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.

I'm pulling my hair out with this mod also.

Sometimes it will save the templates in the Facebook Bridge edit settings, but most times no.

It worked this morning and now it does not work. Nothing has changed in the last four hours on my site so I'm at a loss.

this is what i get if i try to read a post of another user ... (after some minutes this error is gone), anyway, the mysql error is only for me (user ID. 1) if i try to view that thread with my test account i haven't that error ...

I get it on ever thread that's displayed.

Most of the time, warning messages are turned off but as your hosting still has this setting on, please replace that file with the one attached on this post to prevent the message to be displayed. Sorry for any inconvenience this made to you

Thanks.

Hmm, let me clarify this point

Only new thread has option to publish to news feed (called "Post short story"). New reply has options to post to our owned wall (called "Post one line story") and to add a comment to the appropriated post (called "Post comment (if the appropriate wall post is available)"). Please take a note that, only short stories can be displayed on friends' news feed. All other posts will just remain in the poster wall.

Hmm, is that clear? Or I'm misunderstanding you guys?

Disabled the whole thing, re-enabled it. What is so perplexing is that as I said before, my FB avatar thumb shows up fine on the Options page.

Also other FB users on my site are displaying their Profile Pic.

Any suggestions for me to try?

Thanks,

You mean, avatar sync works with other members, except you?

First, give your hair a rest
Well, I don't get your idea about "save the templates"? This product will try to register templates on the first time it is initialize (fill in API key and secret). Can you describe more detail about saving templates?

Well, this is generated when the product try to update synced avatar. It not really safe mode but it's some kind of restriction from server side. If you can edit your php.ini, consider these 2 options

1. Remove open_basedir value (or comment that line out by placing a "#" at the beginning
2. Add a value named "upload_tmp_dir" and point it to one of the directory named in the error message. My personal suggestion is "/var/tmp"

Hope that help. Also, I'm wondering how your site can handle avatar upload with all these settings? Hmm

Not sure this has happened to anyone else, but I have just installed the product including the upgrade, the installation went very smoothly, however, in the admincp my templates are not populating after inputing my API key and application secret as outlined in the installation video.

Is it possible that I have to install the complete 2.2 product first, then set up the API key and application secret, THEN upgrade to 2.5?

I followed the instructions to the letter but cannot get the templates to populate at all.

Thanks for any and all help!

OK, I just tried uninstalling the bridge then installing version 2.2, input the PAI key and application secret in "edit settings" and the templates still do not auto populate, what am i doing wrong?

Anyone?

It's not the problem with upgrading or not. Can you access YAFB Log? From AdminCP, I mean. Check it there is something useful from there

[ScottiG]

This is what is shows about the templates in the log.

Apparently the attempt to register the log happened but it did not return a populated template.

Any thoughts?
