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.

My navbar is also pretty heavily modified. I did this search an navbar still showed up... but the facebook connect button still does not shot up in my navbar. What code do I need to insert in my navbar to have it showup?

It's possible with an IF let it the button INVISIBLE when the connect is ON???

I had this same error, but had php5. I was able to fix it by going into my cpanel. Evidently my host had upgraded, but still allowed things to be processed in php4. I had to change that setting and it worked!

When a FB user registers on my forum via FBConnect, their avatar is NOT imported.

Everything else seems fine...but no avatar. Its a "vanilla" install. I see there is a setting to change the number of avatars imported...I left it at its default.

Their avatar DOES display during the registration process...but it doesnt seem to save to my forum/server.

Any ideas?

And if you figure out the issue, how can I "resync" the user accounts that have been created via FBConnect so that their avatars show up?

So let me get this straight. If I install this hack, anybody with a Facebook account can log onto my forum, even if they happen to be already banned previously.
