FacebookConnect is a tool that links your TrinityTown account with your Facebook profile. This tool allows you to use your Facebook email and password to access both sites; and, if you so choose, allows your friends on Facebook can see what you are up to on TrinityTown.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I use FacebookConnect?
FacebookConnect makes TrinityTown more convenient for you because you can use your Facebook email and password to access both sites. This means one less password to remember!
FacebookConnect also allows you the option of publishing some of your TrinityTown activities to your Facebook news feed. For example, if you register for an event through TrinityTown, your friends on Facebook can also see that you are planning to attend.
Via Facebook, your friends already know what movies you like, what books you love, and how much you adore your dog. FacebookConnect lets them know that Trinity is an important part of your life, too. When classmates on your Facebook friends list visit your profile or glance at their news feed, they’ll see that you have registered for an event — one that they might like to attend. If you approve the post, your recent activity will also note when you have invested in the university through our online giving form. We like to think of it as leading by example. How do I get started using FacebookConnect?
You need to make an initial connection between TrinityTown and your Facebook account.
NOTE: If this is your first time to TrinityTown and you have not yet created a username and password for the site, you must first register your account.
When you visit the TrinityTown login page, you will see the "Connect with Facebook" icon. Click on the "Connect with Facebook" icon and follow the steps on the screen to connect your Facebook account with your TrinityTown account. View the step by step guide for more detailed instructions.
What if I’m automatically logged into TrinityTown because I checked the “remember my password” box?
No problem. Log out of TrinityTown by clicking “logout” in the top right corner of the page (in the blue bar). Then, activate FacebookConnect via the login page following the instructions above. When you return to the site and wish to log in, visit the login page and click the “Connect with Facebook” icon, rather than entering your TrinityTown username and password. Provide your Facebook e-mail address and password in the pop-up window, and you will be able to access TrinityTown services as usual. How does a Trinity Town event registration or online gift post to my Facebook news feed?
If you are logged in via FacebookConnect, once you confirm your online event registration or gift, you will see an option at the top of the confirmation screen to publish this item on Facebook. Click "Publish" or "Skip." You can set the default action by checking "Always do this for TrinityTown" in the bottom left corner before making your choice. Please Note: The amount of your gift will not appear in the announcement.If, once I’ve activated Facebook Connect, I login using my TrinityTown username and password, will my site activity post to my Facebook news feed?
No. In order to use FacebookConnect functionality, you must log in to TrinityTown via the “Connect with Facebook” icon upon each visit. How do I Facebook disConnect? (Or, how do I turn the thing off?)
While you are logged in via FacebookConnect, you can visit the TrinityTown home page and click the “revoke authorization” link in the text at the top right of your screen, under your Facebook profile picture. If you change your mind and want to re-establish the link, simply return to our login page and click the “Connect with Facebook” icon. (You will need to re-enter your community username and password as well.)
