Link Cotonti with FaceBook

FaceBook Connect establishes cross-site interconnection between FaceBook and many other third party sites, one of which might be yours. It allows:
For more information and examples please read FaceBook Connect Wiki. There are FBConnect plugins available in other CMS. Why not make one for Cotonti? A must have for social oriented sites! This is quite a big deal, so we propose it as a collaborative investment project. That means 3 types of participants:
Investors are likely to be people who run large community sites, or share personal information, or would like to become a FaceBook application provider. Skills required from Developers: PHP coding skills (incl. OOP), SQL, JavaScript, REST and some XML knowledge (for XFBML). And Cotonti of course. Please post here if you'd like to participate in this project. As an investor you should tell how much money you can contribute (either in percent of total expenses or some absolute sum). As a developer please tell why you want to do it and what relevant skills you have. Or let us know what you think about this project anyways. May the Source be with you!

Do you have any approximation for how much time/money this would take? I'd be interested in chipping in for both since they would provide extremely valuable additions to cotonti and possibly even make this THE reason for the rest of the people to upgrade.

I am an ametuer web designer, and I am wishing to help out over in the Development area. I know PHP/SQL well, not really Javascript, but I have mastered HTML, XHTML, and XML (all related).
I have been using Cotonti ever since that day when Trustmaster posted that topic over at neocrome.net, and LDU since... well I'm not exactly sure, but for a VERY long time ![]() May I also suggest as I am not only an avid Facebook user but also a Twitter user that we take into consideration doing a twitter plugin as well. |

Although I'm saving money for college tuition, I also could be your mini-investor. Just drop me a message and I'll see how I can help the community.

Hi guys, as investor I approve first of all FBconnect plugin for 2 reasons :
1. viral effects for your site...open id NO 2. FB accounts overlap other social network accounts I can help you with ideas and financing it until 50% of total expenditures. Cotonti rulez ![]() |

I have already developed something similar in the past (as a school project), for the dutch #1 social networking site Hyves. It has an API which uses oAuth for user authentication. Actually I've also thought about doing a Hyves plugin for Cotonti. I'm willing to work on the development of this project.

Do you have any idea on how much this project would be so we can start estimating how much the donations need to be? Just some general number

Well, I have started with some practical stuff rather than estimations. Overall everything seemed too complex when reading FaceBook docs, so I decided to split this plugin into several small parts, each can be developed and paid separately.
The first part I'm currently debugging is called directly "FBConnect". It provides very basic functionality which is
What can be done after this basic FBConnect functionality is available? Here are some examples:

That's awesome. I've been really impressed with some of the functionality created for wordpress, especially the ability to tie in fb galleries to websites and user interaction as facebook users.

I can release the first part as beta. No time to finish it and write documentation yet.
