Integration with vBulletin - YAFB - Yay! Another Facebook Bridge

The add-on has been updated to reflect Facebook new policy starting October 1st (read more here). Basically this is a maintenance update for user of this add-on from the past. The add-on now supports vBulletin 3.8.x only. In this new version, there are only the basic features: register and login (some simple sharing too). It keeps old settings so you don't need to re-configure.

How to update (this is important):
1. Disable the add-on in AdminCP
2. Upload files in the package (make sure you disable the add-on before uploading)
3. Import the xml in the package, choose Yes to rewrite.
4. Re-enable the add-on
5. Done

Just remember to disable the add-on before uploading files and you will be okie.

Hmm, I'm not sure what you changed in your template but from your screenshot, I think you expect to display a "Recent Facebook" tab in the left column (and in your case, it's the only column). I have just edit the MEMBERINFO template and put $template_hook[profile_right_last] right below $template_hook[profile_left_last] then... bump... The tab appeared! (You can see there is another block on the right as I just copied the hook, you should moved it instead to prevent duplication)

You may want to list php5 as a prerequisite for this mod, in case there are others having similar syntax issues.

Well, I will build up a PHP4 server and test on it. Thank you

And i think the way the Templates are used in ACP are confusing. Maybe you can make it more clear for us?

At this Time i cant find out what "Blank" and "Testing" Templates are for. And i miss the Templates for all other Facebookmessages.

Oops, by default, the product share the same template bundle for posting reply and posting thread (the posting reply only use the one-line template while the posting thread use both of them, config via UserCP)

What really makes you confused? Tell me so I will explain to you

About "Blank": it's the template used when something called the new stream publish API but failed (usually because of missing publish_stream extend permission). In that case, the product will automatically fallback to display a feed form to let our members publish the feed manually. Because the new stream publish API doesn't use template bundles but the display feed form procedure need one so the product need a "Blank" to fill it on

About "Testing": You can see a link in the UserCP where member can test the connection. That's where this template bundle is used

The Fans List actually contains your fans because they are the people who most reply to your threads And yeah, it's not that simple Friend list at all

About the profile block. It's highly chance that privacy settings prevented us to fetch information. Try using another Facebook account and tell me the result, okie? In case it still doesn't work, you can turn on the DEBUG mode and... Well, if it doesn't work, give me your forum URL and I will come by and check it out

Thanks for looking into the profile problem for me, I had tried duplicating the hook you were using as well as changing the hook_location just incase it was being used in multiple places but it still didn't show up..

but..

I've realised why, it shows the recent wall posts you've made and just that, it doesn't show the wall posts from apps and that others have left on your wall, if you get a lot of app wall posts and don't have a recent wall post you've made yourself then the tab will not show, so really it was just a misunderstanding about how the profileblock was working causing it to vanish on me.

Would it be possible for app wall posts to also be shown?

---

Also testing the 1.9 landing page (facebook.php) on my admin account that I connected to my facebook account, it works great when you click login, but if you click register it wants me to register again it should give an already registered warning, or maybe login with a notice that you are already registered so don't need to do so again

Thanks for the work, support.. once payday comes round at the end of the month I'll be donating

Well you are the boss, just a bit weird having the tab coming and going when the users wall gets flooded with app posts, maybe a "no recent wall posts" notice so the tab always has some content and doesn't vanish? or an option for what is shown from the wall in the facebook tab would be even better
