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.

i have also made this similar to all the other fb connect so when a user is logged in with fb it will display their fb avatar, just like vb4 or that old fb connect.

i will only provide the code, feel free to edit it to your theme as you wish

this is just standard vb3 theme placement, and may not be the perfect spot for you but try it out:

open template navbar

find:

<img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/navbits_start.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a> <strong>$vboptions[bbtitle]</strong></div>
		</if>
	</td>

below add:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[fbuid]">
                    <td class="alt2" align="center" style="width:51px;padding:4px;">
                <div style="position:relative;padding:3px;">
                    <a target="_new" href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=$bbuserinfo[fbuid]">
                        <img width="40" height="40" alt="Connected with Facebook" src="https://graph.facebook.com/$bbuserinfo[fbuid]/picture" title="Connected with Facebook" border="0" >
                        <img style="width: 15px; height: 15px; position: absolute; left: 2px; top: -3px; z-index: 2;" alt="Connected with Facebook" src="$vboptions[bburl]/fbb/facebook_logo_16x16.gif" title="Connected with Facebook" border="0" />
                    </a>
                </div>
            </td>
</if>

for people who know what theyre doing:
so with that snippit you shoud catch the main condition for the fb id and the if condition for fb users.

if condition for fb logged in users being

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[fbuid]">

and this snippet for users fb id

$bbuserinfo[fbuid]

with knowing these you can expand on this even further, i have only begun to play around with this and will keep you updated if i find anything else

note: i will not provide support for the code placement in your theme, i gave placement for stock theme, which is the best spot for the main theme. any highly customized themes were the vb navbar looks TOTALLY different you may have to play with it to get it perfect but if your navbar looks kinda default it should work good.

also my question in the previous post still stands if anyone could help with that.

Same question from me

[RyanFabbro]

hey diretur, i think i solved this, i removed the plugin for the logout process. i havent really tested it excessively, but it seems to be working how were wanting it to.

with this, your user is on facebook decides to goto your site and hits login with facebook, and there good to go. now when they logout, and try to log back in (it normally requires re log into facebook also) but not now! =) it will just relog them right back in if they click the button.

like i said i havent tested it a whole lot just loged into facebook once and kept logging in and out of my site (about 5 times)
seems to work, but if you notice anything not working please let me know.

you can either use this attachment when you install

or just goto your plugin manager under YAFB find
Logout Process (includes/functions_login.php)
and disable only that plugin not the whole system

Hi Ryan, Long time mate, Finally I got some time to login and update my FB connect.. But this one is not working at all
And the I saw the addon you have made, for the avatar which was awesome, and boom also doesnt work! I tested it with a few boards... And not working at at all... so I think this there is a problem with this addon...

Anyways, I must give it up for the developers hard job and thanks for sharing, else this one is kinda waste of time installing!
