Please post screen shots of the options in adminCP.

How can admins see what facebook account the member comes from?

After someone logs in with facebook/google/etc. the new member has the option to supply his/her email address. Is it possible to make this mandatory, before posting is allowed?

Also, they should be required to choose a password or they cannot login again after the first time.

One of my bugs, the inability to use the quick reply, was due to parts of the Facebook Connect mod still being in my templates. Cleared them out and we are all set.

However I cannot get the Google Connect to work outside of the vBulletin directory, such as in vBAdvanced. Facebook works fine from here but Google will not log into the forum.

The template edits will also not work in my third party script. I can edit by hand if I need to once I get the vBadvanced problem resolved.

This is awesome, I can not wait for this to go gold!

I have resolved all my issues by editing the .js plugin and putting in the full path to the vbnexus folder. I also edited the return path to point to the forum and now everything works in both my external scripts (eFiction and vbAdvanced)

I was able to get around the buttons not being displayed by creating a second plugin that assigned the navbar code to a variable. I put the variable where I wanted the buttons and now they show up fine in all areas.

The following Query will move the user ID and Facebook ID to the vBNexus tables. Please replace the vb_ with your database prefix if you have one.

INSERT INTO vb_vbnexus_nonvbuser (userid, nonvbid)
SELECT userid, fbuid
FROM vb_fbuser

The two mods do not like each other. Once you get the tables moved disable Facebook Connect and remove the navbar template changes.

I will update as I test more. So far it worked well with an existing user from Facebook Connect.


Update: Google button not working in vBadvanced. Looks like a path issue. The login is not displaying at all outside of vB, even though I am sending the Navbar and Footer templates. The second part is due to my setup, ill probably have to do some fancy plugin work to fix that one.


I also noticed that the new members are being put into the Registered Users group despite me setting the default user group. I believe this was listed in a previous post as a bug.

If you are using this query to move your users from the Facebook Connect mod you should also run the following query after the first one is done

INSERT INTO vb_vbnexus_facebookuser (uid)
SELECT nonvbid
FROM vb_vbnexus_nonvbuser
WHERE type = '1'

Again replace vb_ with your prefix. This will populate the Facebook settings with the defaults.

Make sure to run it right after the first query. If you run it after somebody has joined using Facebook it can cause duplication of the records and script errors.
