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.

Hi,

I read somewhere earlier in this thread that the original coder of this facebook connect add-on is no longer servicing or supporting this mod?

I'm hoping to install this mod and will appreciate if someone skillful and good with support can help me do it. i'm willing to pay for the service.

pls PM me if you could help me? thanks

I think you should wait until the coder comes back and verifies that. Second hand accounts of what a coder is doing based on whether they got help or not is always just speculation at best.

I have setup a new facebook application, turned off my forum, etc. Upon attempting to add the cpnav_fbconnect.xml, I am presented with: Invalid File Specified.

I am on Vbulletin 3.8.2 with Php 5.

[wolfyman]

I'm amazed that I'm the first to have a 500 error... am I?

Everything appears to be working, until I choose a nickname and click to continue. Rather than logging me in, I get a

"The website cannot display the page
HTTP 500
Most likely causes:
The website is under maintenance.
The website has a programming error.
"

The cpnav file is part of the Upload folder. You only Import the product XML through your Admin CP. Not every XML in the ZIP file.

Your Mysql database is corrupted, that has nothing to do with the app itself.

Incorrect key file for table '/tmp/#sql_2e8e_1.MYI'; try to repair it

You need to try to repair the database itself.

You need to try to repair the database itself.

vbnewfbdatamap Check Status: OK
vbnewfbdatamap Optimize Status: Table is already up to date
vbnewfbuser Check Status: OK
vbnewfbuser Optimize Status: Table is already up to date



I have run the repair various times.

And this is the only DB error Im getting from the forum.


Any ideas?

Thanks!
