'Ha sido' or 'Ya fueron' ?

Estoy confundido. Does 'Ha sido' have the same meaning as 'Ya fueron'?

'Ha sido' = has/have been -->Means that the action started in the past but can continue in the present.

'Ya fueron' = already were --> the action occurred in the past and will not continue.

Please, read again all the previous suggestions and tips that Lourdes wrote above.

Good!

It isnt the same. You can say for example: 

La película ha sido divertida = The film has been funny
(Ellos) ya fueron a comprar = They have already gone to go shopping. 

"ha sido" is with 3rd person but you can say the same meaning with the others if you conjugate the verb "haber sido" for example yo he sido, el/ella ha sido, tu has sido...

On the other hand, you can use "ya fueron" to say something that happened in a past but very close to the present.  And you have to conjugate it also with the irregular verb "ir" in present perfect such as yo (ya) fui, tu (ya) fuiste, el (ya) fue...
