YAFB - Yay! Another Facebook Bridge Details »» | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This is not just a "port" for vBulletin 4 of this modification, this is the next version of the modification which support both vBulletin 4 and vBulletin 3 family
IMPORTANT: FILE ISSUES HERE: http://code.google.com/p/vbulletinfacebook/issues/list (require a Google Account) Yay! Another Facebook Bridge 3.3.2 Tested to work with vBulletin 3.7.x and 3.8.x (3.6.x requires some manual edit, contact me for detail instruction) Tested to work with vBulletin 4.0 (use different .xml import file) Please note: this product requires PHP5. If you get weird error messages, please check if you PHP version is still 4 (which is very old and you should change to PHP5 as soon as possible). Also, MySQL 5 is strongly recommended [WHAT IS IT?] There are many vBulletin - Facebook bridge out there but installing is always the problem for most of forum owner. So I decided to build this product from scratch and provide you the ability to install this Facebook Bridge into your forum in 10 minutes. The detail install instruction can be found below (under the Feature section). A few technical notes: This product uses Facebook Connect to maintance connection between vBulletin forums and complicated (and awesome) Facebook servers. All most everything is automatically done by the script, even the Administrators don't need to do any manual editing (yeah, I'm talking about manual templates editing, you WON'T need to edit templates each time you implement a new style). Once again, most of everything is options which can be enabled/disabled via AdminCP or UserCP interface. All possible type of caching is use to improve performance and reduce heavy PHP load on server side or javascript load on client side. Well, it's quite a long paragraph for introducing. Let's make it work! [SEE IT IN ACTION] Screencast: 1. Installation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ComjeipReE4 2. Connecting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7m85O_iX70 3. Posting and Notifications: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBwwiffLvJ8 Demo board: vBulletin 3.8: http://daohoangson.com/vb38 vBulletin 4: http://daohoangson.com/vb40 Authentication Username: demo. Password: demo. [MAIN FEATURE] *** Damn easy to install! 1. Loaded with long list of actions/notifications: posting thread, posting reply, rating thread, sending pm, sending visitor message, uploading image (avatar/profile picture), uploading pictures, comment on pictures. This list are designed to be expandable easily later by me or other people who loves to develope this product (well, if you do, contact me right now!) 2. Ability to quick register with Facebook credential but Administrator can disable this function via AdminCP. Facebook proxied email addresses are handled completely and vBulletin can send email without any problems (of course, the member must grant the Email extend permission). There is a setting in AdminCP to disallow Facebook proxied email addresses also for boards that need email explicitly 3. Ability to auto login with Facebook session (Administrator can turn this on or off in AdminCP and members can enable or disable this feature on their accounts either) 4. Other abilities: Display a profile block on vBulletin member page. Display a wall tab/box on Facebook profile page. Synchronize avatar from Facebook. 5. [AdminCP] Administrator can "edit" template bundle easily. Actually the old template will be deactivated, the new template will be registered and then all action associated with the old template with be updated with the new template bundle id. Oops, why you need to care about all of it? I did it for you already! Just go the the editing page and click Edit. Yay! All done 6. [AdminCP] Staffs can manage connected users and see basic information about them (including granted permissions) 7. [AdminCP] Administrator can decide to: migrate connected users from other products to YAFB, restrict private forums from being posted to Facebook, view detail log of YAFB in action, send notifications to connected users *. [Experimental] I have added a fun feature that generate the Fans List, the photo will be posted to new thread with friend tagged (if available). The main purpose of this bonus feature is to demostrate the ability of the bridge. If you have an idea, contact me and I will implement it if I can *. [Experimental] Friend Inviting functionality is added. Access from UserCP > Facebook Bridge > Invite Friends [CHANGE LOG] Version 3.3.2 (released on Jun 10, 2010): Register On-the-fly issue with vBulletin 3.8.4 fixed Version 3.3.1 (released on Jun 08, 2010): Bug fixes and Migration for vBulletin 4.0.3 Version 3.3 (released on Apr 06, 2010): Auto login related features added.

I did a small demostration with my kBank System (which is a money system with award/thank functionality and a useful hiding feature) and it runs pretty well. If you are interested in testing kBank in action with YAFB, contact me. If you are a developer who wants to integrate your plugins/products with this Bridge, contact me either!

I wanted to remain with YAFB, as truth be told - I'd rather not face the hassle of swopping over to the default vBulletin Facebook Bridge, but since upgrading to YAYB 3.3 - the product just stopped working. Heres an example. stevensmith registered on my forum with YAYB; However, since the upgrade, when stevensmith logs in (login available to mypaint if you want to test...), he is prompted with this Register screen; Despite already having an account! - as this screen shows; Now I have two options. Fix this error or migrate the users over to Facebooks default bridge. Could anyone share the answer to either? |

So, I'm encountering a major slowdown of my main site and a number of really strange java issues with addonChat. It's not like I have a slacker of a server, as it's eight fast cores, 15K RPM RAID10, and 16GB RAM. The performance hit is bad enough that as it stands, I'm going to have to disable the entire product by Tuesday, when my next big wave of traffic will hit.
Is the performance hit and Java issues a normal thing with this product, or is it due to the hack that had to be installed to get the latest version running on 3.8.x? Edit: It may be that the Java issues are due to the new release of Firefox, but I'm not sure yet. We're still investigating. The performance issue is definitely the Bridge. I can see it in the server's logs. |

When I post a new thread I get this error.
Unfortunately I've had to disable the mod for the time being. Any ideas?
