Just saw the Facebook Auth for YAF but will those using YAF in a Portal (DNN) get anything out of it ?

Thanks

but i couldnt get what you meant by "existing users of DNN" .. how will DNN link fb account with there accounts ? :s

When a User try to log in via facebook, yaf checks if a user exists with that email address, if the user id matches and

if the Setting is enabled.

New Users

There is also a second Option when a facebook user is logging in but do not exist in the forum by default the user will be ignored, but there is a new Host Setting "Register New Facebook User automatically" which auto register the facebook user on the forum, the profile settings will be imported. An automatically Generated Password will be emailed to the user. That the user is able to login normally into yaf without facebook.

is the login available for 1.9.5.5
