Facebook Integration

What Facebook information do we access?

When you join your Facebook account to your TomorrowsPro account, we have to access some of your information to provide you with an account. Here is a list of all fields we request and why we need them:

  • Name - It just wouldn't be any fun if team rosters said "Player 1", "Player 2", etc.
  • E-mail Address - Team and stat updates are e-mailed to you so you know what is going on with your teams. This also acts as your login if you decided to start logging in with TomorrowsPro credentials instead of your Facebook username/password.
  • Birthday - TomorrowsPro restricts some of our younger users from sharing too much so we need your birthday to do that.
  • Profile Picture - We show your profile picture next to your name on the "Friends" page. Only your Facebook friends on TomorrowsPro can see your picture. Your picture can also be seen in the top bar when you are logged in with your Facebook account.
  • Profile Link - Anywhere we put your profile picture, we link it to your profile.

That's it! We have no use for any other data so we don't access it. I want everyone to feel safe sharing their data with their friends on TomorrowsPro. If for some reason you feel like something on the web site isn't safe, please e-mail our support team immediately and we will investigate.

Updates to the Facebook Integration

The Facebook Integration has gone through a ton of changes over the past few days. Since these updates have been made, the integration is more stable and easier to use than ever before. The changes were necessary because Facebook made changes to their platform...

Facebook no longer supports:

  • Profile Boxes
  • Profile Tabs
  • The version of Facebook Connect that TomorrowsPro was using

As a result of these changes, the profile boxes and profile tabs will no longer be available from TomorrowsPro. These types of integrations worked great because you could show your stats to others without having them sign up for another application. If there was a way to build your stats into Facebook so your friends could see them without connecting to TomorrowsPro, we would have built it. Since that doesn't exist, we have enhanced the way the TomorrowsPro web site uses Facebook and built stat sharing with your Facebook friends into the site.

The changes that were made were enhancements to the Login/Registration process and the "Friends" page.

Registration/Join your Facebook Account to your TomorrowsPro Account

Whether you are a new member wishing to use your Facebook credentials to join TomorrowsPro or you are an existing member who would like to join their Facebook account to their TomorrowsPro account to enabled Facebook sharing, the process is the same.

Navigate to TomorrowsPro.com in your browser and click the Facebook Login button.

A Facebook login window will appear. Type in your Facebook credentials and click "Login"

If you have already connected your Facebook Account to your TomorrowsPro account, you will be logged into TomorrowsPro at this point.

If you haven't connected your accounts yet, you will notice that the Facebook login button has become a Facebook Register button. Click on this button.

This Facebook Register button will bring you to the TomorrowsPro Register page. Fill in the Facebook form at the top of the page and submit. By using your confirmed Facebook e-mail address, you will not have to confirm your address again. Also, if your main Facebook e-mail address matches your Primary or Secondary TomorrowsPro e-mail addresses, we will link your Facebook account to your existing TomorrowsPro account. If we can't find a match, we will create a new account for you. (Add a Secondary E-mail Address to Your Account)

Friends Page
The friends page has been around on TomorrowsPro for a while, but now we have improved it. Since TomorrowsPro doesn't allow you to connect or be friends with other members of TomorrowsPro, we have setup a way to share stats with your Facebook friends only.

Your friends page will list all of your Facebook friends who have:

  • Connected their Facebook account to TomorrowsPro
  • Set their Sharing options to share seasons with Facebook
  • If these two conditions are met and you are currently logged into TomorrowsPro with your Facebook credentials, you will see which friends have updated their stats recently as well as all of the stats they are sharing with their friends.

Add a TomorrowsPro Login to your Facebook Connect Account

Many members have started asking how they can get a TomorrowsPro.com e-mail/password login. When you register via Facebook Connect it is incredibly easy because you don't have to enter any registration information. The problem is that without that additional information such as e-mail and a password, you must be logged into Facebook to use the site.

To create a TomorrowsPro e-mail/password login follow these steps:

1. Navigate to "Personal Options" -> "Update User Information"

2. Enter in your e-mail address and save the page

3. Navigate to "Personal Options" -> "Change Password"

4. Enter in your desired password and save the form

5. At this point you have successfully setup your TomorrowsPro login. Log out of TomorrowsPro and Facebook, then login with your TomorrowsPro login. If you run into any issues, contact support with the e-mail address you used and your Facebook ID Number.

Links in Facebook Tabs working again

This post is outdated: Facebook has deprecated Facebook Profile Tabs. Please see Updates to Facebook Integration for the latest Facebook integration information.

Facebook has entered a bug fix and the links in your TomorrowsPro "Sports Stats" tabs are working again as expected.

Links in Facebook Profile Tabs not working

This post is outdated: Facebook has deprecated Facebook Profile Tabs. Please see Updates to Facebook Integration for the latest Facebook integration information.

Facebook is aware that the links in all application tabs are not working as they should. Hopefully they can fix it soon...The primary sub-sport of your most recent stats should still show when you click on the tab in your Facebook Profile. I will update the blog with any news on this.
