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.

Sillk...I meant to post this https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...32#post1768032 here.

I'm having the same problem as TriMe did when he installed this mod and already had the FB contact grabber. It has something to do with having to FB libraries installed and you have to comment out something on one of them but I can't figure it out. Can you please tell him what you did for TriMe so I can fix mine too.

Thanks in Advance.

thats my opinion - I have 250 monthly users now so I see this as invaluable and because its so new, you have to cut some slack - its something someone made for free!
i'm glad sillk is still maintaining the mod and finding out why some of the features aren't working. again, he is doing it for free and we have to realize that.

I hope some of the major problems are fixed soon. I'm very excited about having a facebook presence.

hey gang,
I'm posting here, too - same problems and issues, didn't realize they were affecting everyone since the FB update . .I'm following this 3.7 thread and the 3.8 thread, as I have it installed on both, different forums ... looking forward to a patch or update that will resolve it.

hey there can you possibly explain this in a bit more detials for dummies so I can get it patched until its fixed? thanks in advance!

Just do a search in the Facebook Connect templates for the term FB.Connect.showFeedDialog

Anywhere that appears in the templates replace it with the term null

Rather than posting a one line story this will make it post a short story, a short story is the one line story proceeded by a comment from you (Which you get to choose when publising the story). You can ofc leave the comment blank and it will post like a normal short story.

I would suggest you guys disable the news-feeds in your vbconnect settings (set Enable Feeds to No) for now.
Seems to be working for me. When I post the thread appears as a story on facebook.
