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:

We are on PHP version 5.2.5

I uninstalled and reinstalled.. same error.

[pmcnamara]

okay, I found the problem.. in the admincp panel, it says "facebook bridge"

that evidently is leftover from another facebook bridge I tried to use..

you have to go to the "Yay! Another Facebook Bridge" under the vBulletin Options link.. there is not a shortcut panel added to the AdminCP

And.. evidently.. when you uninstall the other Facebook plug, it doesn't remove that part of it.. so it can be confusing.

Just sent a private message. I wanted to ask you a question about this mod offline.

GREAT mod by the way, and it seems to be the best bridge out there right now...

[pmcnamara]

We still can't get it to work..

But I don't think its anything wrong with this mod.. I think its all remnants of the old mod that I can't seem to get rid of.

Yes, this I know. However, I do not know how to save that information without pressing a save button, which I do not have.

mrpaint, could you give a brief description on how I could push my own custom notifications to Facebook?

In addition to this problem, after installing YAFB I could also no longer access parts of my usercp. All of the pages under settings and options in the usercp result in a blank white page. When I disabled YAFB in admincp, the problems went away.

Not sure what it is looking for or to where I should place these missing images.

Thanks in Advance,

You have copied only a part of the url. It's longer than that. Here is a sample URL for your reference: http://platform.ak.fbcdn.net/www/app...ns%2Ficon4.gif

Also, does anyone know how to connect a Facebook fan page with a different vBulletin account? I have a personal account I use with my Facebook on my forum and I also have a business account I built a fan page for on Facebook that I would like to connect with my business account I have on my forum.

thanks

You can't connect a Fan Page but you can connect your Facebook Business Account just like the way you connect your primary Facebook Account. Please note that, publishing to page only supported with Forums

It looks like there is a Fatal error with the script. Are you using PHP4?
