Fabee is Coming

Fabee is on the way! The long promised extension, which allows you to connect to Facebook Connect with EE, is near release:

So, what’s been happening? Well, we’ve rewritten fabEE again (pretty much from scratch). This was due to the significant changes within Facebook in the past few months. The most obvious change is the way the publishing to Facebook now works; it uses the new(ish) Stream Publish method that now makes the whole process more straightforward. This method will also update a commenter’s Facebook status as well as post the content (as well as a link back) to their stream. This also means that your users now have to give specific permission to both receive email from your fabEE site as well as permission to post back to their stream – you’ll notice a little permission status under your login if you connect to this site using Facebook. The other significant change is that fabEE is now just an extension, there is no module component.

The extension will be release soon for $59.95. I hear rumors that a certain “owner” of a certain “Insider” may have been in on the private beta, so look for more news from this site on Fabee in the future.
