Description
I'm putting this out to users of this module as well as to Dave, the developer:
Does anyone have experience migrating a website which employs the Facebook Connect module to the greater Facebook module?
I'm running a website which currently has several users whom registered and connected their accounts to Facebook via the Facebook Connect module. I'm curious to see if there's a possible way of migrating to the Facebook module without too much chaos ensuing.
Thanks,
Thomas

Before Drupal for Facebook there was a facebook auth module. And I used the same keys in the authmap table as that module used, the idea being to make them compatible - but I never tested it. The Facebook Connect module came later. I have no idea what it writes to the authmap table, but if you can make the entries there the way Drupal for Facebook writes them, it might "just work."
There are basically two tables to look at, authmap and fb_user_app. Drupal for Facebook *should* write the appropriate info to fb_user_app when a user visits any page, so you shouldn't have to do anything there.
As always your mileage may vary and no guarantees.
