My first Facebook App

E-mail Print

Last weekend I went to BADCamp (I know. I know. A Joomla! user at BADCamp — heathen)

I picked up three really cool things.

  • An introduction to Jquery. (this should become its own post.)
  • YUI for setting up websites. (not standards compliant but a really fast way of making multicolumn tableless designs.
  • Facebook and Drupal integration. &endash; the inspiration for this project.

Following the rule of check Joomla! extensions before doing anything. I found a facebook extension for Joomla!.

The process was very quick and took about an hour to get single sign on working primarily because of BADCamp.

  1. Install the extension.
  2. Register with facebook as an app developer.
  3. Reinstall the extension.(click the reinstall button)
  4. Reconfigure the facebook settings.
  5. Finally get the app working.

Almost exactly like setting the app up with Drupal.

So know I have single sign on to my website with Facebook, Now to extend my app to do a few cool things.
