This plugin supports buddypress and provides login from Facebook.

Unfortunately there are some problems with the bp-fbconnect plugin. For example I can login with FB-Connect but I cannot log out.

I also tried wordpress with buddypress, bb-press and the FB-Connect plugin - that worked. Strange...

Further problem:
buddypress-bbpress forums are group based. With a bbpress standalone you can have category-based topics...I prefer category based topics. It is easier to keep the overview.

1. i'm running wpmu+buddypress+bbpress and installed bp-fbconnect plugin
2. for bbpress, i followed the fbconnect instruction in facebook website; it has a step by step instruction how to get the fbconnect installed in a page (meaning, hack your bbpress theme files).

Please give us step by step instructions.

Facebook connect is very important.

Anyway, for those that are interested, you can adopt the buddypress-enabled WP facebook connect to bbpress and get the facebook connect running on bbpress. At least I am able to get the login/logout in bbpress as well as share + avatar. Profile edit is all handled by bp with the exception of favorites topics.

anyone? thx

The connect button is automatically added to the registration page and a user is created.
These two things need some modifications I guess

How about this too: An "IntenseDebate Connect" option as well (user can signin using their IntenseDebate User name and password.

Since Automattic are behind both IntenseDebate and bbPress I'm guessing it would be easier to implement than Facebook Connect.

So if I had a bbpress installation on my site, instead of users signing up in order to post, they could just use Facebook Connect.

Any examples of sites already doing this? Or do you know of any other forum software that has implemented it?

To me, this would be the single most important bbPress feature imaginable. Facebook, not OpenID.

--myballard.

OpenID is a means of authentication. Facebook is an authenticator. The problem is that the autenticator has opted for it's own proprietary means of authentication, rather than using OpenID. In addition to its own API, Facebook could, should and probably will support OpenID. As of last month, Facebook has joined OpenID, but they've not implemented anything that I know of yet.

Next time you're on Facebook, search for "Facebook should support OpenID" - there's 800+ folks who agree. Which is a start, given that it's developers, not hoi polloi, who are going to be concerned with this.

somebody knows how to do that?

Actually, that's not true. You can collect a proxy email that goes directly to the person's inbox and can be sent using your app.

Whoa sweet, sheatsb! That does make it friendlier and a bit more worth looking into... why hasn't anyone written this into their plugins?

Nope, no email. They make you have to go through facebook if you want to contact a user, so any email notifications plugins you might be using would be rendered useless.

Someone wrote a Facebook OpenID gateway somewhere, can't find it at the moment.

Could you be thinking of Identitude?
I think it's been down for quite some time, unfortunately.

On a side note, Facebook joined the OpenID Foundation last month:
