i'm not a developer and don't have much time to learn. I do know there are numerous opensource extensions out there for systems like Joomla that allow this. Perhaps glancing at their code (which is opensource) will give a vanilla developer some ideas?
Facebook offers their code for developers wishing to make a facebook app, I think they charge close to 400USD if you want to publish your app in their directory, closer to 200USD if you're a student. I looked in to it a bit ago, I don't know if this information is up to date.
I think our first priority would be to implement facebook connect for logins. Then we will be posting to facebook's activity stream from Vanilla. If we do this then Vanilla will act a little like a facebook group (but better).
I think this is what you are asking for. Am I right?
@Todd = so there is going to be a plugin for Facebook Connect in Vanilla 2? Awesome! It would be nice if the implementation was generic enough to allow for different implementations like Google's Friend Connect, Open ID Providers or with the website which is hosting the forum.
@ntulip. The interface is generic.Other authentication schemes are just as important to us. I guess the generic idea is to use the api to authenticate a user and synchronize their user info in Vanilla each time they sign into the app.
Facebook has the other feature to accept notifications which is another interface.
and something that I've seen popping up more and more often is http://disqus.com/
test UL

<li>Google Account</li>
<li>OpenID</li>
<li>Twitter OAuth</li>

<ul><li>test UL</li></ul>
Sorry, but the UL and OL tags *really* should show up as HTML intended them to - ordered and unordered lists with numbers/letters and/or bullets - this is a bug that should be fixed before release.
I'm almost done with a FB/Twitter/Google authentication extension based somewhat on the previously existing google extension. I'll post relevant info in another discussion for feedback.
