Integration with vBulletin - Facebook Connect - Update for Facebook PHP SDK (v.3.0.0)

I rewrote this plugin using ideas from sllik's mod.

//Edited - The whole history of this Addon on my board

Used and failed on vBulletin 3.8.6 LP1 + vBulletin 3.8.7 LP3.

Let me start saying that this is one of my Favorit Addons. I was really happy for it because there wasnt any other Facebook Addons or Bridges for vB 3.8. And I already had a few members from Facebook that was working fine in the beginning.

The Author needs to take the responsibility of the failure and the damage it has done to many forums including my own. Luckily my forum is not damaged in a bad way. But we had members who could abuse other peoples Facebook and User accounts in my forum. I was fast enough to remove it befor it did any harm. Let me also include and say that I reinstalled this plugin more than 3 times and it failed everytime. And every time members were logged into a different users account.

I gave it one last shot and Installed it for the 4th time on a new and clean forum. Then it happened again. I was logged into another users account and then it was about time to contact vBulletin.org and the Developer. Since that incident I have time after time replied on this Topic to let others know about this issue and tried to contact to Author. But with no luck. The Author never replied. If you go looking back a few pages you will see my earlier replies. I just dont want this to happen to any other forum owner out there. As a developer and vbulletin user i feel its my duty to let others know. And I believe in this case the Developer has not been able to take contact to users who have had issues. He didnt even comment.

There is a huge problem with this Addon because of the changes made on Facebook. So hopefully I am crossing my fingers after this to hear from him!

This plugin is not working properly! After sometime your users will be able to Login to eachothers account and also use eachothers facebook! There is a huge problem with this Addon because of the changes made on Facebook.

I have tried to contact the developer more than 3 times and I havnt heard a single word from him!

THUMBS DOWN, and BAD REPUTATION!

Hello,

Some people have asked if there is a security flaw in this mod- one customer has reported using this mod allows users to sometimes log into another users account- obviously if true that is a very bad situation.

However this is not a security risk we can see like an SQL Exploit in the code- we have no way to verify this.

You must do your own research for all mods before you install them- we make no guarantee they are safe.

It would be great if the mod author could address the security questions raised but it is ultimately up to you whether you wish to install or keep the mod installed.

Finally. Thanks to BirdOPrey5, for the comment.

I can see that the Developer has finally taken actions and wrote:

@s_cocis >> "Not Supported!!" >> As you can read "The Facebook API has since changed" >> Not only The Facebook Codes has changed, but we all have had huge issues with this addong. Reading the latest comments will save your forum for trouble, issues or even from being hacked...
