Facebook Integration is LIVE!

[Phillyman]

Retromags is about to get 65 MILLION NEW users!!!!!!!

Well sort of....Soon anyone who has a Facebook account will be able to log into Retromags with those credentials. How cool is that? Well it gets better....Not only can users log into Retromags with Facebook credentials, but their Profile picture, Status and About Me can be imported over into their Retromags profile. What about our current members? Well they can tie their accounts to Facebook accounts also. Very cool features indeed!

UPDATE!!!:

Facebook Integration is live! Anyone with a Facebook login can now log into Retromags and post replies and topics just like a registered member can! You can choose to sync your profile picture, status and about me from your current Facebook account. Please spread the word on your Facebook accounts!

Unregistered users who have a Facebook Account Can Log In Here

I may set it up this weekend, this is the official announcement from the developers of the software we use....

IP.Board will now support a basic implementation of Facebook Connect as an option for logging into IP.Board and associating their account with the same login as their Facebook account. This feature will be off by default and can be optionally enabled by the administrator. We will have a technical specifications draft available in our knowledgebase upon release for those who care, but the basics are as follows:

You must first register an "application" on Facebook's website pointing to the integration file included with IP.Board 3. You then must enter some basic keys that Facebook provides in your ACP.

Users will have the ability to use Facebook Connect to login to your site. They will also have the ability to either associate their Facebook account with an existing IP.Board account, or create a new IP.Board account.

Basic profile data such as avatar, profile picture, "About Me", and status will be synced to IP.Board from Facebook

We have purposely kept the complexity of the various syncing options available through Facebook Connect to a minimum. We have many ideas on how we would like to expand the capabilities in the future, but we wanted to keep this integration basic for the time being.

Facebook Connect support will be available with the second beta release of IP.Board, and will be available on the preview site to test with beginning Monday.

We hope you enjoy!
