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

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.

EDIT
ok so i found http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/...sizable_IFrame this page. on the canvas page of the facebook app setup you can specify a resizeable iframe instead of a "Smartsize"

There are some details on this page on how to modify some of the code to make itr fit the content size.

But i am no coder. Can anyone who knows their way around code take a look and see if there is a simple one liner that can change this.

In your file look for this and play around with the width and height.. I think that is what you are looking for..

 
createHiddenDiv : function() {
      if (document.getElementById('FB_HiddenContainer') == null) {
        document.write('<div id="FB_HiddenContainer" '
                       + 'style="position:absolute; top:-10000px; left:-10000px; width:0px; height:0px;" >'
                       + '</div>');

• The script tag for http://static.ak.facebook.com/js/api...eLoader.js.php should be placed inside the <body> tag, not inside <head>.
• It is almost essential that the FB.canvasclient.starttimertosizetocontent() and related code be placed towards the end of other visual HTML markup inside <body> for resizing to work at all.
• For an IFRAME app, make sure you don't have height set to 100% in either the body or html styles or the resizing won't work.
• If you are seeing an initial scroll when the page is first loaded it is because the auto resize code is not being completed before the page is rendered. To avoid this issue, you can just explicitly specify CSS style "overflow:hidden" on the body tag in the iFrame.

In the install instructions... "Go to the Canvas tab and set the Canvas Page URL" (to whatever you want)....

What is this "Canvas tab"? I'm looking for.

There seems to be a conflict between this mod and the Social bookmarking navbar mod (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ight=sharethis)... has anyone found a workaround for this?

The navbar mod creates its own Navbar template. i have attenpted to add the code to that file and have failed miserably :erm:
