I'm in the process of implementing Facebook Connect on the website here. First off, for those of you who don't want to use it, don't have a Facebook account, or don't care...you don't have to worry about anything as nothing will change for you.
For those of you who have a Facebook account and would like to use it, or help me test, please continue reading.
Once completed, Facebook Connect will allow you to log into SF using your Facebook login credentials. That means, you don't need to remember a separate username/password for both this site and Facebook, just one set. When you're logged into Facebook you're automatically logged into SF and when you're logged into SF you're automatically logged into Facebook. The same goes with logging out. If you log out on SF you'll be logged out on Facebook as well. If you log out of Facebook you'll be logged out of SF.
At this time,
NO new functionality has been added except logging in and logging out. In the future it will allow you to further integrate Facebook into SF and visa verse, if you so wish. Say you update your status here on SF, you can choose to automatically have it updated Facebook. The same goes the other way around...update your status at Facebook and you'll have the option to automatically update it here at SF. It's pretty straight forward and that is only one of the options available. Right now I'm just trying to get the login process working properly.
Facebook Connect will also allow people who visit the site and do not currently have an SF account to log in immediately using their Facebook credentials and post without having to sign up to the site.
If you have an existing SF account and would like to connect it to your Facebook account to help me test this feature, please follow this link:
http://www.snowmobilefanatics.com/fbconn...count.aspx I've done a LOT of testing but people seem to be running into problems. The more help I can have looking at this, the better off we are. Just report any problems here.
Remember, you can un-link your accounts at any time so this is by no means a permanent thing.
I appologize for any problems people may encounter. Just please bare with me as it is all new to me too, but it's all pretty cool stuff and I think it's just about working.
ALSO, please note: If you get any misc pop-ups or other annoying things please let me know. This is NOT normal and shouldn't be happening. NO pop-ups exist on this site and for good reason. Please report any weird things you see.
