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.
After upgrading to 3.0.4 i've got some problems like
*) I'm logged in and i can login using facebook
If you close the browser after logging in with FB connect, when you reopen it, it won't be connected anymore. I'm saving the connect status in the vb session object, but it looks like the vb session object needs to know about plugin variables. I'll work on a fix for this.

The only way you can get this error is if you go to fblogin.php and the code can't get your FB User ID (either because the FB cookie wasn't set or you typed that url in directly).

Ok, waiting for the fix because i've already connected my facebook to my vb account and on forums i can't see that conection

Even i'm logged in or out, i'm getting this error when clicking on facebook button!
I haven't had chance to test it fully yet, but there's some odd stuff going on with tables or something in the navbar which didn't happen in the 3.02 version. The button seems to be contained to the top half of a table cell or something. Screenshot attached.
Pressing the button simply takes me to the "Thank you for logging in, Morrus" interrupt screen, and then takes me back to the forum index with no effect. No Facebook window popup or anything.
[Edit - OK, it must simply remember that I connected my FB account when 3.02 was running, because now my FB avatar is there].
It no worky yet. Sorry. Though maybe the second issue is a non-issue.

RE navbar: I had to switch over to checking user's online status with javascript. Because FB doesn't destroy their cookie on logout, a race condition occurs where if the user logged out from facebook, they would still appear logged in on FB within vb and would get a FB error if they tried to post a thread. So there's a bunch of new logic in the fbconnect_button and fbconnect_init templates. You probably customized fbconnect_button, right?
RE second item: That's how it should work, you probably already linked your account to FB.

Haven't touched it.
The issue isn't anything to do with the functionality, it's simply the display - the button's positioning looks wonky, different to how it looked in the 3.02 version. I haven't dared to touch anything for fear of breaking it.
silk's mod was a disaster and really messed up countless boards. I'd realyl love to install this but would love confirmation that it's working.
thank you to the coder for giving it another try.
Yeah, this is turning into a head ache. Thought I tested it pretty thoroughly, but there are some non-normal use cases and unexpected browser dependencies. Add to that two sets of sessions/cookies that make debugging difficult.
I'm going to mark this as in beta and continue working on it until it gets rock solid.
For those of you who installed, thank you for helping out. I recommend uninstalling and waiting a bit until I get this all straightened out. I'm not giving up yet!!
