Integration with vBulletin - Facebook Connect - Allow your users to login with their Facebook account (for 3.8)

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

• 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!

Troubleshooting
Server Requirements:
PHP 5

If you get an error:

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.

This isn't even guaranteed to be related to the mod itself. In fact, based on experience, I'd say it's not, because I've yet to have it show up on any of the numerous installs I've done.

Check your settings, check your mysql and php versions, make sure everything is up to date (MySQL 4 is not up to date), make sure your configurations can handle what you're trying to do.

Whatever the hack is trying to do in that query, is filling up my 'tmp' directory.
I changed from 1gb to 2gb, still the issue is happening.
This is happening since the very moment I installed the hack.
Errcode 28 - device full, the 'tmp' is getting full
Im running php5.2.5, I was running Mysql 5.08, then I upgrade yesterday to 5.1.32, the one recommneded by vbulletin, to see if the problem goes away, no luck.


I then disabled the extact data from facebook option, problem is gone!

This is how all other developers approach things. Esp the humble ones like the great Andrew from links & downloads manager. What a smart guy who treats everyone with respect.

I recently changed my domain name and now i get the blinking three bars. How do I go in and correct? I'm assuming it's related to the change.

Can you disallow the login from facebook option, and just use this to allow exisitng users to integrate the forum with their facebook accounts?

Thanks
David

please let me know as well ... also, is there any option to allow registrations only from register.php
is there a way that the proper e-mail address of the user will be captured when he signs up from the facebook connect option ?
