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

Features

• 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

Automatically befriend user's 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.

Etc.


I would suggest moving this mod (and the 3.7, 3.6 version of it) to the modification graveyard as there is zero support for it, and there is clearly another mod that duplicates it's functionality and then some.

Hi there.

Say I want to enforce a user profile field at registration, would it work at with this hack and where would it come in?

[Thulasi]

Hi

I am using this hack.
I have created a user id with facebook account.
When I try to do it again with friend's id, irrespective of different mail id and password,
it is logging in with previous user name.

Highly appreciate your help.

Thanks
Thulasi

Uninstalled this hack,
Quick relply was not working anymore, same problems as other users...

[Xanlamin]

I currently have 13 users who log into my forums with this mod and they have no issues using my forums at all, neither do the normal users. I even utilize 3 of the facebook accounts and can log in with one then log out and ligin with another with no issues.

The probles are caused by the optional templates edits needed for the news-feeds to work.
Do you use this part also?

[moonclamp]

Installed, and promptly uninstalled when I discovered it didn't map birthdates.

Is there any way to stop underage people from joining?

[fxfred]

I had this working over the last couple of days at http://www.fxfred.com and now the button loads and does nothing.

I have checked the facebook application itself and that is still there and has 4 users.

Why would it just stop?

I have just re-checked and it is working on every page EXCEPT the main page...now I am really lost any ideas would be appreciated
