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.

I am getting the same error but only on the main page e.g. if you go to http://www.fxfred.com/faq.php and try it from there, it works fine

Does anyone know what this might be?

To all those with the issue of the button not working on the first page only

I removed my facebook fans box and it works fine now.

I have checked some of your sites and you have the same so remove the fans code and see if that works.

What I need to know is how do we add the fans code back to the template without it knocking out the Facebook connect ability?

It just worked for me when I tried, perhaps you have a script blocker or something interfering with the pop-up?

First off i'd like to indicate that i hate IE with a passion.

But anyways... i have a template issue with facebook connect being in my login box. If you look on my website using IE you'll see that it f***s with the login box and offsets the corners etc... but if you look at my website using firefox or any other f***ing browser it looks fine! Check it out at World's Largest Forum How can i fix this template issue?

Help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

Approximately how long will it take to install this, with all the optional features as well?
