Facebook Recommendations

I am going to launch a website offering registration. I just thought about implementing Facebook Connect for login / registration.

Anyone have any recommendations on how to do this properly?

I started by loading the script, now I'm at the point where I have public user data (username, first name, last name, etc.).

Now I have a few questions:

  • Should I allow registration of both FB and non-fb users?
  • For Facebook users, I just have to publish publicly available data for each user who subscribes, add it to the same user database, where I store non-fb user data?

Thank,

  • Depending on your audience, but for any site that is not a facebook application, I would provide the user with both options.
  • Separating users in different tables will probably only complicate you when you try to add more logic. You can either make an extra field storing facebook uid, or make an extra table by linking the user to the facebook user.

When I implemented the facebook / google login, I found this document very useful (it is from Google, but ideas work for every third party): http://sites.google.com/site/oauthgoog/UXFedLogin/summary
