    $250-$750 USD

Project Description:

This project is to add support for Facebook Connect to our site http://edison.thinktrylearn.com/experiments/index_all, AKA "Edison." It is written in Ruby-on-Rails and hosted on Heroku, which you must have commercial experience with, in addition to Facebook Connect. The site is under active development, so we want to form a long term relationship where you'll be available for updates and future work.

We need the following functionality:

1. Authentication: Currently users must create an Edison-native account to use the site. This project will add support for people with Facebook accounts to join Edison without having to go through the signup process. Once they connect their Facebook account with Edison they'll be able to use all the site's features, including email access. See following items for details.

2. Profile: User information from their Facebook account will show up on their Edison profile.

3. Email access: After connecting their Facebook account with Edison, Edison will be able to send them emails. (The site sends emails via two features: "Nudge" and comment notifications.)

4. User interface: The three attached files show the necessary UI changes and layout:

4.1 home-1.gif (http://edison.thinktrylearn.com/experiments/index_all) In the header, add the Facebook Connect icon, changing the text as shown.

4.2 create-1.gif (http://edison.thinktrylearn.com/signup): Add the Facebook Connect icon, changing the text as shown.

4.3 login.gif (http://edison.thinktrylearn.com/login): Add the Facebook Connect icon, changing the text as shown.

    Hi Matthew,

    Please check www.memetales.com. We have done exactly what you are looking for. Integrated facebook connect, have displayed facebook user details in the profile page and also synergy between facebook connect and the existing user account.
    have experience with Heroku.
    Facebook does not permit to extract the email id of its user. But sending emails is possible. We will discuss about this later.
    Timeline - Ok
    UI - OK
    Changes and adjustments - Ok but not major
    Staging and development servers - I hope you will be providing this and we are expected to push changes.

    Awaiting to hear from you. Good to know you are a time management consultant.

    Regards,

    Vishnu Shashank.B

    Clarification: The implementation should include any reasonable but unspecified functionality, such as items listed at http://madebymany.co.uk/tutorial-for-restful_authentication-on-rails-with-facebook-connect-in-15-minutes-00523:

    o As a user I can connect my existing site user with my Facebook Connect user so I can later login through Facebook Connect

    o As a user if I register a user through entering my details and later login through Facebook Connect I want to make sure I retain my old user account
