Facebook Connect Integration

torvista:

Well I tried this module...and got it working. It uses the facebook login to prepopulate a COWOA page.
Hardly a big time saver as the only things you can get reliably from facebook are the name and email address and maybe city.
I don't use COWOA so I have done my own version of this on a vanilla 151 shop on three pages.

login page

1. If you are not logged into facebook and don't have a corresponding shop account, nothing happens...you need to create a account.
2. If you are logged into facebook and don't have a corresponding shop account, nothing happens...you need to create a account.
3. If you are logged into facebook and do have a corresponding shop account, you get logged into the shop automatically.

create account

1. If you are not logged into facebook and don't have a corresponding shop account, nothing happens.
2. If you are logged into facebook and don't have a corresponding shop account, the account fields are prepopulated and on saving the form your facebook id is saved in a new field in the customers table so the next time you visit you'll be logged in automatically.
3. If you are logged into facebook and do have a corresponding shop account, you get logged into the shop automatically.

logoff

1. There is a fb button to log out of fb too. This is not shown when the user is logged out of facebook.

facebook documention is poor..they seem to rely on stack overflow to provide real answers.

So, I'd be grateful for some feedback on this, if its worth submitting it as a plugin.

It can be seen and tested for a short time at

www dot motorvista dot es /dev/zen151_demo

obviously you'll have to register to test it...once I have finished with this I'll be deleting the data.

Hi torvista,
I tried your demo pages with Zen-cart 1.5.1, and FB connector is working as you described.
Please can You describe modifications between **cycshop** module and yours version? Or better can you share your result directly?
I tried some thing on old one from cycshop, but I am not successfully.

I use zen-cart 1.3.8. Maybe I will have to do some adjustment, before it will done. Best if you can upload version for 1.3.8

Thank you much

Please can You describe modifications..
I'll package up the necessary files when I have some time....

Ok, here the files I ended up with, for testing in a stock Zen Cart 1.51 installation...I SUGGEST YOU DO THE SAME.

I appear to be the only person on the planet who has no time for nor interest in facebook or what long-forgotten school-friends have had for breakfast ...so why I bothered to make this work I really don't know, I guess it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Hence only a bare bones readme, and the files are not packaged for general use: DROP THEM IN A NEW TEST INSTALL FIRST and then put them in your site when you are happy they are what you need.
