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.

If I go into UserCP and click - Permission to Publish Stream: Publish a `Test` newsfeed to your friends' stream

After visiting the URL http://www.chattaboxforums.com/profi...publish_stream (Publish a `Test` newsfeed to your friends' stream), there are 2 possible cases:

If you granted the extend permission "publish stream", the post will be published automatically
If you didn't, a dialog will appear asking you to publish the post. You have to click Publish to let it go through

Both way will result into a published post which can be viewed by your friends

Attached image is when you don't grant the permission. That's the dialog

[matthewhotdude]

grant any "Not Permitted" permission by clicking the status

Thats the settings I have, are they correct? as it still doesnt work

[matthewhotdude]

Ahhh sorry it works. So it only posts on news feed when someone posts a new topic, and not when they reply. correct?

[drsli]

I?m grateful for the continous support and nominated this for motm a few days ago.

How can I remove the facebook link from the postbit?

And a request, The facebook box in the profile is a bit poor in my opinion, too small and would be better if it was a full page tab

Perhaps I am just not firing on all cylinders tonight (wouldn't be a first.) But everything seems good except no matter what I click, register or login, I get brought back to the original connect page. Could you take a look mrpaint and let me know where I went wrong?

A little tricky but please edit the phrase named "fbb_please_connect" to something short. I suggest using a single sentence. And especially, please do not use the symbol '

That was it exactly, thanks and thanks for the great mod! (I haven't completed the registration process yet, need to get some sleep and find my test facebook account)
