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.

Currently, there is no tool to help you move automatically. But you can do the manual way: disable Facebook Connect, install YAFB, use your old API key, config everything, tell your members to go to YAFB's setting page (profile.php?do=fbb) and click Save Changes. Hope things go well

I have a couple question or possibly a feature request.

I have this mod installed and works good except there are some major concerns because this mod will currently allow you to feed data over to facebook regardless if the forum is a restricted forum or not. Currently like many other forum owners I have hidden forums that us mods will post within but I dont want posts/threads from those forums to feed over to facebook, Can I request a feature in this mods control panel to disclude certain forums.

Also another request is to clean up the fans page... whats happening is some show avatars some dont even though they do have avatars, also may give the admin or users an option to either list fans (which is members that most replied to your threads) or to show your friends list instead which is cleaner I think..

The restricted forums request are in the queue now. Don't worry. FYI: in forums which can be viewed by guest, the publishing options are automatically turn off (but yes, the member can turn on manually)

About the fan page, I'm still working on it Will improve it soon

Sorry all you guys, the last couple of days are damn busy and I will be not available until Oct 4th so... You can keep testing and leave your feedback here or send me PMs. I will take a look asap

I also have a planed features list, check it out and suggest more as you needed

1. Allow member to add a box to their profiles (or a wall tab)
2. Allow publishing news feed to a specific page automatically. Control via AdminCP
3. Restrict forums list (for private forums)
4. Working with Album/Picture feature from vBulletin Core

Cya later

Very good features mrpaint, please also include:

1. Integration with Video-Directory Remixed, Allow to publish Video Feeds on Facebook Wall when they Add New Video or Comment on a Video, just like they do with New Thread and New Reply.
2. vBulletin Visitor Message Feed, Allow to publish on Facebook Profile Wall.

Thanks.

The only issue there is that the other mod creates a random string for a password rather then have the user provide one. So those users can't login without hitting the FB connect button. I though I would try logging in with the button of the old mod then trying to set it up with the new mod (have both running at once), but I got a fatal error when I tried. Any ideas how to move the users?

Would it be possible to create custom notifications? Like to be able to send a notification out to all your FB connect members to tell them something? For example send a notification out to everyone saying that the forum will be unavailable for updates at x time?
