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:

Code:
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.

Facebook have been pushing alot of Connect Updates recently and they seem to have a habit of breaking it every time. They usually sort it within a few hours

Here we go again with this facebook garbage.

I'll see if I can get a heads up on what's up on their end, but this is really getting a bit ridiculous. 3rd time this week I've had issues with their setup.

This (again) is a facebook issue, not a plugin issue, though I agree completely that it's getting more than annoying now.

Actually it's not.
Facebook has been loading rather well for me, throughout the past couple hours. Sure, the apps aren't, but that's because of their platform screwing up.

Ive had to disable it.

People who were already members and then linked their facebook account havent been able to post since facebook has been down.

They have been able to log in but when they click to reply to a post nothing happens.

Would be a big coincidence if this isnt related to Facebook being down.

It's back up now.
Unfortunately, this is what you get when you rely on external content. If the content goes down, you're screwed.

You can work around this by removing the post edits, but then you don't get the notification of new posts via facebook.

Like I said, remove the post edits and you'll be fine.

This has nothing to do with the mod except that it's connected to facebook, and EVERY post / thread , whether the person is registered on facebook or not has to go through this connection. If the connection can't be made, nothing can be done, now , can it?
