestions and implementing them so fast.

Would it be possible to relocate the navbar link connect code?

You just have to get the code from your templates and put it where ever you want.

After uninstall/disable the product, registered accounts won't be able to login. I have several ideas for these accounts but I'm still thinking

When I disable it the users are still able to login long as they set email and password. So if I uninstall it will they be removed? If so will that cause errors on member numbers?

Bug Report:
This bypasses auth email. Members are sent directly to registered users.

When you log out the site you log out facebook too.

I have a forced intro thread on register. Most of it works just fine. It post the message but the user of the post is "test2 - test2" when it should just be "test2"

Also for some reason on index.php the link that it shows to the intro thread shows a link like this http://www.domain.com/forums/showthread.php?p=0#post0
it should be http://www.domain.com/forums/showthr...p?t=2842#post0

Both these errors are only in the last post section on index.

The idea of Facebook Connect is the user already done human verification and has a valid email address so it's not necessary to require email validation. And it's impossible also because we need the sending email permission in order to send email but if user can't log in, they won't be able to grant that email permission

When you log out of vBulletin, it's a required to log out of Facebook also to prevent a loop of logging in and logging out

Well, I use some hooks in the standard registration process to support other mods/hacks/products but sometimes, the other mod get conflicted with the Facebook registration. So, if you give me the name of the Introducing Thread, I will check it out and prevent future conficts

PS: FYI, the checkboxes are done :>

Well, 1.6 is out there with the checkboxes displayed in quick reply form, full reply form, full new thread form to allow member who enabled those specified actions to temporary disable for the upcoming post. Wow, I forgot to mention, the checkboxes are applied in sending private message also

Won't send any update email this time. Hope you guys can get it all. I think 3 releases are enough for this weekend. Cya later!
