Integration with vBulletin - Facebook Connect - Update for Facebook PHP SDK (v.3.0.0)

I rewrote this plugin using ideas from sllik's mod.

Not Supported!!
This code is not supported. The Facebook API has since changed. Only provided for open source purposes ... feel free to modify at your own risk.

Also getting blank pages in Internet Explorer

Connecting an existing account to FB and posting to the wall seems to be working just fine.

However, when I log out and view my site as a guest would, I'm not seeing any Facebook connect button. From what I've gathered from this thread, I should see a button when not logged in which allows me to register using my FB credentials, right?

Edit - oh, and the Friends tab on my profile is suddenly empty.

Is it possible to change what it's posted on facebook users wall?

Like for ie: "A quick reply ..."

See the Phrases section at the very end of the INSTALL.html doc.

Try changing the "Check Authorization Scope in PHP" setting to no. I wrote some YUI javascript that attaches to the submit button ... I'm guessing these users have older browsers that can't understand the YUI.

Yes, the connect button should show to any guest or logged out user. Did you modify the fbconnect_button template? Could it be a browser cache problem? If you view the source HTML is there a images/facebook/fbconnect.png reference? Did you place fbconnect.png in the right directory?

See the fbconnect-button-logic.txt for more info.

Friend count was a bug ... fixed in 3.0.3.

I didn't modify any of your templates - just followed the instructions exactly.

Viewing the source, there's no reference to fbconnect.png at all.

It shows up perfectly when I'm logged in; everything else seems to be working OK. Just nothing when visiting as a guest. Nothing on register.php, either.

See the fbconnect-button-logic.txt for more info.

I understand what's supposed to happen. Only.... it's not.

The instructions say to put the button after <if condition="$show['member']">

I'm not an expert, but if that's a conditional of some kind, is it perhaps telling it not to display?

Yesterday i cleaned up cookies, and today after loging in i (using vbulletin login) the facebook connect image never shows up as a connected user

Does this possibly happen just on the newthread, newreply or showthread pages?

Put '$fbconnect_button' above <if condition="$show['member']", else it won't show to guests.
