Facebook Integration - Testing Needed

**fmckinnon** · 01-17-2009, 09:55 PM

Hey Everyone,
I'm working on a FaceBook integration, and need some volunteers!

The way it should work:
1 - If you are brand new to the board, you can login with your FaceBook account and choose a userID for TheWorshipCommunity.Com

2 - If you have an existing account here on TWC, you can login with your FaceBook account if you wish, and associate it with your existing userID.

3 - When you post new threads, etc., it should post to your "Wall".

4 - Depending on your settings, you can get thread notifications, etc., on your FaceBook account.

Try it out and come back here to report any errors!
Fred

OK - totally cool, this works.
I logged out, and then logged in with the FaceBook Connect .... I didn't want a brand new account, so I choose the "use existing ID" ... etc.

Just replied to my first thread since doing so, and it asked me if I wanted to publish my response on my facebook feed - and boom, it worked.

We'll see if this works!

Matt, I just went to your Facebook profile, and you're right - it's there. IT WORKS.

Ok Fred, call me blond, but I don't get how to login from Facebook... I've been looking for a clue but, Duh!

Cosima,
You don't actually do it from FaceBook itself - if you logout of the forums (click the logout link in the top right corner), then you'll see a blue "FaceBook Connect" icon right under the normal login area in the top right corner. Click that, and you'll be on your way. Let me know if it works - since you already have an account, you'll want to use your existing userID, which is lytesource
