MemberGate 8 includes many Facebook features that you can place on your site.

Before you do any of that however, you need to set up a few things with Facebook so that they will work on your site.

You only have to do this one time for your site.

1) Go to Facebook to create a new "app" by going here:

https://developers.facebook.com/apps

2) Click on "Create New App" to the top right of that screen:

3) Name this app something unique but a bit descriptive. In this case we used "Mysite.com". 

4) You would then click on the website box as shown below. Fill out the fields similarly to what is shown below by replacing them with your relevant information. You will notice "APP ID" and "APP SECRET" up top. You will be using those two numbers in a moment. 

5) Bring up your site in another window or tab so you can click between this Facebook page and your site's control panel. Then go to the "Social Networking" category of your control panel and click on "Facebook Application":

6) In the Facebook Application screen, you will put in the Facebook App name that you had choosen, as well as the APP ID and APP SECRET number (see the image for step 4 above, those APP #s have a red square around them). Copy and paste those into your Membergate site's Facebook Application screen.

7) VERY IMPORTANT: it can take an hour or more some times for this newly created application to be recognized by Facebook. Until that happens, your Facebook functions won't work on the site.

Using Facebook Comments, Facebook Login etc

Now that you created a new Facebook Application using the steps above, you won't have to do it again. One FB App for your site is sufficient.
