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.

Try re-uploading the files..or even re-download them and re-upload them. It looks like your're missing files or it can't find them.

[tr03bor]

Yep thats what im thinking, will try it again later.

[Lone Gunman]

whats the chmod supposed to be for the files? ive changed the settings on a couple and got rid of the errors i was getting, and have got it to go further through the login process, but i now i get a blank (all white) page after selecting whether or not to publish the story to fb (in login process)

IE = http://www.evisystems.org/forums/index.php#

Hell im confused.. but looks great, and the load botton and all works. haha

Yes, the button appears for me in Firefox, but it doesn't work.

It works for me in IE. Why won't it work in Firefox?

Seems like a great Idea but the editing part on a big forum like mine is too much work... damn... i think about it, once things like Exluding forums from being publsihed and other request are being taken into account....
