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.

Once again, here is the demo board: http://daohoangson.com/vb38/ you can come and check it out. Some must-check features:

1. Register with Facebook (and then login with Facebook)
2. Playing around with enabling and disabling options (yeah, it's kinda relaxing)
3. Display profile block in profile page (member.php?u=x)
4. Posting thread/reply and get it published to your stream
5. Posting reply to an appropriate thread and comment auto-added to the corresponding Facebook post
6. Rating a thread is equal to clicking the Like button! You can even share the post via news feed
7. Receive PM and get notification in Facebook
8. Upload avatar/profile image and fullsize image uploaded to Facebook
9. Synchronizing Avatars. In the demo board, the cache timeout is set to 120 seconds. That value is pretty low but I think it's enough to demostrate the feature. Make sure you won't set it that low in your boards
10. Uploading pictures and posting comment

There are some screenshots for you to see right below. Enjoy your stay here
More screenshots are available in the post #240

I have a couple questions before I install.

What about custom fields I require on register? Like user intro, Could have the option to add required fields under the user name block?

What if we de-install this mod, what will happen to the users that registered with this mod?

I didn't see an option for an email address?

Great work so far.

Very nice suggestion, I'm going to add required custom field into the register form. Hmm, but it will make the registration less streamline...

After uninstall/disable the product, registered accounts won't be able to login. I have several ideas for these accounts but I'm still thinking

Yes, the proxied email from facebook is used currently. But of course the forum can't send email unless member approve the email extend permission. I think I will ask for that permission after the registration, what do you think?

Or you could just add a box for email address like the other facebook mod.
Some of us have the email verification turned on and would cause problems.

is it possible to get activities of facebook users and there friends in members profile? and also it would be good if you can implement wall comments in users profile for vbulletin site.
