woolyg Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Hi all, Another possibly frivolous question from me, for all who have previously developed facebook apps: I'm looking into setting up a facebook app for a charity site I'm doing, but the process on the site I've developed requires users to be logged in in order to send charity pledges to others on the site. If I set up a facebook app, it would be required to create local accounts (on the charity site DB) for everyone using the app, so that the app can connect to the charity site, and allow folks to pledge stuff to one another. My Q is as follows: if I set up a facebook app, is there a way to 'gain access' to the name and email address of the facebook user who signs up to use the app? This way, they can be signed in, pledge what they want to pledge, and the local DB of the charity site can be updated with the pledge, made from facebook. Of course I wouldn't be using the app for evil - our intentions are shiny and bright! Is this possible? All input appreciated.
