Hi Louis

This currently isn't possible. There is an open ticket regarding this
already. https://github.com/GraseHotspot/grase-www-portal/issues/136

The main issue is that facebook doesn't provide a domain that is separate
from the main domain, purely for authentication like this. So the only way
they can access the facebook like button, or login with facebook button, is
by giving them access to all of facebook.

I have seen 1 other product out their that claims to make this possible,
but haven't yet seen how they do it.

Regards

Tim
