As far as I have understood this module, it does not integrate with umbraco membership. When you successfully use fb to "connect" to the site, you are not an actual member so you can't post etc.
Could you provide some pointers on how to achieve this?
i've done it before by "syncing" facebook users with a member, and each time a facebook user connects to the site, i'm logging them in as a member (based on the email provided by facebook)
"Syncing" means you need to find out who's logging in as facebook user, get facebook detail (such as name, email) and create a member programmatically based on those facebook details. And use standard asp.net forms authentication methods to login the facebook user as a member.
Grabbing facebook details based can be done using the facebook api's.
I have realized that this is the way to do this. There is no code examples or posts that explain the process though. Could you recommend anything? I'm surprized that this is not a module in itself.
