Sounds like lots of work for people running WPMU installs with a _lot_ of themes…

Has anybody got any experience of this plugin vs. the Andy Peatling one – would be interested in your feedback on the differences. Thanks.

This is cool. Now if only the FB-Connect plugin for user registration would work for me. I get a page under construction error every time I try.

I’m watching this space carefully, especially as FB is about to release user credentials and emails to 3rd parties (with FB user permission) – very soon. (Mid-Jan now, but the timeline is shifting.)

Faux FB looks like a great plugin, but as Dave mentions above, it’s the marketing aspects of using the next generation of FB Connect that will surely take it’s use to the next level.

Do you know of any other plugins apart from the Andy Peatling FB Connect plugin that can perform this for Buddypress/MU?

Also, are you aware of any resources that give a KISS approach to configuring the FB settings for 3rd party developers. Apart from the FB Developer pages.
I’m more of an integrator rather than a developer :) It seems simple enough to just set up for an API code, but what about if you want to go a little further with features such as wall to wall post sharing?

thanks
Paul

You’re understanding correctly. I think this plugin serves the purpose of getting people to be able to comment easily on your WPMU site, not necessarily for adding users.

Thanks!! Just yesterday I was trying to make up my mind about using 2 standalone WordPress installs over WPMU because I wanted to use FB Connect and Disqus, but I can live with this for now. My only qualm, since this plugin doesn’t add users to your database you kinda miss out on future “marketing” to your sites users. Capturing an email address for some could be a deal breaker. Or am I misunderstanding?
