Wordpress Single Sign on with Facebook Connect

edited December 2009 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8
I was looking at the single sign on plugin for integrating vanilla with wordpress and I would like to know if the method listed in http://lussumo.com/docs/doku.php?id=vanilla:integration:wordpress applies if you have Facebook connect available as well. For the Facebook connect plugin for Wordpress I am using http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sociable/, which I believe maps the Facebook account to a database entry in the wordpress users DB.

Has anyone tried this? Should it work?

    The Wordpress integration you linked above is strictly for Vanilla 1, while the Single Sign On plugin is only for Vanilla 2.

    Would anyone be interested in adding SSO + Facebook connect and patching Vanilla 2 to integrate with Wordpress for compensation?

    Direct message me if you are interested.

    Could the result be distributed/open-sourced?

    Yep. I have no reason to hoard such a thing.

    Do you have a preference on how they're integrated? I see three options: Wordpress running on Vanilla 2's user tables, V2 running on WP's user tables, or plugins that keep the 2 sets of user tables in sync. I currently use the third method for a vBulletin/Wordpress integration because I think it's the least invasive and most likely to maintain compatibility moving forward. Specifically, I disabled the ability to register via Wordpress and handle everything (registration, profile editing, etc) through the forum.

    Do you have a pre-existing Wordpress install which needs the current users maintained, or are you starting from scratch?

    Has work on this started? I'm quite interested in this one taking off :)

    Thinking about Facebook Connect, another great one to have in this package would be OAuth (which encompasses Twitter and Google Friends IIRC).

    I think having the registration and logins being handled by Vanilla would be a better choice. People using the SSO plugin with WordPress now would most likely appreciate this.

    I am curious, though, if a user changes his username or email via WordPress, does it get updated in Vanilla's database instantly? How about changes via Vanilla?
