[CommunityEngine] Re: Facebook Connect plugin for CE
Great idea Bruno, I will be checking this out as Facebook Connect is next on my list of things to do for our site. The price seems very reasonable, it would cost us a lot more to do this in-house. I hope the plugins idea works out as way for you to get something back from all the hard work you have put into CE. Thanks, -- Barry On Mar 30, 9:48 am, Bruno Bornsztein bruno.bornszt...@gmail.com wrote: Hi everyone! Thanks to everyone who expressed interest in this plugin. I've finally packaged it up and put it up for sale (selling a digital download is not as simple as I would have expected). Anyway, there's a new plugins page on the CE site: http://www.communityengine.org/plugins.html And you can buy the CE_Facebooker plugin from there. Please note that it needs the latest version of CE to work (although it *should* work with anything greater than 0.10.8). --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CommunityEngine group.

What a great integration! What price point are you thinking when you talk about charging for this plugin? Very new to RoR, Ruby, programming, and Community Engine. I can speak for most when I say we love what you're doing, and hope you can keep the innovation going!

Me, too!!! Plus, IMspirit needs the by invitation functionality you have now on curbly.com. Is there any way we can get/buy that from you, as well? Feels good to be back in the saddle, so to speak.
