Facebook Connect - Allow your users to login with their Facebook account (for 3.8)
Developer Last Online: Dec 2011
Staff Note: Moved to Graveyard - this will never work now that the old style facebook authentication is no longer available.
Facebook Connect This add-on allows your guests and existing users to login with their Facebook account through Facebook Connect. There is NO NEED to upgrade or reinstall if you already installed this mod for 3.7 Upgrade to 2.0.6 so that users with the new super long IDs will be able to login. This mod conflicts with PhotoPost vBGallery! Quick fix: Disable the following PhotoPost vBGallery plugins:
Benefits of Facebook Connect
Facebook users will be able to receive Facebook notifications when:
Fetch data like name, location, profile picture and use it on your forums! (NOTE: Some data may not be available for some users) Automatically befriend user's friends If any of the user's friends are also registered on the forum, they will automatically be friends! Professional Install/Upgrade/Support Services Want this mod professionally installed? It's guaranteed to work on your forum! Download the archive and see INSTALL.html/UPGRADE.html for more details! Troubleshooting Server Requirements: PHP 5 If you get an error: Code:
The Facebook Connect cross-domain receiver URL http://www.SITEURL.com/xd_receiver.h...%220.699%22%7D must have the application's callback URL http://www.SITEURL.com/forums/ as a prefix. You can configure the callback URL in the application's settings. If you get a continues this means there is a javascript error. Make sure you've done all the template edits correctly (especially footer & navbar). Clear your cache and reload the page. If nothing happens when you click the Facebook Connect button make sure your callback url domain is the same as you forum domain (the one set in your forum settings) - more specifically make sure that there is a www (or isn't) in both domains. Many more features may be implemented in the future so keep checking for updates. Show Your Support

Ok, I am a new vB owner and I am loving it so far. So, I follow the setup instructions to the "T" for FBC (2.0.5) to start working (template edits and all). Everything appears to be working from a cursory view; I see the FB icon below the login box and when I click it the FB api kicks in and I get the FB login (I haven't gone any further than this yet) - Yes I did all the FB setup per the instructions too!
The question I have is, when in FB Connect Options->Data Mapping->Map Facebook data, only the following vB fields are available in the dropdown to map: Biography Location Interest Occupation Profile Picture Avatar Yet on the Facebook drop down there are : Facebook UID Name Last Name First Name Facebook Profile URL Profile Picture Small Profile Square Profile I know in the instructions there should be some field mapping. First what fields should I be mapping, second does vB have all the appropriate fields and third, how do I add fields to match FB. Thanks Andrej770 Great Mod Silk - donation coming! |

I clicked the Connect With Facebook button, clicked the link to login with my existing user name, it logged me in, then I made a test post and it reported it on Facebook. The only thing I didn't see was a post on Facebook saying that I joined, but that may be because I had joined already with a different user name on the forum. Great Mod! |

I would like to reinstall this.
Is it safe to say that the latest update fixed some of the main issues people reported? |

I get an error at Step 5 of the setup

I think it maybe because my host enforces firewall rules Does this sound feasible? Could somebody help and tell me what DNS name FB Connect tries to connect to Thanks VJ |

I tried it again using the fbConnect button and when I posted a new thread it actually brought up a dialogue to post a message to facebook. That never came up before. Thanks for the 2.05 fix!
