-====== Setting Up Facebook Connect ====== 
  
-These instructions will walk you through steps necessary to set your site up to start using Facebook Connect. 
- 
-  - Install and enable the addon as instructed in [[addons/install/start]]. < 
-  - If you do not already have a Facebook App for your website, go to [[http://developers.facebook.com/setup]] to sign up.  Note that you will need to have a personal Facebook account to create a Facebook App. 
-{{ :addons:social_connect:facebook-step1.png |}} 
-    - For the **App name** enter what you want the app name to be.  This will show when visitors click to login with facebook, it will be used at the top of the window to log in.  We recommend to use your site's name or something similar. Be sure to read the info provided when you hover over the ? next to the app name to see restrictions. < 
-    - For the **App Namespace** you can **leave that blank**.  Don't worry if you want to set it, you can set it later by editing the app. < 
-    - If you see one, Do NOT check the box for "web hosting"((Note that this option is not in the screenshot, for some reason the option only shows for some people.  If it gives you the option though, don't check it.)), since you already have your own hosting. < 
-    - Continue with the registration process.  Note that to create a Facebook App, you will need to have a **verified Facebook account**.  When you try to create a new Facebook app, if your Facebook account is not already verified, it will tell you how to verify your account at that point.  Follow the information provided by Facebook for how to verify your account. < 
-< 
-  - In the Facebook App settings, you need to make sure your website is configured for the app.  **Facebook has changed the app control panel, we are in process of updating these steps, the screenshots below no longer match up.  Contact us if you need help until then.** To do this: 
-    - Go to [[https://developers.facebook.com/apps/]] and log in if you are not already. < 
-    - Click on **edit settings** on the right hand side, as illustrated below: 
-{{ :addons:social_connect:facebook-step2.png?400 }} 
-< 
-    - After you click on **edit settings**, the settings similar to below will show.  You will need to fill in the 2 areas that are highlighted below: 
-{{ :addons:social_connect:facebook-step3.png?400 }} 
-< 
-    - For **App Domains** enter the main domain name, without the www if you use it.  As an example, if your site was installed at www.example.com you would enter **example.com** ((Hover over the question mark next to the setting to see Facebook's full description of the setting.))  When you enter the main domain there, it should allow all sub-domains as well so that www.example.com will work, as well as any sub-domains for geographic navigation if you happen to use that feature. < 
-    - Click on **Website with Facebook Login**, then enter the website URL.  If the software was installed in http://example.com/index.php you would enter **http://example.com/**.  In other words when you view the software homepage on your website, it should be the entire URL minus the file index.php. < 
-    - Click the button to save the settings. < 
-< 
-  - In the admin, go to **Addons > Social Connect > Settings**.  On this page, you need to enter the **Facebook App ID**, and **Facebook App Secret** as displayed on Facebook.com.  As long as you have signed up for the app correctly, you can view the app at [[https://developers.facebook.com/apps]].  <
