[Forum] Facebook Connection tutorial?

[swisscotton]

Is there a tutorial as to how to connect to facebook (v4.0)? I have the application set up but I am not sure what to do next.

Please see these instruction:

Assuming you have everything art up correctly and FB Connect is enabled should your avatar change every time you change your profile picture on Facebook?

[Steve Machol]

No. The avatar should stay the same unless you change in on your forum account.

I had done all of that already and there is still nothing showing me that facebook and VB are connected. I was expecting some kind of button? How can I check?

[swisscotton]

I am going to assume its via the facebook developers page, however because its not written for VB it doesn’t say where these scripts go in vb. Is there any instructions on this?

[swisscotton]

I have a feeling i am not getting any connect button because i am on 4.0? I have read this has stopped working for that version?

[Steve Machol]

Upgrade to 4.0.7.

No. The avatar should stay the same unless you change in on your forum account.

This is lame, IMHO. Why would it suck in one profile photo then stop, leaving the user to manage it. Why not just leave the avatar the way it was if this is the case. This should be fixed/changed.

I don't disagree. I was just answering the question.
