Integration with vBulletin - Facebook Connect - Allow your users to login with their Facebook account (for 3.8)

Staff Note: Moved to Graveyard - this will never work now that the old style facebook authentication is no longer available.


Facebook Connect
This add-on allows your guests and existing users to login with their Facebook account through Facebook Connect.

There is NO NEED to upgrade or reinstall if you already installed this mod for 3.7

Upgrade to 2.0.6 so that users with the new super long IDs will be able to login.


This mod conflicts with PhotoPost vBGallery!
Quick fix:
Disable the following PhotoPost vBGallery plugins:

• Userinfo Merge
• Integrate Postbit Showthread

Benefits of Facebook Connect

• Users can simply login with their Facebook account without going through the registration process.
• Increase user interaction and your traffic through Facebook notifications and news-feeds!

Features
Facebook users will be able to receive Facebook notifications when:

• There is a reply to their thread or a thread that they're subscribing to
• They receive a new PM

News-Feed will be published on to the user's wall when the user:

• Logs in for the first time
• Replies to a thread
• Creates a new thread

Fetch user data from Facebook
Fetch data like name, location, profile picture and use it on your forums! (NOTE: Some data may not be available for some users)

Automatically befriend user's friends
If any of the user's friends are also registered on the forum, they will automatically be friends!

Professional Install/Upgrade/Support Services
Want this mod professionally installed? It's guaranteed to work on your forum! Download the archive and see INSTALL.html/UPGRADE.html for more details!

Troubleshooting
Server Requirements:
PHP 5

If you get an error:

The Facebook Connect cross-domain receiver URL http://www.SITEURL.com/xd_receiver.h...%220.699%22%7D must have the application's callback URL http://www.SITEURL.com/forums/ as a prefix. You can configure the callback URL in the application's settings.

Means that there is something wrong with your callback URL. Your callback URL must be where xd_receiver.htm is; so when you enter [callbackurl]/xd_receiver.htm into your browser you should see a blank page (not a 404 page not found error or anything else).

If you get a continues this means there is a javascript error. Make sure you've done all the template edits correctly (especially footer & navbar). Clear your cache and reload the page.

If nothing happens when you click the Facebook Connect button make sure your callback url domain is the same as you forum domain (the one set in your forum settings) - more specifically make sure that there is a www (or isn't) in both domains.


Many more features may be implemented in the future so keep checking for updates.

Anyone else having this issue? I know Photopost is projecting a 2.5 release any day now but who knows if that has anything to do with it.

It's conflicting with Photopost for some reason!

Hi wonder if someone can help me, I have installed the Mod as per the instructions, and when I enable the mod I get this written out to the screen:

query_first(" SELECT fbuid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "fbuser WHERE userid = " . $userid . " LIMIT 1 "); return intval($user['fbuid']); } function fetch_fbuser_info($query) { require_once(DIR .

","; $vbuids[] = $fbuser['userid']; } } $fbuids = rtrim($fbuids, ','); $fbuserinfo = $vbulletin->session->vars['fbuserinfo']; if ($vbulletin->facebook == null) $vbulletin->facebook = new Facebook($vbulletin->options['fbconnect_apikey'], $vbulletin->options['fbconnect_secret']); try { $fbuser = $vbulletin->facebook->api_client->users_getInfo($fbuids, 'name, first_name, last_name, affiliations, pic, pic_small, pic_square'); for ($i = 0; $i < count($fbuser); $i++) $fbuserinfo[$vbuids[$i]] = $fbuser[$i]; $vbulletin->session->set('fbuserinfo', $fbuserinfo); } catch(FacebookRestClientException $ex) { } //print_r($vbulletin->session->vars['fbuserinfo']); } function set_fb_data(&$target, $userid = '', $profilefield = false) { require_once(DIR .

Any ideas. Seems to show in "Showthread" and also within "FB Connect Options >Data Mapping".

Yep, as long as they grant the 'facebook' application the right to email and send them facebook notifications (which is done at signup or through usercp if they choose no at signup) then all the emails that normal users will be sent to their email listed in facebook via the facebook mail proxy

again, only if they have accepted to recive notifications, but they wont recive a mail
they will recive notification on facebook.

I got my facebook registrants in a different usergroup, cause they should
not be generated on a mailing list, this is will annoy the post server.
