Facebook Connect problem with IE9

[Mark.B]

Does this happen in a brand new, default style?

Scratch that its there but does not work on any browser. When I click the Connect button nothing happens.

Don’t scratch it! Facebook Connect works for me in Google Chrome:

Yeah, seems that internet explorer is the one having issues... any work around?

The changes Facebook made end 2012 – beginning 2013 make Facebook Connect in vBulletin incompatible. The Publish to Facebook feature in vBulletin posting no longer works in all browsers. It worked for me up until the first week of January 2013.

Facebook has some problems now (as always ) I post directly on my Profile page; sometimes, the messages are delayed; other times they seem to be deleted, then they reappear mysteriously!

I checked my Facebook development area, the settings, and the Facebook settings in my vBulletin AdminCP. Everything is as should be.

There was another Facebook incompatibility problem in vBulletin – it was fixed in version 4.0.7. Maybe another fix is needed.

Are you running the latest version of Internet Explorer? The latest version is Internet Explorer 10.

No, I'm running internet explorer 9. I did a quick look at my logs and very few of my users are running 10 - most of them are on 8 and 9, so having this work for older verizons of IE would be pretty important for my site.

It doesn't work on Internet Explorer 9 OR 10 so upgrading to 10 makes no difference.

fixed the problem by doing this :
Edit

/clientscript/vbulletin_facebook.js

Search after :

if(is_ie)

Replace by :

is_ie && YAHOO.env.ua.ie < 10

Thank you for taking the time to write this up -- just tried this and I can confirm it works on 4.2.0 with IE 10 but still doesn't work with IE 9 for me. Were you able to get it working with IE 9?

Thank you.

I admit I didn't really know what I was doing but I tried changing the code to

is_ie && YAHOO.env.ua.ie < 8

This seemed to work then in IE 8,9 and 10.
In version 4.2.1 the code

IS_IE

is no longer present in the file so I'm looking for a new solution for 4.2.1

[MikeF]

There is a mention for:

;var A=((YAHOO.env.ua.ie>0)

in 4.2.1.

I dare not mess with it on a production site but confirm that this problem has existed ever since Facebook adopted some major changes months ago.

Maybe get the code from the original 4.2.0 vbulletin_facebook.js and bring it back with your conditional? Obviously this would not be supported, but it may resolve it, at least somewhat.

;var A=((YAHOO.env.ua.ie>9) ie9 okay

[quitsmoking]

Worked for me for 4.2.2 ;var A=((YAHOO.env.ua.ie>9) ie9 okay
