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.

I am now getting this error as well. REPAIR does nothing to help it. phpMyAdmin is also showing the error...nothing is correcting it.

I tried this on my Swedish board... i get some errors in the facebook feed with the swedish swedish characters...

IJ det n姯n annan 䮠jag som 嫥r ner med Turkish Airlines fr宠Stockholm till Mumbai den 16 november?

It should be:

?r det n?gon annan ?n jag som ?ker ner med Turkish Airlines fr?n Stockholm till Mumbai den 16 november?

My board runs on charset ISO-8859-1

Hi,

I'm experimenting character encoding from diffrent charset to UTF-8 (which works best with Facebook) and I will update to you soon.
About the templates and phrases, as I remember now, everything text is phrases, you can do a search in your Phrase Manager (in AdminCP). Thank you

Couldnt you just utf8-encode the strings you send and recieve to/from facebook?

iconv works for me, just tested it on hook_threadratedata_postsave.php
Added $message = iconv('ISO-8859-2','UTF-8',$message); in line 51 and
$notification = iconv('ISO-8859-2','UTF-8',$notification); in 80.
Now rating is properly rendered. Remember, my forum runs ISO-8859-2.
There are 32 hooks only, so doing it on my own every release is not wise solution.
Will wait for author feedback.

Regards

This function can only convert string from ISO-8859-1, I intended to use mbstring library or iconv

Hi,

If you are a coder and open fbb/functions.php you will find out a function named "fb_encoding_to_Facebook" I intended to use to convert encoding. Hmm, but it give the wrong result so for most of the functions, I commented out the encoding part. But as you confirmed that iconv works, I will provide you with a new functions.php soon. You test it and tell me the result, okie?

Regards,

PS: Yeah, 42 hooks with manual editing is definitely not a wise way to do this Let the developer (me, haha) do his work!

Okie :-) Just uncommented three calls to fb_encoding_to_Facebook (replaced mbconvert with iconv), and nothing changed. Still titles are truncated at first polilsh diacritic mark in shorts sent to wall.

Oh oh, I sent you a PM. Did you read it? The new functions.php script is sent

What about automatically bringing across some Facebook details? I like to collect users first and last names but don't really want these on the register page. Would you be able to set something up in the admin section so we can link some details from Facebook to specific profile fields.

Haven't installed this yet as I was trying your demo board listed in the first post and I like the looks of it so far but I'm running into one issue. I enter my username, password and email to register and I keep getting this error on your demo board:

You must enter at least 5 characters for the intro.

I can't get past this point to see if how it works with facebook and to adjust user settings.
