Drupal Facebook connect functionality

Question

Hi Guys,

I have tried to implement Drupal connect with facebook functionality via fbconnect module. I have installed and set up the plugin. When I click on the facebook button the new popup window is opened and it requires my facebook credentials. After I enter those, instead of just simply logging in to my site, drupal asks of me to create a new account for drupal.

Is there any way to just connect with my facebook account without creating a new one on the drupal site.

RPX works the same way.

I believe you would have to modify the code to grab the returned data from Facebook and simulate a user creation with user_save, then automatically log them in, bypassing the Drupal login. Drupal needs a way of tracking that user on the site which is why that occurs.

I don't think the modules are quite there yet, though. Thanks for pointing that out, because I will have to come up with something like this.
