About Developer · **Released**: 01-24-2009

Staff Note: Moved to Graveyard - this will never work now that the old style facebook authentication is no longer available.

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

There is NO NEED to upgrade or reinstall if you already installed this mod for 3.7

Upgrade to 2.0.6 so that users with the new super long IDs will be able to login.

This mod conflicts with PhotoPost vBGallery!
Quick fix:
Disable the following PhotoPost vBGallery plugins:

Userinfo Merge
Integrate Postbit Showthread

Benefits of Facebook Connect

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

Creates a new thread

Fetch user data from Facebook

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.

They do not have a password in the database. Try signing up with facebook and then try logging in with username and same password. it doesn't work.

As normal, the email addresses that Facebook uses are proxy emails which when mail is sent to them forwards the email to the address that is on their Facebook account

With a few hacks it can be sorted. I have it so that on Edit Your Details page the "Edit Email and password" button shows even for Facebook users.

When they click this I have it so they can view their Facebook Proxy Email address and change their password. They can then copy the Facebook Proxy Email, logout and then go through the lost password procedure to get a new password emailed to them.

Once they have this new password they can login via either method and can then set a password they can remember. Works perfectly

Are these users able to still create an album and how do they follow forum permissions? considering they are not registered users?

Not true. I've tried sending an email to these users and receive a bounce back in return.
