When a user signs up for Runkeeper using their Facebook User (Facebook Connect) they don't get a username.
So how can I use Facebook Connect to find out if a FB user has a Runkeeper account?
Thanks

Connecting with FourSquare API V2 using PHP
If the user you want to connect to your app has a Facebook account linked to their Foursquare account, they will be able to login through Facebook. Assuming this user isn't logged in, they will be prompted to log in when trying to connect with your app. Our login screen allows them to login through Facebook: http://cl.ly/image/3h3o2n1e1m1c
I am using facebook connect to allow users to log-in to my site using facebook. I am using the server side authentication using OAuth in classic ASP, vbscript. I want to know if one of the following is possible:
1) Can I identify if the user has authorized my app without redirecting to the Auth dialog? ie, even before the user clicks the facebook login button to log-in to my site, is there a way I can find out if the user who is currently logged into facebook has authorized my app?
2) How can I get the facebook user Id of the user who is currently logged into facebook? This is outside the facebook authentication process. Does facebook offer some api which I can use to read the fb cookie that is set when a user logs into facebook and get the logged-in users's facebook user id?
Thanks
1) Use FB.getLoginStatus from the JavaScript SDK.
2) If he’s not connected to your app yet, then not at all. Otherwise, see 1)
I have a question about facebook login on my website. What I have now is simple login process which logs in user but each time facebook asks user to grant my app an access permission.
It looks like this:
1) user clicks "login with facebook" and is sent to facebook. He/she gives permission to access his/her account
2) I receive back an authentication token for this user
I'd like to have the following flow:
1) when user clicks "login with facebook" then he would be redirected to facebook website and after he logs in I should receive a facebook user ID,
2) search for user id in local database and if it is found then just use stored token
2a) If user is not found then send him back to facebook to grant my application access permissions
2b) receive user token from facebook and store it in local database
Basically, the difficulty for me is to query facebook for current user id without passing a user token to facebook. Thanks for any help
to query facebook for current user id without passing a user token to facebook
No. This isn't possible, facebook will never give you user_id without their knowledge. They have to authorize your application first.
I am developing an application where user can register themselves by filling up the registration form or login with their facebook account to use the application. But my problem is- how can I hit the login page of facebook and retrieve the userid, token, session key, username etc when user successfully logins to his facebook account and then redirect him back to my application.
I am really confused searching here and there. I have to just authenticate my user with his facebook account and comeback to my application with userid and all the keys.
please help.
Kind Regards,

Apparently Facebook supports OpenID, so use that. A quick google brings up articles such as http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/246/
