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.

About your error of cut off page, please check the Log Viewer to see if there is anything useful. Thank you

Looking at the error log in my root directory, I get the following memory error:

PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 19456 bytes) in /home/.../public_html/fbb/hook_admin_options_print.php on line 37

Do you know what this means?

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

Some guys from previous pages just edit his templates and the button appears. So... member can login when they are viewing the portal page. I think you can do the same way to display the connect button.

Yeah, I will change the code to prevent the share button to be displayed in such cases

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)

Oh, try this one

UPDATE `[put_your_table_prefix_here]user`
SET fbuid = '0'
WHERE fbuid = ''

Hope this helps

Your server restricted the allowed memory size too much. Ask your hosting provider to increase the value a little bit (My Blue Host shared hosting has this limit set at 32MB).

Do you think that could be causing the problem of not accessing the user cp as well (when using PHP5)? Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it!

Yes, maybe. As you are looking on the log, you can find out if usercp.php got the error too

Nothing referring to usercp.php :/ There are a few others referring to functions_editor.php and class_bitfield_builder.php but I don't know enough of vBulletin to know what these scripts are really doing. Can you venture a guess??

File functions_editor is used to render editor (posting thread, replying, sending pm, sending vm,etc). File class_bitfield_builder is used for some AdminCP specific actions which render bitfield values or construct the array.
To solve the problem, just ask your hosting provider to increase the limit for you (to 32MB as I suggested). Or you can open the php.ini and edit it yourself. More information is available on... Google.com

Were you checking or reparing table? According to REPAIR TABLE document from MySQL, it can fix that corrupted file. If it doesn't work. Tell me
