[SOLVED] facebook integration question was created by lostsoulgb
Hi,

I can't find any examples of facebook connect being used on community builder sites so I figured I would just ask the forum and see if anyone can help me understand before purchasing the software.

From the forums I gather there is a login using facebook iron but is there a way to have them sort of auto login in from facebook without doing it the first time. An example of this is www.scribd.com/ I have never logged into their site with my facebook credentials but yet it has my login there and to encourage me to login is telling me which ones of my friends are using the system.

I have also seen blogs and other sites, which I don't have a login for have my facebook image and name to use to add comments at the bottom of the page.

I'm wondering if this exists for the professional version of community builder?

Thanks in advance :-)

No, FBC is to synchronize users facebook accounts to your site; period. The sites you mentioned are using facebooks FBML api to simply DISPLAY your information, but no one else can actually see it; more or less you do not exist on their site.

Thank you so much for the reply Krileon. So I am correct in assuming these sites are actually using both type systems together? They use the FBML api to display information(and if you post comments or something), but offer to use something like the FBC to permanently link your account to their sites profile?

I don't know, I can't speak for other site owners or other developers. You best approach is to contact them and ask them, but likely yes.
