Facebook Connect
This add-on allows your guests and existing users to login with their Facebook account through Facebook Connect.

WORKS WITH 3.8!

Benefits of Facebook Connect
  • Users can simply login with their Facebook account without going through the registration process.
  • Increase user interaction and your traffic through Facebook notifications and news-feeds!
Features
Facebook users will be able to receive Facebook notifications when:
  • There is a reply to their thread or a thread that they're subscribing to
  • They receive a new PM
News-Feed will be published on to the user's wall when the user:
  • Logs in for the first time
  • Replies to a thread
  • Creates a new thread
Fetch user data from Facebook
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!

How to Upgrade From 2.0.0 to 2.0.1
  • Upgrade the product. (Import the product XML again and set overwrite to yes).
  • Update Feed Template IDs in the settings (make sure they are the same as at: FB Connect Options -> News-Feed Templates)
How to Upgrade From 2.0.1 to 2.0.2
See UPGRADE.html
  • Fixed the notification problem (notifications were sent to wrong people)
  • Login button will now be displayed on vbAdvanced pages
How to Upgrade From 2.0.2 to 2.0.3
See UPGRADE.html
  • Fixed the Facebook avatar displayed for the wrong people problem.
  • Added Facebook UID & Profile URL field to data map.
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.
Means that there is something wrong with your callback URL. Your callback URL must be where xd_receiver.htm is; so when you enter [callbackurl]/xd_receiver.htm into your browser you should see a blank page (not a 404 page not found error or anything else).

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.

After installation receiving this error message on all forum pages:

Warning: require_once([path]/includes/facebook/facebook.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/includes/functions.php(5595) : eval()'d code on line 124

Also have photoplog installed.

Any help would be great!

Installed on 3.8 but get this message whenever I try to reply to or create a post

The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 3 characters.

Any ideas?

Here is a suggestion for this mod:

Allow automatic registration on sign in. When a facebook member log into the forum with their facebook account the forum automatically registers them as a member.

You see if you allow facebook members to just login and post without being registered it would mean nothing for the growth of the forum. Can you add this option?

That's a great idea.

...

You do realize that's the whole point of this mod, right?

What do you mean? I was of the belief that this allows facebook members to login and post as guests. Correct me if I am wrong.

No, this allows users to register and login using their FaceBook account and allows existing members to integrate their existing account.

As long as the person has set the email setting on signup (or after via the User CP) then that address is perfectly valid and you can send emails via it. Any mail sent to it will relay from the application, to facebooks proxy and then to the email address Facebook have on record for that user

This. ^^

If this isn't part of the mod then it should be.
When facebook users come across the forum url from a link they should be able to login with their facebook ID and then an automatic forum profile matching their FB profile is established properly on the forum, with the very clear option to create a separate forum username should they not desire to use their fb name. They can edit their full forum profie when they get around to it.

I thought this was part of the mod anyway?

If not, can it be done?

Sounds tricky!
