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.

Hi everyone, this add-on has been updated to work with Facebook OAuth 2.0. Please update your installation if you are using it (you probably received an email about this from Facebook).
I installed everything like in installation file. I got my key and secret. I logged out of my forum then clicked "connect with facebook". I was asked to agree to the app requiring permission to my info. on FB. I agreed. Then was taken back to my forum and saw this:
=======
In order to be able to post messages on the forums, you must first register.
Please enter your desired user name, your email address and other required details in the form below.
========
So does this mean it's not working yet? Or is this normal? If it's normal and I have to register still on the forum, then what's the use of connecting with face book then?

The form is there to let you choose a username. The email and password fields are all optional (the form states that clearly at the top).
Ok. So I tried my name but it said name already in use. Then I tried a different name and left the "optional" stuff out, I got this message:
The email address you entered is already in use. If you have forgotten your password, please click here
and I left the email field blank so how is it that the email is already in use??
I don't get this..
If you let the email empty, it will use your Facebook email.
Anyway, as you already have an account, you should associate it instead of registering. Go to profile.php?do=fbb then associate your account. You will find the link in the left sidebar in UserCP too.
I will do that tomorrow.It's 4.30 AM here But I think it's working ok. Just need to do some tweaking (on my part not yours) your mod installed easily and nicely. Missing the share with facebook button though. It should be here:
<img src="images/impact/buttons/share_facebook.gif" alt="Share with Facebook" title="Share with Facebook" border="0">

The package contains the button but for default style only. You will need to manually copy that to your style buttons folder. The default one is images/buttons/share_facebook.gif. Glad it works for you. Cheers

Hi..so where do I do this association? I went to face book and couldn't find it. In account settings there is "linked accounts" is that what you mean? Can u help in more details please?
When using this mod, and after I accept the app's permissions on face book, I get back to my forum, it won't let me connect with my face book name. I have to use any other name and email but once I am in and want to share a post, it is shared in my original face book name..I am kind of confused.
