Editions: Light, Ultimate, Corporate, Module Facebook Connect
Versions: 2.0+

 

The VIMP Facebook Connect module requires a standard Facebook account. In the following we assume that you're familiar with the basics of Facebook.

First create a Facebook application to enable the use of Facebook Connect:
http://developers.facebook.com/setup/

(If creating an application for the first time you have to enter your mobile phone number to enable Facebook to verify your identity. You'll receive a code immediately that enables you to go on. This service is free of charge.)

Add a New App

Goto "My Apps", "Add a New App" and give it a name.
