Facebook Connect
This add-on allows your guests and existing users to login with their Facebook account through Facebook Connect.

WORKS WITH 3.8!

Benefits of Facebook Connect
  • Users can simply login with their Facebook account without going through the registration process.
  • Increase user interaction and your traffic through Facebook notifications and news-feeds!
Features
Facebook users will be able to receive Facebook notifications when:
  • There is a reply to their thread or a thread that they're subscribing to
  • They receive a new PM
News-Feed will be published on to the user's wall when the user:
  • Logs in for the first time
  • 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!

How to Upgrade From 2.0.0 to 2.0.1
  • Upgrade the product. (Import the product XML again and set overwrite to yes).
  • Update Feed Template IDs in the settings (make sure they are the same as at: FB Connect Options -> News-Feed Templates)
How to Upgrade From 2.0.1 to 2.0.2
See UPGRADE.html
  • Fixed the notification problem (notifications were sent to wrong people)
  • Login button will now be displayed on vbAdvanced pages
How to Upgrade From 2.0.2 to 2.0.3
See UPGRADE.html
  • Fixed the Facebook avatar displayed for the wrong people problem.
  • Added Facebook UID & Profile URL field to data map.
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.

dunno if this is possible (but what about putting some form of a timer on it so the thread could be created first).

or there has to be some form of logic used when vbulletin creates the thread.... would it not be possible to use the same logic to get the thread id even if it doesnt exist yet?

Can someone post a screen shot of how the wall post looks? Hmm... not sure the point of a wall post with title if Threadid can't be captured... unless i misread... hmm... if it can be done as a feed where it grabs threads started by facebook users after the fact ... on a schedule or something... hmmmm

Just upgraded to the latest release, but no there aren't any FBConnect buttons showing anywhere

Almost as if it doesn't exist.. But YES.. I have uploaded the new files, imported and made all the template changes.

Any ideas ?
