Facebook user integration on Plone

I am creating a Plone site that will allow users to register with Facebook, but I need more than just boxes and submission forms.

I already have collect.simplesocial [1].

Registered users are expected to have more data than the default Plone (i.e. height, weight, average workout ...) and data that can be obtained from Facebook.

So the question is: how can I register users that some data comes from Facebook? A Facebook connection is very convenient, because whenever a user logs into Facebook, he will also register on my site.

Perhaps a Plone PAS plugin? Or just pre-fill the registration form (although then the user will not be automatically registered with the Facebook connection?).

Any help would be appreciated!

Greetings

Martin’s next book will contain an example.

I did the initial job of integrating with Facebook and registering for Plone:

https://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/collective.facebooklogin

This is mainly at the prototype stage at the moment, but feel free to fork and expand it to suit your needs. The following is a brief demonstration of the current functionality:
