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

• 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!

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 hate to be negative but facts are facts...

I was getting the same problem and so were lots of other people...

NO answers or solutions have been provided yet...

Although this is a good product when working it is NOT working so if you want a solution that works I would HIGHLY recommend another product for you until they get this one working right!

If you are on version 3.x you can still use the NEW version 4.0 that he has as it works on 3.8.x and 4.0.x

Amazing support and a product that works awesome...

There is also a place in the solution to automatically invite friends from Facebook to YOUR SITE!!!

I was in the same position as you last week and I was frustrated like hell but since I made the switch it is all good...

Also,

He even put in a migration tool once you get his product!!!

So it will take the members you have in Facebook Connect and MIGRATE them over to the new and much better YAFB!!!

Sorry for the developer to place this kind of post here but he has not been online in some time and also has given us a product that does not work at this time...

Once and if he gets it running it does have a lot of features and did work well while it lasted it is just the new product has TONS more features and availablities!!!

Go check it out you will like it for sure!!!

NO!

The version for 4.0 works on 3.8x

Do not install the 3.8 version you will be able to I AM DOING IT! Install the 4.0 version as it works and is BACKWARDS compatible...

Hope this helps!!!
