Is it just me or with beta8 if a logged in user wants to connect his profile with his FB profile he must logout and login back with his FB account ?
I would like to give logged in users the possibility to connect with FB when they are logged in.
I think it was possible with beta7.

gregarios commentedIssue http://drupal.org/node/496866 is a duplicate of this issue. Subscribing. Beta7 did not have this string of hoops to jump through... it "just worked" from my experience. Many people cannot find the way to get it working now.

gregarios commentedThis is a stopper for most people, making the module unusable. Modifying priority unless someone disagrees.
If the visitor is logged in to Facebook when they first visit your website, then the Facebook Login settings are virtually unattainable to them. (Especially if they keep themselves logged in to Facebook all the time.)

cerup commentedsubscribing. This definitely a show stopper.

rc2020 commentedI agree. I've been looking for a way to link around this but I haven't, the module is great but it's only really viable if the user can link their existing account to facebook after the fact.
Great module idea though!

rc2020 commentedShouldn't this be a support request, as it directly hinders module usability, more than a regular feature that would make usability nicer/more efficient?
Changing unless someone disagrees.

gregarios commentedI disagree. It is not a support issue.
This module worked fine before, and this is a bug introduced in the beta8 version.

wickwood commentedSubscribing, I too can't get this work.

gregarios commentedJust to make this thread clear:
To get this module's login and/or friends block to work, initially, one must go to facebook first and log off of facebook.
Then, the user must go to the site which has the module installed, and click the facebook login option, where they must log into facebook again through the module's popup interface. THEN, and only then, will the user be presented with the options in their account settings to keep their account linked to facebook.
It seems to me — a fix for this module would be to automatically log anyone off of facebook when they click on the facebook login link using the module for the first time. Then the person could login at the module successfully, starting the whole process.
There is no problem logging in and out of the module or facebook AFTER the account is linked successfully.
Am I making sense? Will the maintainer comment? :-)

rf-pldev commentedFB Connect works like (and actually is) a FB application, by agreeing to "connect", you are installing the FB application and granting certain permissions. I doubt you would be able to log someone off before they install your application as they have not granted you any permissions to access their FB account. You could provide a link to FB and tell the user that they need to logout, but from what I know about FB Connect, this shouldn't be necessary.
My guess is that the module is checking for a FB Session when it should also be checking to see if the user has installed the application (i.e., already "connected").

etaroza commentedAre we talking here about 356755: what about the case when facebook user already has a account on drupal site? Although that issue is closed it does not work for me...
When I am logged in with Drupal user credentials, I expect that on the "Facebook Connect" tab I will have:
In the second case I don't get any button... Only the message: "Your account is not linked with a Facebook account or you are not authorized to edit the Facebook connect settings of this account."

WildBill commentedSame here... I'm only getting the "Your account is not linked with a Facebook account..." message, but no way to link.
