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.

A little note for attachment downloads:
- YAFB v1.4 had been downloaded 36 times before I removed it
- YAFB v1.5: 4 downloads, YAFB v1.5.1: 26 downloads, YAFB v1.6: 29 downloads, YAFB v1.7: 22 downloads, YAFB v1.8: 48 downloads

Please help

Hi,

Sound like a javascript confict that prevent the script from loading. It's best if you can turn YAFB on, take screenshot of everything (your forum home page, the Error Console of Firefox, yes, I suggest you to use Firefox, at least this time,etc). And then send me via email daohoangson[at]gmail.com. I will see if I can do anything

Any known migrating issue problem from fb connect to yafb?
After the migration, the user won't notice a thing right?

Thanks!

It seems that the user won't be able to login again.

I also want to know the code for the "Connect with Facebook" button.
I'd like to put it somewhere else.

Thanks for the plugin mrpaint

Hi gufgar,

To remove the link in the contact info section, please go to AdminCP > Facebook Bridge > Edit Settings. Find and uncheck the box called "IM icon in ContactInfo"

In the case you described, yes, that use won't be able to login unless they contact the Administrator. I have no idea with those users. They decided to disconnect, hmm.. what can we do? Delete that account automatically? Do you have any ideas?

I'm not sure of your purpose using the "Connect with Facebook" button but you can take a look at the templates named "fbb_register" and "fbb_navbar_button".

Please note: if you decide to use FBML (some kind of special mark up from Facebook), you will have to add a plugin in place because I tried to skip the Facebook Javascript library as much as possible to improve users' experiences. So... it's a high chance that your FBML won't work. Okie, if you get confused, send me a PM. I will answer and help you if I can

has anyone else had problems with this mod not doing anything at all?

I followed the directions perfectly and nothing happens. My Control Panel does not show any of the Facebook options.

ps: I read in the instructions that some other mods may interfere with this, so I disabled all of the other mods and this mod still does not work for me.

like I said - anyone else have the problem of this not working at all?

If no link displayed in your UserCP, please check the Settings page in your AdminCP to see if the templates are populated. It's the easiest way to determine if things are going on the right way or not

Mrpaint, I unchecked the show im icon thing, and it eliminates the facebook icon. But if you go to the member profile page, the homepage is pointing to their facebook account. Can we remove that?

Also I would think it would be best to just delete "disconnect link". If there's a link, everyone will try it.
I have one more request, can you change the indicator from "sleeping" and "working" to "off" and "on". It's easier for the user.

IT works in firefox for me, but not in IE. Cannot see the 'connect to facebook' button on the Facebook Bridge>>options page. All other functions seem to work. ?? confused.

Thanks

The homepage is fetched at the registration. People who don't want that homepage can change it in their profile. FYI, homepage is vBulletin default profile field

You can remove the link by an easy to done template edit but I don't think it's a good idea. Members should always be able to know how to manage their connections, I think

You can change the text to whatever you want by using the Phrase tool in your AdminCP.

Regards,

Which version of IE are you using? The javascript scope is written as simple as possible to work on almost every browsers. I myself tested with Firefox, IE, Chrome, Safari, Opera,.v.v. But if older version of IE (IE6?), maybe the script won't work... Tell me your version so I will try to find an instance of that IE to test (and fix)
