First Post Newbie.. Drupal <---> facebook account and data you can have.

Im developing a site using drupal where we will host a flash game , this game will be able to be played on the drupal site, and we want to of course extend this game to facebook but keep the ability of all stats, users and such the same.

Some in the past I have tried a few games on facebook only to go to the developers site to find out I needed to sign up to their site with new info and non of my fb stats info was loaded or connected.

With facebook connect I believe it works this way, a user can go to the drupal site and use facebook connect to login (and create?) a drupal account with the FB long # email. While this creates a login how do obtain additional information to fill out the users profile on drupal, im also looking at using advanced profile kit to allow more data.. What can we get and keep from facebook?

Now what about the opposite situation, a user on fb authorized our game to be played in facebook, but then they find the way to our main site (off of fb) and want to log in and play the game their with the same data or stats they created?

Any thoughts on this?

Ideally we are storing data on the drupal site, lets say for example exp, price, level.. fb canvas will pull that in based upon a services connect via json to log the user in and get the user profile info..

Im assuming if the user has never signed in our side, we would need to create the user based upon the fb id on drupal, and then start storing stats as the play.. if they come to our site, they should use fb connect to log in and that should get them logged into drupal and use their fb account that was created.

i guess just a bit confused in this scenario. any thoughts?

You can make this happen.

You can make this happen. That's what this site is designed to show. All the content and data comes from the same database and server, whether you go to http://drupalforfacebook.org or http://apps.facebook.com/drupalforfacebook.

it's one facebook app, being used for both canvas pages and facebook connect.

yea thanks for the reply, i

yea thanks for the reply, i was working with steve to see about extending the permissions since the TOS has changed and if the user authorized your app you can get extended permissions, we tried to simply grab the user hometown data into drupal but no go..
