FB Connect button or URL on registration page [#371129]

I would like to have FB Connect link on user registration page (or any page on site) on site. I tried with these parameters in query string:

http://www.facebook.com/login.php?return_session=1&fbconnect=1&connect_d...

It opens up in New window(tab) instead of pop-up and then re-size the window. Is there way to construct the URL to have same user experience as FB connect button?

Thanks,

Hi,

You can use FBML to display a connect button.

Thanks for quick response.

I'm new to FBML and not sure what parameters to put in href="#". Also, it will great if there can be FB connect button on comment form itself, as shown in this video:

You can use the fbconnect_render_button() function.

Hi guys,
I tried using fbconnect_render_button() on a custom login block, but the button doesn't show. Tried using tag too but still no good. BUT, if I do a normal login to my site and click my profile, the button is showing up just fine in there. Is there any more settings I forgot?
I thought this is a permission issue, but I can't see any permission on fbconnect on the permissions page.

Edit: Err...turns out only admins can see the button on the profile page.. normal user can't see the button, so I'm pretty sure it's a permission problem

If you added the XFBML code to page.tpl.php as outlined in the readme, you can then add the following snippet into any block. If you don't see a button - log out - clear cache.

<fb:login-button></fb:login-button>
