  • 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!

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.

Very interesting!

How does the postbit of someone who posted with a facebook login look like? Username? Avatar?

The user is asked to select a Nickname (username) when he/she logs in for the first time so it looks like any other postbit. Right now there is no way for others to distinguish between facebook users and non-facebook users.

I will happily add to the paypal donation if you can figure out how to tie in established forum users with their facebook accounts.

the new fblogin.php file works beautifully.

I agree and maybe use Google Friend Connect as that supports yahoo as well as openid - which I believe will support myspace as well?

I tried this on my test server but i get this error when i click connect with facebook:

Code:
Invalid Argument

The Facebook Connect cross-domain receiver URL (http://camci.ozafy.org//xd_receiver.htm#fname=_opener&%7B%22t%22%3A3%2C%22h%22%3A%22fbCancelLogin%22%2C%22sid%22%3A%220.969%22%7D) must have the application's callback url (http://camci.ozafy.org/index.php) as a prefix. You can configure the callback url in the application's settings.

Ok what am I doing wrong. I uploaded all the files, made the template changes and set it up in admin panel. However when I click the button to login with facebook it does nothing.

I even switched to the default theme and set that up and it still won't work

Ahh ok. So that nickname is then permanently tied to the person's facebook id?

can you help me with step 1?

Step 1:

Set up a new Facebook Application through which vBulletin and Facebook will be communicating. When setting up the application set the Callback URL to your vBulletin url. Set up a new Facebook Application here: http://www.facebook.com/developers/ (no coding skills required)

when trying to submit, I get

"You need to have at least 5 users before you can submit your application."
