f/connect isn't really applicable to a zencart store since out of the box you cannot checkout as a guest. f/connect works on the premise of authenticating a user against your websites own auth/acl. Since zencart requires specific information to create an account, and not all facebook users have that information in their profiles to begin with, your really beating a dead horse.

The best approach you can take here is throw 15 - 20 hours of work at it and strip registration from zencart, us f/connect to authenticate, then modify the checkout process to register an account while they fill out there shipping/payment information. You could auto populate some fields, not many using the f/connect API.

Hope this helps, no small task.

oh ok , it looked like it could get most fealds it needed , facebook upgraded its api and from a working test i found that used f/connect as well as zen carts , it got email, name, DoB , and then it asked for a shipping addres at checkout time . but there is no info on that site , url in post above ^^^^ . if any zener knows the admin /maker can you let me now please :) ..... oh well , i'll just forget about it atm , i'm not skilled enuf in php codeing and don't want to brake zen :)


cheers all

Having the facebook connect isn't necessarily in-applicable. As people can pay as a guest through paypal express and set the option to add their paypal information to automatically create accounts for their customers.

The code above works to log into facebook when you paste it in includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_login_default.php

immediately after this code
<div class="centerColumn" id="loginDefault">

<h1 id="loginDefaultHeading"><?php echo HEADING_TITLE; ?></h1>


The problem is though that it only logs them into facebook
and they would have to know to use the express checkout option in order to pay as a guest and does not use the stores checkout routine. Which is all fine and dandy if they purchase something at which point it will grab their info from paypal. But the thing to do for those who log in with facebook would be to grab a minimum of their email and name and enter them into a seperate customer category to keep your store in fromt of them

How to do that is the question.

At which point this would be a great thing o have for building lists

I meant to say that:

but the thing to do for those who log in with facebook and do not complete a purchase would be to grab a minimum of their email and name and enter them into a separate customer category to keep your store in front of them

Installation
--------------------------------
1. backup following files: "includes/modules/pages/login/header_php.php", "includes/modules/pages/logoff/header_php.php"
2. import "install_sql.sql".
3. upload all files to the server.
4. edit login template file: "tpl_login_default.php", Add the following code at the top of the blank:

<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : '<?php echo $facebook->getAppId(); ?>',
session : <?php echo json_encode($session); ?>, // don't refetch the session when PHP already has it
status : true, // check login status
cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session
xfbml : true // parse XFBML
});

// whenever the user logs in, we refresh the page
FB.Event.subscribe('auth.login', function() {
window.location = "<?php echo zen_href_link('facebook', '', 'SSL'); ?>"
});
};

(function() {
var e = document.createElement('script');
e.src = document.location.protocol + '//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js';
e.async = true;
document.getElementById('fb-root').appendChild(e);
}());
</script>
<div>Have a Facebook account? <fb:login-button perms="email"></fb:login-button></div>

5. finally, Edit "includes/extra_configures/facebook-config.php" , replace "appId" and "secret" field.
