Facebook app integration

Phil,
We'll have to do more testing with the Authenticated Referrals and auto registration. We did a lot of changes to the login/registration functioality that should bring us 'closer' to that goal, but weren't planning on testing or advertising Authenticated Referral registration until the next release. With where you are, it should be a quick hop to a solution though. However, we're working on some minor bug fixes for 4.2.0 and going to get 4.2.1 out in a few days (Wednesday is the current timeline). Once that's out, we'll focus on getting this working for you.

Sorry for the delay, but I think we can get you going by the end of the week.

Thanks,
Alex

Phil,
I'll be doing a lot of AR testing and development tomorrow to get you, and another user, some answers on how best to set things up and what needs to change. Feel free to check out that post as well in case there may be information you might be interested there as well:

Will keep you posted.

Thanks,

Phil,
Alright, we've done a bit more testing and setup a (very quick) test site to play with Authenticated Referrals. You can view it at:
apps.facebook.com/jfbconnect-rocks/

That's using a completely unmodified version of JFBConnect v4.2.1, and it seems (to us) to do what you're looking for with automatically logging the user in. It doesn't have a separate flow for users registering through the site itself, but that really shouldn't affect the authenticated referrals bit.

For us, on that site, when we first get the authentication popup just for visiting, an account is created for us and we are immediate logged in. Later on, if we return to the site, we are automatically logged in. Right now, the only oddity we're seeing is that if you log out and then immediately try to go to the page, it doesn't necessarily log you in. The cookie from Facebook isn't being destroyed properly.. we're looking into it. However, if you clear your browser cookies, log into Facebook and then visit the page, you should be auto-logged in.

Let us know what you see, and if it is/isn't what you're expecting.

Alex

Oh yeah, the main settings for us, in JFBConnect, are in the Configuration area:
User tab - Registration Flow set to "Automatic"
Login / Logout - Auto Login Facebook Users set to "Yes"

Those are really the only settings that should be necessary.

Phil,
As mentioned before, we're looking into making Authenticated Referrals a first-class citizen, which means fully-supported and (hopefully) error-free in the 4.3 release (this summer). We'll be looking into the issues I/you mentioned, but I can't guarantee we'll have full solutions until the next release.

We have put up a configuration guide for using AR's with the 4.2 release, as well as some of the issues you'll run into, on the page below:
www.sourcecoast.com/jfbconnect/docs/face...henticated-referrals

I don't think anything will be new to you there, but we're getting feedback and will post any new findings or recommendations to that page as we encounter them.

Thanks for your feedback and good luck,
Alex
