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.

What about automatically bringing across some Facebook details? I like to collect users first and last names but don't really want these on the register page. Would you be able to set something up in the admin section so we can link some details from Facebook to specific profile fields.
Well, this is a feature which exists in other modifications long time ago... I think I will add it soon

I can't get past this point to see if how it works with facebook and to adjust user settings.
Hi, it's a modification which I installed to demonstrate that YAFB can work with other modification. You should put some dummy value in the Location field (which is placed in Required section) :up:
Mate, I'm not sure what I've done wrong but I've broken my test board somehow. Keep getting this error....
Code:
Warning: include([path]/fbb/hook_init_startup.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/includes/init.php(301) : eval()'d code on line 43

Any idea how I can fix this problem?
Reason: File missing
Quick fix: Upload all files/directories under "upload" to your forum root
Which part of AdminCP generates that error message?
I can't even get into the /admincp/ otherwise I would uninstall the product and try reinstalling it.
Likewise, I tried disabling plugins in the config.php thinking that would allow me in but that hasn't helped either. Not really sure what I've done to break it....

Anyway, it's really weird since your front-end runs normally while the back-end sucks. If you wouldn't mind, send me your board address with an account information so I can login and see what's going wrong.
Typical, I try uploading all the files again and disabling hooks again and bingo, it lets me in first time. Reinstalled the product and enabled hooks, and it's all fine. Go figure.
Sorry about that! I swear I'd done the exact same thing 2-3 times before....

Software sucks by itself sometimes (or many times? ). No worries. If you have any further problems, feel free to ask here. Cheers
OK, after my earlier dilemma I've come across a new problem. I can't seem to authorise my account to post messages to a Facebook page using the Page Account itself.

This Facebook Profile must be connected with a forum Account with Offline Access permission granted!. If you wish to publish to Page using Page Account itself, ask the Page Owner to visit this page: http://www.myurl.com/profile.php?do=fbb_pages. To get the Facebook UserID of a user, you can visit his/her Profile, move your mouse over "Send [name] a Message" (under Profile Avatar), copy the link, it is in the form of "http://www.facebook.com/gigaboxx/dialog/MessageComposer.php?id=987654321", so the Facebook UserID is "987654321"
