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

• 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!

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.

Still broken:
I have since created a third Facebook account with a separate Email address. Then when I went to the forums and used FB Connect -for the first time with this account- it already associated me with another account (not mine!)
Where can I look to fix this?

Edit: As mentioned before, there is another user seeing the same problem. Has this mod taken in to account "new" Facebook IDs with their longer length?

Just FYI...

I've noticed I've been getting quite a few spammers since I installed this mod.

A lot of spammers. I'm thinking about removing this hack it's getting so bad. Is there a way I can make facebook connect users have to use the image verification process before their account is registered?

FYI to all that are reading this thread, there is zero reason to be using this mod anymore. Yay! Another Facebook Bridge is everything this modification is and considerably more, with support and an easier installation:

Facebook new account creation
Facebook to existing account linking
Non-Facebook email requirement
Etc.


I would suggest moving this mod (and the 3.7, 3.6 version of it) to the modification graveyard as there is zero support for it, and there is clearly another mod that duplicates it's functionality and then some.
