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.

Hi,

You are running PHP4. This product requires PHP5 to be able to run. Please ask your hosting provider to upgrade your PHP version. FYI: PHP4 is very old now, in order to take advantage of PHP features, you should use PHP5 as soon as possible

Oh, it's weird when the Manager lists all of your users. Not sure what's wrong honestly but the connected users are the users who have an associated Facebook userid. That's why when you send notifications, only 6 hundred of your members get the notification

Yes, logically, notifications can be sent in that situations but I turned that off. If you want it, I will add a setting in AdminCP in the next version.

how does the reclamation process work ? Where do I put the reclamation url as described in your steps ?

PS : Forgot to say - great mod!

I agree. Theres two things, when I start using PHP5 (throught htaccess) I get the following screenshot when I try to view/change the settings - the page is cut off, I don't see the full settings page. Also, the other thing is that when I'm using PHP5 I am not able to get to the User CP or a users page. Is this an error in my installation? vBulletin should work with PHP5 right?

vBulletin works well with PHP5 (and from sources that I heard, vBulletin 4 only supports PHP5)
About your error of cut off page, please check the Log Viewer to see if there is anything useful. Thank you

If you put an URL to the Reclamation URL, everytime member tries to deactivate their account, they will receive an email notifying that they deactivated their Facebook Profile and at the bottom of the email, there will be a list of reclamtion urls from connected applications.

In our case, member will receive a link to our reclamation system. It will then check if it's a valid reclamation request (base on several key/secret/encoding stuff). If it's good, user will be provided with their password to their account on vBulletin (the password is newly generated at the time of reclamation process, which means the user can keep clicking the URL to get new password, in case they forget their password)

I hope this helps

Wanted to say thank you much for such a great mod....I wanted to ask a question as I dont know if this is a bug or not but wanted to see if there is a way to correct this..

Currently I have enabled that Share It feature which shows up in every post, this is good BUT the issue is that the Share It button show not show up in hidden or restricted forums as that feature should follow the same rules as the other posting options that are restricted in those forums..

I also wanted to see how I can get some intergration with vbportal such as having the login with facebook button show up in the login area on my portal.

Thank for the great work

Ok I think maybe I made a mistake in the importing process. What is the default value in the mysql table supposed to be for each user? Oh and I really like how you listen to feedback and improve the mod quickly, this is how all mod developers should work! Thanks For all your hard WORK!!!

I think I found the issue the default values for your tables in the database for a user NOT using FB connect are 0:blank:NULL (for fbuid:fbssk:fboptions) I have for all the users I moved over blank:NULL:0. Any chance that is causing the error? If so could you halp me fix it by giving me a query to fix it (I'm REALLY bad with mysql)

Does anyone have any idea what can cause this?
