YAFB - Yay! Another Facebook Bridge Details »»
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This is not just a "port" for vBulletin 4 of this modification, this is the next version of the modification which support both vBulletin 4 and vBulletin 3 family
IMPORTANT: FILE ISSUES HERE: http://code.google.com/p/vbulletinfacebook/issues/list (require a Google Account) Yay! Another Facebook Bridge 3.3.2 Tested to work with vBulletin 3.7.x and 3.8.x (3.6.x requires some manual edit, contact me for detail instruction) Tested to work with vBulletin 4.0 (use different .xml import file) Please note: this product requires PHP5. If you get weird error messages, please check if you PHP version is still 4 (which is very old and you should change to PHP5 as soon as possible). Also, MySQL 5 is strongly recommended [WHAT IS IT?] There are many vBulletin - Facebook bridge out there but installing is always the problem for most of forum owner. So I decided to build this product from scratch and provide you the ability to install this Facebook Bridge into your forum in 10 minutes. The detail install instruction can be found below (under the Feature section). A few technical notes: This product uses Facebook Connect to maintance connection between vBulletin forums and complicated (and awesome) Facebook servers. All most everything is automatically done by the script, even the Administrators don't need to do any manual editing (yeah, I'm talking about manual templates editing, you WON'T need to edit templates each time you implement a new style). Once again, most of everything is options which can be enabled/disabled via AdminCP or UserCP interface. All possible type of caching is use to improve performance and reduce heavy PHP load on server side or javascript load on client side. Well, it's quite a long paragraph for introducing. Let's make it work! [SEE IT IN ACTION] Screencast: 1. Installation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ComjeipReE4 2. Connecting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7m85O_iX70 3. Posting and Notifications: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBwwiffLvJ8 Demo board: vBulletin 3.8: http://daohoangson.com/vb38 vBulletin 4: http://daohoangson.com/vb40 Authentication Username: demo. Password: demo. [MAIN FEATURE] *** Damn easy to install! 1. Loaded with long list of actions/notifications: posting thread, posting reply, rating thread, sending pm, sending visitor message, uploading image (avatar/profile picture), uploading pictures, comment on pictures. This list are designed to be expandable easily later by me or other people who loves to develope this product (well, if you do, contact me right now!) 2. Ability to quick register with Facebook credential but Administrator can disable this function via AdminCP. Facebook proxied email addresses are handled completely and vBulletin can send email without any problems (of course, the member must grant the Email extend permission). There is a setting in AdminCP to disallow Facebook proxied email addresses also for boards that need email explicitly 3. Ability to auto login with Facebook session (Administrator can turn this on or off in AdminCP and members can enable or disable this feature on their accounts either) 4. Other abilities: Display a profile block on vBulletin member page. Display a wall tab/box on Facebook profile page. Synchronize avatar from Facebook. 5. [AdminCP] Administrator can "edit" template bundle easily. Actually the old template will be deactivated, the new template will be registered and then all action associated with the old template with be updated with the new template bundle id. Oops, why you need to care about all of it? I did it for you already! Just go the the editing page and click Edit. Yay! All done 6. [AdminCP] Staffs can manage connected users and see basic information about them (including granted permissions) 7. [AdminCP] Administrator can decide to: migrate connected users from other products to YAFB, restrict private forums from being posted to Facebook, view detail log of YAFB in action, send notifications to connected users *. [Experimental] I have added a fun feature that generate the Fans List, the photo will be posted to new thread with friend tagged (if available). The main purpose of this bonus feature is to demostrate the ability of the bridge. If you have an idea, contact me and I will implement it if I can *. [Experimental] Friend Inviting functionality is added. Access from UserCP > Facebook Bridge > Invite Friends [CHANGE LOG] Version 3.3.2 (released on Jun 10, 2010): Register On-the-fly issue with vBulletin 3.8.4 fixed Version 3.3.1 (released on Jun 08, 2010): Bug fixes and Migration for vBulletin 4.0.3 Version 3.3 (released on Apr 06, 2010): Auto login related features added. User experience reached a new higher level! [NEW INSTALLATION] *. Upload all files/folders in folder "upload" into your forum root (Please upload before importing product) 1. Import Product: 1.1.

Below is the full list of known confict and action taken to resolve the issue No Spam (Human Verification): Temporary disabled during Facebook registration vMail (Email Verification): Temporary disabled during Facebook registration [OTHER PLUGINS/PRODUCTS] I have developed an easy to use options/permissions system that allow other plugins/products to add it's actions into this bridge and let the forum members experience a whole new era of connections. I did a small demostration with my kBank System (which is a money system with award/thank functionality and a useful hiding feature) and it runs pretty well. If you are interested in testing kBank in action with YAFB, contact me. If you are a developer who wants to integrate your plugins/products with this Bridge, contact me either!

Not a programmer at all just a marketing guy that likes programming but I noticed that it was calling the hook file from a different subdirectory then what it was in in my server...
Not sure why or how it happened but the FBB file directory did not copy over all the way so I just recopied all the files and sent it over and it appears to be back up and running... I will check it out TY.. I knew it was me and not you!

I just transfered over from Facebook Connect! What a difference~ TY for your work and your abilities!!!
Anyways - With FB connect I was able to put a link in postbit with an image right below where users would sign in to have a little FB Connect button there rather then just having it on the NAV Bar... I forgot where to go to find that line of code to change it and what would you recommend I change it to so that I can have a link from there that takes them to the FB Sing up configuration... Again!!! TY TY TY TY TY TY I can not say it enough... The way you allow the ability to transfer users that were once singed up with FB Connect to your solution is spectacular! I thought I was going to loose all those connects!!! TY

And what code I can put there to allow it to show up if user is not Connected with YAFB... I have included a pic of what I am referring to and here is the site I am referring to... I know it is not your theme so you dont have to answer but any help would be so greatly appreciated! http://allinjac.com :up:

Thanks for the great plugin!
I found one issue though. If you have extra custom profile field (for example with some human verification question that is visible only during registration), users will not be able to register through fb registration form as that field is not present there but is required to continue. And one feature request that would be very useful: Add an ability to be able to link facebook account to EXISTING forum account once logged in through facebook connect. For example on that page that prompts what you would like to do next - rigister a new account linked to fb or login, login should forward to another form that asks you for existing username and password (instead of saying your username is not found). Thanks.

I have an active testing board and my members can not post a new thread... I am sure it is something I did but the message says... Your message is too short and you are not able to do anything after that... It resets your message back to nothing and takes you from quick reply to the full reply window... DOES NOT DO IT ON MY ACCOUNT THOUGH! Only accounts that were activated TODAY! Activated directly with YAFB not using the Syncronization from FB Connect... THANKS For your help! I am sure it is something I did... Jeremiahi
