using facebook oAuth permissions to auto register user on a wordpress powered site

I maybe totally barking up the wrong tree here but I just cant seem to find anything thats helping me on this subject.

Here’s the deal, I have created a wordpress site that is set up as a classifieds ‘free ads’ site.
I dont intend for it to be used as a website, only as an app within facebook.

I have set up my application on FB, looked at various different types of wordpress plugins etc but cant find what I’m looking for.

When a user adds my app on facebook they get presented with the permissions dialog ‘allow this app to blah blah blah etc’ when accepting this they then see teh wordpress site in the iFrame, but i then have to run another plugin to enable facebook registration/login. which in turn will of course then bring up another authorisation dialogue.

Is there a way of just using the initial permissions dialogue to pass credentials to my WordPress site so that it automatically creates a registration enabling the user to get straight in and use the app?

sorry if i havent been technical enough, and also, if there is someone out there that knows this like the back of their hand, i’d be interested in paying for someone to do this?

thanks
Brad

  1. If you’re looking to bypass Facebook’s oAuth permissions, you’re not going to be able to. If you’re looking for a tutorial of some sort on how to create a Facebook login for your website then I’d suggest the following article from the Facebook Developer’s site.

    If you’d rather not mess with such code, then you can always implement the social plugins made by Facebook themselves. They have a login and a registration plugin which allows you to add these features to your website a lot easier than coding through the previous article. My experience is that the official documentation for Facebook’s API is your best resource and there’s not a ton of tutorials out there which are better than just reading the documentation. If you’re new to back-end programming (entirely a naive assumption) then I would highly suggest reading the docs, otherwise it’s going to be pretty hard to implement what I believe you’re trying to do.
