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.

my error comes after the fb connect page pops up, I enter my fb username and password, and then the error shows up at:

I've also noticed an increase in user-registration as it's less cumbersome to sign up..

Again, just wanted to say thanks! What a great mod!!

Glad to hear that

Is /forums is your forum root? It's pretty weird. Have you uploaded the file named "xd_receiver.htm"? Btw, after seeing the error, did your account get connected?

I have a bug to report:

when this mod is enabled and you "edit" a caption on one of the picture in your gallery this text is appended to your caption in the edit window:

<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: fbb_album_editpictures_options -->

Is there a way to show the actual picture (small thumbnail size) over in the message on Facebook. This would help drive more people over to my website.

[Veer]

Yes, good idea.

Please include an option to control "Log Viewer" its getting huge,
I would like to have a scheduled task option that will auto remove logs.
