now that facebook has released vanity usernames, can this be modified to include either the profile number or the profile name ...
If it's too complicated to make this happen automatically (if the user enters a number then the coding becomes different and if he enters a username the code automatically changes) then can there be an option to do this with the use of 2 text boxes ?

I'd love to install this as I've also integrated Facebook connect but can't till the time both type of facebook users (with profile ID and with usernames) are able to get correct URLs ...

I am facing a problem as to how to retrieve the Facebook IDs as they have changed their model to vanity URL.

Hope UKBL will come up with a solution to this.. !!

I worked around the new vanity url issue by creating two custom fields, one for numerical id and one for users with vanity urls.

This is the code I used for the postbit template edits. Change fields XX & YY to whatever your custom fields are.

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 2, 5, 6, 7)">
<if condition="$post['fieldXX']">
<a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php/#/profile.php?id=$post[fieldXX]&ref=profile">
<img alt="My Facebook" border="0" src="http://yourforums.com/forums/images/misc/facebook.png" border="0"/>
</if></if>

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 2, 5, 6, 7)">
<if condition="$post['fieldYY']">
<a href="http://www.facebook.com/$post[fieldYY]?ref=profile">
<img alt="My Facebook" border="0" src="http://yourforums.com/forums/images/misc/facebook.png" border="0"/>
</if></if>

Use at your own risk.

The first is for the numerical id & the second is used if the facebook profile uses a vanity url.

Been playing around with this trying to get it to work in VB 4.0, obviously it needs to be recoded as it doesn't work, anyway its a cool little hack and would love to have it on my forum again.

Thanks

I noticed when I set it up to use the vanity names you must include "?ref=nf" after you fill your vanity name in the user details field.

Is there a way around this so you can just enter your vanity name?

For now I just added "?ref=nf" into the address on the style manager template and it seems to be working with only adding the custom Facebook URL in the details field.

Great mod !!

I just think my forum members won't find easy to find the facebook member number (most don't understand this kind of stuff).
Is there any way of associate their email with their member number, in order to fill out that field automatically?
Maybe i'm asking for something impossible

Is there a way so people can input their facebook IDor their screen name? Remember that now with FB you can have your own profile URL like: facebook.com/cobraws

I mean, Like a conditional field or something, you can enter the numerical ID or just the screen name ID.

Cya!

When you create the profile field in admincp... the "Description area" allows you to enter in html so you can take a screenshot then use:

With an image and the number or vanity named circled in red ahh be creative and they will see an image along with your instrcutions on how to find it .

Do what greenbuildpost did by tinkering with the codes and check your url's of friends who have and have not done this to see how to change the code
